2 beers: Sweet, sweet indifference.
4 beers: Yes, he tells you this joke every time you see him. Just smile. Smile . . .

10 beers: "There's shum-thing I've alwaysh wanted to shay to you . . . "

Hey! My 6/22 list didn't post - stupid blogger. Here is my best memory of what I wrote.

Mediocre music movies from the 1970s that are worth looking up

1. Phantom of the Paradise
2. Bugsy Malone
3. The Fish That Saved Pittsburgh
4. Sgt. Pepper's Lonley Hearts Club Band
5. Roller Boogie
6. Rock and Roll High School
7. FM
8. Car Wash
9. Kiss Meets the Phantom of the Park

The first two movies, early works by Brian DePalma and Alan Parker, might be weird, but they are Oscar-nominated weirdness thanks to the great Paul Williams who also stars in the first movie.

Oh please, please, please. Let one of these things happen on the final episode of I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here.

1. Heidi and Spencer will be held to the standards of the real world rather than MTV's The Real World. In the real world, worthless show-offs are shunned and pelted with rotten vegetables. In The Real World being a worthless show-off is every audience member's greatest dream.
2. Patti Blagojevich will go on a curse-filled tirade and decide to make the camp her permanent home because living in the Costa Rican jungle is preferable to life with Rod.
3. Janice Dickinson's lips continue absorbing her brain until she is not just an idiot, but an idiot who is no longer capable of sharing her idiocy with the rest of us.
4. Congress will pass legistlation that compels Stephen Baldwin to keep his shirt on whenever a camera is capable of capturing an image that will curdle our collective stomachs.
5. Lou Diamond Phillip's agent and manager will be flown into the jungle camp and stoned for convincing him to do something that is beneath him. (I'm not saying he's a megastar but he is talented enough to have options.)
6. Pfizer will create a drug that allows idiots to fully perceive reality.

June 20-28 is Worldwide Vegan Bake Sale. Here are 10 things you can expect to find at your local vegan bake sale.

1.  Cookies that taste like library paste and flax seed.
2.  The pungent aroma of patchouli and unwashed dreadlocks.

4.  Warm carob chip cookies and ice cold rice milk.
5.  Cupcakes that are both tough and spongy.
6.  Self-righteous indignation repackaged as a trendy socially aware lifestyle.
7.  Frosting made from earth-friendly vegan shortening (which officially doesn't count as a partially hydrogenated oil since it's not that common bourgeois shortening you can get at Walmart.)
8.  8-grain sherbet.
9.  Tired people impatiently waiting for everyone to leave so that they can jam.
10.  Secret burger-eaters.

Local rednecks, you're always saying git 'er done (it's so funny too.) Here are 5 things that you might get done.

1. Your GED.
2. Your roots.
3. The restoration of that "classic" Camaro sitting in your front yard.
4. Your teeth.
5. Your haircut (so far you've only cut the top.)

June 13, 2009

ATTENTION LOCAL REDNECKS! I have questions for you.

1.  I might understand how you can't sit through a stop-light without spitting out the window, but how do you generate SO much spit? 
2.  Abraham Lincoln's corpse lives here.  What's with the giant Confederate flag on your pickup?
3.  I realize that you can't see your own elbows - do you know that they need a good cleaning?
4.  I know it's a fashion statement but did anyone mention that your shirt is considered underwear?
5.  Summer is a great time for outdoor festivals and community concerts.  Do you have to bring your pitbull to all of them?*
6.  Why do you ride a Schwinn Stingray? Do they even make those bikes anymore?
7.  When you get dressed up, do you buy a new ball cap or do you just have a formal ball cap you hold aside for special occasions?
8.  Why do you wear your sunglasses on the back of your head?
9.  You do realize that Camel is a brand of cigarettes and not a designer fashion label?

* Yes, yes, pitbull weirdos, it's the owner not the breed.  Although you rarely see thuggish morons  walking a poodle named Killbot so don't blame the rest of the world if we connect the breed to the morons who seem attracted to them.

9 reasons you should avoid the hobo sno-cone stand.

1. They get the ice from out behind the fish market.
2.
Creative flavor combinations including Mulligan Stew, Ripple, and Beenie Weenie sound good on paper but they are a bit underwhelming in practice.
3.
The yellow syrup is supposed to be banana but it just sort of tastes salty.
4. If you order a Fuzzy Navel sno-cone, they garnish it with belly button lint.
5.
Kids love the Tiger’s Blood flavor but there aren’t any tigers around these parts so they use raccoon blood instead.
6.
“Hold the beard hair” is considered a special order and costs extra.
7.
Ordering is sort of a gamble since once they take your money, you never know when the boxcar is going to carry off the sno-cone stand.
8.
A Rainbow sno-cone is just various shades of brown.
9. The tip jar is an ashtray and the tips are cigarette butts.

3. How to tell if Match.com has hooked you up with a Sasquatch.
Her dislikes include photographers and bigfoot hunters.
4. Sure fire ways to insure that no one reads your blog.
Spend hours and hours coming up with something clever to say.
5. The Barack Obama drinking game.
Every time he nationalizes health care, take a drink

I am sick of crazy cat ladies trying to guilt me into adopting a stray. Here are 10 ways our world can deal with cat overpopulation.

3. United States - Big Meow (two all-cat patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions, on a sesame seed bun)

5. Italy - Veal PiCATTa (a fusion of veal and cat with a savory caper sauce)
6. United Kingdom - Welsh Rarecat (toasted cat with cheese sauce)
7. Japan - YaCATitori - (grilled skewers of cat served with a sweet dipping sauce)

7 personal delusions

1.  Pie counts as a daily fruit/vegetable serving.
2.  Hard work is rewarded.
3.  Repeated washing causes my pants to shrink - it's the pants I tell you, not me.
4.  Beer is a medical supply and should be covered by whatever health care reform we have in the works.
5.  Dick Cheney is a cyborg.  (I keep saying this but I don't hear it repeated on the Internet nearly enough.  Remember, refer to him as a Cheneybot-2000 Mark III model cyborg so that I'll know you're spreading my delusion.)
6.  Hats are for men, caps are for boys.
7.  A man's worth can be determined by the quality of the biscuits and gravy he cooks.

ATTENTION: Superman nerds of the Internet, I have questions.

1. Does Clark Kent have a belly button?
2. If Superman were real, would he file a restraining order against Nicholas Cage?
3. Who would win a fight? Superman or the Cheneybot-2000 Mark III model cyborg?
4. Reverse the orbit of Earth? Would that send us back in time or cause catastrophic seismic, volcanic, and tidal activity?
5. If Clark Kent were a douchebag and wanted to get the Superman logo tattooed on his arm, would the tattoo needles pierce his skin?
6. He's always wearing the blue and red spandex. What do you think - skidmarks?
7. Which is most embarassing: Krypto the Superdog, Beppo the Supermonkey, Streaky the Supercat, or Comet the Superhorse?
8. One of Superman's greatest weaknesses is magic. Does this mean he dislikes Criss Angel as much as the rest of us?
9. If Clark Kent uses sun block, would he lose his powers?
10. Gene Hackman or Kevin Spacey? (Pick the correct answer, you're a proper nerd, pick the other, you're an idiot.)
