Prodigy – Always Outnumbered, Never Outgunned
Lately I’ve been on this mellow yuppie downtempo electronica kick that is my generation’s equivalent of easy listening. Stuff like Morcheeba, Zero 7, Thievery Corporation, etc. So I finally shocked some sense into me with the latest Prodigy offering. Yum!! Very brash and catchy. Only Prodigy can take riffs from Love Buzz (remember Nirvana’s Bleach?) and Michael’s Jackson’s Thriller and turn them into something new and interesting.

On Feb 6th, Kathryn, Iris, and I were headed towards Snowshoe for our little weekend ski trip. Near Covington, we exited I-64 and stopped in a Subway to get some sandwiches. While waiting in the car with Iris, I spotted something out of the corner of my eye painted on the side of a nearby train car. Several double-takes later, I took this picture:
Yes, it says “Do not hump”. Yes, I still have an immature brain, causing me to laugh like a 12-year old upon seeing this. And, yes, there is a good reason for such an obscure warning: (link)

An interesting poetic line from Josh:
“I have several crutches and they are all mine. Some are plated with gold and some are silken fine.”

octothorpe (noun): Another name for the telephone handset symbol #.
Apparantly, there are never enough words for things. Back in MY day, we would just grunt and scratch ourselves. And we LIKED it!

Finding Secular Humanism a tad too ego-centric, I had a look at SpiritualHumanism.org. There, you can “become an ordained member of the Spiritual Humanist clergy for FREE”. Strange that this is the very first thing on the page that you see – I guess this is the hook! Alas and alack, there are some significant powers a Spiritual Humanist clergymember simply does not enjoy, as mentioned in the FAQ on the site:
You are prohibited from performing ceremonies that involve exorcism, circumcision and animal sacrifice.
What, all at once?!? Damn!!! What a party that would be!
