Ironic or appropriate that Lame and Lamé are spelled so much alike?

Say “Angels” & I Think of George Carlin

lame — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 19:27:33 +0000

The Christmas emails from merchants are already rolling in fast and strong. One just in from JCPenney has the subject: “We Believe In Angels!”

Here’s a fabulously funny bit from the comic George Carlin about angels:

“Here’s another question I’ve been pondering – what is all this sh** about angels? Have you heard this? Three out of four people belive in angels. Are you f***ing stupid? Has everybody lost their mind? You know what I think it is? I think it’s a massive, collective, psychotic chemical flashback for all the drugs smoked, swallowed, shot, and obsorbed rectally by all Americans from 1960 to 1990. Thirty years of street drugs will get you some f***ing angels, my friend!”

No more Raffi for my pre-school son. He has a new groove! Here is his newest favorite song. I recently found a radio station that plays the “greatest hits of the 60s and 70s.” Have yet to hear a commercial on it.

When Fish Fly

Pike Place Fish is a major tourist attraction in Seattle. Fishmongers skillfully toss a purchased fish from the front display to the back side of the counter. Crowds gather and cheer. It’s quite a show and is often on TV for local interest on national broadcasts of a major sports events.

According to the Seattle Times, these fish-tossers are scheduled to make a presentation at an upcoming convention of veterinarians. Enter PETA, the animal rights people. From their letter to the vets:

You should know that people who care about animals are appalled that a veterinary organization, whose purpose is to represent the interests of those whose jobs involve protecting the well-being of animals would promote an event in which animals are treated so disrespectfully and are handled as if they were toys.

These fish are dead. Gutted. Cleaned. About to be fileted and wrapped up to be taken home and pan seared or grilled. I love salmon, especially with a nice Oregon Pinot Noir.

There is even a business book from these fish mongers called When Fish Fly: Lessons For Creating a Vital and Energized Workplace From the World Famous Pike Place Fish Market.
