A chicken in every pot and a toad in every hole


Toad in the hole is a British dish featuring sausages baked in a thick batter. If you know what I mean. It's traditionally served with rump steak. If you know what I mean.

Most women love a British accent. A few women hate it. I've never met a woman who had no opinion one way or the other. I suppose that's because Britain is the father of America. The point is if you like a British accent you're one of those gross women who calls their lover "daddy" .

New movie idea - a super macho chauvinist type dude gets into a melee with a serial killer wielding a butcher's cleaver (as a opposed to another kind of cleaver). He survives but he needs a blood transfusion on account of his horrible injuries. After the surgery he says "Yo Doc, who's blood did I get someone's sweet like Marc Cuban or Mark Walhberg?" and the doctor says "Just an anonymous female donor". RECORD SCRATCH !!! Now he's full of lady blood and starts acting all lady-ish and has feelings. He falls in love with one of his bros and they make sweet, sweet love all night. Then the serial killer is back! He kills his bro-lover and there's a deadly struggle.

I call it the Bloodening of Bloody McBloodo Blood Blood Blood. This movie will make 57 million dollars, mostly overseas.

Instead of just whining like a bitch about not reading much anymore I decided to do something about it. Even though I'm SO busy ALL the time there's always half an hour in most days where's I'm just rambling around not really doing anything. I'm making an effort to use that time to read.

I'm getting back into the book Why Nations Fail. I like it but like many of these scholarly type books I read the point is made in the first 50 pages and then they just keep making the same point over and over again. Which I understand is how these books work, they're try to show examples of their theory, but it's a bit of a slog for someone of my ilk.

Anyway, there was an interesting diversion where the author present the idea that we owe all our current freedoms to the Black Plague. How's that you ask? I'll tell you.

The theory is that humans have pretty much been setting up violent military dictatorships since we first starting doing stuff. Which in and of itself is kind of a sad commentary. Anyway so we were going along with these pyramid scheme type deals until the Black Death hit Europe and killed half the people around.

So suddenly half the pyramid base was gone, which meant the top pyramid people were suddenly half as wealthy. And they didn't like that at all. So one enterprising authoritarian jerk went to the peasants of some other top of the pyramid person and said "hey come peasant for me" and they said "why, it doesn't matter to use who steals all our shit" and he said "well come peasant for me and I'll steal 10% less of your shit" and they took that deal because why wouldn't the?

And then some other dude was like "Hey, come peasant for me and I'll steal 20% less of your shit" and it turned into an arms race of trying to get people to come be your peasants - it was a fine line of giving them SOME freedoms and still making yourself super rich. But it resulted in the most "progressive" feudal assholes getting more powerful while the worst ones (in terms of social progress) had their power eroded.

This eventually lead to common people thinking "hey, maybe we should have some rights and aren't disposable garbage". And here's the interesting twist, this happened in Western Europe and not Eastern Europe because Eastern Europe was more developed, they were more culturally advanced so they had more tools to wail on the peasants and keep them in line. Western Europe was less developed so they had less ability to exert control. Britain was the weakest nation and the time which mean poor people were able to get the most power which in turn meant they became the most powerful because the more people that have "skin in the game" the more dynamic and cool you become.

Before that Spain was the best because they were the best and oppressing the people at the bottom, but once that structure cracked that same idea made them the worst.

So take a moment today and thank the Black Death and the fleas that carried it for bringing us the freedoms we love so dearly today.

Putting first by putting employees first, immediately after prioritizing fiscal responsibilities and leveraging profitability towards exceeding by empowering our employees to put (and themselves) first, in a diverse and respectful environment of only those that come first, first.

Bloodening of Bloody McBloodo Blood Blood Blood.....this will only make money if it goes straight to video (dvd) (blu-ray) (ultra HD)

I'm surprised you don't just read CliffsNotes

Opportunity may knock only once, but temptation bangs on the door forever!
