Had Harpo over for a barbecue. He brought the weenies
and I toasted the buns. I swear, the guy looks and sounds more like George
Bush with each passing day. It's only a matter of time until Hair Steve
starts blathering on about weapons of mass destruction. Today's latest
Americana sound bite and hot button topic was Kyoto. Steve (who's not
a scientist but plays one on TV) said he really doubts the empirical evidence
that the buildup of greenhouse gases is leading to potentially cataclysmic
changes in the earth's atmosphere. His explanation? "The weather
is getting hotter because I ordered it to. And the atmosphere does what
I say." I made a joke about most of the world's noxious fumes coming
out of his mouth, but he was too busy pouring charcoal onto the gas barbecue
to hear it.

Paul called for another "practice round" for the great debate.
Today's subject: Which is better - Captain Crunch or Frosted Flakes? Paul
is clearly a flake man and gave a pretty convincing argument on the cereal's
merits. "First off, Frosted Flakes are Grrrreat! Plus, they have
flakes that are frosted. And that Tiger is way more recognizable than
the Captain. Oh, and once I cut the roof of my mouth eating Captain Crunch,
and it really hurt. There was like a piece of flesh dangling from the
roof of my mouth for a couple of weeks. Yes, Frosted Flakes are this country's
future."
Dumbfounded, I decided to let him have this one. He giggled like a schoolgirl
and then confessed that if truth be told, he was "more of a Count
Chocula man"

I see there's a sequel to the "Where's Waldo?" game. It's called
"Where's Jack?" Let me know if you see him around.
