Jez. I have ordered via the internet my World Series memorabilia cap from the Tigers' glory days, in 1935.

Somewhat improbably, I now have reason to buy a Detroit Tigers cap.

Hank, I'm tempted to blame you for this.

Me too. Did you lose a bet to him or something?

Nah. Son's T-Ball team.

Admittedly, Hank somewhat resembled the commissioner of the kid's league, but without the headdress it's sometimes hard to tell.

You bastard. Having felt all virtuous for having chicken and steamed broccoli for lunch, you post that. Now I'll have to go out and get some cake for dessert or risk gnawing off my own arm later this afternoon.

Damn you, spookyfish!

Well, of course I have to lie! What the lie will be is the question...

Call some other parent - an accountant, preferably - and ask to switch dates, as you have some "unavoidable travel" that day. Then, do your day shortly after the accountant. You will shine.

Horseshit about the "open your mind" stuff. Hang out with someone tripping and you'll see the tripper's mind isn't "opening"; they are just becoming really annoying, pointing out really stupid shit (hey man, look at that red wall moving), and thinking they are discovering "new dimensions of being" whereas they are just unknowingly in a semi-retarded state they find aggrandizing unlike those around them. The worst was the Deadhead I dated who showed up at my apartment tripping and bored me to tears with a god-awful analysis of his most favorite thing in the world, the song "Tangled Up In Blue". I only dated him b/c he had long hair and was like really young, but he seemed more interested in tripping than pooty store shopping so out he went. Too bad. Those long locks (all one length; no mullets for me) and sandles and youthful pout made him look like a young Jesus which made me hot.

As for anti-depressants, I'd rather have the world around me on anti-depressants, if they're going to be on any drug. Nothing worse than depressed people. They're more annoying than trippers, slobbering all over you with their prooblems. And people on MAO inhibiters seem to drive better and also stay out of my face which is all I give a crap about. I don't mind cokeheads, but only in a dance club because they are more fun.

Hey, different strokes, etc... I dig the freaks. But your point does resonate with me. A few years back, some jackass kept telling me how he met Jim Morrison in a redwood forest in California. Idiot actually believed Morrison was alive. I so desperately wanted to throw him in the bay. Tortured me for four hours.

Why not? That one song they did was pretty good.

So as part of my son's social studies curriculum, each kid is having a representative (or representatives) of his or her family come it to talk about something. It can be anything really; your family's hobbies, family history, your job, whatever.

So, it's my turn this Friday, and of course I have the problem that any of us would have -- namely, our jobs are lame and boring, and kindergardeners could not care less about what lawyers do --but I have an additional hurdle: last week's visitor.

Last week's person was the father of a girl in the class. He's a secret service agent. So, not only did he show them his gun, the baton thing that shoots out of a handle, the handcuffs, the microphone-up-the-sleeve, and a bunch of other gadgets, but he gave them all presidential trading cards, stickers, little "Big Apple - Secret Service" badges (my son wore his all weekend) and a signed photo of GWB. But that's not all!!! He led the kids downstairs, where there was a bevy of secret service agents guarding the presidential limousine. The street had been closed off, and all the kids got to go through the limousine.

I mean, come on!! How am I supposed to follow that?!?

I work in a bank, so my only hope is to hand out $100 bills and tell them how we play Liar's Poker all day long. And then take them to Hawaii on a private jet that I have waiting on the street outside.

Can you pretend like the kids in class are traders and that they're being visisted by their brokers? I hear the kids like strippers and blow.

NOW you're talkin'.

I heard of a class visitor who decided the children would be riveted by a flow-chart and presentation of his company's quality control policy. If only I could've followed that guy.

I should have followed your advice re: slave, but I followed my heart instead. Alas!

Close your explorer window and go get some of the liquid chocolate heaven at starbucks before too many frustrated anger chemicals start producing free radicals in your bloodstream and associated wrinkles or whatever other uglifying stuff free radicals make.

Shit. No wonder everybody laughed when I picked him in the death pool this year.
