Do You Take It?

An important question one must ask from time to time. I hope you enjoy the video "Do You Take it?" I was lucky enough to see the Wet Spots performthis lil' number live a few months back.

Like Mr. Cash, I went to Jackson.

Perfect Patriotic Parfaitness

This fine display of perfect patriotic parfaitness spotted at Ponderosa in Jackson, Ohio. Yummy in the tummy, too.

My Gayest Look

Don't know who among us watches Jay Leno (I'd assume no one), but he often makes snide and degrading comments regarding the wee queer folks. Go to this website (http://www.mygayestlook.com/) and all will be explained, including pics of others giving Jay their 'gayest look', which I have added my own photo to.

The site also lists contact information for Mr. Leno and others in charge of the Tonight Show, so feel free to give 'em a letter, call, etc. explaining how you feel about homophobic jokes (might feel free to include sexist, racist, classist, etc jokes to the list).

Hopefully, enough folks participate that it becomes a national deal and something Jay apologizes for.

Dorothy? Toto?

So, umm, two tornadoes hit downtown Atlanta this weekend. The emergency sirens went off by our house Friday night and we got a lot of rain, but the storm didn't seem all that bad. However, downtown, four miles north of EP, the shit was spinning out of control.

I drove through East Atlanta Village yesterday (where Mary's is), before the second tornado, and it was crazy. Most of the businesses were closed because the power was out in the area, and there were trees down everywhere (some BIG ass trees). When Chad heard that there was a second tornado heading our way, he called my cell phone and insisted that I return to the homestead (it was kind of sexy). When I got there he had the dogs packed up and ready to go to the basement (it was kind of cute). I suggested that we listen to the news for a while before going to sit in the crawlspace/basement. Gurl, it's a dirt floor down there. Please! Thank Gawd we never had to go down there.

Downtown was crazy too. You can see all the missing window/boarded up windows in some of the tall glass buildings and a few of the big billboards were torn in half. The pics above are from the tornado on Friday night. Nobody died Friday. The second tornado hit on Saturday around 4pm and unfortunately killed two people in their home about 20-30 minutes West of the city.

Generation Gap

Overheard at a Columbus, Ohio ('As goes Ohio, so goes the nation') Donato's Pizzeria.

Sixty something white male says to twenty something black female:

"Did you hear the one about Chelsea Clinton...?"

(proceeds to tell sexist joke)

Young woman ignores joke entirely and says:

"Did you vote for her?" (meaning Hillary, of course)

He scoffs:

"No, are you kidding me?"

She queries:

"So you voted for Barack?"

"No," he huffs.

"Oh," it all becomes clear to her now, "you didn't vote."









Post Script: Of course he voted, but for McCain.

Imaginary baseball

So, yesterday, on a beautiful sunny day, G and I took our fantastic friend Jenn to Lil' 5 Points for a bit of shopping and fun. While waiting for the Marta to take us eastbound, across the tracks was a little boy about 3 years old. As I watched him, he started winding up an invisible pitch and threw the "ball" to the other side. Now, me being me, and thinking no one was watching, I pretended to catch the ball and throw it back to him. His little smile lit up and he pretended to catch it and throw it back to me. CUTE! So we began to toss the ball, back and forth, while waiting. I was pretty tickled and then I looked around and saw all the people around us (it was pretty busy for a Sunday afternoon, blame it on the warm day) and was even more tickled to see that they were watching us toss an imaginary ball back and forth. They WATCHED the imaginary ball, their heads following it across the tracks, waiting for one of us to catch it, and then watched it go back to the other side. I wish kidnapping wasn't illegal.

Has anyone seen Bella?

She was having none of this.

Starring Tito and Mason

Try harder.

Mason watches Joyce shovel the walk.

Dude . . where's my car?

Inches

Well, they say it was the big one. Joyce thinks it's pretty to look at, and it's fun to play with, but seriously, what are you going to do with all of it? So many inches.

Some pictures and a little movie of our fun weekend in Columbus, Ohio.

Oscar's got the smarts

So there is absolutely no confusion on who among us has the smartest pet... I present you with Oscar's diploma and mortorboard from Obedience class. And when you meet him, although it may look like he's not listening nor obeying us when we shout at him, this paper says things should be different. dammit.

Scusa me...

Dolly's new album, "Backwoods Barbie," came out last week.

Hil

Fogey-like

It's a big day in Ohio and I have never felt so freaking old fashioned. The average age of the folks I know who are supporting Hillary is easily 60+. The only friends I know of who are voting for Hillary besides me are Johnny and Robin and they are just as old fashioned as me, so that still leaves me feeling like an old fogey. Hmmm, it will be interesting to see what happens. This old feminist is sticking with Hil for now though.
