It's Good to be a Geek" - Deaf Pedestrians
Oh, look. A PonyGina has been tired all week. Specifically, after the
Saturday's Voyeur event on Wednesday. Hearing her plight, one entrepreneur sent Gina a box of "phytoplankton", which they claimed would help. Like everything that Gina puts in her body, she showed it to Joe and asked if she should take it. Joe told her that it wouldn't do anything. Later, however, when Gina had a question about something else she should put in her body, she just put it in her hand, shook it a little, showed it to Joe and asked what he thought. "You bet!"
After
Saturday's Voyeur, the problem really was that Joe and Gina went home and the kids were still awake. Gina was surprised that the babysitter hadn't put them to bed. She was really hoping to return to a quiet home. Kerry suggested that she try "Robo" next time she and Joe go out.
Oh, and then there's the disaster preparedness panel that Gina has to do for Daddy Gary. The Sainted Mary Claire is attending in order to make sure that Gina looks presentable. She doesn't care what Gina has to say, only that she's wearing lipstick when she does it.
Gina really just needs a self-vacation. In fact, she'd put up with four-hours of sleeping in. She doesn't ask Joe for the four hours. Why can't he just tell that she's exhausted like Bill can? Maybe Joe is tried from all of those late evenings out with his food mistress. Gina's really looking forward to
The Dark Knight screening tonight. She doesn't care if it's good or bad. Bill suspects that she'll probably just fall asleep in the theater.
Notes
Returning from the bookstore yesterday, Bill noticed a piece of notepaper under his windshield. The note indicated that a car had backed into his and gave the license number. Bill couldn't see any damage, but he'll probably check again today. Gina left a note once. She backed into a car in her neighborhood and left a note with her information. She never got a call though. She sees the car all the time and feels guilty about it. Bill wonders why she doesn't leave another note in case she didn't get it. She could, but she won't.
Kerry is always tempted to leave a passive-aggressive note on the cars of people he finds to be inconsiderate, but never does. He really wants to leave a note on the sports car that parks in the handi-capped parking stall at the grocery store. Bill suggested
Please don't park in the handi-capped stalls.
Sincerely,
"The Gimp"One of a Kind. An Original. He will be Missed.
Kerry's beloved back-yard friend and entertainer, Skillet the Squirrel, is dead. Kerry was the first to spy Skillets torn and flattened corpse (complete with an exploded skull).
Kerry derived much joy from Skillet. Kerry even went so far as to buy walnuts to leave for Skillet in the crook of a backyard tree. Unfortunately, Skillet was not loved by all. The four-legged Artie and Kerry's wife, Sue, had frequent arguments with the tiny tree-dwelling mammal. The intelligence of Skillet's species led he and others to be mistrusted and feared. Sue would often fret of Skillet's potential ability to sneak in the dog door and throttle Artie in his sleep.
Skillet will be honored by Mr. Jackson in a moonlight ceremony near the place where he met his end. Small wooden crosses, fake flowers, and mylar balloons are welcome.

1. "You Want Cheaper Gas? Get Rid of Nancy Pelosi": Republican candidate for Utah's third congressional district, Jason Chaffetz, recently made a trip to the Artic National Wildlife Refuge in Alaska to investigate the possibility of drilling in the pristine refuge. Mr. Chaffetz feels that the
Democrats are the problem for high energy prices. After all, prices have doubled since Rep. Pelosi took over as Speaker of the House.
2. "The Mayor Stole our Dog": A Texas mayor has resigned after secretly keeping her neighbors' dog while telling the neighbor that the dog had died.
3. "Hey Gramps! Wanna Party?": Charges of soliciting prostitution have been dropped against a 94-year-old Florida man with mild dementia. Frank Milio had apparently gotten lost and entered a parking lot and honked his horn. An undercover police woman approached the car. After a lenghty conversation, Mr. Milio apparently agreed to pay $30 for oral sex but told the woman that he didn't have any money and would have to leave to get some and come back. The judge in the case determined that the officer had led the conversation and that Mr. Milio was confused and entrapped.
The police arrested the old-man are Boners of the Day.Neglected News
Angelina uses a double for posterior shots. Brad doesn't mind cottage cheese, even when eating it off the thighs of Angelina. Brill's short and curlies have gone grey.
Dawson's was the most famous of the creek shows; not like
Single Yucca Standing on a Verticle Precipice. David Duchovny is hair-comb impaired. Cameron Diaz has broken Ashlee Sinkins' nose four times. Huey Lewis and the News' early work was a little too new wave, but when
Sports came out in '83, they really came into their own, commercially and artistically. The whole album has a clear, crisp sound, and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the songs a big boost. He's been compared to Elvis Costello, but Huey has a far more bitter, cynical sense of humour. In '87, Huey released
Fore, their most accomplished album. Their undisputed masterpiece is "Hip to be Square", a song so catchy, most people probably don't listen to the lyrics. But they should, because it's not just about the pleasures of conformity, and the importance of trends, it's also a personal statement about the band itself.
