There was a Sid and Marty Kroft amusement park in the Omni Hotel in downtown Atlanta in the mid-70's. My family was coincidentally there the week it opened, and my brother, my mother and I got stuck on a ride that was a giant pinball machine that you ricocheted around in a pinball-shaped car.

I seem to recall that we were on the local news after that incident.

I also recall a restaurant called something like "Pitty-Pat's Porch" where the waitress kindly brought me Shirley Temple after Shirley Temple, probably starting my love afair with cocktails.

Off to pack. La de dah.

My wife went to Pitty-Pat's Porch for dinner once where they served her this salad with apples, walnuts, and stilton cheese, definitely starting a lifelong hatred of stilton cheese.

So one of my clients is maybe being bought. Last night I got an email from the lawyer for purchaser saying "the deal is headed south fast."

Thing is, he is in Atlanta. I don't know if the phrase grew from some implication that the South is bad or broken, but whatever the origin I would think a Georgian lawyer would not use it, simply because it would seem to imply the negative.

Maybe he thinks it means Mexican?

Mexico. link. Or Texas, although some consider that the south.

I'm eating a Pure Protein Chocolate Deluxe Bar. It tastes like what I would imagine a large nugget of shit to taste like. Also smells gross. Do not eat these bars. This is a lesson learned by me so you don't have to (inspired by RT).

That kind of stomach is not that hard to get. In fact, aside from being fishbelly white (sexy!!), my stomach looks like hers. It's not that hard to get. All you have to do is never have children, employ three personal trainers, and go to the gym every morning but Sunday. In other words, be out of your mind, but in a focused, exercise-specific way.

But you look so golden-tan in your avatar.

Does she make you keep your shoes on when she around so she won't be reminded of it?

For that much money and that stomach, wouldn't you?

No. The money's one thing, but they weren't exactly starving before. I think Fergie is ugly and her body ain't that great.*

Please see in re: previous post [i.e. when you say Fergie's flat abs aren't "that great"] You are a loon bag. Her abs are awesome. See? Unreasonable Standards/Applied to all females.

He actually said her *body* isn't that great. He did not opine on her abs, in isolation.

I have been accused of this same thing. By fringy I believe. We are entitled to our opinion. What else do we have?

And I'll be off to pack in about 8 hours.

I haven't had produce in a bag in about 5 years. And even when I purchased lettuce in a bag, I washed it. Even though it says prewashed. Because, I guess, I could be a little OCD.

Lettuce is filthy. Spinach is sandy. You just can't wash that shit enough. But yeah, I almost bought spinach last week for a salad. Then I decided ravioli sounded better. Yay, no e-coli here.

She does that spray-on crap. Remember?

And I'm hoping that this investigation into Reggie Bush and the alleged money giving scandal does not affect his performance on the field this week. He's all I've got.
