Don't Tase Me, Bro!
Prescott did get run over by Californians!! It is a fantastic town. We like to stay there for a couple of days and just wander around and eat and drink in the old historic watering holes. But there is nothing like Sedona.— December 2, 2008 9:58 a.m.
You Eat Chicken, Don't You?
HMOORE123, I could not agree with you more on the outrageous things we have heard people say regarding factory farmed animals. They think the animals are all frolicking in a field just waiting to be turned into tasty little packages of styrofoam and plastic wrap. My friend that I referred to in my blog was a hard core carnivore and after she actually looked at videos from slaughterhouses, it made her ill. Thanks for the links! I've sent links to the Vegetarian Starter Kit from Vegetarian Times to people, and even if they do not stop eating meat, they do learn to make meat free meals that are healthy and delicious.— December 2, 2008 9:36 a.m.
You Eat Chicken, Don't You?
Congratulations, soozieQ! I cannot express enough how great it is to hear from someone who successfully embraced a lifestyle that would save countless lives if there was just more acceptance and tolerance of it as the most natural manner of eating. I never go hungry and never feel deprived, and I look much younger than I am. You and your husband keep up the good work. Meetup.com has a vegetarian group (SD Vegetarians Unite!)that I joined and I hope to begin attending some of their functions after the holidays. It would be great to see you and your husband there as well.— December 2, 2008 9:26 a.m.
KISS, Scrabble, and Competitive People
Hah! I've done that before. My husband is astonished at my Wheelability. Richard Dawson was my hero. Loved the Family Feud.— December 1, 2008 2:53 p.m.
Plaxico Dumbass and other NFL losers
Plus it would have lowered his testosterone to a much more manageable level. I'm with you on this one. These guys are out of control and instead of getting punished for their actions they are constantly being rewarded. They are role models for kids and teach impressionable young minds that being a thug will enrich you beyond your wildest dreams. I'm glad he shot himself. It's the same little thrill I get when hunters shoot each other. The Darwin Award Winners.— December 1, 2008 12:31 p.m.
KISS, Scrabble, and Competitive People
I hate that! "I want to buy a vowel" when there is like one letter left. I do not know if Family Feud is still on. I think they have some kind of celebrity Family Feud on once in awhile. One time when I was a kid, I was watching Family Feud, and Richard Dawson asked a woman "during what month of pregnancy does a woman begin to show?" She answered "September". He tried to maintain his composure and winds up falling on the floor laughing when the next contestant comes out. It is now on the net, of course, but I remember this like it was yesterday. Watch it all the way through. It is pretty funny. http://nothingbutvideos.blogspot.com/2007/01/fami…— December 1, 2008 12:20 p.m.
KISS, Scrabble, and Competitive People
Are you by any chance good at Wheel of Fortune? I think some people are truly able to "see" the words before they are even out there. The Gene Simmons interview is a hoot! What a gasbag!— December 1, 2008 8:24 a.m.
KISS, Scrabble, and Competitive People
She had dinner with KISS!?! Makeup or no makeup? There is an art gallery in Laguna Beach that specializes in famous musician art. Some of these musicians are really talented painters. Unlike actors that want to be musicians. I one time blew away three extremely good Scrabble players with the word "azure". Best damn feeling in the world, because they were fairly smug in their Scrabble abilities. The trick is to play dumb. Then they think you are just lucky, and when they want a rematch, that's when you make it interesting ($).— November 30, 2008 11:54 a.m.
Don't Tase Me, Bro!
Jerome is amazing! Driving there, the scenery is like nothing you have ever experienced. If you ever go to AZ, take a drive there. It's up in the hills and the views are incredible. I know, the name Jerome reminds me of the furniture guy. Actually, the VW was more likely to catch fire than a Pinto! In the seventies, whenever we would see a car on fire, it was more than likely a VW bug or the VW van. How did he roll a bug? I didn't think they went fast enough!— November 30, 2008 11:37 a.m.
Darkwave Batcave
Check out the picture in the Reader hard copy, Barbarella. It shows the entire outfit and the boots are DIVINE! We all loved Robin Roth in the late eighties and early nineties on 91X. She used to show up at all the cool places and obviously still does. I had a six-month gig at Emerald City as a waitress back in the day and she and Steve West would make appearances. As they switched around DJs and I started having to go to a day job on a regular basis, I did not have as much time to hangout anymore, or listen to the radio, but I will always remember meeting Robin at The Bacchanal years ago and LOVING her outfit!— November 28, 2008 11:01 a.m.
