Um. Did MN Trash Whore just call me gross?
I didn’t like the hipster piece either…but am I gross? Am I condemned by being 35 (and I have a job)?
Damn. That sucks.
p.s. Should a 35 year old be concerned about being called “gross”?

Was placement of the Kafka cite right after Culpepper’s really just a coincidence of word length, or was it somehow contrived?

Speaking on MN Trash Whore, anyone know who’s behind it? I have a couple suspicions, but no evidence.

That City Pages article on limo drivers is a lot like the pizza guy story from last year. A little exciting to hear about jobs that are more exiting than mine, but also kinda lame.

It’s also like the tv-reporters-on-wheels story from a few years ago.

I never disliked Al Milgrom before. Now I’m starting to see why he’s such an popular guy.

I cant believe anyone would think a breeding kennel with 600 dogs is a good idea. I think Houles confusion is obvious when he compares the fecal output of 8 steers to the fecal output of 600 dogs. Dogs arent cattle. They are more intelligent, develop social hierarchies based on being members of small groups, and in the case of breeders, are produced to provide companionship for humans. You cannot properly socialize 600 dogs in such a large facility. And de-barking a dog so he cant express his fear, loneliness, or frustration in this kind of inappropriate living situation is like cutting off his legs so he cant run away. Its convenient to the owner, but unforgivably cruel to the dog.

Rex: The links on trashwhore make the pool much smaller, or are they just to throw us off? I’ve got it narrowed to 5ppl. Actually, I think it’s 2 or 3 ppl that do the posting.
