Speaking of portions, I got on the scale yesterday. I'm the heaviest I've ever been in my life. Sigh. I've held off buying new pants on the overly optimistic hope that I'd go down in waste size.

Eat less and yo uwill not only go down in waste size, but also waist size!
In the desert I saw a creature, naked, bestial, Who, squatting upon the ground, Held his heart in his hands, And ate of it. I said: "Is it good, friend?" "It is bitter-bitter," he answered; "But I like it Because it is bitter, And because it is my heart.

My favorite excerpt:
[2011] was a year where Madison teachers showed parents how much they valued their kids by walking out on them for a four-day sickout. Some teachers even brought their pupils down to the Capitol to help them protest. When a group of Madison East high school students were asked why they were marching on the statehouse during a school day, one young man said he was "trying to stop whatever this dude is doing."
Yes, and brought Wisconsinites their God-given rights to collective bargaining. 24 other states and the federal govt. employees are apparently still waiting for God to visit.

edutcher, you're a genius. I opened a box at Christmas that mostly contained packing peanuts. They were water-soluble, so rather than throwing them in the trash the kids had fun watching them disintegrate in the tub. But just think if they were edible! And tasted good! There's a fortune to be made there.
Someone is "re-imaging" Jungle Book with a female lead. I believe it's being done in graphic novel format with the nubile young lady drawn in, you guessed it, mondo boobage/hips style. The fanboy rage is palpable. I mention it only to provide context for what I consider to be the quote of the day for all the blog comments I've read.

Stephen Stills: Hey, man, question: I always wondered, how does not eating dairy products give you psychic powers? Todd Ingram: [rolls eyes.] Okay, you know how you only use ten percent of your brain? That's because the other 90 percent is filled with curds and whey. Kim Pine: [dismissive.] Did you learn that at vegan academy? Todd Ingram: Go ahead and get snippy, baby, but if you knew the science, maybe I'd listen to a word you're saying.
Happy birthday, Freeman. I guess I can't recommend that you get thoroughly drunk, given your current condition, but do try to have fun however you can, waddling about like you probably are. (Those last couple of weeks were hard on my wife.)
Cake is probably your best bet. Lots of cake. And ice cream.
caplight 45, we have 7 grandkids 4 and under, so i know what your house looks like right now. And sounds like. And smells like. And how many trips you've made to the grocery store. And how if you don't smoke now, by the end of the week you will want to start. And how much you love them all, but how much you will soon desperately want them to go home. :-)
Oh, Marylynn, have you been reading my mind or what! I'm sitting here trying to remember where I stashed the left-over narcotics from my broken shoulder.

What's that? A single cheese curd? That's just sad.
Eating your heart is unsatisfying, add to the plate.
Are we supposed to bite at our screens like that frog?
It's the $65 deep-fried cheesy truffle appetizer.
Interesting opinion piece by Christian Schneider in this week's Isthmus. Can't link to it (yet?), however.
The purity and simplicity..
I hear you can use those as packing material.
Today is my birthday. I plan to eat more than that.
Happy Birthday Freeman!!!!!
I hope you have a most excellent day.
An interesting job opportunity.
Thanks, MadisonMan! Will do.
David Archuleta turned 21 yesterday.
An interesting job opportunity.
Wheelchair engineer for Stephen Hawking seems like rich territory for practical jokes. I wonder what Hawking's sense of humor is like.
Happy b-day Freeman! Hopefully you'll get plenty of cake and/or spankings...
Happy Birthday Freeman! Do you have plans? Nice to see that you were born in time for your parents to have the tax deduction.
We have five grandchildren in our house between the ages of 1 and 3.5. All week!
I'll bet you overpaid...
Happy birthday Freeman. Another Capricorn!!
My birthday is an epiphany.
:-D
Happy birthday to Freeman!

Sorry, couldn't resist.
Happy Birthday Freeman.
Happy birthday. I just ate something called "farm cake" at Aldo's Cafe.
Everybody needs more than that to get by.
Jesus.
"Happy birthday. I just ate something called "farm cake" at Aldo's Cafe."
I had one small bite.
Happy Birthday Freeman!
I've absolutely nothing clever to say.
Happy Birthday Freeman. I hope your cake puts farm cake to shame.
In the desert
I saw a creature, naked, bestial,
Who, squatting upon the ground,
Held his heart in his hands,
And ate of it.
I said: "Is it good, friend?"
"It is bitter-bitter," he answered;
"But I like it
Because it is bitter,
And because it is my heart.

Happy Birthday Ms. Hunt. Am I correct that you also have a baby arriving in the near future? Hope that goes beautifully as well.
I liked the part about God arriving in Wisconsin in 1959.
Yes, and brought Wisconsinites their God-given rights to collective bargaining. 24 other states and the federal govt. employees are apparently still waiting for God to visit.

Curious George, there's gotta be some Freudian slip in there somewhere.

caplight, that is nuts. In a good way, but still nuts. Do you have a roomful of little baby hammocks or something?

Thank you all for the happy birthday wishes. Yes, I do have plans, and I am very much looking forward to non-farm cake. What is farm cake?
And yes, baby to arrive in two or three weeks.
Happy birthday, Freeman, and happy soon-to-be-birthday.
Cut the curds...or in this case the curd.

I'm betting this overshadows any thoughts of birthday-ness. Happy B-day and pre-emptive congrats on the rugrat.
ScottM, I find your new avatar strangely compelling.
And I don't mean that in a somewhat dirty way; I mean that in the most twisted, offensive, fiendishly vile way that you can imagine.
wv: ambeariz. That's sort of spooky, "bear" in the wv word. I wonder how much of this wv stuff is confirmation bias.
I mean that in the most twisted, offensive, fiendishly vile way that you can imagine.
Coming from someone with your avatar, I consider that high praise indeed.

Here
Farm cake was dark chocolate cake with some cheesecake cooked into it on top.
Like the cheesecake took the place of icing.
It was nice.
Happy Birthday, Freeman Hunt!
CG -- thanks. I'll be interested to see the letters to the Editor next week.
gwa ga biddy dit blsh gurg nimmynanna!
Your grandkids are gonna love texting with you, and I mean that. If texting is still the norm in 5-10 years.
Better late than never here - Happy happy birthday Freeman. And congrats on the soon to be new arrival!
