Lancing an Enormous Boil

No, that's not the reason I haven't been posting, I just haven't felt like it.

Instead, I've been reading more, about everything but politics.  The Cowboys have been going through training camp and are playing their last preseason game tomorrow night.  What with suspensions, injuries and all the other usual drama surrounding the team, I've been trying to keep up with all the news and transactions.

Unlike nearly every other article I read online about anything else, I avoid reading the comments under the DallasCowboys.com articles.  Why?  Because they're usually made by kids or other people who should limit their opinions to sports they "might" know something about...like tiddlywinks or hopscotch.

Also, the people who run the site don't even seem to make an effort to limit the spam and certainly don't delete obvious spam messages.  There's one type that I've started seeing more and more of on the 'net;  it starts out by agreeing with someone, usually someone who hadn't even posted, then they go into their spiel about how much money they make and how "you can do it too!"  Like this:

What if forny has a boil fetish, whatcha gonna do now?

It's just a broken or expired link, but I can't help but think it's Karma reminding me of the significance of my life.

I usually am not thrifty with my posts; after all, I don't pay for the electrons or the server space, but this one should include the word of the day:

gormandize\GAWR-muhn-dahyz \ , verb;

1. To eat greedily or ravenously.

That's one of those words we fat people like to use to describe our otherwise piggish eating habits.

I "bumped" up this post because I'm now wondering if since legalizing pot, Colorado still has a low rate of obesity. Y'know, munchies and all that....
