The Thing of the Moment's Guide to Flying In or Out of Maine

Most people choose to Fly in or out of Maine using the bus from Logan International in Boston because with the money you save, you can take 2 more trips. Or you can drive to Manchester, New Hampshire where they have the curiously named Boston-Manchester International Airport. People made of money can fly out of either Portland or Bangor. There IS however, one OTHER cost effective airport.

BREWER INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT (Please, no shoving)
This is the...uh....entrance.
The terminal...arrivals, departures, baggage claim, you know the drill
Shit, I've driven out onto the ramp/taxiway/runway. I am so screwed.

The Thing of the Moment's Guide to Survival in the Woods®

Dear Woodsgoing Gentle Viewers

If one must venture into the woods it's best to immediately start finding materials to make a shelter in case you can't find your way out and have to live there forever falconing and eating berries to survive.

I tossed together this little lean-to as an example just using native stone and scraps of wood and branches found nearby.

You are Welcome.

The Eye of the Sockmonkey

IS THE EYE OF DEATH! RAR!

(After the last two posts I wish I could have gotten in either the phrase 'whore' or 'sex with multiple partners' but it felt wrong.)

Mmm... Turducken


Ever since your lowly and humble photographic servant was a baby gourmand, I've wanted a turducken. I read about it in National Geographic and like most things in National Geographic, it sounded delicious. Stuffing inside a duck inside a chicken inside a turkey.

Man put together an abomination in the eyes of God and an affront to nature and then marked it down from 5.99 per pound to .99 which is, coincidentally, what I had budgeted for turducken this year.

It has cooking directions that even I can follow, so I had one this evening.

So how was my longtime gastronomical dream? You know how sometimes when you are having sex with multiple partners at the same time and it SEEMS like a really great idea... but nothing in this world is equal and the lesser proves to be a distraction when really, you only want the duck.

Submitted for your Consideration

In a town, just like any town, a man seeks answers to life's questions. He turns not to family, friends, or clergy. No, he turns to 'The Internets."

View with me if you will the following Sitemeter Entry and read down to the Search Words...


.............."How to tell if your girl is a whore"

Since the dawn of time man has asked himself the big questions: Why are we here? Is there life after death? How to tell if your girl is a whore?

The mind reels as we try to grasp this man's angst. But first, by 'girl' does he mean his 19 year old daughter and her stream of middle aged boyfriends skulking past the breakfast table, his wife who only comes over for short visits when called and then goes back to her sick mother's after getting some grocery money, or an under producing member of his flock?

But if one must ask (And surely one must) our first question is: "*coughcough* Why you asking ME??"

Only on The Thing of the Moment Zone

Previous Award Winning Episode of Submitted for Your Consideration is here.
What business is Ontario touting when they say the There's No Better Place in the World to do Business? - The Eds.
Update: Ok, the first one was a joke and I suspected a fluke but now I get several hits per DAY because of THIS POST asking basically the same question. Just today I've gotten hits from Denver, Brooklyn, Texas, and the United Arab Emirates. PLEASE, I beg of you, you post lost souls who are resorting to Googling this, write me at jkirlin@gmail.com and tell me why. What's the DEAL? I won't even publish the letter unless you want me too. I just have to know now. Thanks in advance.

Confessional

Bless me, Gentle Viewers for I have sinned.

I have been working on other projects. And I'm very very sorry.

They are...

They....

ARE HERE ON THE SIDEBAR! ------------>

The Thing of the Moment may not be updated every day but ONE of these is. I used to use flickr as a secret trove of photos but now it's sort of becoming a little thing unto itself, and The Thing of the Moment Gallery used to host only previously published images from here but now, it, too, has a soul of its own.

So if you click here and there are no updates and you are sad and start drinking and beating your significant other, you can stop and simply click on any of those links which now encompass The Greater Thing of the Moment.

Thank you,

The Thing of the Moment Staff
