turkey roasts, bad physicists, evil coats, and clip art
Apparently things are getting a little out of hand at grocery stores already because my husband was accidentally sent home with a turkey breast roast instead of turkey filets. When I went to dismember the roast into filets, I learned that the net holding the roast together had elastic in it. Maybe it's just because I'm chemically sensitive, but 'turkey roasted to perfection wrapped in baked elastic' sounds like a lousy menu item to me.
In other news, there's another gay conservative Christian pastor in Colorado who I hadn't heard of in this article, and in our newer and far more unfortunate category, in that it involves actual crime, there's another physicist with an unhealthy attraction to children. This guy had the biggest collection of kiddie porn ever seen in the UK. He's an astrophysicist, but all the astrophysicists I knew got out of academia, so they probably haven't met him at a conference.
I also learned that men's jackets with fur trim around the hood are called snorkel jackets, and that lately some of the 'faux' fur has been coming from Chinese raccoon dogs, which are raised for their raccoon-patterned fur, not their doggie personalities. In trying to find a picture, I clicked on the first link Google supplied for 'raccoon dog,' and I learned that the Humane Society was not kidding when they said these dogs are not humanely killed. I didn't need to learn that today.
Now I have to wash out part of my brain, so I'm going to do that by making snarky comments related to clip art images I found on
.
It's the dove from Noah's Ark! It says on Wikipedia that when God was done drowning all the bad people, he sent the dove to signal the end of his war on bad people, so that's why it's a peace symbol. This is an approach to Peace on Earth that I hope does not occur to my government.
Everyone knows that a halo marks people/things who were good when they were alive, so somewhere out there, some kid is mourning a dead teddy bear.
A huge, inflatable version of this guy parked next to a saguaro in front of a gas station when it's 70 degrees out does not evoke any sort of holiday spirit in non-native Tucsonans. It makes them laugh, and I'm sorry I don't have a picture.
Ok, I feel better now.
