Town and Country

I think I'm growing weary of this general area.
I'm an evolved city-boy. Not natural.
but cities aren't natural, so who cares.
Point being:
I LOVE THE CITY!
....usually.

Right now....not so much.

I wanna get out of the way of nighttime lights and gaze at stars and listen to QUIET.

soon, my friends, soon.

Glowing meat alarms Australians



Australians have been told there is no need to panic after a recent "glow-in-the-dark pork chop" scare.
A caller to a Sydney radio talk show sparked fears of radioactive contamination in the meat supply.
The New South Wales Food Authority said the glow was caused by the harmless pseudomonas fluorescens bacteria.
Food authority head George Davey said he understood people would be "shocked" to see their meat glowing in the fridge but said the bacteria were safe.
"It is important to remember that the micro organism responsible for the glow is not known to cause food poisoning," he said.
The bacteria are naturally present in meat and fish but they multiply quickly if food is not stored at the correct temperature.
So the glowing can be a sign that the food is starting to go off and Mr Davey recommends consumers throw any luminous pork chops - or other cuts of meat - straight into the dustbin.
"Remember this simple advice - if it glows, throw it."

Thanks Mr. Davey!

Our Wacky World

So there's this lady right?
She was probably the hottest chick of the 80's and mid-90's.
Fairest of them all, you know what I mean?
Sometimes she looked like this....

And we liked her for that. It was unique and she wore wedding-dresses and danced slutty and she kinda evolved into the ultimate in "sexiness." Come to think of it, didn't she dabble in publishing?

It was around that time that she looked like this.......

And that was okay too, if maybe a bit more "sexy" than most of us were really ready for on VH1 at the time......sigh......

I remember moving to Southern California in 1999 and hearing about this tranny called Viva Sex, who did the best Madonna impersonation of anyone. EVER.

Now I never cared for Madonna, (Althought I do adhere to the Homo-Bylaws which clearly outline that any human being with a penis who likes other humans with a penis must own "The Immaculate Collection."), but I will say that Viva Sex really was pretty damned good. Even if she was a one-trick pony.

Who woulda thought that the hottest woman of the 80's and 90's would move to England, have kids and then end up impersonating her impersonator, badly even??

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAH!

Splendiferous gorgeousity!

TA-DA!!!!!!!

Today marks the end, end, end!! of the show we have been sweating blood to finish.
It was marked by days of anger, harrowing self-doubt, alcohol, greasy food, and above all, patience and clumsiness.

We have finally reached the top of the mountain, prayed with the man who lives there and now we will all be making our way back down, to the gently rolling hills of the City of Angels.

It's funny how spending every waking moment of your life in a crock-pot makes you tunnel-visioned about making a stew. And then once you leave, suddenly, you aren't what you once were.

"Well, sure man," you may exclaim, "you're freakin' stew."

Damn skippy, friends, I am stew.

Are you KIDDING me?

BOULDER, Colo. - Home Depot was sued by a shopper who claims he got stuck to a restroom toilet seat because a prankster had smeared it with glue.
Bob Dougherty, 57, accused employees of ignoring his cries for help for about 15 minutes because they thought he was kidding.
“They left me there, going through all that stress,” Dougherty told The (Boulder) Daily Camera. “They just let me rot.”
The lawsuit, filed Friday, said Dougherty was recovering from heart bypass surgery and thought he was having a heart attack when he got stuck at the Louisville store on the day before Halloween 2003. A store employee who heard him calling for help informed the head clerk by radio, but the head clerk “believed it to be a hoax,” the lawsuit said.
Home Depot spokeswoman Kathryn Gallagher said she could not comment on pending litigation.
The lawsuit said store officials called for an ambulance after about 15 minutes. Paramedics unbolted the toilet seat, and as they wheeled the “frightened and humiliated” Dougherty out of the store, he passed out.
The lawsuit said the toilet seat separated from his skin, leaving abrasions.
“This is not Home Depot’s fault,” he said. “But I am blaming them for letting me hang in there and just ignoring me.”
