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.

Carlin On Modernity Waits On The Web Pelican On Sublime



Shout out Aunt Bea for knowing how fast paced comedy goes down around here.



Made me think of these:



California group Sublime have a version of Bad Religion's "We're Only Gonna Die."

"The worst thing about the band Sublime is that they didn't make anything truly sublime."
-TJ Pelican (Paraphrased)

Tom Waits is a crack shot at fast talking narratives. This is the one I wanted most after the Carlin (starts at 1:30).



Sublime

1 a: lofty, grand, or exalted in thought, expression, or manner b: of outstanding spiritual, intellectual, or moral worth c: tending to inspire awe usually because of elevated quality (as of beauty, nobility, or grandeur) or transcendent excellence.



That's sublime.

Salvador Dali "The Sublime Moment"

PS: In the event that you find yourself trying ot find an archive of the covers of Young & Modern magazine...you may find...

Q: "Is it safe to give oral sex? Can you get pregnant that way?"
A: "No, you cannot get pregnant from oral sex. In order for an egg to be fertilized, sperm needs to enter the vagina..."

EARMUFFS!!!



Oh...hello...young lady...would you like to see my archive of RTF format Young & Modern magazines? At my bachelor pad?



She said no.

I always forget to lead with bachelor pad and follow with collection of archived magazines.

(Bachelor Pad meaning: disused recreational vehicle.)
