I Want William Shatner
You guys are on the wrong thread....nan's blog about us hitting the road in the bus is here: http://www.sandiegoreader.com/weblogs/come-rattle… Man, we gotta lay off the weed. Getting our threads all mixed-up and s***.— May 2, 2010 5:18 p.m.
Double Cheapburger
And, we are not designed to eat meat on a daily basis, three meals a day. The only reason we can afford to eat meat on a daily basis is because of CORN. Corn production is tied into our political system in ways that would outrage anyone with half a brain that cares to look into our so-called food production in this country. That which is eaten in this country, what we call "food", is Frankenfood at best. We do not raise livestock. We grow cows. The manner in which this occurs is disturbing, violent, disgusting and shocking. We do not suffer from protein deficiencies. We actually eat too much protein, in the form of animal products. McDonald's, in affiliation with high-fructose corn syrup, are the leading contributors to the alarming and sky-rocketing numbers of children being diagnosed with diabetes. You cannot tell me that eating this food is good for you. It is also tied into poverty and perpetuates the cycle of poverty by offering one dollar items. Rather than go grocery shopping (and by grocery shopping I mean fresh produce, not Kraft Macaroni and Cheese), these seductive "deals" make the effort of making a healthy meal for yourself or your family seem quaint, at best. Why cook when for half the price of the groceries you can feed them crap? No cooking, no cleaning, why, you don't even have to get yourself out of the car!! I have not eaten a fast-food meal in over a decade. Call me what you will, but I will NEVER support a company that produces such an evil product. That said, I'll always love Ed...— May 2, 2010 5:05 p.m.

Trip to the Final Frontier with Willie!!
The Linda Kay!! It looks so sad now, all abandoned :( Maybe on our trip we can stop by and see about getting the old girl up and running again so that the age-old tradition of getting knocked-up at the drive-in can continue on and fuel future generations of red-necks to name their little 'uns after it. I for one would be very sad to see this particular era come to an end. As for driving, SD, you are off the hook. I think JAS would be willing to come along as our driver. I think I detect a little "man crush" on William.....— May 2, 2010 10:45 a.m.
Trip to the Final Frontier with Willie!!
Well, sheeeeoottt, anti, bring 'em along. If anyone is adept in the ways of hillbilly apprehension we need 'em to make our plans go smoothly. WTF was the name of that drive-in movie theater anyway? I have to know. Okay, nan. I took welding in high school. No s***. I will be happy to wield an acetylene torch or an arc welder. Consider stripper poles installed. And if CF will rock the coconut shell bra and grass skirt sans undies, well all I can say is Mission To Be Accomplished.....— May 1, 2010 7:58 p.m.
Trip to the Final Frontier with Willie!!
Nan, the Texas Top Hands Western Swing Band Tour Bus is a beaut!! "do u think he'll catch on to that swingin' reference?" I doubt it. He will be stunned into submission by our band of merry merrymakers!! We will get him to speak famous Willie Nelson songs to us. And I shudder with anticipation at hearing the spoken word "To All the Girls I've Loved Before". Perhaps a duet with Leonard Nimoy filling in on spoken word for Julio Iglesias? Oh, be still my heart!!! Speaking of hearts, it is imperative that you, being a nurse, provide ample amounts of nitroglycerin and be skilled in the administration of it to our beloved William. We do not want to do irreparable damage. My whip has been known to bring on myocardial infarction and it is always a good idea to be prepared. Suzanne must give up her dream of a side cart, as we need her wits to drive the Texas Top Hands Western Swing Band Tour Bus. I'm afraid the rest of us may not be in the proper condition to steer our trusty "Priscilla" through the desert in our quest. I have faith that SD will maintain the required wherewithal to get us there. After that, we will be sure to elevate her to the level of intoxication necessary to lure William Shatner into our den of iniquity with a straight face. Plan - so far so good.— May 1, 2010 5:23 p.m.

Acme K9 Services: Part of what dog training is all about.
I have refrained from chiming in on this thread, but dogtown has sorely tested my restraint. "I don't hate dogs. I can't understand fawning inadequate people who put all there love and attention into them" Your arrogance is disgusting. I for one am thrilled that you stepped in dog poop. It's called poetic justice. I hope they were Cole Haans.— April 30, 2010 9:32 a.m.
Two poems by Nicanor Parra
"I have an acid blotter signed by Leary on May 25, 1996 -- 6 days before he died. It's the most delightfully subversive thing I own." OMG! You could start your own religion based on that alone!! Build a shrine - they will come. Sometimes I think that we will be given the answers to the universe based on the sheer odds of being born. If you think about the trillionsXXXX of cells that could unite to form a human being and that we are created out of a union of two people based on attraction, the odds against us even being here are too great to give a number to. Maybe the reward for enduring what we call "life" is something far greater.... I like the idea that we are evolving toward wisdom, but our brains are not equipped to handle the onslaught of technology that is consistently heaped upon us. More has happened in the last 100 years in terms of "progress" than any time in history. This has contributed to what we now refer to as "depression" and "anxiety". Rather than embrace wisdom, we are cultivating other human traits not so desirable, such as greed and violence. I suppose like nan said that "if we don't kill ourselves first", which is what I am afraid may happen, we will learn what is important and come to understand that peace, rather than financial gain and power, is the ultimate goal.— April 30, 2010 7:59 a.m.
