Took in my laptop for some maintenance, a new battery and some upgraded memory and won’t have it available at home for a few days.  Thus, won’t be posting and commenting.  Maybe this can be combined with the Webmaster’s changes???  Fastpipe???  Ultimate???

Anyway, I’ll be reading you from the office machine, but that’s about it for awhile.

Just going to dash off a few words before I go to the showers to try and get this slimed green off me.

Now that Gore’s got the Oscar and a Nobel Peace nomination, can the presidential ambitions be far behind?

Just when I thought I was going to be overwhelmed by the sheer diversity of it all, I barely saved myself from a solo and a cappello version of kumbawyah when I noted — Oh My God, Ms. Etheridge, you sure did let that caboose go the last few million calories, didn’t you?

You can call me names til the cows come home, but I think that Beyonce girl is FINE!!!

Diane Keaton sure looks better than Jack Nicholson.

Who died and honorary Oscar.  Who cares and pass the hooka.

I’ll never forgive those assholes for ripping off Spike Jones, Denzil Washington and Malcom X. 

I just thought that it was only guys who could be real goofballs.

wrong again.

The national Delta Zeta sorority went to DePauw University and kicked out every girl who was overweight and well, you just have to read about it in the New York Times here.

I like the way the local sorority girls called their slim, blonde, white sisters from Indiana Univ. “plastic”.

Next thing you know, goofballs will get cooties.

what’s this younger generation coming to?  the world is just going to hell in a handbasket, I tell you.  why, in my day …

James Cameron, of Titanic fame, will claim in a documentary that the tomb of Christ and family — including a son — has been found near Jeruselum.  Not fiction, not DaVinci Code, but really, no kidding, that the bones of Jesus have now been examined  by the New York City forensic lab.  Here’s the story in Time magazine’s online Mideast blog.

Some of you, like me, read John X’s blog, MindTurds, linked at right, and you’ve read about his Viennese love link, “B”.  She’s been here to OKC and I’ve met her … OK I was headed off into a digression.  What I want you to know is that she’s written a little essay about “Scrotum” and my blog entry below by that name.  Please look under comments to “Scrotum” for her lively writing.

“Balzac’s ballsack” — I thought I was being so damn clever and no one blinked an eye, dammit.

In my little political corner of the blogosphere, there’s a controversy going on about a conservative commentator who used a quote from Lincoln to bolster the point that those of us who oppose the war in Iraq have no civil liberties, should be shot without trial and are just plain traitorous treasonous jerks.  Turns out the quote was a fake and was rather quickly debunked.  Well, they guy comes back with another attempt to show that Lincoln was a Republican then and he’d sure as hell suspend habeas corpus again just to get at us agitators.  Nope.  Another fake.  So, there’s this place on the web called Sadly, No. and their take on the mess was that if you’re going to make up a quote, at least do a good job of it, perhaps something like this:

“As Abraham Lincoln, our 16th President, was often known to remark, “Joe Lieberman’s ass smells like a dying weasel crawled up there to have his last cigar.” 

OK, as a goofball, I think that’s funny because he said “ass”.  In fact, a few days ago, I mentioned that someone smelled so bad that it was “like something crawled in him and died.”

Having the quotable, quippy friends I have, someone asked:  “How do you know what that smells like?”

I love love love smarty pants people.

The romantic life of braniac women.  Seems A-list women now mean “accomplished” rather than “attractive.”  Some dubious evidence that goofballs can be more grown up than their fathers.  I’ll say that my own experience is that the smart women have good sex.  More than that, I cannot say.  Anyway, read all about it here.

Read all about it in The Daily Mail!
