An Afternoon Fart

I wanted to add some color here for the dullest and darkest month of the year. Do you think there is hidden meaning in my choosing grey, with a mere touch of purple and raspberry, to color up the blog?

In February 2006 I wrote a post called Bode, Bode, Bode. I don’t know what is more sad, the fact I’ve been blogging since before the last winter Olympics, or that I wrote a post about Bode Miller.

23 Thoughts on “An Afternoon Fart

  1. Gray and farting do not go together as everyone knows the color of the methane/sulfur mixture is an eye-watering yellow.

    Bode Miller is as wild as the Notch from which he issues.

  2. There is no black and white only grey – not your philosophy is it?

    I bet he got/gets his Nike sponsorship back, arshole or not?

  3. I like the new look and your twitter logo much more than twitter. Hope all’s well with you.

  4. Oh, I think the latter. Although I did have a 45-minute conversation last night about curling, so I have no room to talk.

    Also, I think January is much worse. Of course, I was born in February. Our slogan is “Hey, at least we’re not January.”

    • A 45 minute conversation about curling – sober – would give you no room to talk. February is suicide prevention month – there has to be a reason for that.

  5. The difference between Bode Miller and Shaun White is that one was a total asshole last time around and the other was not. The rest of the athletes came somewhere in between. Each having small assholish moments but none as large a Miller’s.

    I think the latter too. Of course losing sponsorships makes one less of an asshole in public. ;)

    Using gray to color something up is a cooper trait for sure.

  6. The best thing about February is that it’s so short. I like the new look… it’s got just the right amount of color. I tried to care about the Olympics, but I failed miserably. Curling does look like it might be fun if beer was involved.

  7. Bode is sick, though I think the latter is more worrisome in the long run.

    Tell me again why ice dancing is a sport? If ice dancing can be a sport curling can be a sport.

  8. This gray is exactly the color of my winter coat–I’m the only person to wear one here despite the weather being in the 30′s until this week so of course I love it–it’s more silver
    I love raspberry. Purple well it’s the color of royalty and you are so….

  9. See I knew this was the darkest and dullest month of the year! No wonder they made it so short! It can only get better!

  10. It has been a rather depressing month, the lack of sunshine is definitely bothering me.
