SO not fair

I famously (?) don't drink anymore. Without regret! But early on, I thought, well, what if "they" were to come out with some product that sounded SO amazingly, soul-quenchingly me and I would then have to miss it? Drat! Well, the probably-awful beers-with-lime-already-in thing has arrived and I lived.



But then I was reading the other day about a bar in London called (wait for it) Garlic and Shots. Where the specialty is a garlicky Bloody Mary. Quel anguish. The bar is also a rock club, so just imagine sitting there in the afternoon with the wistful autumn light and the Suicide Girl-with-lousy-teeth bartendrix playing a Damned LP over the pub stereo while she dries pint glasses. !!!



Of course, I would have a "few" and charmingly fall out of one of those black taxis. And lose my wallet in some slag's knickers or summat. But still - not fair, UK!

Thanks for the Pirner

I've dithered on the Girls, right? One day I say "this is really good!" and the next I'm all "Ugh!" Good hooks, yes, but songs are for the most part ready to have a minute excised from them, and the guy's goon voice...well, I had this all settled for me with this picture. That is, I now can come down on one side of the fence or the other and they are cast on the "meh" pile.

Even ironically (or worse, genuinely), bringing back this Dave Pirner/Jane's Addiction-y look is a bad, bad idea. The earnest Spring 1991-ness of this is EXCRUCIATING. Not that everyone should look like V Weekend, but some things/looks are better left dead.

Now we should worry

World's first as swine flu found in US cat - Brietbart

You know, there are plenty of people. There are more all the time. But every housecat in the universe deserves protection from harm. You know it's true! Didn't you see Conquest of the Planet of the Apes, where the Ricardo Montalban-ish dude walks past a monument to the world's cats, group-slain by some bug brought back by astronauts?!? BULLSHIT! Do something. I mean, drive to Atlanta to CDC and block the driveways!

Yes, I'm instigating!

That said, Picci knocked a nail clipper into the toilet this morning, which was annoying. But still she deserves to LIVE FOREVER!

Really, it's worth clicking on to enlarge.

He's not a fatass! BOO!

Drudge and this picture of Obama - very subtle! It's obvious that he's trying to take away your core freedoms, he's well-read, he's a BLACK man, and, now, on top of everything else - he's not a fat! What - doesn't he sit around scarfing down handfuls of red dye # 2 and guzzling corn sweeteners?

"I knew he wasn't trustworthy!" says your neighbor.

"I don't know shit about computers or any of that other bullshit."
