I Can't Grow Cucumbers.
Monsanto strikes again!
Seriously, though, amend your soil with croutons and bacon bits. And make a scarecrow/totem thingy out of a bottle of ranch dressing.

Everything Wrong with Television, in One Handy Chart.
The networks have been working hard to make television unwatchable for years. Reality shows -- bleech! Swooping and swishing promos on the lower-third of the screen -- just let me watch the damned show! And local affiliates insist on cluttering-up the lower-third with animated color Doppler radar when there's barely a mist of rain -- do you want me to what your crappy programming or not?
I remember when a show with a household rating of 10 was guaranteed to be cancelled; now it's a hit and guaranteed a full season order. The viewers haven't changed much, so to what do we credit this development? The view must have gotten worse.

The K in Garlicky Is Stupid.
I also hate that K in trafficking. I don't mind the trafficking, though, just the "K". Unless you're trafficking Ketamine, in which case I'll have to think about it some more.
