.... I let Sylvia stretch her legs yesterday and piloted her up to Knoxville to have dinner with a few local bloggers there.... and it was a very enjoyable evening that unfortunately ended too soon, but I am glad that I went..... it was nice to meet a few new bloggers AND to finally put faces with some names that I've read in cyberspace for years and years....... say what you will, but blogging is one helluva interesting social experiment.... and it is always surprising......
... blogging may be a time-wasting hobby, but blogmeets are never boring!.....
.... in other non-related news, I have just been informed that I am to spend the larger part of today loafing in and around the vicinity of Cleveland, Tennessee with The Missus.... evidently there is some sort of "Fresh Market" that has just opened up down there and it has been slated for an "exploratory visit" by our ever-vigilant recon team..... oh, and she wants to watch the latest Nicholas Cage vehicle at their cinema, too....
.... so, gentle rubberneckers, that is my Plan Of The Day.... peruse some fresh broccoli, pick up a salmon steak or two, and wallow in a juicy conspiracy theory movie while The Missus lusts silently for Mr. Cage.... hey, it could be worse, I guess..... I could have to sit through another Daniel Craig flick..... and really?.... I truly dig watching the clientele of high-priced fresh markets pick and choose their organically grown papayas..... it is a wonderfully grounding experience....... I just wish that it were warm enough to drop Sylvia's top for the ride..... but spring will be here soon!....
It was great to meet you last night. Thanks for making the trip up. I look forward to adding a new blog to my daily reads.

Bullshitted by Cathy on January 19, 2008 02:42 PMNick Cage doesn't really do it for me, but I really did have fun with that movie. Its kind of an Indiana Jones genre and I love those action poking fun flicks.

(...and remember what Gunsmith Bob said about Nicolas Cage: "He couldn't act like he was on fire if you doused him in gasoline and tossed him a match. :D )
Good meetin' ya, Eric. We'll have to get together down your way sometime. My wife and I love Athens and Etowah and Madisonville and Cleveland.
Bullshitted by Les Jones on January 19, 2008 07:10 PMHope the trip went well. We've got one of those Fresh Market stores here now -- all the rage. It is apparently very important for ones continued social rise to be seen there squeezing the shallots.
While searching for remedies for gout, I ran across this recipe for a totally disgusting veggie haggis. Though you or The Missus might be interested, particularly if you celebrate Robbie Burns day and night.

Bullshitted by Winston on January 20, 2008 07:19 AMCool - blog meet fun and games.
I haven't seen any of the NT movies... hope you enjoyed it. :-)
Bullshitted by Teresa on January 20, 2008 05:12 PMI like ol' Nic' alright. I mean hell, if you can survive bein' on a plane with that many crazy folk... and feds... You're ahead of the game. Airborne whippin' ass right straight out of the bar... I dig it. Glad I wasn't in that fight.
Shit, I talk too much... switchin' keyboard back to lurker mode... You're welcome.
Nick Cage's latest movie for Disney sucked. It was so damned contrived and hokey. I swear--- Disney can just about wreck anything these days. How could they fuck up a Nick Cage movie is beyond me.
Jealous about the Lightfoot. Take video, post it!
