If it makes you feel better, we may elect a governor named Kinky.
The country musician / mystery writer? Ride 'em Jewboy?
And boys -- let's watch the swearing.
Mayor ,'Chosen'

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
Yep. Our governor is mostly a figurehead anyway; so as Kinky says "Why not?"
Hey, my mom's friend is running for mayor of my hame town (she's very qualified, was a jounalist and worked under the last mayor.) She filmed several commercials at mom's house. That's gonna be bizzare when I go home. (One of them features the bedroom I sleep in).

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Neville Gittens?! Neville Fucking Gittens?!?! Who would name their child that? And why would they become a cop?
I could see wanting some authority over others after growing up with that name.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
It's the whole 'Boy named Sioux' theory in real life.

H. Crap, I read this as Little Richard Greico.
Huh. Me too, and I never even questioned it until your post.
Kinky's still running? Right on.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
OMG so funny:
A little while ago I put together a little application on our phone system so that when a telemarketer calls in, I can transfer them to this extension and annoy the hell out of them. I thought about it a bit more and decided to make it a little more interesting, so I can get them to hold on the line as long as possible. Today I recorded a bunch of different voices sounding really interested in what a telemarketer would be offering. Have a listen:

What is even happening?
H. Crap, I read this as Little Richard Greico.
Me, too. I'm glad you posted this, bon bon, because I couldn't remember how to spell Greico's name, and was too lazy to go to imdb.
Jesse, if you get a foot cramp again, flexing the foot sometimes undoes it. Also stepping flat on the floor (not carpet, something cold, like a kitchen or bath floor) can help undo it.
Tom, what does he say on the recordings? I just spent last night and this morning getting rid of random Trojan virus files, and am too gun shy right now, to open the mp3.

It's a recording of an actual telemarketer trying to get him to sign up for a free phone, with his voice on a loop saying things like "That's GREAT!", "Tell me more!", and "I'm really interested!".

I am at work and I am not happy about it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Wait. I thought being the governor of Texas was the kind of big-deal job that would prepare someone for even bigger things. Are you saying our president doesn't actually have relevant experience?!?!

Oh yeah, I do all that. This cramp was flexing and standing resistant. For a bit, anyway. It did finally go away.
