Emails and Facebook posts are flying fast and furious about the new
"Queer-Hatin' Cordon Blue" Sandwich, soon to debut at Chick-fil-A.

An article brimming with anti-gay hate is being circulated that tells of the new sandwich, due to go on sale Wednesday.  In the article, the spokesman for Chick-fil-A says "From the very first morsel of this savory meal to the very last bite, customers can envision gays burning in hell with their sodomizing cohorts, and know that our sandwich is on their side.”

Rolland from Ghana wants to be my friend

Jim Reeves commentary, Personal , , , , 2 Comments

Oh my…  Rolland from Ghana wants to be my friend.

I’m pretty sure this is about the same thing as the Nigerian prince who needs me to help him move a few million dollars (or something).  Or like the emails I get telling me I’ve won 150,000 Euros in the lottery there (that I never bought a ticket for).

Sigh.

If that’s really “Rolland”, he sure sent the right picture to get my attention!  Too bad (for him) that I don’t fall for such come-ons.  But if he wasn’t on the other side of the planet….

I’ve been Bouska’d! Start the clock…

Friday the 13th.  Not scary at all.  A bit nervous, perhaps, meeting a photographer of Adam Bouska’s caliber, and having him take my picture, but that went well, and the ominous date faded to a faint memory as the event kicked off (not that I’m superstitious or anything).  Adam is a friendly guy, obviously talented (look at the NOH8 pics!), and he and his team have the shoots humming along like a well-oiled machine.  Even got a hug at the end of my shoot!  He and his partner are both genuinely nice, friendly guys, and made all of us feel at ease, even as they kept the line moving.  With almost 800 people who Facebooked a RSVP to attend, there’s a lot of pictures to take!

If you’d like to have your picture taken, be sure and check out the NOH8 Campaign‘s site, and see if they’re coming to a city near you soon!  If so, get in line like the rest of us, and join in the campaign.

This image is making the rounds on Facebook, and it's garnered some comments, as one might expect.  The picture is out of context, so we don't know the story behind it.  Some have commented that they think it might be staged, but looking at it, I don't believe that to be true.  Most comments are along the lines of "awwww how cute!", which is where I come down on the situation.

Driving in San Francisco

Have you ever driven the streets of San Francisco?  Have you ever wished you could clear them of traffic and pedestrians, and just hammer-down and fly?

Well, Ken Block did just that.

(insert usual warnings about professional driver on a closed course…  don’t you dare try anything like this yourself!) (unless you get all the clearances, insurance, backers, etc first!)

And he’s doing it in a Focus!

Ok, a car that might have started life off as a Focus, but I wonder how much of the original is left?  Or is it really just a hot-rod with the fiberglass body of a Focus?  Whatever, it looks like fun.

 

Solo Shot First

Really, George.  Solo shot first.  We have it on video tape.

When Rocket Science Isn’t Enough

WARNING:  This is so far above both our heads, that we’ll probably get cramps in our necks trying to see it.

Scientists at The Large Hadron Collider, in Geneva, Switzerland, are announcing the discovery of what appears to be the Higgs Boson.  They’re claiming “Sigma 5″ confidence, which means they’re 99.9999% sure they’ve discovered evidence of a particle that behaves exactly as predicted for the Higgs Boson.  Apparently they didn’t find the particle itself, but have detected the expected decay energy of a Higgs Boson.

I’m not even going to try to explain any of it, I’d probably just get it wrong, anyway.  Go first to this site, Phil Plait’s Bad Astronomy, then to this site, The Mother Nature Network, for much better explanations than I could ever come up with.

You’ve heard of this particle before.  Sure you have.  This is “The God Particle“.  See, I knew you’d heard of it.  I don’t know if this is 42 or not, or the grand unifier, but it is a huge leap forward for particle and quantum physics.

It’s also an important indicator of something else.
