From the 2008-2009 New York State Senate Budget Report:
“The Senate rejects the Executive’s proposal to create a new tax on illegal drugs. ($13 million)”

If someone has figured out how to tax illegal substances, I, for one, would like to know this ingenious plan.

Also, “The Senate rejects the Executive’s proposal to increase the tax on flavored malt beverages. ($15 million)”

Close call! Mike’s Hard Lemonade prices would have skyrocketed and there goes my wine cooler weekends in NYC.

A comment posted by Daniel: “I couldn’t understand some parts of this article ‘07 Cooking Series: Get Your Hands Off My Tortilla, but I guess I just need to check some more resources regarding this, because it sounds interesting.”

Robots are so cool like that.

Please, check out August.

Dr. Beach’s coveted 2007 Top Ten Beaches doesn’t include any Great Lakes beaches. Apparently, Dr. Beach doesn’t even talk about them in his book about beaches. Dr. Beach? More like Dr. Bitch.

In the age of the Internet, it’s pretty easy to come up with a half-baked idea and sell it for millions of dollars. I like that. That’s why I’m now going to disclose (the obviously already patented and very much in production) two new mind blowing ideas for human-to-human communication across the internet.

The first was discovered while chatting on my chat box to Jessica. From now on, abbreviations for actions like Laughing Out Loud (ie. LOL) and Rolling on the Floor Laughing My Ass Off (ie. ROFLMAO) are only going to be spelled out in a phonetic fashion. This will have the effect of making them universally accessible as NEW WORDS! Isn’t that great! LAWL RAWFOLE!

The second is the changing of emoticons from character based icons to full descriptions. This was discovered by Ariana in email correspondence. She was expressing her sadness and ended her email with the sentences. “sad. unhappy clown face.” How much better is that than a dumb ? Unhappy Clown Face? So genius and way more accessible for Web 2.0 Patrons!

In other news, I go on-call for a week in a couple hours so no Urban Golf Tourny for me. Unhappy Clown Face. BEBEAYEAYBE.

Oh boy! Anyone want to get an 8 person golf/drink team together for next Saturday’s Urban Golf Tournament/Bar Crawl in Georgetown? I will be amassing a force of drunken urban golfers this week.

I am moved, absolutely moved to tell you about the greatest musical adaptation of the past ten years. I nearly pooped my pants when I saw the TV ad for Edward Scissorhands The Musical coming to Seattle. There’s not much better than a genre that follows its parodies pretty much in lockstep. I don’t know any other way to describe it other than crumbelievable.
