this one's a little frightening... looking through my statcounter hits, someone found this page by searching via ask.com "what would happen if i stuck a live baby weasel up my ass?" on the plus side, i don't seem to have been in the top twenty pages, so this is someone so desperate for said information that s/he was willing to check every lead, no matter how remote.

next time, people, let's make it "what would happen if we stuck a live rabid mongoose up dubya's ass?" or, for the sake of relevancy, "what would happen if we grabbed john mccain by the asshole and turned him inside out?" (answer: a thirty percent decrease in republikkkan shit)

every flake of fucking snow isn't newsworthy.
sincerely,
the residents of st louis



last night, st louis was blanketed by a soft white coat, dulling sound and insulating the ground. two inches of snow. to hear the news people last night, we were going to have to tunnel our way to the grocery store to fight our fellow citizens for milk and bread (*). apparently, 25 years ago yesterday, st louis was hit with the blizzard of '82. what the local news people don't seem to realize is that that was in fact twenty-fucking-five fucking years ago. who the hell cares what the weather was like 25 years ago? what will it be like tomorrow? i don't have to go to work 25 years ago.

(*) why milk and bread? when i hear it's going to snow a lot, i try to get to the store for beer, whiskey, and tomato paste. god knows we don't want to run out.

yesterday on the radio, i heard a walgreens commercial. it's a paraphrase at best, but here's what i heard, more or less.

"understanding your pharmacist's advice isn't always easy, but if you don't speak english, it can be even harder. that's why at walgreens, we are capable of printing instructions sheets in fourteen languages. if the walgreens you're at doesn't have someone who speaks your language, they'll call a walgreens that does. that's our way of serving you better."

at no point did they stop speaking english, or even mention the name of another language that might clue non-english speakers in to what they were talking about. if you at least said "spanish," one might think that enough people would hear that and know to at least ask.

idiocy knows no bounds. donde esta la gente inteligente?
