I can’t believe they finally buried that Smith woman and no one, absolutely no one, even remotely famous bothered to show up. Gee, what could that mean? Could it be that even the luridly famous have some bottom line of taste and discretion they will not cross? Or did Hugh Hefner fear if he showed that he would be looking in the mirror of his future with his 27 year old fiancee? Or maybe, just maybe, this woman was not worth the free air she’s been given almost nonstop for the past few weeks. TV has once again risen to
It’s like God heard me
Just because I complained about winter, god made the winds come. They blew so hard I couldn’t walk the dogs. Now the dogs are bouncing off the walls. I’m not saying they aren’t the brightest bulbs in the box but I don’t know how else to explain their reaction to the weather. I let them out the back door into the yard and they do what they have to…after I’ve physically had to shove on Blue’s butt to get her out the door…and then run in like the wind is a prelude to the coming of the Hounds of Hell.
Winter be gone
Each fall I look forward to the first snow of winter. It’s so pretty and covers up the brown remnants of summer’s green. And each year about this time I think, “OH SWEET LORD MAKE THE COLD AND SNOW AND WIND AND COLD AND SNOW AND SNOW AND COLD GO AWAY BEFORE I LOSE WHAT LITTLE IS LEFT OF MY MIND.”
And then I go crawl under a blanket and whimper for an hour or so and feel better.
Gay basketball players
Why is everyone always so startled to find out that all men institutions tend to attract men who are homosexual? Seriously, look at the Catholic Church…all men, all the time. Why would that not attract you if you were a gay man? A group that has institutionalized the segregation of women from their midst. And now people are shocked, shocked I say, to find out there may be gay basketball players. The next thing you know, someone will tell us that baseball and football have the same issue. Then America will truly fall apart since these three sports, as best
Exactly where is Kingdom Come
Here’s the most amazing thing I’ve ever been told by a parent. “I can’t make my kids to go to school if they don’t want to.” The kids in question were in elementary school.
My parents had surprisingly little difficulty in telling me what to do when I was in elementary school. The had no trouble telling me what to do in high school. And they had no trouble telling me what to do when I was an adult. The only difference was that when I was an adult and not living at home, I didn’t necessarily do what they
A word to Jack Nicholson
Get gastric bypass surgery. You’re starting to look like Marlon Brando, the later years.
Academy Awards night
I don’t know about you, but I wear sweats and a tiara while eating bean soup and corn bread to celebrate this most glamorous of all nig….oh god, I can’t even fake my enthusiasm long enough to finish that sentence. I watch them to see what ridiculous gowns will appear this year on people old enough to know better. So far, nothing in recent history matches the lady who wore the swan or the one who looked like an anorexic ballet dancer or that see through outfit Barbra Streisand wore when her butt loomed so large. Each year I keep
A fair warning to all drivers in Anchorage
If you zoom up behind me in traffic as though I could magically leapfrog over the car in front of me so you can continue your mad dash towards death, I promise you this. I will slow down to 35 mph and watch through my rear view mirror while your blood pressure rises until it blows the top of your head off. I will laugh maniacally the entire time.
An early nomination
For my Hall of Infamy, I am going to propose any candidate for president who declares his or her candidacy more than twelve months ahead of the actual election. This is America, damn it. No one should be allowed to annoy me longer than that without paying me for the privelege.
Even I thought they’d last longer
I guess I shouldn’t be too surprised. But I must admit I thought the Dems would hold it together for at least a month after Obama declared his candidacy. Ah me. What an eternal optimist I am. Let the bloodshed commence.
