See what happens when you neglect the Environmental Impact Statement?

My comeback:

I know this look:

Yankees, Cowboys become business partners

The Yankees and Cowboys, along with Goldman Sachs and CIC Partners, have formed Legends Hospitality Management, LLC, “a new company that will be focused on operating catering, concessions, retail merchandising and other facility management enterprises for major sports and entertainment facilities,” according to a release issued by the Yankees.

God have mercy. Hide the women and children! This much evil just should not be concentrated in one organization!

Priceless:

… because if I had, I’m sure it would have turned out something like this:

“The world is a mess, and I just … need to rule it.”

(Hat tip to Steve for the original image.)

The tale can now be told — besides being a boring, geeky software engineer by day, I’ve also been working on an exciting entry into the world of Christian private investigation.

Just see here: The Case of the Theotokos Thief, Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3.

Kudos to Dale for being such a great mentor, and of course to Chris Johnson, Anglican Investigator, for saving the world (again!) and for being such a great guy to work with.

I have so been here before:

(H/T: MCJ, source here)

For those who aren’t following the players, The Episcopal Church has asked for a meeting with the Archbishop of Canterbury (to “dialogue”, I suppose) regarding the potential expulsion of TEC from the Anglican Communion.

+++Williams has indicated that he is on vacation through the rest of the summer. Sources say that he may actually be in America part of the time, but he is still unavailable to meet with the American bishops.

Dale Price has compiled a Top Ten list of things Rowan +++Williams would rather do than be whinged at by Americans:

The Top Ten Things Rowan Williams Would Rather Do Than Meet With TEC’s Hapless Bench During His Sabbatical

10. Use a fiberglass suppository.

9. Read Forcefielder’s Choice: The Very Best of Frank Griswold.

8. Audition for American Idol by singing “My Humps,” with Simon as the only judge.

7. Become The Official Archbishop of the Detroit Lions.

6. Attend a Yoko Ono concert.

5. Be interviewed by Don Imus.

4. Headbutt a wasp’s nest.

3. Slow-dance with Courtney Love.

2. Appear on Celebrity Jeopardy: NHL Trivia Edition.

And the number one thing Archbishop Williams would rather do than meet with TEC’s Paladins of Polity:

1. Three words: Live organ transplants.

Myself, I think every time he hears his secretary says “It’s the Americans on the phone again, Rowan, what shall I do?” he simply closes his eyes and thinks of … asparagus.

I’m busy, busy, dreadfully busy
You’ve no idea what I have to do.
Busy, busy, shockingly busy
Much, much too busy for you.
