Don’t stick it out unless you’re gonna use it!

Poor Jenna

Jenna Bush Sticks Tongue Out at News Photographers – Now, I’m really not keen at targeting presidential kids. I found it loathsome when our pillpopping-divorcing-his-third-wife paragon of virtue, values and morality Rush Limbaugh picked up a photo of a very insecure 13 year old Chelsea Clinton and called her “The White House dog”.

God damn… some things should just be off-limits.

Now you say, “then why are you doing THIS you fucking hypocrite?”. Well, moron, why don’t you let me finish before you pass judgment, ok asshole?

First of all, I think the Bush twins are kinda hot (they’re 22, I can say that). But do you get the impression that Jenna doesn’t want to be doing this? I’ve seen several photos of her and Barbara on the campaign trail… and in each of them they look like they’d rather be doing something else instead of being dragged across the countryside by their dad to meet fat, ugly middle Americans with missing teeth, smell like mothballs and being touched by their kids whom you can only pray have most of their shots…

(I know you were expecting me to say “…like hit a bar?”. Shut up. Like I said, I said, I’m not INTO taking potshots at them.) Point is… they REALLY don’t seem thrilled. It’s like me dragging my daughters around town to shop for new golf clubs. Those poor girls must be bored silly.

Pain is Beauty

Man, I hate shaving.
People think I use a cheese grater.

What the hell was I thinking back when I was 14?
“OOH! I can’t wait till I’m a grown up and I can grow a beard! Hell, Some Spanish girls on the block already have mustaches… and they’re only 11!”

“I’m gonna lather my face up, I’ll shave… and then splash my face with Aqua Velva and scream like that kid FROM Home Alone*.”

(*Yes. Home Alone came out 10 years later. I’m a prophet and can see the future. Don’t question me.)

Tonight, I decided to take a shortcut… I put Nair on my face. Just the parts around the goatee that I normally slice up and bleed like Charles Manson was my barber.

HOLY FUCKING S#!T MOTHER OF JEBUS!!!!!! I HAVE 15TH DEGREE BURNS!!!!
I turn to the side and I can see parts of my exposed jawbone!

How many of you women come to this site… and NONE of you can warn me that Nair burns like hell???? The smell of burning flesh took me back to when I had my hair permed at 19 (Don’t ask. It was 1984. My friends all had Jhericurls back then, ok?).

UPDATE It’s an hour later… I’m loaded on morphine, and I feel a little better.
Just one question…

How long until I stop looking like I just walked through an Apache line of gay guys bitchslapping me? I can’t go to work like this??!!??

Band Camp

Not wanting to leave things on a downer like the last post… I present an honest to goodness conversation between me and my nine year old that took place a half an hour ago…

Background: Sammi, like her siblings, has some kind of musical gene in her…. but rather than follow her sisters and sing in Chorus, she’s decided to join the band. Carole picked up her trombone FROM the music store yesterday (A trombone??? Couldn’t save us money and use my Bass guitar? Obviously the schools are no longer interested in teaching kids how to play “Eruption” or “Stairway to Heaven” anymore anyway.).

She starts “Band Camp” tomorrow. As usual, I have no clue.

Me: So what do you do at band camp?
Sammi: We all go to band camp, and bring our instruments and…
Me: …play Kumbaya by the campfire?
Sammi: NOOOOOO! It’s in the auditorium. We…
Me: Isn’t it dangerous to start a fire in the auditorium?
Sammi: DADDY!!! No. We set up our instruments and [Teacher’s name]…
Me: Sets up the tents? Brings Smores? What if a skunk goes INTO your tent?

Sammi: THERE’S NO TENTS! IT’S IN THE AUDITORUM!

Me: Oh man, driving past them is bad enough, but a skunk at close range and INDOORS???…. PHEW!
Sammi: DADDY! LISTEN TO ME! It’s in the auditorium! We set up our instruments and [Teacher’s name] shows us how to take care of them and we learn how to play…
Me: …Kumbaya? It’s only five or six notes. Then she makes Smores?
Sammi: NOOOO! There’s no Smores! I wish…
Me: But you’d get all that marshmallow/chocolate goop in your instruments. Parents will be mad as h…
Sammi: DAAAADDY!!!! LISTEN! She shows us how to play and we go home.
Me: WITH A CAMPFIRE IN THE AUDITORUM??!!? You guys are gonna burn the school down!!!
Sammi: UGGGGH!!!! I’m gonna go talk to Mommy, you’re nuts!

*storms out of the loft and watches Edward Scissorhands with her mother downstairs*

Kids! Yeesh! Do any other parents out there HAVING problems trying to get though to their kids? I never found out what Band Camp is, she wont tell me…. can someone PLEASE EXPLAIN it to me???

I’m concerned now.

Mark Pazuhanich, Michael Jackson and a catholic priest walk INTO a bar…

Tickle Me SpazuhanichWe interrupt my summer-long vacation to bring you the following news:

Pazuhanich pleads no contest, resigns

Quote:
Former Monroe County Judge Mark Pazuhanich pleaded no contest Monday to charges that he fondled a young girl sitting next to him in the front row of a Hilary Duff concert in Wilkes-Barre. He was immediately sentenced to 10 years probation and will have to register as a sex offender under Megan’s Law.

HAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!!
Yes, there is much partying and celebration in Anarchtica today.

I was asked months ago by my employers to be careful what I say on this matter. It was for my own protection, as his lawyers tried to sue once before for different clients. Sure, my employer’s legal team ate them up and spit them out… but I’m on my own when it comes to this site, and I can’t afford that kind of firepower.

