I brought an amazing beef burger on Friday night.


beef burger is like Irish Catholic, yes there are some that are Irish that are not Catholic, but since so many are, it would be redundant to say
The world is charged with the grandeur of God.
    It will flame out, like shining from shook foil;
    It gathers to a greatness, like the ooze of oil
Crushed. Why do men then now not reck his rod?
Generations have trod, have trod, have trod;
    And all is seared with trade; bleared, smeared with toil;
    And wears man's smudge and shares man's smell: the soil
Is bare now, nor can foot feel, being shod.

And for all this, nature is never spent;
    There lives the dearest freshness deep down things;
And though the last lights off the black West went
    Oh, morning, at the brown brink eastward, springs —
Because the Holy Ghost over the bent
    World broods with warm breast and with ah! bright wings.

The Harlequin King

I traded in a bunch of odds and ends at a used video game store and, with a surprising amount of store credit for the trade-ins, got a board game (RISK: StarCraft Edition), Heavy Rain Director's Cut for the Playstation 3, and a Jade Empire strategy guide. Then I went to an organic farmer's market and got two loaves of pretzel bread, a chocolate cupcake, and curry.

Where along the way did you pick up the pipe? Or did you bring it with you? Is that a "Boondocks" tee-shirt?

I found it collecting dust in my friend's car on the way out. And yes, the shirt is from The Boondocks, my favorite "adult" cartoon show. I got it as a gift the same day.

Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner.

Take any post I write with a grain of salt. I've been wrong before, and can be again

That's amazing. I've wanted one of those deluxe sets for a good while now.

Hi H. King,
I did not know they even existed.  It makes a huge difference in enjoying the game.  The bargain aspect was a thrill, also.
