So, like, today after lunch this totally hot girl named Melissa came up to me. Now I'm thinking, like, why is she talking to me? TO ME!?! So she says, 'You need to find yourself some LoG'. Then she just walked away and like, didn't say another thing.
So, like, ok. What did she mean by that? I'm like totally blanking!

I'm watching a disaster movie this afternoon. This one is a volcano movie. Its the standard story, mountain is about to blow its top but everyone is oblivious. A small group of people who understand are doing a Chicken Little shtick, but as usual it falls on deaf ears until its too late.
These two people are stuck up near the peak of the impending eruption. The lava flows have begun and they're being chased down repeatedly bad alternatives. We just had the very cliche, cross a river of lava on a tree that conveniently spans the crevice through which lava flows. (Just as an aside, couldn't they just ONCE be less cliche about it, and make the plucky survivors build their own little bridge over the lava?)
I mention all of this to ask a question. Which, I suspect, will tie into the Star Wars movie I'm hoping to see soon.
How long would it take to die, if you fell in a pool of molten lava?

Okay, I gotta say something. There's no way I can let this stand without making a comment.
Joni Mitchell is how you close your show!?! Come on! After 100 years of existence, with all the greatness, and talent that we've produced, we close our centenary show with Joni Mitchell!?! Yeah, she had a hit or two but please!
I'm offended. I'm shocked even. We could have covered any one of a number of different achievers. We've exported everything that we ever discovered had talent.
I can't even think straight.

I wish to try an experiment.
Amongst the 19 dozen thoughts I've had today, I had an idea for something interesting. I'm sure you've all experienced the phenomenon of that new song coming on the radio, and instantly liking. Like all songs though, eventually you get tired of it. What about if you took that idea to its extreme. Pick a new song from the radio, something you really like. Listen to it, repeatedly, until you were sick of it.
For this people, I will need some help.
One, what should the song be?
Two, what is your guess for the number of repeats, until it is irritating?

I have a question.
First we have to ask, can the average farmer in Canada earn a decent standard of living, under the current economic model? If we are to believe the lobbyists, we must accept the premise that farmers don't get what it is worth to produce food. So, if we follow the chain of dominos that fall down, then we arrive at the conclusion that, the cost of food in the grocery store is not dependent upon the chain that brings it to market.
And if we accept all of that, does it ever make you wonder whether the fact that beef is more expensive that chicken isn't purely arbitrary?
