Cubbies

I'm trying not to get too excited for this, but the Cubs are once again in the playoffs. On a related note, tomorrow is my company's first softball game, and I'm donning number 38 in honor of BIG Z (Carlos Zambrano). Zambrano, who not only is my favorite baseball player, also threw the first no hitter in Cubbie history since Milt Pappas in 1972 and is also one of the main reason why we have a shot of doing what hasn't been done in 100 years. I, along the whole city of Chicago, am holding my breath for the next month or so.

Absurd Link #3

I've been meaning to update this blog with more frequency, but, eh, what can I say, I've been lazy. Anyway, here's another ridiculous link brought to you by PETA.

PETA tells Ben & Jerry's to Use Breast Milk for Ice Cream

It's becoming increasingly harder and harder for me to give PETA the benefit of the doubt. I'm lactose intolerant, so I understand why they would bring up the issue about the unhealthy aspects of milk. Instead of regular milk, I drink soy milk. If PETA really wanted to advocate healthier/better choices for the sake of the protection of animals, wouldn't it be better to go that approach Also, does this mean that PETA cares more about the well-being of animals than the health of human beings? Assuming that this ridiculous plan is put into action, wouldn't the high demand of milk cause companies like Ben and Jerry's to find a consistent milk source? Where would they go to do that? A third world country? Additionally, their argument that you're fucking with nature by drinking something unnatural can work against them. The purpose of breast milk is to feed infants, and applying it to make a product that's consumed by millions would go against its natural intent. Now if you'll excuse me I'm going to eat a big juicy raw burger.
