Is it just me, or is Straight Edge making some sort of comeback?
Marisa’s calendar check seems appropriate.

Just because you’re not smooth enough to get a lady to buy you a drink on ladies’ night doesn’t mean you have to ruin it for the rest of us.
(Those of you who know me well can stop laughing now. Seriously.)
Holy crap… This makes me sick to my stomach:
‘Stealth racism’ stalks deep South
It all began at Jena High School last summer when a black student, Kenneth Purvis, asked the school’s principal whether he was permitted to sit under the shade of the school courtyard tree, a place traditionally reserved for white students only. He was told he could sit where he liked.
The following morning, when the students arrived at school, they found three nooses dangling from the tree.

Fucking fantastic to hear the legacies of the likes of David Duke are alive and well in Louisiana, eh? Makes me wonder what’s going on in Mississippi and Alabama that we don’t hear about.
Strange but True: Antibacterial Products May Do More Harm Than Good
Unlike these traditional cleaners, antibacterial products leave surface residues, creating conditions that may foster the development of resistant bacteria, Levy notes. For example, after spraying and wiping an antibacterial cleaner over a kitchen counter, active chemicals linger behind and continue to kill bacteria, but not necessarily all of them.
I friggin’ told you so!

I just got an email about not buying gas on May 15th to really sock it to the gas companies and force them to lower prices.
It’s hogwash, folks.
And for the record, we’re still not in any danger of catching up to fuel prices in Europe.
This past Saturday, I had the pleasure of taking in the Ring of Fire 29: Aftershock mixed martial arts fighting event at the Broomfield Events Center. As I mentioned before, this followed after taking my company founder (I’m not supposed to treat him like “the boss”…) out to roller derby last month. As it turns out, his wife is friends with the wife of the local fighter who was the main event of the night. This fact would turn out add both interest and stress to the night for her.
I don’t have the wherewithal to run down all of my observations from the night, but the fights leading up to the two big fights were enjoyable. The results are available for those who care. A few highlights:
- There was one premature stoppage. Dude got clocked but was defending himself “intelligently” by the time he landed on his back.
- One of the referees looked like The Wife’s brother in a couple decades. No worries, he was a handsome devil.
- The crowd was… Wow. Now that I think about it, it should have been what I expected.
Which brings me to the two big fights of the night, both in the 205lb weight class.
