No Guru

No Guru, No Method, No Teacher was a 1986 album by Van Morrison. So that is how you are going to go off hiatus? What exactly is your deal? DJ's version is No SLA, No Monthly, No Nuttin'. I'll write when the hell I feel like it.

Actually I was inspired to crank it back up by a couple events this week. The first was Channing Tatum being named People's Sexiest Man Alive. About time People. The second was the payoff of my World Serious bet with The Wolv. I had called his team Tigres Sin Dientes. He asked me if there was a Spanish word for curmudgeon. Of course there is. It rolls off my tongue mellifluously. Cascarrabias!

It's been a tough week for DJ. We were in NOLA for a blowout with 4M and his wife. We had some good meals but I had a different kind of blowout the night before I was supposed to head home. I got food poisoning, the culprit probably being the seafood cakes at brunch. I had to spend an extra day recovering, sipping Gatorade and eating Saltines while confined to my hotel room, flying home Tuesday. Bobby Jindal was on my flight to Vegas. As I passed him I told him to repudiate Mitt if he said anything condescendingly moronic. Then I get home and hurt my knee falling on the fiscal cliff.
