I barbecued a bunch of venison sausage this evening for myself and the troops. Quite yummy, low fat and zero carb! We were quite pleased with Frank’s Red Hot as the only condiment. No sides…just sausage…a pure testosterone meal!

I guess I am worth something…
How completely odd…I guess I’m actually worth something to somebody. Unbeknownst to myself, yours truly has been on the market for a little over a month and a half. And, again unbeknownst to myself, I seem to have been doing quite well for myself! Go figure…would you like to buy a share?

Why did we get Geocities?
Clay Shirky has written a fascinating piece on social software. Here is a short excerpt that particularly amused me:
Why did we get Geocities and not weblogs? We didn’t know what we were doing. One was a bad idea, the other turns out to be a really good idea. It took a long time to figure out that people talking to one another, instead of simply uploading badly-scanned photos of their cats, would be a useful pattern.

I survived the Fourth…and the inlaws…
Another trip to the in-laws has been successfully penned into the history books! This time around everything went quite easily…Karen (Mom) and Jan (Dad) went out of their way to have lots of low carb goodies around the house! Not only did I have a steady supply of sugar free Jello but also diet sodas, lunchmeats, cheeses, veggies and other miscellanea. As a special treat, I also got pancakes yesterday morning made from Soy Flour! Not exactly the pinnacle of taste treats but still special nonetheless. Heavy cream and butter whipped up into a topping made for an extremely high calorie but low carb substitute for syrup.Diet Rite doesn’t suck…
So, it turns out that Diet Rite doesn’t entirely altogether suck! Years ago I tried regular RC Cola and, quite frankly, had a rather immediate distaste for it. Imagine flat Coke mixed with orange pumice soap…that was the unfortunate feeling that my teeth felt as they were eaten away and softened immediately by the putrid concoction. Well, not really, but that’s how it felt.
Anyway, I begrudgingly tried Diet Rite on the recommendation of my father in-law because a friend of the family recently went on Atkins and has been drinking the stuff religiously. Amazingly, I rather liked it and proceeded to spend the rest of the visit inhaling it nonstop. Better than Diet Coke, not quite as tasty as Waist Watchers.
Enter the Fourth…
The Fourth of July Eve and Fourth of July parties hosted by the aforementioned friend of the family, Dennis, were amazingly survivable due to the fact that he was on Atkins. The grill was running nonstop and had an infinite supply of venison, beef, chicken, hot dogs, salads, cheeses and dozens of low carb goodies to choose from! Not only did I manage to stuff myself all day to the point of being bloated but still ended up losing weight after my four day visit. Mind you, I didn’t lose much weight but I didn’t gain any either! I can’t imagine how much weight I could have packed on if I had cheated and started eating carbs…

Man charged after firing paintballs at house
This happened almost two years ago when we first moved into the house. I found the newspaper clipping kicking around so I figured I’d type it up for prosperity.
HAVERHILL — A 27-year-old man was charged with intimidating a witness yesterday after he fired paintballs at the home of a woman involved in a court case against him, police said.
Officers Ronald C. Hilchey and Michael Rogers found several splashes of orange paint on the side of the Union Street home and recovered the paintball gun from the alley off nearby Franklin Street, said Officer Lawrence R. Newman, who is filling in as the department’s spokesman.
Police arrested Shane Fisher, 70 Franklin St. Investigators said this is not the first time Mr. Fisher has caused problems fro the 43-year-old woman.
“This has been an ongoing case for a while, with damage and threads made against the victim,” Officer Newman said.
The incident happened about 1 a.m.

Tell us how you really feel…
One of the Webmasters for Carb Solutions felt inclined to share an email he received from a rather disappointed customer:

Subject: Carb Solutions Taste Sensations – Creamy Chocolate Peanut ButterDear Carb Solutions,
I’m trying to lose a few pounds and last night I tried your Carb Solutions Taste Sensations – Creamy Chocolate Peanut Butter (Serial Number: MC53097 BEST BY040704) for the first time. The bar was a substitute for my dinner because I was on the road.
I want you to know that I have discovered your secret formula for weight loss and I plan on stealing it. I too will make something so truly disgusting in taste that it makes the victim… err, uhhh… “dieter” not want to eat anything because they’re physically nauseous.
This morning I defecated an exact replica of the bar I ate last night. I plan on taking my feces and your bar to shopping malls and asking people to take a bite of each and see if they can tell the difference.
It is true that my butt won’t be able to produce as many “Taste Sensations” as your company can, but at over $2 a bar it will be a nice second income for me. Like your company, I will probably only be able to sell one bar to a customer before they decide never to buy from me again — so I’ll have to keep moving all of the time. They’ll probably make a movie about me.
Soon to be your competitor…
xxxxxxxx
