you know what bugged me about Brad Paisley's "online" song? It was picking on the poor Star Trek nerds mis-representing themselves when we all know the Interwebs is for buying Canadian drugs, leaving your husband for some dude you met playing World of Warcraft and pederasty. Also record collecting.

I hereby resolve to gush some of that, there, when these goldurn casts come the hell off. No bandaids. I'm gonna gouge right out the fetid seeping canker that recently outgrew its spousal-unit-shaped novelty plaster.
For now: scrubbing down the walls, floors, bedding, cat, brain, and trying not to accidentally lay hexes on the phone reps at certain fraud-friendly financial institutions.
Sorry.
I got all serious there for a second.
I'm gonna open that bottle of cava and put on my frllliest rubber gloves and get to scrubbin'.

Cecile, you're on a king-hell roll. Either the meds have kicked in, or you finally stopped taking them.
Or maybe it's me.
In either case, keep up the good work.
Wed. 12/31/08 3:45pm

why thanks, Carm!
I think it's the thought of someone else making dinner tonight and free booze that has got me all peppy.

RIght now, my family believes that JC and his Sonshine Band are over at the Howard Johnson's on Alpha Centauri. As soon as JC finishes his clam roll, HoJo cola and his scoop of peppermint stick Ice cream, JC and his pal Michael Landon and the other Boys in the Band are gonna get into JC's Ford Explorer and drive over to Earth. Then JC will pop open his trunk and rapture everyone who watches Par Robertson. All of them get sucked into JC's Trunk and then he will drive off to Heaven with them. Meanwhile the rest of us get that 7 years of Tribulation crap.

Man how ironic would that be for old JC to appear out of the steaming remains of what had been Isreal, giving the stink-eye to trigger man. I keep thinking of that scene in "Independence Day" when Randy Quaid is driving his jet up the butt of the mother ship, "Hello boys, I'm baaaack!"

From:
Joe Bacon
My family keeps telling me the antichrist has to be on the earth, got something to do with 666. They keep putting their money on the wrong guy. Since they got infected by JC in the early 70s, they got real obsessed with this. First they said it was King Juan Carlos of Spain because he was the King of Jerusalem. Then they said it was Sadat, oops he got killed. Then they said it was Pope John Paul, oops, he died, next they said it was Rabin, oops he got shot. Then they said it was Gorbachev because of that funky 666 on his head. Next they said it was Bill Clinton, now they say it is Obama.
I reminded them that the acid trip called Revelation links 666 with the Anti-C
RONALD=6, WILSON=6, REAGAN=6. They tell me I am going to hell.
