Didn't we grow out of terrible Flash intro screens for web sites in about 2002?

She's hired. I'm going to start a small business just to get the CHANCE to hire her. For now, do you happen to know what she charges to do MySpace layouts?

"That's what some call a no-shit statistic"

Oddly, Owen's as a surname doesn't hint at the j'heritage J'Amy speaks to.

"my own brand of humanism that I practice through consumerism."

Sounds like Neoliberalism. Not really something I'd support a company for, or anything to brag about.

Is it pronounced Jamie? Also, she looks like she's spent a little too much time in the sun in her lifetime.

Bill may be gone but we know the bull stayed, and what kind of grass (inhale!) feeds it.

"Like my dad always liked to say - the only thing in the middle of the road are white stripes and the dead armadillos. I now know he was talking about me."

Sounds like her father didn't think much of her, either.

Great! Can't wait until these greenwashed butcher shops like Rain Shadow are all gone. What a blight. At least Burning Beast seems honest in not giving a shit about animals, the environment, or people's health.

Please don't crap on Bill the Butcher. He's in the process of opening a new store in Wallingford, where the 7-11 on Stone used to be, which I drive by twice a day and plan on stopping in twice a week. Maybe that's why he's short of dough. But that store HAS TO OPEN. I NEED IT.

#10 Why not order from Blue Valley Meats?

I'd opt for Zaw Pizza instead. They had a van parked there before the Bill the Butcher signs went up, and my housemate says they were parked there again yesterday.

@9, for such an animal lover, you sure do beat that dead horse.

At 40¢ a share, you can afford to save Bill the Butcher, which J'Amy claims will be to meat what Starbucks is to coffee.

Oops, make that 39¢ a share.

Oops, make that 38¢ a share.

Oops, make that 37.5¢ a share.

I'm probably alone on this, but every time I hear people describe themselves as a "straight talker," I always hear Mrs. Honeychurch say, "You think you're so holy and truthful, but really it's only abominable conceit!"

@11, I want to shop for my meat in a RETAIL STORE, the kind that is disappearing rapidly from our streets. I don't need the whole world to be online. Support your local shops.

@16 I know you're maybe too far north, but seriously: Bob's Quality Meats in Columbia City. It's worth the special mid-day trip.

@9: "Can't wait until these greenwashed butcher shops like Rain Shadow are all gone."

It would be great if you understood what "greenwashed" means instead of making up your own definition and using it for something that has nothing to do with the environment.

At least the Swinery appears to be surviving, even after the departure of one founder and demise of another.

It's so excellent to have a whole-animal butcher down the street.

@17, Bob's Quality Meats is a miracle of goodness but it's a nightmare of a trip. I'm a two-square-miles kind of guy.

@9

One day we'll discover that moral superiority and self-righteousness cause cancer. Of course, I'll probably be gone by then from a petrified liver... or shattered pelvis.
