On You Should Eat Shad This Week
The shad I'm used to seeing are smaller than the palm of my hand, die during the winter, and stink the lakeshore up as they decompose and rot. Not appetizing at all.

On The Final Word on Men and Shorts
I live north of 30 (30.1 something...) It's 85 degrees. I'm wearing shorts.
And since my latest shorts are probably five years old, designer shorts are for the youngsters anyway.

On I Am David Brooks' Lazy, Unemployable "Missing Man"
Wow! I'm one in five! Stay at home dad, in fact, I quit my job when I got married, just to raise my four step-children. Sadly, I don't think I've put in enough quarters yet for SSI, let alone SSDI. Working seven years basically under the table at one point (don't ask) and then another 11 years as a civil servant is the issue. Same with my wife who has been under the railroad retirement system for most of her life until they decided to lay her off.
And I have news for Mr. Brooks, I'm already married, the economic situation really, truly sucks, but I do expect to get back on the beast in the future.

On Man Too Lazy To Delete Things Diagnosed As "E-Hoarder"
A coworker never threw away his phone messages. Ever! He kept them with him until the year was up, then he'd file them away and start a new stack. Now, this was when email was just getting started, and he never deleted an email. He was VERY unhappy when he had to start deleting some of them because his 2 megabyte mailbox was full. We may laugh now, but this was before we were even connected to the Internet, so everything was intracompany anyway. I think the servers might have had 200 megabytes on them, so yes, space was at a premium.

On Horrifying Incident Reveals Surprising Fact
I've been on the (Delta) flight from Atlanta to Paris. Flew 1st class even, although it probably would have been a better flight in coach since the bitch in the window seat had to keep getting up and down, even when everybody else was sleeping. My first trip out of the country, by myself, to freaking Paris, trying to catch a train to Switzerland, jetlagged to start with, and then having a shitty flight on top. I barely managed to make the last train to Basel, freaking my wife out who was expecting me there much earlier than that. I had picked up some German, but hadn't even learned enough French to do me shit, and hell, just about everyone in Switzerland spoke English!
