I feel so much better...

We can all be relieved that the incredible corruption endemic in this administration will come to an end. The remedial ethics courses (ordered by Bush himself) have started! Who did they get to teach this course? A dude named Richard Painter. Nevermind that he comes from the same office that produced the torture memos, but his biggest claim to ethics fame was determining that there was no conflict of interest involved in the famous Cheney/Scalia duck hunt... I'm guessing that after a few of these classes, everyone will fire themselves. Oh, and here is a pic taken of the blackboard during one class, and an actual snippet of Karl Rove's notes...

I'm a...

I suggest you go check out the latest news about the one true faith, if you haven't lately. A plush representation of this almighty went for over $500 on ebay:

Merry Christmas to all and may you all be touched by his noodly appendage...

Just like when I was in school...

A substitute teacher was arrested after kids reported that he was snorting a white powder DURING CLASS!! What is with these rat kids? The man needed a pick-me-up and they call in the fuzz? I know that I never told on my teachers. Whether they were stoking up a crackpipe or heating up a spoon, I had respect for my teachers. I would have especially liked to have respected this teacher:

Despite my daily fantasies, none of my female teachers (hot or not, and none of them looked like this) ever took advantage of me. Of course, throw this disturbed, yet hot chick in with a bunch of cops, and justice will prevail. Check out this exert from the wikipedia take on the matter: (yes, wikipedia covers even this minutiae)

A sensational highlight to this case came to light in September 2005 when it was revealed that the Temple Terrace, FL, police ordered explicit nude photos be taken of Lafave's genital area while her feet were bound up in stirrups. The officer who ordered the photos was later charged with soliciting a prostitute and downloading pornography at work. He resigned after also being caught trying to cover up his actions on police department computers.

Good thing the police looked into the matter...

Thai and Bling Bling

Please Excuse my long dry spell with Ho Hum, but things have been too complex lately to dabble with any of my hobbies (which include Ho Hum, speedo-donning, puppy-snuggling, saving beachcombers, and driving around in a talking car). Here is a short bit of Ho Hum to get me back in the groove.

Me and the lady (that would be my lovely wife, BEEzetta) went to Chicago a couple of weekends ago and visited some of her (and my) friends from grad school. This trip reconfirmed the standing of my favorite restaurant in downtown Chicago, Vong's Thai Kitchen. You can here my last raving about it on this old post from Ho Hum. Whilst at Vong's, Vijay (like BEEzetta, an India-born Indian) pointed out that one of the guests looked like Edie Falco from The Sopranos.



We all quickly agreed that it indeed was Edie Falco. Sangheeta (Vijay's wife) noted that she was decked out in lots of "bling bling" (please add Indian accent for maximum effect) and it was true, she was dressed as loud and bright as Carmella Soprano. We decided to enjoy the awesome food and not bother her, but it was a fun addition to the dinner, nonetheless.

Mad Blogger

My friend Rob sent me this amusing article about blogger Byron Crawford, here are Rob's own words:

He's a U City Blogger whose main penchant is FUCKING with people, esp. Kayne West ... pretty funny shit, coming from one brother cracking on another. This article in the Riverfront Times got my curiosity up. Take a twirl around his site. Some harsh shit.

(U City is short for University City, which is the hip part of the St. Louis area that is home of Washington University.)
Personally, I'm so far out of the mainstream (musically) that I wouldn't know a Kanye West song if it came up and bit me on the ass, and I had no problems with his public berating of our shithead President, but I did enjoy this blog nonetheless...

Nostradamus would be jealous...

Check out this Onion article put out right after the 2000 "election." Be sure to read it all and count how many times it is right on the nose... funny, yet eerie stuff. And once again, like with the toads, I'm stealing from Matt. The Man won't let him post on his blog any more...

On Pudenda and Lickable Toads

I had to post this just in case you haven't received this clipping from the email humor circuit. Just click on the pic and give it a read.

Here is an analysis of its legitimacy, and here is a little story about licking toads... I'll let you research pudenda on your own.
