Support Your Local Mutants, Buy X-Men Toys
Two ways to suppport your local mutants, as it says on MarvelStore.com. Huh? X-Men action figures, dude!
You have a choice of “modern X-Men” or “classic X-Men” from the classic Giant Size X-Men era. And by classic, we mean old. (Apologies to Triumph the Insult Comic Dog.)
Aside: The WordPress suggested tags for this post were “men” and “play”. Draw your own conclusions.
Modern X-Men, 7 piece play set
Giant Size X-Men Action Figure Collection Set, 6 figures including Wolverine
Both from MarvelStore.com

Saturday Morning and No Cartoons
Why aren't we watching cartoons?
It’s Saturday Morning. Why aren’t we watching cartoons?
Another Reason To Become a Vegan—Pink Slime
So, ew.
I missed this story about “pink slime.” What is pink slime? According to ABC News, “‘Pink slime’ is beef trimmings.” Oh! That’s OK, right? Well, no. “Once only used in dog food and cooking oil, the trimmings are now sprayed with ammonia so they are safe to eat and added to most ground beef as a cheaper filler.” For added fun, ABC says that pink slime is in 70 percent of the ground beef sold at supermarkets.
Now you might be saying, Brett. That’s just supermarket ground beef. That’s not enough of a reason to become a vegan. What are you, one of those commie pinko Occupy Everything buttheads? Seriously—do you have, like, a butt for a head?
No! I do not have a butt for a head. I do, however, think that you are unlikely to find ammonia in your kale. And kale is healthier for you anyway. So why not just avoid meat altogether?
But Brett! What about fish? Or chicken? Huh? What about tasty, delicious chicken? You like chicken, don’t you? Read more »
Why Are We Still Debating The Benefits of Bilingualism?
I’m not going to bother reading this New York Times essay titled The Benefits of Bilingualism.
Why not? First of all, I’m busy. Second, I’d rather write this post and I really am kinda busy right now. Third, and most important, I truly cannot believe that there are people in the world who don’t understand that it is a good idea to know how to speak more than one language. (And Klingon doesn’t count. Sorry.) Read more »
