Roast Beef is Everywhere

Two of my new favorite things involve Roast Beef.

• Achewood is now one of my favorite webcomics. It mostly stars cats and stuffed animals, but that doesn't prevent it from being chock full o' booze, horrible behavior, and occasionally Airwolf.
  
  My favorite character is named Roast Beef. Roast Beef is an awesome cat who is a total security hacker and codes java like mad and is a really good friend even if he doesn't know it because he is depressed all the time. Marvellous.


• Then there's Wizard People, Dear Reader. It's by Brad Neely, who did the completely awesome George Washington video. WPDR is an alternate ... wait, I'm not going to explain it. Just go watch and remember that Dudley = Roast Beef in this video. Hilarious.
  

My International Sunday

At a little restaurant called the Prague Café, I talked to a girl. The girl was from Wales, the waiter was from eastern Europe, and the music was Swedish. It was Abba-Swedish, it was looping, and it was LOUD.

Does this make me cosmopolitan and well-rounded and stuff? I mean I exposed myself to lots of different cultures, but so far my chief benefit has been learning the words to Waterloo by heart.

Regionalisms

Today I was on the phone with two people, one from the Pacific Northwest and one from Ohio.

The one from Ohio pronounced pen 'pin' and the one from Washington pronounced pin 'pen'.

My head doth spin.

Seismic Veteran = Me

Tonight my apartment bounced up and down.

I guess I'm a citizen of California now.

Public Service Announcement

Let it be hereby known, by Imperial Edict set forth by me this day, that an appropriately named monkey shall never be called "Steve".

Thank you for your attention; now let us never speak of this again.
