Puppies are bouncing around enthusiastically. Now they get to go out on the porch!

That certainly makes for a nice Monday, KR.

OOh. Exciting Barbie news!

The future really is here! Not only do we have a black president, but Mattel has finally sanctioned a fishnet-wearing, corseted doll titled Goth Punk Barbie. Here she is. Goth. Punk. Barbie:

GPB (above, left) was released as a $70 collector’s item for Hard Rock Cafe, and makes quite a pair with Black Canary Barbie (right), a version of Barbie based on a comic character that drew fire from religious groups earlier this year for her BDSM appearance.

I'm not in the habit of falling down while naked, but the handful of times it has happened I managed to land without being accidentally penetrated by suspicious household objects. Perhaps there's a cerain level of accident prone-ness beyond which one should know better than to perform chores that require balance while wearing no clothes.

I sense a profitable business venture: "Reverse Chastity Belts - for the clumsy Vicar in your family!"

And veering the conversation away from Tubers Gone Wild, they've cast the faculty for the Fame remake-- [link]

Actors Megan Mullally, Kelsey Grammer, Charles S. Dutton, Bebe Neuwirth and Debbie Allen have been tenured. The quintet has been chosen for administrative and teaching roles in the remake of "Fame."

Mullally, who will play a voice instructor, graduated from the School of American Ballet; Grammer, who will play an orchestra conductor, attended Juilliard; Dutton, who will play an acting teacher, went to the Yale School of Drama; and Neuwirth, who will play a dance teacher, has won two Tonys.

Actress and choreographer Allen, who played dance teacher Lydia Grant in the original film and won a Golden Globe for her role in the spinoff television series, will appear in the updated version as Principal Simms.

I love, love, love the idea of Grammar and Neuwirth both being cast in this.

Just once, I want a news story where the victim is honest. "Yeah, Doc, I shoved it up my ass to see if it felt good."

I delivered 6 gallons of gently used cooking oil to a guy here in town who has modified his Mercedes diesel to run on vegetable oil. How fucking cool is that? HIS CAR RUNS ON VEGETABLE OIL! I should have asked him to see it. I bet his car smells like french fries.

Uh, then again, mine does, too. Sometimes.

Yep, they tend to do that.

I thought biodiesel was supposed to be as bad or worse than gasoline when it came to polluting. Which is such a shame.

He doesn't convert it to biodiesel. He actually just uses the vegetable oil. Not sure if that's better.
