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!"

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.

I bet his car smells like french fries.

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.

Oh, funny thing from this weekend. We were hanging out at a bar that was doing pretty bad karaoke. A bunch of my sister's high school friends showed up unexpectedly. Within a few minutes the quality of the singing had gone up about eleventy notches, and even the people just singing and dancing along around the bar were like they were in the freaking video or something.

My sister, of course, went to the High School of the Arts here. An acquaintance from the bar was all "what's going on in here?" and I just answered "Fame."

Bada BING. Love it!

According to the interwebs, straight vegetable oil (SVO) cars produce very few emissions. So, yay!

Both biodiesel and veggy-oil have the virtue of repurposing existing carbon in the biosphere (taking growing plant matter which took carbon from the air, and returning it to the atmosphere by burning) whereas petroleum uses carbon which was sequestered from the atmosphere millions of years ago and adds it to the existing burden.
