damn you Beck

damn you and your new album, and your damn good song, which has been playing constantly up in my grill.

taking Amtrak to Nigeria

You say Take the train?

You ever sit around your apartment, and think of taking the train to go see your friend in LA, or Portland? Well, there is a problem. Amtrak's California service is a freaking joke.

The problem is more than just here in the west, the entire system is being manipulated in all sorts of ways. This guy here is advocating privatization, which I am not sure about, but do agree that by hiring lobbyists the public would finally hear something about the problem.

In other news, let's all take the Amtrak to Nigeria! Here are the conductors! Yippeee!

In other other news, Hey Este, let's "Get Happy"....

who hearts Harpers?

in Baghdad, a U.S. congressional delegation outfitted with bulletproof vests, flanked by 100 soldiers in armored Humvees, and watched over by attack helicopters, visited a local bazaar to demonstrate the success of the current security plan. It was, said Representative Mike Pence (R., Ind.), just like an "outdoor market in Indiana in the summertime."

Actual Outdoor market in Indiana:




Are those gunships? 
Oh. 
No, those are trees.





RNC hopeful John McCain at the
so called "Indiana like market":

Time Ghost, the best bar in the citay

this point is not open to debate (p.s. - FOAD Yelp).

Zeitgeist, hands down, is the best bar in the city.

BUT, I was there last night, and I have disturbing news to report...

I ordered a cheee-burger and they asked me for my name (standard fare) and then -

the guy asked me for my cell phone number.

After I recovered (and thank you kind housewife who beat me with a 2x4 until I came to my senses [and why are both the pictures I used {found} of women being electrocuted? WEIRD!]) :














Anyway, when they called me (on my phone) to tell me my chee-burger was ready, I discussed the "new technique" of being called to pick up your food.

I told the gentleman [for he had recently thrown a woman outta the bar after catching her attempting to "steal" my food, a true gentleman] that I thought the new procedure was weird.

He replied, "It works, right?"
I said yes.
I said "It still feels weird".
He replied, again, "But it works, right?"

This case is NOT closed.

MORE - maybe they are gonna move to this? Dammit I'm proud of me!

i love harpers

Ya'll read Harpers Weekly?

one of my favorite weekly reading email deliveries; and then this little meanie showed up in my inbox:

The statement "In New York City, someone stole the penis of a
chocolate Jesus" is not true; the source was a satire website that was
mistakenly thought to be a genuine news source. Harper's Weekly
apologizes for the error.

How can you make that up? just terrific Harper's. Good job! I haven't laughed harder yet today. You have won a small pittance of a gift, which I'll keep in my front coin pocket on my jeans.

EXTRA MORE:
I just ran across these fine gems. I know ya'll enjoy 'em.
