38th Street Loop

I walked the 38th Street Loop tonight in 32:16, moments after I returned from a trip to Louisiana Downs with Tim Cooper. I lost $40. Beverly Burress easily won the Miss Louisiana Downs Pageant. She has let her hair grow out from the borderline buzz cut she's worn in the past to collar-bone length. It works very well for her. Her butt remains the standard.

COMMENTARY OF THE DAY

I plan to stab the next person I hear say, "Boots on the ground," unless they're literally speaking of boots on the ground. Fucking Charlie Rose said it tonight (and don't think I won't stab even him; I have thus far killed twenty-seven television reporters and politicians for saying, "Unsustainable"). Really, man, English provides a shit-load of words. Let's go with "troops," or "men," or "men and women," or "soldiers," until we start sending to all these godforsaken counties C-130s packed with boots and saying, "Here, motherfuckers, put these on the ground. Call us if they don't help."
