Good is good, bad is bad, but you don't know what you've had

It's August...I don't know what else to say about that then the summer is fleeting.

Captain America updating his virus software.

The Submariner reading the minutes at his neighborhood homeowners-association meeting.

Acts Prohibited by the U.S. House of Representatives' Proposed Flag-Burning Amendment.

Burning the flag.

Touching the flag less than 30 minutes after eating.

Picking the flag last for dodgeball.

Staring at the flag's cleavage.

Assuring the flag that you consider it a really good friend, and then pressuring it to sleep with you.

Sleeping with the flag and not calling the next day.

Sullenly agreeing to meet the flag at the coffee shop and staring into your coffee without talking.

Cutting off the flag's pleading questions by yelling, "Get a life!"

Calling the flag's best friend at 3 in the morning to talk about how the flag doesn't understand you.

Coming within 100 yards of the flag in violation of the restraining order.

ALL lists from McSweeney's website

There isn't much time left in the summer, but it will be super busy. I've been keeping busy and it's been a good summer I'd say.

So this song I really like, Shame and Scandal, comes out on Tuesday and I like it despite it's Jerry Springer-ness. I'm hopelessly addicted to iTunes' music store. Without ResNet I seem to spend excessive amounts of time on the store browsing.

I hope everyone is having a good August...maybe there will be a LO group get together before we all leave.
