Have you heard how these rubes pronounce "Houston"?

The rubes amongst whom you live, or the rubes amongst whom I live? I haven't noticed any weird pronunciation there, but then, maybe I say it wrong.

So how do they?

If you're a big shot lawyer- and straight- you really have no reason to be anywhere where it is pronounced. WTTW.

That is fucked up. Just that street, or do they pronounce the restaurant the same way?

For father's day?


Too late for father's day.

Next month, a company called Atech Flash Technology will release the iCarta, designed to let users listen to music while in the bathroom and features a toilet-paper holder.

The $99.95 iCarta's four speakers are designed to resist moisture, and the device uses AC power to charge the iPod while it's playing.
When contacted for comment by gadget Web site iPodObserver.com, Atech sales manager Eric Liu said: "We want to create something that is different and brings people joy for buying such products.

WTF? Even when I have a southern accent, the place only has 2 syllables.

NYers are seriously fucked up.

School's Out.

I was taking my truck to the dealer this morning to have some service done. As I'm driving along, I see one of those since with the movable letters. On the grass around the sign are a bunch of discarded letters. What was left read as follows:

"I wang fags."


I couldn't help but think with all the discarded letters, they couldn't have come up with something more imaginative -- but what do you expect from (I would guess) sixth graders?

The verb "to wang" is highly underused.

You all too busy wanging this morning to have anything to say? Or did everyone move to the west coast while I wasn't looking?
