I came up with the following law after many,  many mano-a-mano bouts with formatting software.

Printers Are Evil

All it did was work all the time

Well they are. Somehow, a while back, they achieved consciousness and developed an instant and ferocious hatred of us.

Today’s onslaught of printer malevolence: Taking one hour to print one page.

Time to bring back the 1941 Royal typewriter.

What I Did and Didn’t Do Today

My quarterback stunt double

I went to physical therapy today to get the muscles in my lower back and legs stretched. Indeed, I am making progress despite spectacular fall in the kitchen last night.

My tight muscles, tendons, thingies are, no doubt, I did not start as quarterback for ANY NFL team last weekend. And my prospects for playing this weekend are fading rapidly.

But I shall perservere. Soon you will, Paul “TD Man” De Lancey leading a lucky team to the Super Bowl. Go, Paul, go!

Start for Possible New Novel

HARALD THE AXE MURDERER
­
Harald, the axe murderer, harbored a dark secret. No, it wasn’t that he was an introvert, although he did find the world a little peoply. However Harald, being a rather focused and proactive sort did all he could to bring that annoyance to manageable proportions.
­
No, I don’t yet know his dark secret. I only learned of his existence about a half hour ago while making pasta for dinner. I can tell you, though, that I used penne pasta, Italian seasoning, garlic-pepper salt, Fontina cheese, Roma tomatoes, and onion.
­
Perhaps I will eventually tell you about the workings of Harald’s mind in similar detail. But as of now, no. We’ve just met and we haven’t learned to trust each other. Also, he wields an axe expertly and I can place a fire breathing dragon in the bathroom when he gets up at 3 am to pee.
­
And now, on to his adventures, we don’t want to keep him waiting.

The Great Pennant Race We’re Not Having

As it stands, the American League essentially plays 1,215 games to determine the SIXTH best team. The top four teams remain virtually certain of making the playoffs. A good number of ball clubs are not likely to gain a playoff berth. With 6 – to – 10 teams not battling for the three wild-card spots fans really won’t care in what position their favorites finish. It didn’t use to be that way, sixth place was clearly better than seventh or eighth.

But maybe the current six-team play off format is yielding tons of tons of excitement.

No. Boston, the seventh best squad is 3.5 games out of the last playoff spot.

However, if the top teams in the league were to be in a single division, only-the-best-club goes to the World Series system we’d a truly crackerjack pennant race.

I would sit by my phone waiting for the American League to call me on this, but alas I don’t think they will.

But please look at the following comparison:

Cantaloupe Smoothie

American Dessert

­

CANTALOUPE SMOOTHIE

­
INGREDIENTS
­
4 cups cantaloupe, cubed
2 bananas
1 tablespoon honey
2 cups milk
2 cups plain yogurt or vanilla yogurt
­
SPECIALTY APPLIANCE
­
blender
­
PREPARATION
­
Put all ingredients in blender. Blend at “smoothie” setting for about 30 seconds or until thoroughly blended. Woo hoo, tasty and simple.
­
TIDBITS
­
1) Cantaloupe is an anagram for “toucan, leap.” Count Dracula is based on Vlad the Impala. No, only one those two assertions isn’t right. Vlad ruled Wallachia off and on from 1448 to 1476.
­
2) Impala is a car. The first Impala was built in 1958. So it isn’t possible for Vlad to have driven an Impala. Still, the commercial tie ins are obvious.
­­
3) Or maybe not. Vlad was really Vlad the Impaler. He got that title from impaling his enemies on long, pointy poles. The best slogan incorporating this fact would be, “Drive an Impala. People will fear you and get out of your way.” Meh. Still it makes you think. Why was Vlad so crabby?.
­
4) Culinary historians believed nothing would make Vlad happier than seeing toucans leap. He’d say, “Leap, amazing toucan, leap.”
­
5) How did Vlad get his leaping toucans? Why, from the famous Central and-South America to Wallachia Leaping Toucan for Pointy Pole Trade Route.
­
6) The Ottoman Turks controlled part of this path. This would have been okay, but one day Vlad and the Ottoman sultan accused each other of cheating at Parcheesia(tm). Words were said and soon the sultan blocked all Toucan/pointy pole trade. The two Parcheesi players went to war. Vlad died.
­
7) However, the anagram-and-smoothie loving, Sultan honored his foe’s courage with the cantaloupe smoothie. Now you know.

Weight Loss Through Anti-Fat Matter

welcomes scientific advancement

The universe is composed of matter and  anti-matter. When anti-matter contacts matter, matter disappears.

It stands to reason that our universe (Three cheers for it, hurray, hurray, hurray) is also made up of fat matter and anti-fat matter. Then when anti-fat matter collides with fat matter, fat disappears. All we need to do is find anti-fat matter. I applaud this search.

Such instantaneous disappearance of fat would be much preferable to dreary, difficult diets.
