FIfty Shades of WTF

Boy oh boy.  Things have certainly changed in the last year and a half.  I've been out of romantic circulation. I relocated to Rancho Cucaracha for awhile and experienced a brief period of domestic bliss.  But as we all know, Uncle Rusty found a way to foul things up.

I ended up loading up with my bobble heads and chopper magazines and headed back to the peaceful confines of Radiation Valley.  I spent a couple months reestablishing my Mercenary/VCR Repair business.  Sitting in the double wide, watching Dr. Phil every day got me motivated to start dating again.  (BTW:  What happened to Oprah?)

I set up a date with Katy O'Bryan Epstein.  She goes to the same Irish synagogue I attend.  Sometimes I need to get back in touch with my socio-religious culture steeped in more than 2000 years of Talmudic tradition.  

A nice Irish-Jewish girl will be just the ticket to start dating again.  We went to Outback.  She had a kosher meal.and I had my usual Walk About Filet.  

During the dinner conversation, Miss Epstein asked me if had heard about Fifty Shades of Grey.  I thought we was talking about the Bulgarian underground economy.  "Sure." I said.

"Are you into it."

I really have no opinion on it.  But I didn't want to sound ignorant.  "You bet."  I replied

"Good.  Let's go back to my place, then."

I figured she had a copy of The New Economist she wanted to share with me.  I paid the bill and we headed back to her place.

Once she got back to her place she made me a margamarita.  She said she'd just gotten some Cialis from the Canadian online pharmacy.  I'm a big fan of recreational pharmaceuticals.  I didn't know what it was.  I assumed it was some sort of muscle relaxer or pain killer.

The alcohol did it's job and I got sleepy.  She told me to go lie down in her room.  Never being one to pass up a nap, I headed right in and snuggled up on the pillow.

I was awakened by the sound of thunder.  Or, so I thought.  I looked up and saw Miss Epstein dressed in a black vinyl dress, hip boots and long rubber gloves.  

HOLY CRAP!!  I started looking around the room.  There was assorted whips, chains and ropes.  She even had a paddle ball paddle.  In the corner there was a cattle prod and a horse collar.  What had I gotten myself into.  I just knew I was going to be sacrificed in some sort of wicken ceremony.

"I thought you liked 50 Shades?  Don't you like a little kink?"

"This is the new side of sex."

A new side of sex?  What the hell.  They've moved the good parts while I was away?  I was getting very confused.  Even more confused when I looked down at my crotch.  How did that happen.

I started heading for the door.  She zapped me with the cattle prod.  "You have to choose a safe word."

"How about GET THAT THING AWAY FROM ME!"

I bolted for the door.  She chased me onto the lawn with a  medieval  torture device.

I jumped into the trans am, hit the gas and threw rocks all over the Streamliner.

I through my Waylon Jennings tape in the 8 track.  The words to I Don't Think Hank Done It This Way echoed through the night.

So true Waylon.  So true.

Everything I need to know, I learned watching Groundhog Day

Nineteen years ago, Bill Murray started in Groundhog Day.  I is one of the most profound and life changing movies I have ever seen.  It is the Mr. Smith Goes to Washington of Marmot movies.  In 2006, the film was added to the United States National Registers for being culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant.  Look it up.  I'm not kidding.




After multiple viewing I finally realized the nexus of Director Harold Ramis and the great philosophers of western civilization.


Here is a sampling of the great lessons I've learned.

  • Trains don't swerve
  • Drunk is more fun
  • If your gonna shoot, aim high.  You don't wanna hit the groundhog.
  • Don't drive angry
  • Go to the Virgin Islands.  Meet someone.  Eat lobster and drink pina colodas.  At sunset, make love like sea otters.  That'll be a pretty good day.
  • It's never too early for flapjacks.
  • Call me Ringo
  • Nancy owns a dress shop and makes noises like a chipmunk when she gets "real" excited.
  • Television failes to captures the true excitement of a squirrel predicting the weathers.
  • $339.88
  • I'm a god.  Not THE God.
  • When Checkhov saw the long winter, he saw a winter bleak and dark and bereft of hope.  Yet we know that it is just another step in the cycle of life.  But being with friends and basking the warmth of their hearths and hearts, I couldn't imagine a better fate than a long and lustrous winter.
  • Say a prayer and drink to world peace.
Namaste my friends.

A wonderful day in Radiation Valley

Shut up Dwight

I'm up for it.

Where was this book last Friday?

I hope this explains it.

You know who you are.  Suck it.

Yes.  Sometimes it is.

Our nation's smallest state

I'm stealing your paper too.

In the words of the old country song:
She tore out my heart and stomped that sucker flat.

It's either the greatest halloween costume ever, or
an even greater baby sitting method.

Sometimes, you just need to build a pillow fort.

I though it was Frosted Flakes


Presented as a public service to all you ladies out there.

The hardest call I ever had to make

...and so goes internet dating
