Take the Challenge!

Find a meadow, preferably one that's at least an acre in size. Not sure where to find one? Idle housing projects are a good place to look.

Look for something like this:













Once you've found your meadow, stand on the downwind edge. Take out the Ipod earbuds. Listen. Take a few deep breaths.

Next, find yourself a really big lawn. Completed housing projects are a good place to look. Stand on the downwind edge of your chosen lawn and repeat.

You tell me which spread is beautiful and alive, and which one is sterile monoculture.

Would You Pair Red or White With That?

When I was growing up, I remember seeing ads for my favorite jackals, Habush, Habush and Davis.

Later, the advertisements were for Habush, Habush, Davis and Rottier.

Later yet, the spots simply named Habush, Habush and Rottier - and so it stands today.

...

So, what happened to Davis?

Personally, I think Rottier ate him.

What are the Odds?

First, what are the odds of any single person being featured on an episode of Maury Povich?

On the other hand, given that a person was named after Maury Povich (hi Kamaury), what are the odds that their home life would lead them to be featured on an episode of Maury Povich?

At a certain point, some things become inevitable.
