As expected, Stephen Colbert had something to say about the stupid mess we had in Boston on Wednesday.
Note: this is the first time I’ve posted a clip from Colbert while the show is still on!
Hey, this is neat. Yesterday, Jimmy Johnson posted a comic strip that I own. I had it professionally framed and it hangs on the wall outside of my office. Click the thumbnail picture to see a larger image of it. Jimmy was kind enough to send this original to me 11 years ago, when Eric was only 3 years old. At the time it seemed it would be forever before he needed to start shaving, but that time is here! Eric, who turns 15 this month, received a Norelco electric razor for Christmas.
Excluding myself, for the month of January there were 2788 unique viewing visitors (non-viewers are search engines, etc.) representing about 37,000 hits. Compared to last month this is a huge increase in addresses accessing this blog, but about the same number of hits.
After Colbert tonight I left the TV on for a bit of South Park, a show whose virtues are mostly ignored by me, thanks to its gratuitous profanity. But what hit me this time is how the voices of the kids are, in the tradition of David Seville and the Chipmunks, obviously sped up.
I grabbed 90+ seconds of audio, then slowed it down. A reduction of 25% sounded about right.

This is video of the mysterious objects being placed around Boston. This stunt ranks with the San Diego radio station contest that got a woman to drink water until she died, to win a Wii. But as stupid as The Cartoon Network was, Boston authorities must accept some blame for playing the part of Chicken Little.
What the heck is this? Three times the AARP has sent me something, acting as if I’m already a member, simply because I’m over (just over) 50. And this will be the third time I ignore them. How much money do they spend trying to move up the aging process? I’m sorry, but this is about them and what they want and not about me. Call me later, AARP, after my ankle is better and I’m running again, when I’m not feeling old.
