Watcher’s Council

Filed under:   by Xrlq @ 11:44 pm

I guess today just wasn’t my day. In baseball, the Angels lost, and Frisco Jr. won. In politics, Bush probably lost the debate; he certainly didn’t win it. And I didn’t win the Watchers Council race, either. Oh well. But my deepest congratulations to e-Claire for the winning Council entry, “Sometimes Ya Gotta Speak Up,” and to Citizen Frank for the winning non-Council entry, “Update 11 – The Sep. 12 Attack.”

OK, I’ll confess; I wasn’t a complete loser for the day. Tonight after work, I went to the range with a co-worker, and I kicked shot his ass. Thank goodness for small favors.

Who Won the Debate?

Boi From Troy catches the Boston Globe laphaming the first Presidential debate. If you’re like me, you may have missed it thinking it was coming later tonight. I’m sure the transcript will be up soon enough.

Last Weekend as a Free Man

Regular readers are aware that Mrs. Xrlq is at the final stages of her pregnancy. Baby Xrlq, whose tentative real name is Ryan Wolf Bishop, is scheduled to be born on Wednesday. In light of that, Mrs. X has suggested I go out and do something fun this weekend, to make up for the fact that anything that would pass for “fun” right now will soon be off the table. Also off the table are road trips that put me more than an hour or two away from home; else I’d attend my law school class reunion.

Any suggestions?

Clam Up Already

Filed under:   by Xrlq @ 12:54 am

If I had a nickel for every comment I’ve received complaining about the defunct status of the Angry Clam’s once-great blog (albeit one hosted on the never-great Blog*Splat), I’d be rich enough to buy a cup of coffee at Starbucks. Well, Clammy won’t be exhuming his blog anytime soon, as he wants to work as a “clerk” in some store, or maybe a federal court, or whatever. But he is returning, for one week only, to Patterico’s Pontifications, a blog that went almost overnight from piddly, almost Xrlq-level traffic to the stratosphere. Here’s his first entry.
