News, but not the serious kind
Come back, Sarah, it’s not too late!
Blog Guy, you look pretty upset. What’s wrong?
Are you kidding me? It’s the race for the 2012 Republican presidential nomination. All the potential fun is evaporating before my eyes!
What do you mean?
I still can’t believe it. Sarah Palin now says she’s not running!
Two days ago, New Jersey Governor Chris Christie opted not to run. Donald Trump flirted with a bid, then dropped out.
The great ones are disappearing, and it’s not even 2012 yet! How can I replace the likes of Palin and her version of Paul Revere’s ride? I may as well just hang up my blogging license and become an ornithologist!
Stake Night on the Vampire Cruise?
Blog Guy, I know you’re a travel expert, and I need some advice. I am a vampire. I would like to go someplace where I don’t feel, you know, different.
Maybe I can help. I just saw a story saying hundreds of vampire enthusiasts are planning a vacation cruise on the the Zuiderdam, tailored to their interests. It’s called “Vamps at Sea.” Maybe you should try it.
Where are they going?
Just where you’d expect for vampires. Great Neck, Little Neck, Throg’s Neck, Turtleneck…
Perhaps you’re still not clear, Blog Guy. Those are “vampire enthusiasts.” I am an actual vampire.
I do understand. If you’ve ever seen an episode of “CSI” or “Murder, She Wrote,” then you know there’s always one REAL murderer at these organized theme vacations. That could be you, blending right in!
Unca, I just think it’s wrong to condemn those poor hyenas to a cruise ship full of spammers and telemarketers. There is nothing the hyenas could have ever done to deserve that!
Giving us the creeps?
Blog Guy, last week you wrote about an opinion poll naming Casey Anthony the “most hated person in America.”
You said of the people who had heard of her, 94 percent didn’t like her. But you also said that 57 percent found her creepy. Was that a different poll?
No, just a subset of the same poll. Her 57 percent creepy quotient puts her right above O.J. Simpson, who scores a 56.
Did the poll find anyone creepier than Casey Anthony?
Only one person. Musician Marilyn Manson, who is practically off the charts creepy.
But aren’t being creepy and hated kind of similar?
Where’s fwd? I’m sure he would have enjoyed the beauty queens…or are his eyes stuck on just one duchess now?
Hey, there’s thuggage in your luggage!
Blog Guy, it’s July 6. Isn’t that the date you usually announce the coveted Doofus of the Year Award?
Indeed, but it was complicated this year. A last-minute entry snatched the title from someone I thought had an absolute lock on it.
So? So? The winner is?
Some guy who tried to escape from a Mexican prison zipped up in a suitcase, after a conjugal visit by his girlfriend.
How did this EVER seem like a good plan? I mean, was his visitor going to say, “Guards, I’m ready to go now. Say, can you help me with this extremely large, bulging suitcase I brought in for a one-hour conjugal visit?”
“Si, Señorita! This is a VERY fine suitcase! This is the kind you can push down the stairs, like this, and shoot with a pistol, like this, and set on fire, like this, and it still works, no?”
maybe the Mexican prison system could hire this guy to handle any outgoing suitcases http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=749iU2Zv1 kw&feature=related

@69Spinster: Hurl it high enough to come down on Sunday. That is when I make my gastronomic sojourn to the Texas State Fair.
Let’s see….Where should I begin? Fried pineapple upside-down cake, autumn pie, buffalo chicken in a flapjack, kraut balls, walking taco, and deep fried Texas Salsa. And let’s not forget the obligatory Corny Dog. I think I’ll pass on the Fried Bubblegum, though. I know, the grand finale should be the fried Lipitor and Alka-Seltzer. So many calories, so little time…
