I will trim Aldous Huxely's claws in preparation.

I figured I could give the stickers to the grand kids. I'm a bad grandfather who happily married into the position.

A tote bag would go great with my Wonkette T-Shirt....

Yes, it's like Canada's version of The Wire, except for all the cussing and murdering and drug use. More of a comedy really. It was filmed entirely in Saskatchewan. Purchasing a copy on DVD will not just bring joy to your heart but is a valuable investment in your children's future. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wik..." target="_blank">" rel="nofollow noopener" title="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corner_gas">http://en.wikipedia.org/wik...

well i forgot to send you $$$ the other night.

BUT!! while i am newly (again) a member of the earnest hard-working job-having middle class, i just spent 1500 clams on my cat and a couple hundred on my fucking computer (FUCKING AGAIN FUCKING LENOVO/IBM WHATEVER) and $10 on some homeless guy outside cvs evanston and also i am looking at about a grand on the car repairs i've put off while i was gainfully unemployed as a full time actor.

so.

i don't think i can do the 2500K level.

but i am going to give you money now and won't you please come to chicago?

A real pledge drive needs endless dreck like Doo-Wop Reunion specials with boxed DVD sets as a thank-you gift for donations at the $250 level. A week or two of that and we'll pay anything to get back our usual fare of dick jokes and ass fucking references.

Incidentally, I just heard that the Car Talk guys are retiring. Maybe 'Becca can sign them on as columnists for the streaming version of Wonkette.

I thought about trying to rent a place away from 6th Street, South Congress, and UT and getting kegs, several handles of booze and mixers. I hang with some people who have huge BBQ rigs on trailers.

Don't try to tell me that Barb and Limey Lizzie are dudes.

What I hate about PBS pledge drives are the rockers I used to love AS THEY APPEAR NOW! I don't want to see what happens to people I idolized once time, gravity, and mileage takes its toll. Hell, I don't like looking at myself in the mirror!

You're sure they didn't say "mister-ectomy"?

Possibly. We raise pork on our farm as does our neighbor. If not ours it would be from Niman Ranch. Was your job north of the river (Congress Avenue Booksellers?

Okay then. But I'm pretty sure Baldar is a guy.
