Augusta 2009 Frankensandwich
Every year in Augusta I perform experiments on the Green Sandwiches
that are supplied to us by The Tournament.
Last year it was "Elemental Chicken"
- a Chicken filet sandwich with pimento cheese,
and the year before was the beloved "Masters Cordon Bleu"...
This year things got a bit out of hand.
I present to you:
The Kreeper
A Krispy Kreme glazed donut, with banana and Peeps.
Cut the donut in half and invert them to make a stable platform to build upon.
Slice up some banana and artistically arrange the slices, then add Peeps.
Of course, I had to push it...And I highly recommend that you
avoid the temptation to throw this little morsel into your
sandwich press / panini maker / George Foreman Grill...
All the sugar on the Krispy Kreme and the Peeps turns into napalm.
Sweet, sticky napalm.
Tasty- but very, very messy.

Stuffs I Likes
On the ol' iPod as we speak, a little of the Bossa Nova-
Sergio Mendes doing Tom Jobim's "Waters of March"
A stick, a stone,
It's the end of the road,
It's the rest of a stump,
It's a little alone
It's a sliver of glass,
It is life, it's the sun,
It is night, it is death,
It's a trap, it's a gun
The oak when it blooms,
A fox in the brush,
A knot in the wood,
The song of a thrush
The wood of the wind,
A cliff, a fall,
A scratch, a lump,
It is nothing at all
It's the wind blowing free,
It's the end of the slope,
It's a beam, it's a void,
It's a hunch, it's a hope
And the river bank talks
of the waters of March,
It's the end of the strain,
It's the joy in your heart
(in Portuguese)
É o pé, é o chão,
é a marcha estradeira
Passarinho na mão,
pedra de atiradeira
É uma ave no céu,
é uma ave no chão
É um regato, é uma fonte,
é um pedaço de pão
É o fundo do poço,
é o fim do caminho
No rosto o desgosto,
é um pouco sozinho
É um estrepe, é um prego,
é uma conta, é um conto
É uma ponta, é um ponto,
é um pingo pingando
É um peixe, é um gesto,
é uma prata brilhando
É a luz da manhã,
é o tijolo chegando
É a lenha, é o dia,
é o fim da picada
É a garrafa de cana,
o estilhaço na estrada
É o projeto da casa,
é o corpo na cama
É o carro enguiçado,
é a lama, é a lama
É um passo, é uma ponte,
é um sapo, é uma rã
É um resto de mato,
na luz da manhã
São as águas de março
fechando o verão
É a promessa de vida
no teu coração

In the Crew Room
A Sweet Young Thing was in the Crew Room this morning, going through the boxes of Krispy Kreme doughnuts, looking for a specific make and model...
She looked at a mostly-empty box that had once held Chocolate Glazed Doughnuts...
Eying the remaining chocolate in the container she uttered words that will live in infamy:
"Someone's going to have to lick the chocolate out of that box."
All 20 guys in the room thinking at the same moment:
"That's what she said said!"

An Explanation is Requested
Yesterday I related a tale of being abused as I was trying to find the spelling for a word that was eluding my sleep-deprived brain.
Why did I need the word "Legibly" at 6:15 in the morning?
Because I have a daily "Things To Remember" list that we cover with the Volunteers.
Why did I need *that* word?
We gather results electronically, but as we have learned through years of painful Darwinian selection, a manual backup is mandatory.
(You always have to have a manual backup, no matter how bulletproof your Technology is.)
In this case, the manual backup gives us a reference to check our electronic results.
But... Sometimes the process breaks down. And therein lies the story.
Sherman, set the Wayback Machine to Thursday evening...
As I was Quality Checking our results, reconciling the results to our backup paper logs, I came across a set of results that made no sense at all.
No matter how long I looked at it, and no matter how hard I studied it, I couldn't make sense of the results.
"Ah!" I said to myself "I shall take advantage of our finely-honed backup system... I'll look at the paper logs of the results. No doubt our fine volunteers followed our instructions carefully, keeping a duplicate set of results and notes on any deviations form the norm."
I looked up the logs for that location, then flipped to the results in question...expecting to see an entry like "Hit Tree", "Off Grid", "Provisional" or some such notation.
"Hmmmm." I mused. "Hey Susan...Can you read this."
"Hmmm." She said. "I think is says 'Polar bear in bistro with mom'."
"Yeah... I got 'Molar bearing pepto wombat'."
Yeah... I guess a reminder to our guys is in order...
Hence the need for a spell check.
It's bad form to have misspellings in memos about accuracy in reporting, don't you think?

Unclear on the Concept - Political Insults
Just sitting here minding my own bizness, watching the data roll into the DOM from out on The Course...
My email alert chimed...
Cockroach, who had been sitting next to me at his desk got up, mumbled something about replacing a battery in a laser out on The Course and dashed out the door, knowing the sky would shortly turn purple.
I read the new message in my inbox:
Commie?!
Commie!!
HE's calling ME a COMMIE?!
This isn't even the pot calling the kettle black...
This is the pot calling the Corning Ware black.
Trampis- I'm starting to worry about your vocabulary...
Here's the way it works-
You're an Obama-voting Pseudo-Socialist pinko hippie neo-maxi-zoomed-dweeb.
When I call you a Communist, it implies you are even FURTHER left (if possible) than you actually are.
No one could possibly imply that I have any Communistic leanings...
Even though during the ramp up to the 2008 Olympics in Beijing I stated "Communism Gets Shit Done", this doesn't imply my approval of any Marxist social system.
If you wanted to imply that I was beyond my usual Conservative belief you could call me a Mossback... But that's a rather antiquated term... Appropriate, though.
You better get your terms squared away, Hippie.
Don't make me unleash my pet Thesaurus on you...
Now, if you really want to piss me off and put yourself at the top of the list for an ass-kicking, call me a Republican.

And after pointing out some obvious issues and deficiencies in his code, he shrugged his shoulders and gave me the non-verbal equivalent of "Not my problem, Bucko."
