I could fret about the goings-on in the Middle East or Mexico but I'm as shallow and short-minded as the next asshole, so I'm going to ruminate on the important things.

Such as, what the fuck is going on at McDonald's and Rubio's? You see, I just learned today of the existence of both "restaurants'" double-fisted fuck you to the cheeseburger.

I'll start with Rubio's, which if you're not familiar is a fish taco eatery. It's okay. It's better than the Green Burrito shoved in the corner of your Carl's Jr. but so's the hairball my cat left me for breakfast this morning.
To paraphrase Chef Ramsay, restaurants should pick one cuisine or style and do it bloody well. Remember I said Rubio's is a fish taco eatery? Please to find the fish in this, then:



I know, I know, it still fulfills the 'taco' paradigm but Jesus WEPT. You can't DO that to a burger or a taco. Am I so pig-headed if I insist that the two remain separate-but-equal institutions? I'm not advocating for, like, ethnic cleansing when it comes to junk food but there's a great divide between tossing an Ortega chile on my cheeseburger (yum) and ... that.

I shudder to think of the shape of that meat discus, napped in disguising cheese and pico de gallo that I assure you will never approach that level of color or freshness IRL (as the kids say, yes?) And yet, I don't have to imagine. Thanks, Mickey D's!



This is a joke, right? Not even stoners would eat that. Tortillas are not the new bread, assholes. There are some things that should never be wrapped in a tortilla for consumption purposes, and topping that list in my mind is the upchucked contents of a Big Mac. The Mac Snack Wrap from Hell is such an abomination, there's no mention of it on McDonald's own site. I'd laud them a little for having a little shame but they've clearly spent ad revenue so fuck 'em.

I can't decide which would win in a fight to the death inside my colon. Wait, not my colon, yours. Wait, I wouldn't wish either of these on aught but my worst enemy. All's I know is, those are insults to the institute of Cheeseburger and frankly, anti-American. Has someone notified Toby Keith yet? Do you know what this means? The terrorists have won, people. It's because we let the gays marry, isn't it? Oh wait, not here. Shit. I'll get back to you.

As we ALL know by now, I have the worst luck when driving. Here's today's escapade: fellow pulls out of a parking lot in front of me, cutting me off and cutting off my forward motion across the intersection. For someone that in a hurry to get out the Rite Aid lot, he then takes his sweet time making a right.
I pull around to go straight to my office parking lot. I probably pull around a little quickly. I know I pull around and tap my horn. There was probably a middle finger extended in good will, as well.

He follows me into the lot and, when I open my door, he's waiting right there to berate me for his mistake. I didn't see the U-turn he must have - illegally - banged out mid-Sunset Blvd. to follow me, but no matter. I could have killed him. Yes. My mighty GOLF OF DOOM certainly would've done him some damage. He was driving an SUV-type, so I suppose it's possible the slightest ding from me could've sent him rolling.

Yeah, no.

He also whipped out a badge, denoting himself either a Federal agent or a fan of Cracker Jacks, I didn't take the time to take a closer look, because what was he going to do? Ticket me? Arrest me? Aren't we still looking for the terrorists?

The best part, though, was when the two douchebag security guards who witnessed the scenario from the street corner came to join the melee.
One said to me, cutely, "You were going awfully fast, you know."
I replied, cutely, "Jealous?"
As they were both on Segways.

And then I went to work, and I was only a minute late.

It's no secret that I hate Katy Perry's very existence. I know, hate's a strong word and all but you don't go from singing Christian crap-pop to "kissing" "girls" without a stop at the Hypocrite station. Ask Amy Grant. Is she still alive?
(And did anyone else - besides you, Darla - think that Amy's most successful single-for-pagans was called "Vavvy Vavvy?")

Oh. Anyhow. I take no real pleasure in doubting that Katy Perry's actually a cute girl under the 10 pounds of slap she's always got on.

You know those lame shirts that say, "My Eyes Are Up Here" or something to that effect (though saying it on a shirt totally negates the point - sure, your eyes are up there but your shirt's slogan is right there and I can't read with my tits, Miss Thang, so relax)?
Yeah, so, I stared at Katy Perry's tits, and then I wanted to point out that her lipline starts there. Where her lip actually is, not 2 inches under her nostrils. Personal pet peeve. Moving forward.



Because ultimately, she may plead poverty but you and I both know she's still making more money than oh, let's say, me. And by she, I mean her parents. You know they're good Christians like that.

But considering the illusion netting evidenced above, if the third-time's-the-charm music career (paging that chick - edit: NOT - from American Idol) doesn't pan out, perhaps Little Miss Perry can spin what's left into "UR So Gay - On Ice!"

*note: sorry for the slapdash-and-unoriginal-observation post but work is ... underwhelming today, shall we say, and I can't really muster the whelm to write more, or better.

Happy Lincoln's Birthday!

Which one of you was long-awaiting this?



I'm just genuinely curious. Is it for the Magnum, P.I.  crossover episode? No offense to Mr. Delta Burke and The-Other-Simon, but they were dull as dishwater when I was a tot. Give me Tom Selleck (aka my dad's doppelganger) any day!

I can't help but see some similarity between this video:





And this:



Yeah, so, I'm fond of frivolous pop songs and, well, KISS (it's a fondness-cum-bemusement. Have you seen KISS eXposed? I can't recommend it enough ... after at least 5 shots of Wild Turkey. 101, son, not that 80 proof bullshit.)

Rihanna may have the leg up: she had a bigger budget (I hope), better dance moves and boss Ballenciagas all over the place.

But KISS had a monkey knife fight!

What's that? Sorry, not monkey, more like the love child of Diahann Carroll and LaToya Jackson.


