I went to the Llama Butchers and what did I see?

A meaty, wooly, and snippy Don Johnson & Philip Michael Thomas staring back at me. To wit, in period clothing and with era-appropriate livery. Actual quote: "I wonder if they've posted...oh my."

All this is in honor of the big four-oh for Steve-o, so happy birthday, many happy returns, may the cockatiel perched on your arm not peck you or otherwise defecate on your teal suit, etc., etc. I suppose now would be a good time to break out the Jan Hammer, wouldn't it?

phin tries to comfort Steve-o by suggesting that some day the 'lenin' suit might be back in. I figure it's one of those Freudian slips; those llamas have always seemed rather totalitarian. What with their drive to dominate Google by means of Mme. Theuriau and renting Roto-Tillers in San Antonio.

P.S. Some day I need to talk someone into helping me implement this theme-switching stuff; I had a couple on paper a while back that might've looked rather good.

(No, this is not some abstract reference to your correspondent's prose, apt though it may be.)

I'm not entirely sure how this thing works, but after being inspired to it by a meaty, wooly & snippy blog-to-be-named-later, here it is:

I would have liked it better had the thing mentioned "Central" in there to make up "Penn Central", but we don't always get what we want. Of course, these T-shirts are going to be so famous that they choke out the Ugg boot and lots of other things. Perhaps the celebrity world will beat a path to my rural doorstep in search of them, yes?

"Sir, the former Mrs. Pitt has---"
"No. We're saving them for viable commercial entities, Higgin."
"Very good sir. Away with the riff-raff."

Tip of the Wisconsin hat to Robbo at---where else?---Llama Butchers. Add a yip for the Carly Simon reference.

ADDENDUM: Ith and the Superintendent have also posted their cloud things.

I am uncomfortable saying "cloud things"; perhaps this is some latent reaction to V'ger and the cinematic misfire known as Star Trek: The Motion Picture?

Interesting. Courtesy of the Llama Butchers, I was over at a place named 7 Deadly Sins, reading Sinner's take on the President's State of the Union speech. After I finished it, I saw a post dubbed "Sloth: Classic Battlestar". The permanent link doesn't work; make of it what you will. I hopped up to the top level and saw a little banner proclaiming the Sinner to be "Pro-Victory". I clicked on it, and wound up here.

As they say in the NFL, "After review, the tenets are agreed with. The group is joined, et cetera."

Well, perhaps they don't say that in the NFL, but you get where I'm going with this. If not, it's not for you. (Inspired by Penny Arcade, to be certain.)
