That's the coolest story I've ever heard in my life! Can you tell it again, do you have time?

Totally shot-gunned this idea. Spike seals deal for show on Navy pirate hunter.  I am oddly fascinated by these scoundrels. And there really isn’t anything more overstuffed with ego and testosterone than a Navy Seal. Rightfully so, since they drown you before you are in the club. What has Disney led me to believe all these years!

Andy does have a birthday coming up.

Eyemuffs Taff. While I was away I packed a lovely book, One Fifth Avenue. Because you need 1/5 of anything strong to get through it. Andy kept barking at me to pack Anthony Bourdain's Kitchen Confidential. I succumbed. Well a fewer brain cells into One Fifth I thought I'd skim Bourdain's book. I knew him from his pompous guest appearances on Top Chef and his gritty repertoire on No Reservations. You sitting down Mikey? Not only could I not put it down, but I was seriously bummed to finish it! Gasp, awe! An autobiography about something besides shopping or celebs and I actually enjoyed it.

Kitchen Confidential - Chef at New York's Les Halles and author of Bone in the Throat, Bourdain pulls no punches in this memoir of his years in the restaurant business. His fast-lane personality and glee in recounting sophomoric kitchen pranks might be unbearable were it not for two things: Bourdain is as unsparingly acerbic with himself as he is with others, and he exhibits a sincere and profound love of good food.

Bourdain's humorous cynicism and rhetoric made me want to read more of his works. Oh ladies, it's about to get worse. I don't know if I'll be able to look Candace Bushnell in the face, or read her books again. I am picking up...dignity taking moment in 3, 2...Lord of the Rings. 

In other news Meatloaf chewed through his harness while we were gone and his backend is serious. We have a LOT of running coming up.  

Mikey Likes It – Here comes Peter Cottontail, drinking down the bunny trail. Hiccupy hoppity the police are on their way. Beaster Eer Hegg Eunt  Mikey’s Easter Beer Egg Hunt looks like drunks of fun! Oh wait, I don’t think there were eggs involved. Just a good ol’ Beer Hunt.  That smile sure does look like Christmas morning.

So, all the eggs had numbers in them (over 250) which corresponded to all the different beers in the coolers, which had numbers on the caps. Great variety. 

The Universal Record Database if full of stupid goodies. Like, the world’s most expensive cupcake omnomnom. Jonathan Mervis made a vanilla cupcake appraised at $30,000, a new world record. He topped it with a large Asscher diamond surrounded by eight round diamonds. Pfft. Nobody does it cheap like Sara Lee.
