Hi folks! You may have noticed a few changes...
Like, for instance, the name of my blog has changed. It is no longer "Tact is for Those Clever Enough to Be Witty" and is now Kosher Porkchops. The blog's address is no longer fatpinkhippo.wordpress.com, but www.KosherPorkchops.com.
My sister, in her awesome generosity, has gifted me with a domain name. She also has gifted me with her presence in the sense that she will now also be posting here, mostly comics, but sometimes actual posts. My sister's name is Julie, because when I wrote about her in the past, that is what I chose to name her. Hence, she is saving me much much much editing by just saying that her name is Julie. THANK YOU JULIE.
If you're wondering where the name Kosher Porkchops came from, he's the delightful story:
Once, I came home, and my sister was in the process of Koshering meat. (Boiling in salt water, essentially, for those of you who do not know.) I asked her what she was koshering, and she replied:
"Pork chops."
I stopped in my place. "Pork chops?" I asked.
"Yeah." she replied.
"Julie, I am pretty sure that is an affont to God." I said.
"Yeah, but it's a pretty tasty affront to God." She replied.
Hence, when trying to figure out a domain name that worked for the both of us, she came up with Kosher Porkchops. Since, you know, this blog is probably an affront to God as well.
I am pretty sure your links in your blogrolls will still point to me and this blog, but I am not sure. When I type in my old blog address at wordpress, it redirects here, so I think we are good. But you should probably change them anyhow, mostly because I enjoy making your lives difficult.
Now, for those of you smart people who use Google Reader, I think it automatically changes. I have google reader as well, and after this post I am going to check it out and see if it works.
(For those of you who do not know what google reader IS, let me explain. Google Reader - found at reader.google.com - is a service where you can subscribe to all your favorite blogs and read them all at once in one convenient place. For those of you who read blogs at work - I HIGHLY recommend it. To your IT department, it looks like you only look at one site a day when dicking around, not, say, 45. Plus they cannot track you and your habits on the net.)
UPDATE: Oh no Google Reader doesn't automatically redirect. Fuuuuuudge.
UPDATE X 2: Wait...no I think it does update in Google Reader. Whew.
While I totally support you changing the name on your own site, I will miss imagining pink hippos in tutus each and every time I come visit you.
ReplyDeleteNow it can be pigs in Pink Tutus!
ReplyDeleteI will also miss being a Fat Pink Hippo...*sighs*
Can they be the big fat hairy black and white pigs, like at the county fair? That would make up for it.
ReplyDeleteIt totally can. And strippers can jello wrassle it too, if you would like.
ReplyDeleteWe soooo have the same souls. Just different bodies in different states. You have the same sick sense of humor I do! Are you sure you don't work in an OR?
ReplyDeleteNo, but I always thought I would be good at it. Seeing as I am rarely grossed out...
ReplyDeleteIf anyone can gross out, you can!
ReplyDeleteDid you mean she can gross everyone else out, or that she's easily grossed out, Dad? I'm beginning to feel like family, a little.
ReplyDeleteHe means I can gross everyone out...my family is good for that!

ReplyDeleteMeat is kosher/not kosher because of the way it's butchered, not how it's prepared. If you boil meat in salty water, you don't get kosher meat, you just get salty boiled meat (which, while delicious, would still not be kosher). Boiling in water (salt not necessary) only works for nonporous materials, like pans and cutlery.

I know I know I know, I just thought it was too humorous. The cut of meat obviously wouldn't matter considering it was pork and all.
