Weekly Roundup

Here some stories of interest from blogs around the world to provide you with a little weekend reading:

Big Hominid found my picture of vomit very satisfying. As I told him in my email, I saw a puddle of pink, ramen-filled projectile vomit and thought of him. At least it didn’t get on my bike. (don’t actually click unless you enjoy pictures of puke).

Californian Sojourn: offers his comments on liberals and other such types who cannot accept that Pat Tillman and tens of of thousands of others like him could actually want to serve their country for the simple reason that they want to give a little bit back to their country.

Cathartidae: Gets a double mention today. First, I believe the poor, misguided liberal is becoming more and more conservative everyday, as can be seen in this very un-liberal-like post about the stupidity and wrongness of South Korean sending aid to the North Korean train disaster victims. Also, he draws attention to the recent blog activity of “page 23, sentence 5″, which instructs you to “Grab the nearest book, turn to page 23, find the 5th sentence. Post the entire text of it, either here, or in your own blog. Add these instructions.” My nearest book is Richard Feynman’s “What Do YOU Care What Other People Think?” Sentence 5 of Page 23 reads, “You can see the condition I was in by my first words to her, which were an honest question: ‘How does it feel to be so popular?’”

Flying Yangban: has numerous posts about the North Korean Train explosion.

Kamelianxrays: gives us a nice summary of the weakness, cowardice, and stupidity of the Korean government in its dealings with North Korea. My comments were summed up a while ago in this post about giving aid and comfort to the enemy.

Kimchi GI: passes along the military’s request for ski resorts to return their borrowed Howitzers.

Marmot: has an amusing (morbidly so) story about North Koreans dieing while trying to save pictures of their alien overlords after the train accident.

Seeing Eye Blog has a nice snippet on media bias.

Oranckay: comments on US stars marrying Koreans and people of Korean descent. However, there is no mention of Red Foxx having also been married to a young Korean woman at the time of his death.

Brainy Smurf: is pulling the plug on his blog….OUT!

About Joel: I really need to get around to adding this fellow Utahn to my blog list. Consistently good stuff…in spite of having attended Weber State.

Thanks for the shout-out. You and your vomit pic have made the blogospheric rounds. Woojay has written two (count ‘em) vomit entries on his blog. Obviously, the pic brings up– uh, I mean it brings BACK– memories for some folks.

May thy gorge and the American economy be forever on the rise.

Joel,

Well, you know how it is. Not everyone can have the honor, respect, and dignity that brings the world to their knees in groveling subservience upon finding out that you are a graduate of that bastion of higher learning that gives you the title of Utah State Aggie. HA.

page 23, sentence 5 of “Antitrust Law, Policy and Procdure,” 4th ed.: Statutes were enacted against such conduct in the commodities, grain, and food markets beginning in the thirteenth century.

Whee. :)

Oh NO, you’re an AGGIE?!? GAAAAAA…

I have the honor of being a Coute. Yes, a BYU/Utah grad.

Next, Red Foxx was married to a Korean?!? I had no idea.

Coute… contradicting ideologies come together to create offspring that sounds somewhere between cute and coyote. I think I’d almost rather be an Aggie. Just kidding.

Wildcat for life! (but only if someone asks… I don’t volunteer that kind of information.)

You’ve sent a lot of people to my blog over time through your sidebar link — thanks! My blog, Japan Window, is currently a finalist in the Weblog Awards as “Best Photo Blog.” I think Marmot’s Hole is also a finalist in the “Asian Blog” category (which is being dominated by a couple of heavyweights “Xiaxue” and “MrBrown”). If you’re up for throwing up links to the awards your support would be appreciated. Here are the links to vote:
