The Infamous Plastic Lawn of Barton Hills
Published March 31st, 2005 in Easy Persiflage and Austin. 5 CommentsThe infamous Plastic Lawn of Barton Hills
One of the things Zippy and I do every day is, we more or less hook it around Zilkerland at a brisk clip for an hour or so, to see what we can see (or in Zippy’s case, to sniff what we can sniff. Chacun à son goût). We […]
Grilled lamb chops with fig glaze
Currently in progress at the Twisty Morsel Institute is a dissertation arguing that the grilled lamb chop tops the list of the best chops–nay, the best foods–ever invented, and yes, I include on that list both the taco al pastor and–after no trivial deliberations–Cool Whip.
Lamb is one of the few […]
God help us, it’s Clapton’s birthday. Which means that today’s Lay Down Sally Alert Level has been increased to:

Some of you may be saying to yourselves, "Enough patriarchy-blaming, already. What about dinner?" And even if you’re saying something entirely different to yourself, such as "If my gelatinous neighbor doesn’t knock it off with that leaf blower I will certainly have a cow," a few food pictures are unlikely to affect your will to […]

Title IX gets its teeth pulled, homophobic Ohio gay marriage ban has super-misogynist side effect, nutjobs contract murder-for-hire to "save" braindead women, Bush lied about WMD, the Constitution appears to have been written in disappearing ink. Big whoop, I say. What about […]
Bush’s Department of Education "clarification" of Title IX has set women’s sports back 30 years (see story in LA Times here)
To make it easier for colleges to screw women over, new federal guidelines make women’s civil rights an "opt-in" issue.
That’s right. Rather than requiring equal opportunity across the board, Title IX compliance can now be […]
KXAN: Dead Birds Scarier Than Negligee-Corpse-Porn
Published March 27th, 2005 in Patriarchy-blaming. 0 CommentsAs usual, they did something funny on KXAN last night.
First they showed two hours of "Law & Order." The first hour was "Law & Order: SVU," the show about mutilated women.

The Twisty Switchboard has been swamped with calls from the sorely peckish demanding the recipe for chicken-burgers. Not down with the chicken-burger craze? Both the glaze and the secret sauce can be adapted to any chicken-free grilling situation, such as when you win in a raffle a comely […]
SlangWatch ‘05: “Snarky” Is The New “Edgy”
Published March 26th, 2005 in Easy Persiflage. 4 Comments [Note: Typepad refuses to upload today’s Morsel
Institute photo. What you are missing out on is documentation of a
"chicken-burger," which idea turns out to be only about half as
