Human Nature
I wouldn't know, sir.
In Korzybski's framework time binding is the third level in a progression of bindings. Energy binding is what all life forms do in the process of converting ambient energy for use in their life processes. Space binding is performed by animals and to a much lesser degree by some plants in their various activities. Finally, through language and culture, sapient beings such as humans perform time binding by the transmission of knowledge and abstractions through time which are accreted in cultures.
Which reminds me, sir: 2010 is upon us, and it dawned on me that no Calendar yet has been chosen by the management for the New Year.
My feelings in this has always been that such matters should be left to the patrons.
Reconciling everyone's aesthetic at The Wulfshead, which can go from the gentleman's own unique and exquisite tastes, to other patrons' many inclinations, such as, say, Mr. Trovato's very own exquisite sense of aesthetic... well, quite frankly, I am sure the gentleman can see why such an attempt at reconciliation is beyond the capacity of any staff---including me, sir. Nor do I feel that it should be attempted; to each his or her own, sir, that's what I always say. However, a patron with whom I was having a very similar conversation yesterday, brought to my attention that Girls and Corpses have quite an unusual 2010 calendar that might just do the trick this year.
What do you think, sir?
There is, to a certain degree, a bit of a Goyesque sensibility to the calendar that I am sure has not escaped the gentleman's notice.
Eros and Thanatos, sir.

How To Mousse A Moose

Sarah Palin's family on "The Oprah Winfrey Show", AP Photo/Harpo Productions, Inc., George Burns
Don't turn up your trousers before you get to the brook.
---Advice for today at The Old Farmer's Almanac
I like to think I support feminists, despite the challenges of consistency I sometimes assert. However, I remain vague on aspects of hair styling and artistic cookery. To mousse something has to do with frothing up the hair I believe, and a mousse is a sort of frothed food. A moose mousse would involve intricate grinding and sieving of the animal before the actual dessert could be served. And I don't know whether chocolate goes well with moose. Chocolate gravy on roast beef might not be bad.
But back to topic: a moussed moose might make a cute, fluffy animal toy for a child, complete with soft antler rack---if the things on a male moose are called antlers and not some special term. You see, I don't really know what I'm talking about here, which is why I want to turn the job over to a woman who, before Sarah's book, might have been considered a real rogue of a female. Can there be any comparison between Maureen Dowd and Sarah Palin? Go to this morning's link...and let the moussing begin~~~

MAKING SUNDAY JUST A WEE BIT BRIGHTER

I was sitting on my porch this morning drinking my first and only cup of coffee, pondering life and its attendant tragedies, when I was momentarily distracted by Taser, my German shepherd puppy. As I watched it occurred to me that there are things that can make a day seem brighter like.......
Watching your puppy chase a butterfly.
Watching the big dogs chase your puppy that is chasing a butterfly.
Watching your puppy distracted by a flying crow.
Watching the big dogs distracted by your puppy distracted by a flying crow.
It's the little things that count......

Where Angels fear to tread
No two creations are the same: garnishes and ingredients come and go over the years, and there may be ten different names for the same cocktail.

This one is known as a Genesis 6:
2 oz Bacardi Limon rum
1 oz Grand Marnier orange liqueur
1 oz Jose Cuervo Especial gold tequila
1 dash cranberry juice
4 oz sweet and sour mix
Mixing Directions:
Over ice in collins glass pour 2 parts lemon rum with one part tequila, dash Grand Marnier, fill with sour mix, then add just a bit of cranberry for blush, cover with shaker, and give it enough shake to froth. Strain into a cocktail glass.
