I smell a trend…

On the same day that I (finally) post about my biking accident, PeeZed has an unfortunate interaction with a ladder and leaves. While the casual observer might not make a connection…I smell a conspiracy!

Think about it – there are just too many connections to ignore. PeeZed and I are the only two publicly blogging faculty at UMM that we know of. And that’s just the beginning. Certainly anyone with the analytical skills of an ID supporter can see that this is

a conspiracy to silence us:

  • Middle-aged
  • White
  • Male
  • Married
  • Heterosexual
  • Scientist
  • Faculty
  • At UMM
  • Who are bloggers,
  • Support and study evolution,
  • Have highly nerdly tendencies,
  • And have kids
  • Who are heavily into theater (theirs and ours)

Surely this can’t be a coincidence, can it? First we learn that global warming is “a direct effect of the shrinking numbers of Pirates since the 1800s” and now this. Maybe I should start an on-line petition where we can all express our concern in an effort to ensure that Our Fearless Leader adds this to the priority list for Our Nation’s Security.

Yeah, that’s the ticket…

(Ain’t it amazing what you can infer from two data points?)

Currently listening to: The tremendous “Death letter blues” by Son House. I (slightly) prefer the recording on Columbia’s Legends of the blues: Volume 1, but what was playing was the version from the 4 disc American roots music set that went with the PBS series.

No tag for this post.

3 pieces of silliness

In an effort to ensure that people don’t actually think I have something meaningful to say here, I thought I’d share three pieces of complete silliness brought to my attention by Sub-Evil Boy. So, because I know that you don’t have any real work to do (I know that I don’t) you might want to check out these three little videos (all discovered by Sub-Evil via JibJab):

  • Big Box MartJibJab‘s highly amusing look at America’s favorite retailer.
  • The end of the world” This one is dead funny (ho, ho, ho) and features a fair amount of “strong language”, leading to one of those “This is damn funny, but should our son actually being finding this stuff?” moments. Parenting is oh-so-interesting as we head into adolescence… :-) It’s interesting that the web site folks don’t actually know who made this, but liked it so much that they made a web site for it.
  • Looking for my leopard
    Still from Looking for my leopard
    Those crazy folks at rathergood.com make some pretty goofy low-tech videos to accompany pretty goofy songs by a band by the name of “7 Seconds of Love.” Sub-Evil and I are contemplating singing this particular ditty at the next CAC Open Mic Night on campus, as the students tend to love this kind of silly stuff. “Soupy George” is also quite a load of fun.

Now get back to work!

Currently listening to: “Dreams from the wounded mouth” by the Degenerate Art Ensemble’s new album The bastress. Fun stuff, this!