And I do believe in the premise of “innocent until proven guilty”…

… even if it was witnessed by a concert goer, a security guard, and far-fetched conspiracy theories like the “police hypnotizing the victim” were flying all over the place.

However, when you admit you have a drinking problem, was convicted on four counts, and now has to be registered as a sex offender… I find it safe to assume that referring to him as “The Poconos’ drunken child molesting family court judge” now, I can’t be sued for libel. :0)

Closed for the Summer

I think I’m just going to take the rest of the Summer off.

Just way too much going on and way too much on my plate.
In case you’ve wondered what happens to all the old entries. I back them up and save them all. Your comments and trackbacks means a lot to me. As does your coming by to visit.

Have a great Summer gang,
See you soon.

Added 6/17/04: Oh yeah… and I’ll be flayed alive if I don’t mention this, after all, I was asked to have this section up *before June* (aka Bridal season)…

News Breefs

Lookie, lookie, lookie!!!! I beat The Mighty T to a test!!!!
I was hoping to be the DEATH card, but ok...HERMIT “the meditator, philosopher, sage, wise man”
You can not and will not compromise your values and have a desire to complete past things before beginning the new (you value completion, perfection, and introspection highly). You are a natural way-shower, sage, and seeker. You have an appreciation of the body and the wisdom of the earth and its natural process. You have a deep love for beauty, harmony, and order.

If you’re not reading Fanatical Apathy, you’re an idiot. He’s funny as hell. Adam’s a former writer for The Daily Show and now he just got a Head Writer gig for a new TV show. I wish him the best. His political satire is priceless.


Happy Anniversary Osama bin Forgotten!
I took my Osama Clock down a few weeks ago out of disgust. Assuming he ever is captured or killed any time FROM now until election day, I’d rule it as something that should have been a priority long before going after any other scumbags and it’s just re-election theatrics at this point.

Wulfgar reminds me that it’s been over 1,000 days since Bush’s pledge to bring him to justice. An interesting list of quotes collected by Buzzflash just astounds me at how the man who started the “War on Terror” with us stopped being important to Bush in no time flat.

He’s now had three years to plot and finance the sequel to 9/11, and I’d love to see how the knuckledragging Bush apologists try and spin it away if (God forbid) it happens again.

Let’s put it in milder terms that even a moron can understand…
When you get a shutoff notice for your electric, and you spend all your time and energy paying your cable bill…

… don’t be surprised when your tv set doesn’t work in the dark.
It’s a question of priorities, isn’t it?

(Yeah, call me a “lefty”, “Un-American” and a “traitor”… I’ve heard it all before asshole.
Ad-Hominem attacks are SO 2002.)


Pedophiles of the world: Rejoice! Yes the Olsen Twins turned 18.

I dunno what some twisted folks are all excited about (considering I’ve been hearing pervs in newsgroups and message boards go on about them for years.). Unlike Hillary Duff and Britney Spears, the Olsen twins didn’t hit the scene as “pre-packaged lolitas” to run a countdown until they stopped being jailbait.

Ok. Let’s put it to you this way. Next time some nasty-assed, middle-aged old man with a hairy back starts hankering to be a part of a Mary Kate and Ashley sandwich… may this image burn their eyeballs out:

Awwww... lookit little Michelle!
You’re welcome, you nasty bastard.On the other hand Lindsay Lohan turns 18 in just two weeks.
Hey, I’m just saying, that’s all.

Jeff Gordon loses Pocono 500 (as usual)

My goodness…
How can I forget my traditional coverage of today’s NASCAR event?

  • It sucked
  • Traveling in the Poconos is damn near impossible on “race weekend”
  • Jeff Gordon is still a miserable, egotistical little prick
  • NASCAR fans scare the hell out of me. They’re like WWF fans loaded on Budweiser and Crack.
  • That is all….

    Death Threats FROM the Tooth Fairy

    You know… I rocked as the Easter Bunny.

    … in in my new role as the Tooth Fairy? I TOTALLY SUCK!!!!
    (Though I must say, Pink is definitely my color, but I digress…)

    So here’s the deal.
    Last night one of the Adorable Ones lost a molar. Couldn’t find the damn thing, so I left $2 (??!!?? wtf… inflation?) anyway.

    Naturally, I forget that the “Con Artist” gene is the dominant gene in my family tree… so the little extortionist has decided to pull a fast one on the tooth fairy and put it under her pillow again tonight for a quick profit.

    So there goes my last $2 until payday… AND I STILL CAN’T FIND THE DAMN TOOTH AGAIN!!!! Grrrr…. arrrrgh!!??!!

    I’m gonna be bankrupt by this little urchin soon.
    What do I do… leave a ripped off teddy bear head at the foot of her bed to get the message that the Tooth Fairy is getting ticked off?

    At least she hasn’t figured out that corn fools the tooth fairy as well… my mom must have figured I had about 62 teeth in MY mouth.

    So… uhm… can anyone loan me $2 bucks for tomorrow night? (sigh).

    For the Gipper…

    It’s really sad that this had to fall on our 12th wedding anniversary…

    I remember back in 1986, downtown Manhattan was closed down for the President’s motorcade. I was there.

    As Reagan’s motorcade drove by, I saluted him.
    He looked right at me, smiling, and saluted back.

    To echo Sammy Hagar’s quote FROM that same year: “He’s the coolest motherfucker we’ve had in the White House in years!”

    Rest in peace Mr. President.
    I’ll never forget that day in 1986. Ever.

    I’ll address the Reagan family’s open criticism of President Bush over his stem cell research ban some other time. Both President Bushes combined couldn’t hold a candle to Ronald Reagan.
