I love The Zipper.

My Indian UK husband would never go with me to a Fair or Carnival or Amusement Park.

He told me he couldn't find his food.

Fuckin Vegan.

But when I bitch to him about it he tells me "it only has to be healthy and vegan"-give me a fucking break. Good luck finding that at almost any restaurant let alone a fair.

It's hard people, I tell ya, it's hard being married to a vege.; 7/24/11, 10:36 PM

No. Can you picture us on those rides? Those things are for young people.; 7/24/11, 10:49 PM

This is comforting.

After reading that Althouse watched a movie w/ a bunch of old folks, I thought that maybe she believed that she was not also and old person, hence the need to ID the oldies.

But, now I know that she was just noting that the theater was full of folks just like Meadehouse, aka golden folks.; 7/24/11, 10:59 PM
Paul said...: Man I can't stand that music. It has been aptly described as sounding like polkas played on stolen instruments.; 7/24/11, 11:15 PM
Sprezzatura said...: BTW, I just read Meade's comments about the rock in Althouse's photo, from a while back.

Is that stuff also called "quartzite?" Not to be confused w/ "quartz," which is man made junk.

This is exactly what Meadehouse needs to replace the Corian in the kitchen! Quartzite is gorgeous, w/ colors and looks that are often associated w/ soft or porous stones that lack durability. This stuff looks much better than normal granite (which is also lame because it's so common now).

I've used the stuff so I can assure you that it is the perfect kitchen counter. [Well it's not exactly perfect on its own. I like to add wood counters as an accent for some parts of the kitchen. I've used different combinations of wood, but I think that 8/4 figured Bubinga (sp?) w/ a wrapped border and an ebony inlay is my favorite.]

P.S.

Imagine the pizza that could be made by rolling dough on a quartzite counter top.

P.P.S.

Maybe Meadehouse can melt down the old Corian counters so that they can make a plastic two person kayak. Waste not, want not.; 7/24/11, 11:19 PM

MaggotAtBroad&Wall said...: The hogs who have been feeding at the welfare state/public trough are amazingly secure in their surroundings. They are so comfy in their false sense of security that the people who provide that security will eventualluy turn them into bacon.

I doubt there's any kind of politicial lesson to be learned here.; 7/25/11, 12:32 AM

Shades of Thanksgiving 2005: See "Why on earth would I do that? I'm not 7."

What can I say? Things remind me of other things.; 7/25/11, 2:18 AM

edutcher said...: Meadhouse goes to the fair and Ann analyzes the animals.

You love it, right?

No. Can you picture us on those rides? Those things are for young people.

That, unfortunately, would not stop The Blonde.

She's my own Peter Pan.

There's a lot of kamikaze in that kid.

PS PB&J makes a big deal over the fact Ann says the rides are for kids. Apparently, being mature yet young at heart is alien to him.

A Leftist malady.; 7/25/11, 6:43 AM
KCFleming said...: Pigs look like people on the inside, too.

We use their heart valves to replace worn out human ones.; 7/25/11, 7:26 AM
madAsHell said...: Wow!

You have much more diversity than I would have guessed.; 7/25/11, 8:55 AM
Titus said...: Rides are not just for young people.

Anyone should and can go on rides.

Aren't we all "young at heart"?; 7/25/11, 8:57 AM
Titus said...: I have not seen that much diversity in Madison.

Interesting.

Build a carnival and they will come.; 7/25/11, 8:58 AM

LOL. Thanks for remembering. The time I kicked Jeff Goldstein's ass.... Those were the days!; 7/25/11, 9:06 AM
Ann Althouse said...: Pajamas Media was so amateur in the inception. They'd come over and personally attack me for making fun of some little thing. Or call me up, pressure me, then hang up on me when I wasn't cowed.; 7/25/11, 9:07 AM
Ann Althouse said...: "Aren't we all "young at heart"?"

My heart is fortunately not a problem. I'm more concerned about my cervical vertebrae.

And I don't find machine-inflicted thrills compelling.; 7/25/11, 9:09 AM

Count yourself lucky on the heart thing.

Hope your vertebrae aren't giving you trouble.

And I don't find machine-inflicted thrills compelling.

No, I won't...; 7/25/11, 9:39 AM
Ann Althouse said...: "Hope your vertebrae aren't giving you trouble."

No, but it's obvious that getting jerked around on a ride like that isn't a good idea.; 7/25/11, 11:03 AM
