My fellow sides of beef:

Bitter Old Punk - Slinging the liquor to all who will tip, and even some who won't, because corporate policy demands it.
Boobs, Injuries, and Dr. Pepper - Southern Haha. Oh, like it matters. Look -- boobs!
Cadet Spiff's Deep Space Log - Richard, you ignorant slut. You know how I know you're a nerd?...
Clublife - I sometimes work as a bouncer. I'll bet this guy could kick my ass, too.
Defective Yeti - Seattle's not such a bad place after all. Maybe the rain makes you funny.
Devin Townsend - Go. Listen. Learn to love. Stop asking so many damned questions.
Dooce - The fairy godmother of the blog world.
Falling Sky - It's Jon, my favorite British person. There's real flavor here.
Jason Mulgrew - It never fails: I'm having a bipolar day, and someone bipolar makes me laugh. Fucker.
Monalicious - Boston will never seem cold to me as long as this woman's there.
Pretty Helmet - Elizabeth in the Ham
Something Positive - One of the best cartoons ever. Funny, mean, and touching, usually within a single word.
The Broken English - Highly recommended in the fight against chlamydia. Not for children over three foot eight, or lactating women.
The Sneeze - Home of 'Steve, Don't Eat It!' Enough said.
Wade on Birmingham - Someday, Wade will be under Birmingham. Or over it.
Wade un Birmingham - Non-Birmingham, presumably non-American Idol, non-boring, non-badly written
Waiting with Bated Breath - Not just for kids, Trix tastes great and is less filling.
Warren Ellis - Writer of stuff. Crotchety. Smokes a lot, so we like him.

TODAY'S DEEP THOUGHT:

I'd like to be buried Indian-style, where they put you up on a high rack, above the ground. That way, you could get hit by meteorites and not even feel it.

The little things can be so important

5 April 2006 | This is Beauty and Beast

There is truly nothing better in this world than seeing the sincere appreciation on the face of someone to whom you’ve given a gift — nothing big, nothing expensive, nothing more than the culmination of paying attention to what they like and a little effort on my part. But it’s a rare occasion when someone is thankful for such things — no matter how small or big — and it’s a very nice feeling. A gift in and of itself, in fact. I don’t think you should live to make other people happy, but there’s a genuine heartswell when something I’ve done for someone makes them smile.

There’s polite, and then there’s sincere. If more people were the latter, maybe the world would be a better place. Definitely would be for me, at least. It is tonight.