Right?
And she can fence in 4-inch heeled booties (the likes of which may rival the Ballenciagas)!

And ... um ... there's Gene's thorough commitment to his post-apocalyptic survivalist sub-character, what with the live grilling of meat (complete with foley'd fat crackling) ... and, oh, the first incarnation of Gene's George Washington-stylee toupee.


Eesh.

Point: Rihanna, for drawing the line between faux freaks and Vinnie Vincent.

I have to go eat more Dayquil now. Come on Bart, the Coast Guard's
covering the Doob'!

When I was in high school, I did not watch Cabin Boy. I did, however, watch the Academy Awards wherein Letterman spoofed his cameo (no offense to Chris Elliot, but truly the only funny moment in the flick).

Over, and over, and over, and over again. My friends and I, at slumber parties, would choose who we'd "play". Yeah, we were such rebels. Such bad Catholic school girls.

Anyhow. FINALLY, the skit's online. Enjoy it while you can!

I've said it elsewhere, but I'll try any foodstuff once. I can count, on one hand, without using all my fingers, what I don't like: uni (to paraphrase that ball-licker Andrew Zimmern, it's a textural issue) and breakfast foods served with maple syrup.

Gulp. Seriously, just thinking about maple syrup makes my gorge rise.

See, when I was in elementary
school my sister and I were stuck in a carpool with some neighbor kids. Darla and I were friends with our same-grade counterparts, so it wasn't vile and forced on us or anything. And when our mom drove, all was well.

But we dreaded the days Mrs. Their-Mom drove. First off, the entire family was always running late. Always. Sure, there were two more Thems than Uses to get groomed and garbed, but still. Get up a little earlier. The threat of a tardy loomed large more often than not, and this was back when those things mattered. I could've, like, gotten sent to my room or swatted with the ol' wooden spoon or something! (but probably not, since my folks knew Darla and I weren't to blame.)
Second, and far more scarring in the long term, was a symptom of running late: breakfast in transit. And breakfast for these kids was usually an Eggo waffle balanced precariously on a paper towel, sopping with maple syrup and margarine.

Gulp. Again. This is going to be tough to get through, people. My gag reflex hasn't worked this hard since ... the last time I was hungover (ha! thought I was going to get good and gutter-y, didn't you?)

You could argue that maple syrup doesn't smell bad. Yes, I guess I can see your point. But get my point that it gets really cloying really fast, when air circulation is at a premium and you're cheek-by-jowl with 4 kids in the way-back of an elderly Chrysler T&C station wagon with cracked plastic seats.
You know, like this:



You know how those plastic seats get a certain ... funk to them, when they've been exposed to the elements (sun, syrup and general grooming malaise)? Combine that with the fog of fresh syrup and it's a wonder I kept my own (eaten at the comfort of our kitchen table an hour earlier, TYVM) breakfast down.

Shudder. I can smell it still. Ooh, there's that tinge of underwashed, unbrushed hair, and the faint undercurrent of urine (where/who the HELL was that coming from??) too. YES!

I just can't do it. I'm not a breakfast person to begin with, but offer me waffles and I'll offer you the backside of my strong pimp hand.

I have a point besides a scoot down Maple Memory Lane. Whilst riding the elevator up to the office this afternoon I saw a headline on the asinine (but preventer-of-undesired-conversations) ticker thinger:
Want aluminum with that?

To wit, "high levels of aluminum -- sometimes found in pancake and waffle products -- may be linked to the risk of neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's." (
source)

VINDICATION! Granted, it's not against maple syrup directly, but I live in unholy fear of debilitating mental decline in my rapidly-approaching old age, so knowing I'm at slightly less risk for something like Alzheimer's makes me smile for the first time in days.


Gag me with a spoon. Ha!

As heard while watching hour 9,000 of Forensic Files sometime this week (I've been sleeping badly since Tuesday - email if you want to know why but I think it's obvs):

"Watch Most Shocking at 9, followed by an even more shocking Most Daring at 10, right here on TruTV (cue slogan)!"

... um. If Most Daring is more shocking than the eponymous Most Shocking ... gosh, I don't know. Thanks, TruTV. My head hurts!

My birthday is coming upon me, y'all! I don't want to say hint hint but ... peep this!

Comin straight outta crib-town! Each of these 10-inch hooddlers is A-Listing in the play ground (sic, in case that isn't obvious). Rockin fabtastic clothing and so much baby bling that other rug rats can only catch their vapors. (if something this appalling makes a Biz Markie reference and no one gets it, does Biz Markie get his wings? What?)

Series 1 set of 4 contains:


Pookie: The green-eyed baller. But dont make him cranky... ya wouldnt like him when he's cranky. Featuring a thermal shirt, t-shirt, dew rag (DEW rag??), ring, and pimped out pacifier necklace.

Rey Rey: From around the way way (oh, sweet Jeebus), a playa who is 1 with all the shorties. Features a hoodie, skullcap (what? His skull isn't even fused together yet!), camo jacket and shorts. He represents with his "GB" dog tags.


Big Deuce: (judging by his expression, Big Deuce just dropped a ... ah, you see where I'm going with this) Everyone knows this lil' shot caller is runnin things (but ... he's white ...?). Features a baseball hat, shirt (that says "Crunk On Board" - am I belying my own ig'nance in asking what that even means?), cuffed jeans, and white do rag (at least Big Deuce gets a proper do rag ... er, yes), diamond ring, gold rope bracelet, and crown pendant.

On an unrelated note, is it me or does ol' Bushwick Bill look more like Leprechaun here?


I think it's the goatee.

To wrap this up, ANTM-stylee: Yo.
