NEVER JET HOT

"My dog is worried about the economy because Alpo is up to 99 cents a can. That's almost seven dollars in dog money. - Joe Weinstein

I noticed the martial arts school over by the freeway is now a chiropractor's office. The lettering on the sign is bigger too.

So I'm trying to wake up, I turn on the TV to watch the garden show "Lawn Order" but I get this cop shop instead. The bad guy stole Teresa's nickname "Drano" (His because he "gets things moving", hers because she helps money go "down the drain") Anyway, a jeweler turns up dead, apparently he had sold Drano a fake jewel-encrusted Kermit the Frog necklace for his girlfriend, Serenity. What the hell is the world coming too? I got up and decided to look up the ending on the Inter-nut, although I have a pretty good idea that Drano is going down, if you know what I mean. Unfortunately, looking up "Law and Order Drano" directed me to falseallegations.com - a compilation of real court transcripts, the first one about child custody, part of a group of cases they call "The Drano Series", I can't handle reality this early in the day, so now I'll never know what happened. If you saw that episode, please leave me a comment!

I know a strict "buy American" guy, he's upset because he just discovered that Airbus is building some part for the Boeing 787. That sort of thing bothers him- Personally I think in 50 years we'll all be working for Megalo-Bush-WalMart Co. or The Southland Corporation - There will be only two companies and the bosses will constantly call each other on the phone and taunt each other. This was all predicted on The Jetsons, except it was Spacely Sprockets and Cogswell Cogs."

kiyotei's den turned me on to the concept of postcard art exchanges... check out the "time machine" postcard on his blog there...

Well, we went to Archie McPhee's Novelty Store in Ballard today... spend like eighty bucks between the four of us, which wouldn't be a lot until you consider what was purchased... Let's see... A magnetic footrest (I'll try anything once!), A button that says "I love work- I could watch it all day", some postcards, 3D and otherwise, giant dice, A tiny Eames chair for my little Buddha (Someone found him in the GARBAGE at the place I used to work!) a disco ball, and I don't know what all... Wonder if this is all tax-deductible as research. And then we talked about it at Dick's Drive-In in the U-district... That should be written off too.
