running the picket fence at them

a slight communication gap leaves vintage vantage headless for this week - the two guys who know what is going on are 1) hiking argentina for a month and 2) on jamcruise in belize this week. and they left me in charge 2500 miles away.

instead of redemption and winning the game and blah blah blah i have sent a few emails starting with "again, i'm sorry, i have no earthly idea..."

but i was able to hack an email account to find a purchase order and got confirmation that the order was shipped. at least i haven't been caught watching the paint dry.

happy birthday dgold's radio show

streaming live on the radio tonight:

The latest Honest Tunes radio LINK: http://dgold.info/radio/webcast2009/music405

Tune in for a birthday celebration of the music of Michael Houser on Honest Tunes radio webcast, this Tuesday January 6th.

The show will be both a marathon of music (more than 2 hours, up to 4), and will feature some jams that could be called Marathon Mike because he solos so relentlessly. The highlight of the show I have planned is a new mash-up of the 2 recently uncovered versions of "Humpy Galumpy" by Houser (one with vocals, one instrumental).

Tune in Tuesday, January 6, 2009, at 8PM Central Time on KXUA and http://dgold.info/radio/webcast2009/music405

I wanted to let you know in advance in case you have any avenues to spread the word to other friends who would be interested in hearing this program. Thanks for your support.

god's pharmacy

i got this email forward a couple months ago, and it has crossed my mind thousands of times since then, so i figure i should post it up here for posterity.

It's been said that God first separated the salt water from the fresh, made dry land, planted a garden, made animals and fish... all before making a human. He made and provided what we'd need before we were born.

These are best & more powerful when eaten raw. We're such slow learners...

God left us great clues as to what foods help what part of our body! God's Pharmacy! Amazing!

A sliced Carrot looks like the human eye. The pupil, iris and radiating lines look just like the human eye... and YES, science now shows carrots greatly enhance blood flow to and function of the eyes.

A Tomato has four chambers and is red. The heart has four chambers and is red. All of the research shows tomatoes are loaded with lycopene and are indeed pure heart and blood food.

Grapes hang in a cluster that has the shape of the heart. Each grape looks like a blood cell and all of the research today shows grapes are also profound heart and blood vitalizing food.

A Walnut looks like a little brain, a left and right hemisphere, upper cerebrums and lower cerebellums. Even the wrinkles or folds on the nut are just like the neo-cortex. We now know walnuts help develop more than three (3) dozen neuro-transmitters for brain function.

Kidney Beans actually heal and help maintain kidney function and yes, they look exactly like the human kidneys.

Celery, Bok Choy, Rhubarb and many more look just like bones. These foods specifically target bone strength. Bones are 23% sodium and these foods are 23% sodium. If you don't have enough sodium in your diet, the body pulls it from the bones, thus making them weak. These foods replenish the skeletal needs of the body.

Avocados, Eggplant and Pears target the health and function of the womb and cervix of the female - they look just like these organs. Today's research shows that when a woman eats one avocado a week, it balances hormones, sheds unwanted birth weight, and prevents cervical cancers. And how profound is this? It takes exactly nine (9) months to grow an avocado from blossom to ripened fruit. There are over 14,000 photolytic chemical constituents of nutrition in each one of
these foods (modern science has only studied and named about 141 of
them).

Figs are full of seeds and hang in twos when they grow. Figs increase the mobility of male sperm and increase the numbers of sperm as well to overcome male sterility.

Sweet Potatoes look like the pancreas and actually balance the glycemic index of diabetics.

Olives assist the health and function of the ovaries.

Oranges, Grapefruits, and other Citrus fruits look just like the mammary glands of the female and actually assist the health of the breasts and the movement of lymph in and out of the breasts.

Onions look like the body's cells. Today's research shows onions help clear waste materials from all of the body cells. They even produce tears which wash the epithelial layers of the eyes. A working companion, Garlic, also helps eliminate waste materials and dangerous free radicals from the body.

i will never look at figs the same way again

son of a gun we'll have big fun

2009 has been stellar so far

the tar heels lost to BC last night but those scrappers deserved it.

'no country for old men' is a ridiculously good movie.

clamato + vodka + worcestershire = bloody clam = perfect breakfast

holden's mask arrived and he HATES it. of course. like he might claw his eyes out trying to take it off. looks like i'm not going to make him wear it 24-7 afterall.

peace on earth, goodwill to men

happy new year

i hate to be sappy but i hope everybody has a peaceful warm exciting refreshing inspiring cozy new years.

free love

someone who wants to buy condoms from ingles grocery store needs to ask a pharmacist to open a locked glass case where they're kept with nicotine patches and heart rate monitors. i imagine that could be an absolutely ridiculous deterrent. i'm sure it's to prevent theft, but jesus christ they should have free buckets of condoms at the front door for anybody willing to use one.

caught on tape - shoplifting dog

i tried to get holden to do this at a chapel hill harris teeter in about 1999. one night my friend jill and i put on sunglasses and took the white pole that hangs off horizontal blinds as a walking cane, and put the old navy dog raincoat onto which i had stenciled 'guiding eyes for the blind - dog in training' on holden and we let him out of the car near the entrance to the grocery store, hoping he'd run in & go to the meat aisle and take something out and cause some cute mischief. but holden just sat in the parking lot looking at us.

the dog in this video is my new hero.
