Is it possible that you start dumping old ones when the new ones crowd them out?

On the way to drop off the oglet at school, I thought of a girl I had not thought of in a very long time.

She was the first girl ever to be actively nice to me, though she was a holy terror to everyone else. I expect she tried even her own parent’s patience.

I don’t remember her name, but I remember she eventually ended up sitting very close to the door through grade school because someone was always coming in to have to mop up her pee. The girl could pee at the drop of a hat, and she always did so with an exquisite timing- I expect she knew the precise moment when it would most disrupt the class.

We never laughed at her for peeing, because the rest of us were occasionally a leaky bunch as well. The classrooms at Holy Name School were not the warmest, and the urge to cut loose was common. Again, all the pissers ended up close to the door so it was a matter of little effort to get the mop. Lacking phones, Danny, the class puker, would run down and get the janitor who would hake his head and show up with a mop.

Anyway, I ramble. This girl, who I will call Sophie because I cannot remember her name, was fond of terrorizing all the other boys, but not me. One day, long before she had been moved to Pee Chair #1, she was sitting across from me and I saw her pulling a large rubber band out of her pocket. She proceeded to coat the rubber band with boogers and snot, harvested from a nose that never seemed to stop running. I did not understand. She demonstrated by stretching the rubber band to it’s limits and shooting it right at the back of Randy Bernhardts head, where he ended up with his hair full of congealed snot for the rest of the day.

Later she grew into a blonde beauty with a gap between her front teeth, who wore loose blouses and tight jeans, and all the boys were after her but she still only had eyes for me. In my epic obliviousness to the advances of women I took no notice, and she married a preacher from Omaha and had nine squalling brats, turning that tiny waist and flat stomach into a wasteland of moonpies and stretchmarks.

I do not know why that surfaced today, I really don’t. But there it is.

I often wish Mel had one more big movie like that in him, but G-d bless him anyway. Thanks for the laughs, Mel.

is on trial for corruption.

Quelle Surprise!

You know what would surprise me? if an elected official wasn’t corrupt, if a black politican anywhere wasn’t a racist, if a democrat anywhere on earth wasn’t a scumbag.

oh, wait.

nevermind. Still, I think they should just let him alone and let him go.

After he eats one of those damned schoolbuses.

In other news, the Midwest is blanketed in snow, several layers deep now. The front yard has a minimum of 3 feet and I have to keep a section of grass snowblowed so the dog has somewhere to shit. There’s no disaster area, no federal funding, no executive flyovers, and winter is nowhere near over- we will get more. I can only assume one thing: Obama hates white people. Just like Bush hated black people.

you and I know how damned ridiculous it sounds, but not everyone does. Morons.
