Modern Short

"A man is like a cat; chase him and he will run - sit still and ignore him and he'll come purring at your feet."
-Helen Rowland

I know someone really digs me if they can tune me out. In this time of instant comments and closed windows, I give thanks for people who are willing to wash the webs off their hands in the stream of my consciousness. The following is a conversation between myself and a close relative. I'd tell you who, but she just started a job as a smart cookie at the Canadian Department of Defense, in our capitol, Canada City. Here is a piece of our exchange:

Me: Where do you work again, the MOD?
Relly: DND
Me: I used to play DND
Me: I had so many dice
Me: and figurines
Relly: I mean someone has to defend this nation.
Me: Just level up and roll for an invincibility spell
Relly: It's soooooo snowy here

MOD stands for many things. If we at Grilling It have stood for anything it is to love. This blog began because there was so much good music to share. As we march toward the 400th post and ineveitable re-branding, it must be yelled: If you've been featured, love from this office. If you were up here, we love you. Except Lily Allen. I think we posted her song with the Professor Longhair sample, but she was churlish in the interview, and kept butting her cigarettes on fancy hotel carpet.



The sun is melting people's hoods off right now.

Like it's proud we got ready for this winter.

Y'all malcontents better BUNDLE UP.

Firebrands find barrels.

Put your hands together.

For now, the ray ban is lifted, and the city is strollable.

At grilling it, our primary occupation is heat.

We love all of you.
