On tap today:

Electrical repairs including a heavy up. Four hours without power. There is a massive purge going on at the Ziggy compound. Crap is leaving this house at an astounding rate. If it doesn't have a good reason for being here, it is gone. For right now, it is lunch: tequila lime sausage with buttered pastina.

Off topic I know, but what the hell is tequila lime sausage with buttered pastina?

That's ok, it's bye week so OT is the order of the day.

MJZiggy's post is probably the best one I've seen.

Tequila lime sausage is a sausage with tequila, lime, cilantro and jalapeno, and pastina is a small pasta that looks like little tiny wheels.

Usually on game day I am in the kitchen making a tomato sauce or chili or other long low intensity easy to freeze dish for when our new baby comes. Its a great excuse to glue my butt to a chair and begin a flurry of movement during commercials. Today I am rototilling, hanging blinds and chopping wood (maple and poplar). Sucking up so I can continue to pretend to be productive on future game days.

We got the Miami/Gmen game down here (we get all of the Miami and Tampa games here in southwest FL) and the 'fins just got another TD!!

why would they do that????

Maybe they've figured out that Indi sucks more than they suck, and there's no chance for Luck.

Jared Allen is having one hell of a season. Just forced a Newton fumble in Car territory to get the Vikings the ball (and a subsequent AP score).

He's gotta be in the DPOY conversation.

Anyone else riding a vicodin/vodka comma until the Lion game?

Rams lead the Saints 17-0.

Rams lead the Saints 17-0.

Pretty odd for sure, from a team that put up 62pts last week!

Watching the Queens right now (funny, I'd stopped using that term when Rastak was around). Peterson playing well, but I still don't understand how he has managed to stay relatively injury free through his career. He just went through the line standing up straight, and an LB stood him right up. After a 4yd gain though.

Miami and G-Men put me to sleep. Might be misleading, but hard to fear the Gmen when they cannot run the football. Then CBS switched to Jags/Texans (2 score lead)

Chili is ready. Laundry is running.

New fan will be later this week as I need to put in a new junction box apparently since the new and the old are wired differently.

Tebow notes.

The world is cracking up. Everyone is convinced that everyone else is on the other side of the story. Tebow enthusiasts think he is universally despised due to his talent/religious views. Tebow detractors cannot imagine anyone with a brain thinks he will succeed and apparently everyone else has lost their brains and/or the only reason to support him is zealotry.

Lesson: When someone is convinced everyone else is against them, they are no longer paranoid. They are selling something.

Truth? Tebow is a complete outlier/risk strategy rolled up into a ball of one QB. He will work better than Orton on a bad team. But the team will never gain more than modest success due to his limitations. Bad news? He would give the Packers fits.
