Phil E, Killer of Cockroaches

I tore the space up in my desperation. But there were too many for me to handle alone. Especially once they started flying.

Phil soon arrived, though, and charged the room, brandishing his trusty GQ. Many were slain. Normalcy reigns over the household once more.

Halliburton, Michael Jackson, Bahrain - And BBQ

Sounds pretty salacious, huh?

Just a check in with some expatriate UW alum bloggers around the country.

Phil, a writer in New York, looks at Bahrain as a refuge from all things unseemly:

Both Halliburton and Jackson are focused on business, and both have had to negotiate unnecessary distractions. Halliburton’s dealt with corporate pillaging, and Jackson’s dealt with constant lawsuits and accusations. For both, a trip to the Middle East allows for business without the blight of life’s complications.

Mac, a Floridian law student, has apparently been trekking across the American South in a manner reminiscent of Hernando de Soto, going forth in search of "True American Barbecue." It seems he finally found the object of his odyssey, though:

So having made stops in Tallahassee, Fla., Mobile, Ala., Houston, Tex. and Austin, Tex., it seems that the real gem of the True American Barbecue tour wasn’t within any well-known metropolitan confines but, rather, in a town called Driftwood.
