"Ammo with Flavor"

/
Coming soon, to a Wal-mart near you: Season Shot - "Shoots, Kills, Seasons"
1) Load your gun with Season Shot and let the hunt begin. Watch as your bird is seasoned on impact leaving no harmful waste behind 2) Forget about removing shot, prepare the whole bird for dinner! The Season Shot pellets will melt in the oven seasoning the entire bird. 3) Enjoy! Finally, there's a better way. Season Shot is coming soon in these flavors: - Cajun - Lemon Pepper - Garlic - Teriyaki - Honey Mustard Compare: Other Brands: No flavor here. Season Shot: Our ammo has flavor
I know what all the bird hunters in my family are getting in their stockings this year. (and being from the South, there really are more than one). I rest better at night knowing that the next time our Vice President shoots his 89 year old hunting partner in the ass, at least he can rest assured that it will be with tasty hardened pellets of honey mustard flavor.

NaNoWriMo: Day 20

/
Ok, novel. We're 20 days in. And I hate to say it, but the shine is starting wear off. It's not that we're not making progress. We are. We're at a hair over 34,000 words, which puts us just a smidge ahead of schedule. But I have to admit that I'm struggling. I don't know if it's that the newness has worn off, or that you're just not interested in this relationship anymore, but the excitement, the passion, the tingle just aren't there like they used to be. Now I admit that I've been a little distracted too. I've got the house in California, and travel for work, and alright, I've been using pretty much any excuse to just put in my minimum effort. Yeah? Well, entice me. Giveme some characters that sparkle, some dialogue that's snappy, some plot twists that leave me breathless. Give me ninjas, dammit. My Bride, after all, is a few thousand words ahead of us. And that is just plain wrong, I tell you. Come on now, 10 more days. You can do it. We can do it together. More caffeine, less TV watching.

I am Mother Goose, and I support this ad

Now that the elections are over in the US, it's time for some retrospective on the attack ad culture. Over at National Public Radio, Melissa Block interviewed a couple of the voice-over talents who do much of the narration of those ads. Theirs is a true talent. They can make anything into an attack. If you haven't had a listen, click here. They read a couple of nursery rhyme cum attack ads. I was laughing so hard I had to pull over.
Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall. He said he could put himself together again. But after wasting thousands of our tax dollars, all the King's horses and all the King's men, he failed us. Humpty Dumpty. Wrong on wall sitting.
