another great find

my pal Josh has a pretty funny blog. Today he turned me on to this chart from a blog by Aden Nak - I laughed out loud :

It pretty much sums up what I thought of her. I still can't get over how some people actually thought she did a good job. A good job at what? Reading the cue cards? Remembering what John's "boot camp" team told her to remember? What am I missing here?

I will say this, though; I truly do feel sorry for her. She is clearly out of her league and it must be painful to know that. Surely she's not so ignorant taht she doesn't realize it.

Oh, one last thing, being raised a Pentecostal myself, I can tell you that no self-respecting Pentecostal would ever be caught dead, in church or out, in those 3" red pumps she had on. Me thinks the McCain team needs to learn a thing or two about the Pentecostal culture. The idea is to be humble (flats or low heels in Earth tones), not slutty (3" red fuck-me pumps). Then again, there are false prophets among us......

Pirates! In my adventure

Somebody asked today if I'd be a pirate. My answer was, yes, but not today, as in not this minute but yesterday; a classic pirate. Problem is, I don't think there were women pirates. Women who "serviced" pirates, sure, but pirates? Someone who knows piratical history better than me could answer that. What I know of pirates you could fit on the head of a pin.

However, I adore the pirate books by Gideon DeFoe.He's like Monty Python meets Christopher Moore. My personal fav of the series thus far is Pirates! In an Adventure with Ahab, though Pirates! In an Adventure with Communists is pretty good, too. You should really check out his website - he's a funny dude, then read the books.
