To plume up my will in double knavery

  1. On martinis

    Here is the correct way to make a martini:

    Fill a metal tumbler with ice.
    Add a capful of vermouth and shake the crap out of it
    Pause for a couple of minutes to allow a small amount of icemelt -- you want a bit of interaction between the vermouth and the icemelt.
    Put a lid on the tumbler and strain out the vermouth -- pour the excess vermouth right down the drain.
    Add 2 shots of gin (for a proper martini) or vodka (if you're a communist).

  3. An atheist minister

    One of my former co-workers just became a legally ordained atheist minister.

  8. On Stupidity and Horsetrout Shrink Talk

    At least one in every three people is stupid. I'm one of these people; I'm well read enough that this is not immediately apparent, but reading a lot is not the same as being any smarter than anyone else. I may mention my stupidity from time to time if it's relevant. I don't want to hear any bulltrout demurrals--I prefer the honest opprobrium of those who attach a negative value judgment to lesser intelligence. The problem with the "nice guy" approach is that it perpetuates stupidity by ...
