National Dick Week
(1)
Working on beer #1 at 1430. Sip. I just corrected #4 below. Apparently my technique with Circumstition News links leaves something to be desired. Oh well.
And what a week for 'dicks,' eh? Apparently Mark Halpirin began the festivities with his critical evaluation of The Prez's recent speech/press conference. On a recent MSNBC morning show he summarized The Prez's demeanor as 'being a dick.' Oops! (Working on beer #2 at 1450.) (Whatever happened to 'putz?' Did he perhaps think that 'putz' would be too offensive? My guess is that 'putz' is too Jewish and most people would not have 'got it.' Just a guess.) Some were outraged; some, not so much. Two representative links, in that order:
----------
Who Would Have Thought That 'Dick' Would Put Mark Halpirin In The Box? (Huffington Post)
The Real Dickishness Problem. (The Atlantic)
----------
This event is well worth remembering, folks. Really. So I hereby propose that the last week of June be henceforth known unofficially as, National Dick Week. Celebratory activites during that week could include all and any funny or comical (but not obscene) penis-related performances, public and private.
