Ab-so-lutely fabulous, we're sure

Oyster beer joins lineup for Arcata festival
"...this year's festival has a few new things on tap...the first Oyster Shuck and Swallow Contest. The new contest will see professional shuckers teamed with amateur eaters to see who can down the most oysters in the allotted time period. Also new this year will be oyster beer, a savory concoction of beer, tomato and clam juice, which Stockton called fabulous and a natural fit for the festival."

Thaddeus writes well, but "Shuck and Swallow"? Who comes up with these things?

Oh, apparently these people.

And oyster beer? Blech. Does that pass the breakfast test?
We at the NCP think not. In fact, we're going to go lie down now.

Sheez, I notice that you discovered my Yahoo Pipe. I was going to keep that a secret for later.

Thumbs up on the format change, Postmaster. That other one was a slow loader.

Hank, can you explain the Pipes?

Hank Sims said...

Not in 200 words or less. Just click on it, you'll see what it does.

The pipes are very cool as a bookmarking tool. But it looks like there's more to it as far as that nifty graph goes.

It's not a "bookmarking" tool, exactly -- it updates in real time whenever inspiration strikes one of you pajama-clad philosophers of the Humboldt County blogosphere. The feed of feeds.

I'll bet that you don't have the balls, Postmaster, to confront the MMC in person with this blog entry for them to read. I'm sure they appreciate the negative comments, especially when they are a nonprofit, all-volunteer organization that is always struggling to even get funding, let alone support from a community half full of rednecks who think they are a bunch of liberal hippy faggots.
Good job, PM-- you're really helping out. NOT!
