So the Fire Nuns are almost starting to make money. Huge gig on the 24th opening for bands with record deals and shit. SoDak boys takin over Portland. Slowly. That’s my boy in the red singing. This video is like 40 minutes long, so tl;dw, but fuck it I’m a proud papa.
Big lizard in my backyard; can't afford to feed him anymore. Big lizard in my backyard; busting down my neighbor’s door.
So I’m sitting at the hiring kiosk, applying for a job, and a guy who was sweeping a ways off, swept up to me and said, “Full beards aren’t allowed, just so you know.”
“Oh, yeah?”
“If you get an interview, I’d recommend shaving. Goatees and moustaches are allowed, but not full beards.”
“But my beard is religious. If I shave, I’ll go to hell.”
“What religion is that?”
“I worship Odin, the One-eyed God.”
“Is that new?”
“New?”
“Yeah, did they just come up with it, like Scientology or Mormonism?”
“It’s older than Christianity.”
“I’m Presbyterian, myself.”
“You’re from Presbyteria?”
“No, that’s my religion. Who’s Odin?”
“He’s the One-eyed God. He lives in the suburbs of Oslo and we named Wednesday after him.”
He paused for a moment, wrinkling his forehead. “Well,” he admitted, “people can worship how they want, I guess.”
“Amen, brother.”
He swept away, a little sadly it seemed. Inside of a week, I was arranging apples into pyramids and trimming the brown shit off celery; fully bearded.

Boom.
Still gotta bridle it and possibly add a tail. Paint “BLOW ME” across it? Hmm.
Probably try and get it up tomorrow if there’s a breeze.
My garbage bags are too small.
Brb, garbage bag shopping and also grabbing a celebratory successful kite building 6-pack.
(If I fail, I will still drink it. It will be a solace providing kite building failure 6-pack.)

California judge faces recall try over rape sentence - CNN.com
Orange County, California, supervisors begin a campaign to recall a judge for his below-minimum sentence of a man who sodomized his 3-year-old half-sister.
This is an extreme case, but as a society we fail to punish murderers and rapists and pedophiles appropriately, often allowing them to walk the streets again one day, then turn around and pat ourselves on the back for being “enlightened”, when such terrible injustice and disregard for the victims is anything but.
