nattering pettifoggery and raw linksmanship

Every Musician’s Nightmare: a year lost to tendinitis. Also, MSNBC can’t spell “tendinitis”. Oh, I guess that’s an alternate spelling. NOT WHEN I WAS DOING MEDICAL EDITING, IT WASN’T!

Honda made a business jet and claim it’s 40% more efficient than others in its class.

Odds and Ends

  • Tonight at the table there was a pause in the conversation, and berg74 suddenly turned to the two twenty-something Newport party guys sitting there and said “So. You ever been in a car with a nun?”
  • I recommend guruphiliac if you like weird stories about cults and their leaders. It syndicates http://guruphiliac.blogspot.com/ .
  • A quicktime video of a classic Aston Martin DBR1 doing the hillclimb at Goodwood is here.
  • Here’s how to lose five pounds in a hurry. First, take an amphetamine ADD drug, so that you have to remember to eat because you’re rarely hungry. Then, have an unexplained middle ear paroxysm that causes you to hang out of your car window barfing like crazy for hours before you’re taken to the hospital by emergency ambulance for rehydration and antinausea drugs. Finally, have your doctor prescribe you a diuretic for the ear problem and your high blood pressure, so that you pee out gallons of retained water the first day. Presto! Five pounds gone. Next week I’ll demonstrate how to build muscle tone by getting stranded in the desert and killing mountain lions for food to survive.
  • Now you can get porno brand rims in up to 24″ sizes for your big, stupid vehicle. No, I’m not kidding, sorry. (Links not necessarily safe for work, may trip nudie-alarm of web filters.)
  • Here is a short film advertising beer, which happens to be in the style of early Buñuel films.
