Godamn Beatniks...
Jack Kerouac looked just like my Grandpa Marvin. And just like Grandpa Marvin, I bet he drunkenly hollered "goddammit" really well, played a mean hand of solitaire, and could pass out after drinking a pitcher of martinis like nobodies business! -

Noughties: More like the NOTies, a "decade" in review: It's like the 60s, except with less hope
Until this year, this decade didn't even have a name. In the future, I envision this decade to be looked at with pity and derision. Think about 1900-1910: who would want to live back then? Nothing got interesting until 1920, but by that time I'll already be a memaw of 40 and won't even have the energy to walk around dressing like a flapper 'cause I ( Read more... ) -

Talk Nerdy To Me
"Going to Ireland and seeing the beautiful houses that once belonged to the family, it struck me that if Oscar hadn't blown it all, they might still be ours."- Lucian Holland, Oscar Wilde's great-grandson who I cyber stalk when I'm bored at work (who is also my number one choice as a potential sperm-donor if we ever decide to become fucked-up ( Read more... ) -
Chow Down Lard-Ass!
I somehow managed to gain 5 fuckin' kilos since June. JESUS GOD. I also have two brand-spankin' new stretch marks on my belly. This is a tragedy equivalent to the original Poseidon Adventure complete with Shelly Winters having a paranoid freak-out in a pink Jackie O dress and a crazed Gene Hackman dressed as a Preacher, screaming at God as he hangs ( Read more... ) -
