mah children need wine
6:28 PM
I found this today in a thread on one of the NY Times message boards. An engaged couple had posted a serious question asking for suggestions on which wine to select for their wedding reception in the Napa Valley. Sandwiched in a whole host of serious responses was the following:
We feel your pain. My priest and I have discussed your problem and think we have a solution to your dilemma. After much debate, we think your choice should be the 2000 Boone's Strawberry Hill. First, it is easy to find: it is highly accessible as it is found in your finer 7-11's or Circle K's. Think about it, if the wine runs low at the party a quick trip to the nearest Sav-on saves the day. Second, impress, impress, impress: all of your TRUE friends will appreciate the simplicity of the screw top after they are half drunk. This is a Compton district vintage that is especially good with most any food but we recommend an empty stomach. The bouquet will turn the heads of your guest as they have memories of cruising the loop on a Friday night. Third, cost: At $3 a bottle you will have plenty of money left over for your honeymoon where you should be spending your money anyway. No need on wasting money on more pretentious wines like Andre or Franzia. So, there you have it. This is a no brainer.

waxing escapist
9:37 AM
I've added a new alternative career fantasy to the growing list of other ways I could spend my time. Here are some of the current possibilities, both the real ones and those that have no chance of ever happening:

- Screenwriter ("You want explosions? I'll give you explosions.")
- Rock star ("Never had one lesson!")
- CEO of corporation that markets adult Underoos (Who wouldn't want a Wonder Woman sports bra?)
- University administrator (I'd wear a Wonder Woman sports bra under my power suit.)
- Successor to Sister Wendy ("No one's gonna keep me from groovin' on these nudies!")
- Professional muse ("Would you like tea with your inspiration?" Note to self: downplay crankiness in interviews.)
- Consultant to crack scientist team that finally invents the perfect method of birth control (Helena and I came up with this one a while back. I've always wanted to be targeted by the Christian Right as part the source of a wave of degeneracy. Sex for everyone!)
- Book store owner (Sort of like Rob Gordon, only without all the albums and lists. Oh, wait...)
- Space pirate ("Arg, matey!" A new item on the list. See this thread for specifics.)

And, the latest addition...

- Founder, holycrapimahomeowner.com and subsidiaries, holycrapimaparent.com and holycrapimagardener.com. Features on this series of sites will include:

"Spackle—Better than Peeps!"
"You Can't Roll Up It: Getting Out of a Drained Pool"
"I Can't Believe I Didn't Measure! Or, What to Do When 'Eyeballing It' Fails You"
