Being a rebel comes with a price, and that price is realized in plastic overpants.

Ask a Ninja declares Ninja Jihad on global warming.

In the interest of heading off any future arguments, horn honking, or possible citations, maybe you should set the following paragraphs to song:

In most areas of the United States, it is … legal to make some left turns on red. In all cases, the road being turned onto must be one-way. Making a left-turn on red from a two-way street is legal in only five states: Alaska, Idaho, Michigan, Oregon, and Washington. In Washington, freeway on-ramps are considered one-way streets for the purposes of the left turn on red law.
In 37 other states and Puerto Rico, it is legal to make a left turn on red only from a one-way street. Left turns on red are prohibited in the states of South Dakota (unless permitted by local ordinance), Connecticut, Maine, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, North Carolina, and Rhode Island and in the District of Columbia and Guam.
All turns on red (left or right) are prohibited in New York City unless a sign is posted permitting it.

My monitor works when it wants to. My mouse clicks randomly. My cell phone only works for 24 hours at a time before I have to take it apart and put it back in the bag of rice.
So if you call me and you get my voice mail saying that I’m probably on my bike, it’s just as likely that my phone’s in a bag of rice and I will not call you when I get where I’m going.

I caught the Washington Area Balalaika Society in the park tonight.

I was a little less than half way through hiking Old Rag yesterday when the couple hiking behind us started talking about getting a Slurpee. I don’t usually crave mushy frozen soda, but at that point it was nearly enough to make me turn around and head back down.
Well, about three hours later when I found myself back in civilization and face to face with a barrel of slowly spinning Cheerwine slurshee. I love Cheerwine slurshee! I think that I can patiently go through anything with a cup of Cheerwine slurshee in hand.
As I was slurping the very last of my slurshee, I started thinking about how very rare it is to come across Cheerwine slurshee or even any kind of Cheerwine around here. I’m convinced I can make a redneck slurshee by freezing cubes of Cheerwine and then tossing them in the blender for a while. I just have to find Cheerwine first. I checked Cheerwine‘s web site, which is awesome, but it didn’t exactly say where I can get the stuff — only that if I go much farther north, I need to pack the cherry goodness with me. Does anybody know where I can get a 2 liter Cheerwine near Alexandria?
