Double goat report, 5/17/08

1) RIP artist Robert Rauschenberg, the man who stuffed a goat and made it art.

2) George Clooney had better not stare at my goats...

Art of the Future

Hopefully somebody will do this one day: take the data from motion capture suits worn during sexual acts and use them to animate characters that are not involved in sexual acts. And not dancing, either, that's too obvious.

Jelly Belly updates

This past weekend we found ourselves in lovely Santa Monica. There was a big to-do over at the pier where the Santa Monica Classic race was finishing up and lots of free stuff was being given out. Most exciting of the free goodies was the Jelly Belly Sport Beans. Larger than usual Jelly Bellies but just as tasty, even I have a tough time believing they improve athletic performance. But pre-workout may be the only time Ms. Goat lets me eat them.

More exciting was my recent discovery at the 99 Cent Only Store of small bags of Belly Flops. Some quick math told me that the 5 oz. bags they're selling are cheaper per ounce than the 2 lb. bags usually sold for $8. In more ways than one, SWEET!
