Because he's dead. And now he knows that you haven't been looking at my links. Those links were hand-crafted HTML; not some cookie-cutter blog template. Sure, they are now. But that's because blogger twisted my arm. Back in my day (2006) there were no templates. You had to sweat your way through lines and lines of tags, tables, cascading style sheets ... but I digress.
By now you all know who Bill Buckley was. I can call him Bill because I knew him before it was cool to know him. OK, it was never cool to know him. Nor did I "know" him so much as read his stuff on Townhall.com. Oh, did you know he dropped dead while writing a column. He was so cool. He even spoke with a British Accent, even though he's from America. Normally that would be pretentious (think Madonna), but with Buckley it was because ... well, I'm not sure come to think of it. Whatever, it was cool.
RIP Bill. If I'm ever up your way I'll swing by and pour a 40 over your grave.

Bumble Barf
Time for my monthly posting. Sheesh, I am really bad at keeping up with this. A couple things on this blog need to change. For one thing, I need to post more. Another thing is, you need to read more. Read as hard as you can so that I can feel it all the way over here. hmmm... that didn't sound right.
Anyhow, I was thinking the other day as I poured honey into my tea that honey is really just bee vomit. Isn't that what bees do to make honey? They eat the pollen, swirl it around in their little bee bellies, then ralph it back up. Sweet nectar, indeed. Tasting the honey - straight this time, no tea - and it tastes a little ... like ... yeah, I must be just imagining it. But it tastes a little like throw-up. But could this bee right - oh yeah. How do you like that for a pun?? Anyhow, according to this dusty old 1992 article, I was right. Bee puke and honey are one and the same. Bees truly are the Mary Kate Olsen of the insect world. Oh, that reminds me - I have to link to "The Sneeze" - Half Blog, Half Zine, Half not good with fractions. Steve, Don't Eat It!! Great stuff. Bee vomit is downright tempting after you see what he eats.
