Kevin Marshall's America
Rawr.
Hey folks! It’s been a week, hasn’t it?
Me, I’m still deciding on what level of terrible I am for helping 11 people eat 9 pies. Honestly, this is the kind of person I am: I went out, had a good time, had some great food, and met some good people. Yet my internal dialogue the last six days has been “Christ, that pie has ruined my life,” as if the bad eating habits over the holiday weekend have doomed me to a lethargic existence.
I know it’s not true, but I’m wired a certain type of way that requires that I remind myself that it’s not true.
So I decided there were two things I could do: one, decide that from now on all I’m going to eat is what I hunt and kill. Unfortunately I’m too much of a pansy, so that option’s out. So, instead, I’m going to give myself a resolution to stay on track with my work-outs, and also go get out and try new things.
Speaking of trying new things, here’s your one chance of the week to immerse yourself in something other than my rants.

We love Nippertown, but you can go directly over to http://blog.timesunion.com/localmusic/crumbs-cafe-episode-100/3900/
to check out the 100th episode of CRUMBS Cafe.
And no cheap state worker ploy is used to increase blog hits!
I was spreading the love two at a time, Andrew Gregory. Why you gotta hate on the three-way?
My brother made me think the Cookie Monster went pansy!

Also, there’s a campaign to get Cookie Monster – who still eats cookies – to host SNL:

Hating on a menage a trois? Mmmm, nope, not here. ;)
Simply, the CRUMBS-TU post lists ALL the musical guests that have appeared on CRUMBS Cafe. While those listed don’t have clickable links associated with them, someone interested can use the Nippertown.com or original post links to listen to past episodes, or use the “Bands” listing on the CRUMBS.net website to find more info on bands & artists that may be of interest.
That’s all. No Pomplamoose’s (meeces?) were harmed during this comment. Sorry. :)
Try new things and stick to your workout routine?
Sounds like you need to participate in this year’s Santa Speedo Sprint!
I totally would, but see, recently I ate nine pieces of pie…
Pansy
You should be thanking me for keeping it on.
You know you don’t have to wear just a speedo, right?
If you don’t want to participate, sponsor someone!
Like…oh, I don’t know…the AASRD Jeerleaders :D
Link me info and I shall!

You’re more daisy than pansy, Kevin.
Truth, Teri. Truth.
