Doggedly searching for the crux of the biscuit.
So, there's been nothing here for a while. I've been stranded in the Plague House, as some nasty bug took down my family one person at a time. The last two days were my turn, and it was every bit as unpleasant as it looked. But everybody's on the mend, if a few pounds lighter and weaker for the experience. Yuck.
Now I'm trying to catch up with half a week's missed work, so probably slim pickings in the immediate future as well. In the meantime, here's today's turkeyslap of the day.
"Basically, I see a lot of geometric figures made into one gigantic figure," junior business major Jonathan Cummings said. "I guess it's interesting ... that would be the best adjective to keep things positive. All right, I'll come out and say it; it's a pair of testicles. That's what I see. Someone put a huge sack in front of the business building, and, being a business major, that's kind of a slap in the face."
Nothing like getting slapped in the face by testicles to start your week off right.
It must feel particularly like a slap aimed at Mr. Cummings.

We're getting over a nasty respiratory bug, and the little one has this cough cough, snort snort, struggle to breathe thing at 3 AM each night. Oh yeah and the Greater Boston Real Estate market has crashed and its middle class have fled, precluding a sale or rental on our unsold home no matter how deep into credit card debt we give it away for. I move away to a higher paying job and then I lose my shirt. Oh the irony.
Misery loves company, I guess.

I think that guy is related to Heywood Jablome.
