Flying Spaghetti Monster Cartoons

This may be incendiary, but I support freedom of speech. Here are several of the highly controversial Flying Spaghetti Monster cartoons:

Weekend

Holly, Megan, Darryn, Marye, and I went climbing at Vertical Endeavors on Saturday. It was my first vertical climbing experience, and a welcome contrast to bouldering. Fun times. After the forearms were nonfunctional, we went to El Burrito Mercado and replenished ourselves with Mexican food. I was also lucky enough to find a vending machine selling water-adhesive Jesus tattoos and mud-flap girl tattoos for only fifty cents each. Booya. Later in the evening I found myself on a masculine sojourn, as the girls (Holly, Megan, Liz, Yarrow, Marye) wanted to reminisce about first periods. I went to the Lake Street Garage on Lake and 36th. Every Saturday and Sunday the Garage serves a trivia game starting at eight o' clock. Three women in their fifties (the three virgins as they called themselves) enlisted me to complete a four-person team. The pub quiz was slow-paced, so I ordered a chocolate shake and read an article in the Bridge about a development planned to rise up next to the historic Pillsbury mill site. Next I progressed westward on Lake Street to the Poodle Club (old balls club). I ordered a Summit EPA, watched basketball, and then left after an old lady started telling me about her breasts (apparently they weren't where they used to be). Eventually I received the green light to join the girls at Lee's Liquor Lounge where we listened to the live music of Reverse Cowgirl, which I just Googled tonight. I was not aware of what that position was called. On Sunday Paul and I went for an alumni run. Then we met peeps at the LG (Longfellow Grill), ate, and said farewell. Actually, Steve and Yarrow spent the night at our house and left for Decorah today.

Hello

So...

I've been preoccupied. I was festooned with a mullet on my birthday. It was radical. I protested at the Danish-American Institute in Minneapolis. It was fulfilling. I bought a starter kit and EPA ingredients at Northern Brewer. The brewing and bottling is complete; I am waiting for the yeast to eat the priming sugar and carbonate the beverages.
