Al Gore didn’t invent the internets

But he DID reinvent food shortages!

I kinda missed talking about Soviet bread lines. Er…not.

    You meet the NICEST people in bread lines–why just last week I got this fantastic recipe for cat crap and potato peel soup from a former bag lady turned food network chef. A little water, potato peels and that all too familiar cat crap EVERYBODY has been raving about since the food shortage began.
    MMM MMM MMM–cooked over the leftover remains of the one candle we are allotted since PG&E went to all wind power and wow!! you have a tastee treat for the whole gawl-darned fambly! Silly you! you were thinking about turning those tater peels into hooch when all you really needed to do was drink your morning urine to whiten your teeth and get a uric buzz that lasts until that first bowl of cat crap soup.

    I guess I can recycle an old Cold War joke I heard back then:

    Looooong line to get into a food store in Moscow. Yuri says to Mikhail, “That’s it! I’m going to go kill Comrade Brezhnev!”

    Half hour later, Yuri’s back.

    “Back so soon? Did you kill Tovarish Brezhnev?”

    “No! THAT line is longer than THIS one!!”

    In all seriousness, has anyone ever considered cactus as a fuel crop? Fellow avid drinkers may know that agave, from which we get all our fine Tequila’s and Mescale’s (you’re an A+ drinker if you know Mescale), is a cactus. And, from everything I’ve read about it, the Agave is a fairly productive plant, you get a large amount of Tequila from one individual agave plant since you use a greater proportion of the plant than you would the corn stalk. The great thing about cactus is that it is not a food crop. I mean, you can eat prickly pear bulbs if you’re starving, but I wouldnt recommend it (you know how you eat popcorn and get a husk in your gums, then you spend an hour digging it out? Times 50 is about what it’s like trying to dig out a small cactus needle from your gums). So, using 100% of the crop won’t lead to bread lines. Furthermore, since the native habitats of many of the cactuses are the American southwest and northern Mexico, we would have a fuel supply coming from domestic and friendly sources as opposed to the middle east. As an added benefit, cactus biofuel production could create more economic opportunity for workers in northern Mexico, helping alleviate some of our illegal concerns. So, there’s a lot of potential benefits to consider, does anyone know of any research done in the matter?

    Sorta Blogless Sunday Pinup…

    Happy Sunday! Yet another fine day in America. The birds are singing, the bees are buzzing, the 2008 NFL Draft is a happening. This pinup is by Haddon Sunblom, with a wee bit of help. I reckon it is the first one by the painter I have featured. Beach …
