I can look at you, and see

    a man.

I can look into you, and see

    the leader you are.

I can look behind you, and see

    the great leaders

    that have come before you.

I can look through you, and see

    the guiding hand that shaped us all;

    call it God, call it evolution

    just call it by what it is before me:

    the irrepressible human spirit

    a beacon lonely and powerful

    in a dark indifferent Universe.

(an ode to a leader)

I have another gripe about a product and/or service, and write something about it!

You could probably get a similar, stinkier effect with the real thing by just sweeping out the floor of a ballpark for a season.

Again, a comment about the most recent release of WOD:

I’ve been using this app consistently for about 7 months now. It does work fairly good. It needs a search capability for previously entered workouts. You used to be able to back up your data via email but now you must pay for a web service. This web service is way too expensive. This is why I am giving it 3 stars. If you could back up your workouts via email then I would give the review 4 stars, add a search capability then I would give it 5 stars.

So, folks. $0.99 per month is too expensive. I spend more than three times that for coffee every day. Every. Day. $6.99 per year is too expensive. I must spend at least four or five times that for food every day. Every. Motherfucking. Day. I’m asking you to pay a goddamn buck once a goddamn month, or fucking seven every year.

It’s not too expensive. Fuck you, you’re a cheapskate.

(Granted on the search capability, though. It does need that.)

Say hello to mechanically separated chicken. It’s what all fast-food chicken is made from—things like chicken nuggets and patties. Also, the processed frozen chicken in the stores is made from it.

Basically, the entire chicken is smashed and pressed through a sieve—bones, eyes, guts, and all. it comes out looking like this.

There’s more: because it’s crawling with bacteria, it will be washed with ammonia, soaked in it, actually. Then, because it tastes gross, it will be reflavored artificially. Then, because it is weirdly pink, it will be dyed with artificial color.

But, hey, at least it tastes good, right?

High five, America!

*smack*

Consider me now in the camp of those who refuse to eat mechanically separated chicken.
