Sadly, no. I was worried there'd be those worms that crawl into people's ears.

Ponies?

If we're all going to get tax cuts, let's get ponies too. And free beer.

Cambié para agregar: Soy una Timotea de gramática.

Shouldn't that be Tima instead? Since "Timmy" is a diminutive form of "Timothy," the Spanish analogue would be "Timo"* which is a diminutive of "Timoteo."

* With the corresponding feminine form being "Tima".

ETA: I think "me" should be "mi" (that is, if you were trying to indicate a possessive). But then again, what do I know? My first language wasn't Spanish and I don't live in Texas.

If you know something about birth charts, can you maybe explain this one to me?

Dude, please. Beer with my tax cut?

Promise me wine with my tax cut and then I'll vote for you in the primaries.

P.S. your birth chart says you're a slow learner on the Mason Dixon line. So stay away from there.

Then I'm not a true cat person. I know for sure that the only reason my 2 cats don't leave me for a better gig is that they don't have opposable thumbs to open the front door and I won't let them out. So I must own them.

Is the humane society aware of this? I thought some court had struck down the "enemy combatent" thingy and you weren't allowed to treat beings born in the US this badly.

I assume you mean "your sex-rap" as in my game. Do you really walk around saying shit like "sex-rap?" And if so, can you hear how stupid you sound or are you completely oblivious?

Ah! A variation on the Chewbacca defense. Well played!

Green River killer's car for sale

Quote on ebay...Whoever purchases this vehicle has the legal right to know who the former owner was on the vehicle.The former owner was Gary L. Ridgway all so known as the Green River Killer this is the facts of the car I am not looking to get rich off of the sale of the car I am only asking $12,000. I purchased the vehicle in 1996 directly from Gary Ridgway from an ad in the Kent News Journal. At the time no one knew he was the Green River Killer, I do not know him personally and at the time he was a very likable person. I was contacted by the Green River Task Force last year and asked to notify them who buys the car.If you want a car with history this has it. My wife said it's time to sell she does not like driving in the car.

I understand the wife not wanting to own the car anymore, but the statement that he is not looking to get rich by asking $12k for an '89 Sable with 120k miles is pushing the limits.

I know many of you are curious as to what it's like to live in the host city of a Super Bowl, and many more of you are curious for a glimpse of the world offered by the unrestricted celebrity party access of a World Ruler.

This sort of access was not required for my first celebrity sighting. As I left work a Mercedes flanked by 4 valets with a car cover over the windows was going the wrong way up a one way street. They eventually had to lift the car cover for him to steer and I say a white guy with gray hair. I don't know who he was, but anyone doing anything this obnoxious obviously has the desperate need for attention that comes with celebrity. Like anyone would notice a white guy in a Mercedes in Houston.

Surely, it would be better at the Maxim Party, this year's hottest ticket. Limos and Lades are so played out. So I went to the bustling Galleria area to look for more stylish transport. Unfortuantely, I was delayed for a couple of hours after I asked a cop if he knew where I could get a good Hummer for $300. This misunderstanding was quickly cleared up, but I was late getting downtown to catch the shuttle to the Maxim Party. When I learned the party was being held in a secret, undisclosed location, I decided not to go. Fuck that. I didn't make myself look this good just to hang out in Cheney's lair. Been there, done that.

I decided to go the BET Party being held at the Pavillion. Having watched BET late at night a few times, I was pretty sure of the kind of party this would be and certain that I could establish myself as "down with it." Because of my delays, many others arrived at the party before I did.

Including the Fire Marshall. I must grudgingly admit admiration for this guy. Nobody knows how he is or how he got his job. He just shows in his little uniform, announces the place is at capacity, and no one - advance ticket purchasers, celebrities, World Rulers - I mean NO ONE gets in until somebody else leaves.

During my wait, I was able to gaze longingly through the window at good times being had inside. e/o and OddMan were obviously the hit of the party. The dj even dedicated the evening to e/o's ass. Coltrane was dancing in a cage with tassles on his nipples (don't ask me to explain - I'm just reporting facts) while Sequels seemed hypnotized by a man palming a basketball. She was calling him Daddy, but they did not appear to be related. I'm sure he was somebody famous. I am also sure I spotted many other celebrities through the window, but, well, it was dark. I have heard - this is just rumor - that Thurgreed received an image award, something about being seen with the Ratio Girl that's good for his image or something. Bear in mind this is unconfirmed.

Dejected and tired of waiting for enough people to exit the party (doesn't anyone leave their drugs in the car anymore?), I headed home, but not before stopping at the exclusive Super Bowl convenience store event for a few Beck's 20 ozers (keepin' it real, dawg). The parking lot was standard Super Bowl transports - more limos and Lades.

The store itself was full of the limo drivers fetching refreshments. As I'm sure you are aware, limo drivers are fertile sources for exclusive Super Bowl gossip. For example, I learned that Catbird's will be serving free hotdogs during the big game. The phrase heard most often yelled out the door? "No Cristal. Is Corona okay?"

I finsihed off this exciting evening watching exclusive celebrity Super Bowl coverage outside some of the parties on our local 24-hour local news channel. A reporter discussed strategies for spotting celebrities with some of the locals. This hard-hitting look at celebrity-spotting concluded with the best quote of the Super Bowl so far. "If I was a celebrity, I would help them," he said. "But then if I was a celebrity, I wouldn't be on News 24 Houston."

I will continue to provide updates. I am headed to the Galleria this afternoon, and I'm sure I will spot an offensive lineman or two inside Urban Outfitters.

P.S. More on the guy who tried to hit on Tara Reid but she was too fucked up to talk as details emerge.

Berry's plan for tiger riles Fund for Animals

Halle Berry is getting what-for from the Fund for Animals. She has been urged by the wildlife protection group not to turn a rare Bengal tiger from the "Catwoman" movie set into her personal pet. Various press reports indicate that Berry wants to keep the tiger, who has already caused havoc by attacking a film executive's fish tank. (Has she forgotten the tale of cat munchie Roy Horn from Vegas act Siegfried & ?)

The fund warned that keeping tigers in captivity is not only cruel, but extremely dangerous.

In their natural habitat, tigers live in evergreen and monsoon forests and have large home ranges of up to 400 square miles. Tigers also have complex nutritional and emotional needs which, in captivity, require expensive and expert veterinary care. Even those people who have the best of intentions ultimately expose captive tigers to inhumane conditions, the Fund maintains.

Much more to report, but I need to get the hangar. Look for me on tv. I'll be in the black herlicopter.
