A lot like Christmas watch.

Monday, December 5th, 2011

I was doing some Christmas shopping over at ThinkGeek, and stumbled across an item I had not seen before: the make your own Pruno kit.

Yes, they don’t promote it that way, but isn’t that really what the product is?

How long before we see the ThinkGeek “Make your own AR-15 lower” kit?

(No, I didn’t order one. No, I’m not asking for one for Christmas.)

Hit somebody!

I’ve spent most of my life living in Texas.

The current outside temperature is 41 degrees Fahrenheit.

It is hard to develop an appreciation for hockey when the number of sustained below freezing days can be counted on the fingers of both hands. I never have (though I did attend a Houston Aeros game once, and it seems to me that I had a good time).

So I’m probably not the best person to comment on this, but I did want to highlight the  NYT series on Derek Boogaard, former NHL enforcer. (Part 1. Part 2. Part 3 to come.)

I haven’t had a chance to fully digest this yet, so I really don’t have anything profound to say. But it does look like this is worth reading.
