In the News
Just a random thought –
I’m tired of people I know turning up in the news for anything other than being the PowerBall winner. I would like to stop having bad things happen to people I know which are so bad they get to the news media.
Now, I’m sure all of you who are more closely affiliated with those who are negatively affected are thinking, “YOU’RE tired?!?…” Well, you know what I have to say to that? Only this:
Waa waa waa, blah blah holocaust, waa waa blah.

One of MissyG’s co-workers was in the paper and on the 6-o’clock news for having been hit so badly by a drunk driver (who crossed the median and hit her head on) that she is in a drug-induced coma and and her head/face are so swollen that even if she were alert she couldn’t see past her own puffed-out brow and cheeks.
Before that was K.
Before that was some blaspheming MoFo dressed up like Jesus!
; )
There is something comforting, however truly illusory, about the anonymity of NOT appearing in the news. That’s something that happens to THOSE OTHER people, not people we know and care about, you know? I don’t like being disabused of that notion if it isn’t about one of me and mine suddenly winning a year’s supply of Snickers bars or accidentally tripping and falling into a hidden cave filled with pirate booty.
Now that I mention it, I could use some good pirate booty! It’s just like normal booty, but she has to wear an eye patch and say, “Aargh!” a whole lot. And anybody that knows me knows I’m all about both booty and special costumes! I draw the line at peg legs, parrots on shoulders, and the fishy smell of the Seven Seas, though.
Aargh!

Hey my “dad” was in the paper dressed like a pirate several years back.
I hear Pirates have big booty’s or is it booties. UU
