As I commented earlier, the octu-baby generator Nadya Suleman's story just keeps getting more and more unbelievable. Perhaps she should start a blog like Casey Serin. Not only does the Suleman drama include foreclosure, bankruptcy, an unemployed adult living with their parents and government assistance, but 14 f-ing kids and in vitro fertilization and God knows what else will surface. This is beyond insane!

Harlem Shakes - "Winter Water"
A worm runs away from home. A short note in the middle of the night, and across the field in the rain. Out of breath and hearts racing, worm reaches the city limits and turns back only for a second before heading out into the cold open air. Barely stopping to sleep, worm eventually meets others, a new gang of friends. Starts a new life, and for weeks doesn't even think about back home. Until one day worm mistakes a worm for someone he knew back home. A beautiful young worm, reminded him of a worm, a special worm, who of course wouldn't still be so young. But it all came flooding back. Now worm sees leaves and bark and earth and water, and thinks, "Yeah, worm would like this." And at nights in the new life, worm finds himself thinking, too much, of a worm.

Doug Randle - "Coloured Plastics". What seems at first like a jingle is in fact a wistful complaint, or rather it's a jingle for post-industrial angst; a psych-pop ditty that sounds as good now as it must have in 1971, warm & catchy & spry. Listening to Randle's rediscovered and reissued masterpiece, Songs For The New Industrial State, it's an outright travesty that he's been left out of the canon. And not just the Canadian pop canon; this is the stuff of John Lennon, Harry Nilsson, the Velvet Underground's Loaded. He quotes Simon & Garfunkel here (sorta), but it's to connect the dots between their NutraSweet folk-music and this world's plastic-wrapper gloss. Nostalgia's a complicated thing in a cellophane present: even the most beleaguered hearts get some battery-powered sun.

Snowflakes and Crap

Craigslist Men Seeking Women:
To the woman that crapped in my car… (NE Portland)
We met on Craigslist so I am hoping that this post finds you. I know that it could quite possibly be the most humiliating first date that you have ever been on, but I am willing to look past that.

I thought we had chemistry sitting at McMenamins sharing that basket of Cajun Tots while drinking the Terminator Stout. I really felt like there was a connection there. I found you to be intelligent and witty and looked forward to further conversation with you.

At some point in life, everyone has gambled on a fart and lost. It just happened to be on a first date in the passenger seat of my car. Please don’t feel bad. The package I sent you with Pepto the next day and the note that said “First dates are always a crap shoot. Call me” was meant to be funny, not offensive.

I have gambled on a fart and lost on multiple occasions. The first time I did it was very memorable. It happened when I was five and sitting on my uncle's lap. I am lactose intolerant, but love cheese. I probably win 95% of the time, but I don't think anyone wins 100% of the time. That's why they call it "gambling". I'm the last person to judge you for crapping your pants. In fact, I am impressed by your boldness. The timing on the other hand, could have been a tad bit better...like when you're not sitting on a heated leather seat...

What I am trying to say is that if you want to go out again, I would be more than happy to take you someplace where we can get a meal that is high in fiber and less taxing on the digestive tract.

I await your call,
Tad

P.S. - If you shat yourself on purpose to end the evening early…Touché…

Pissed Off Geisha


bathing in gasoline

BREAKING NEWS UPDATE!
How can this Bikini Machines girl look so miserable yet have a perfectly clean fireplace? WTF? I have a mountain of ash everywhere that I would photo and post if it weren't for concern that some typical Marinite would sue me for it (wasted so much time on stupid trials in jury duty around here). It is a well managed pile of ash that does not represent a risk to the special enlightened people of Marin.
BTW. don't forget to check out Katrin and Nadine over at Nuclear Tentacles!

Blogger ate my post update while I was distracted, but Wagga sent me a linky to this groovy site for depressed, Aspergers, IT cases who need a plan. Hopefully, they'll keep it updated...


Flowing Heat has some tentacular, tanuclear bathing in gasoline with geisha and tentacles finds such as...




Yes, I am well aware that the above relates to Japan and the below relates to Bowie/China. I miss my friend from Japan who would drag me to aging Bowie concerts where he didn't do much, but smoke cigarettes and wheeze. I hope she's doing OK these days.

She thought I looked like Bowie which made me consider a sex change except for my lack of height.

Good News for Gray Wolves!

PETA: As one of his first orders of business, President Barack Obama has suspended a plan to remove several gray wolf populations from the Endangered Species List. Originally, the Interior Department wanted to remove the wolves from the list, thereby exposing them to harm and slaughter.

In not so PETA-friendly news, we have this bizarre hospital fetish restaurant in Latvia:

Hurricane Dog was the most intense hurricane in the 1950 Atlantic hurricane season. The fourth named storm of the season, Dog developed on August 30 to the east of Antigua, and after passing through the northern Lesser Antilles turned to the north and intensified into a Category 5 hurricane. Dog reached its peak intensity of 185 mph (295 km/h) over the open Atlantic, and after weakening passed within 200 miles (320 km) of Cape Cod before becoming extratropical on September 12. Hurricane Dog caused extensive damage to the Leeward Islands, and was considered the most severe hurricane on record in Antigua. Many buildings were destroyed or severely damaged on the island, with thousands left homeless just weeks after Hurricane Baker had caused serious damage on the island. In the United States, the hurricane caused moderate coastal damage, including damaging several boats and causing 11 offshore drownings. Strong winds caused widespread power outages across southeastern New England. Damage across its path totaled about $3 million (1950 USD, $25.7 million 2007 USD).
