Write That Down Everything's Funny To Someone. |
Friday, September 23, 2005 And Here's Rick With Traffic and Weather On one of the daily newscasts this morning was a story about a north end barbeque restaurant who was getting flack from the city's historical society because the mural of three pigs on the side of their building didn't jive with code. After the taped segment, the newscaster remarks only slightly sarcastically, "truly a community in crisis there. We'll be sure to keep you informed on how it all turns out." I just about snorted my coffee. posted by ben | 5:57 AM | (0) comments Friday, September 09, 2005 Heavy, Man I love listening to someone trying to describe to someone else a person who's fat, without saying as much. Especially if they're talking about a woman. "Who's Sarah?" "Oh, you know her. She's got sort of shoulder length brown hair. About this tall. Youngish, doesn't wear glasses. Uh, works in AP. Real sweet girl. Kinda shy." "Huh, I can't picture her." "She brought those cupcakes to the barbeque last summer, remember?" "Not really." "Well, they were gone really quickly." It's like listening to a white person trying to describe a black man. posted by ben | 4:55 AM | (0) comments Saturday, September 03, 2005 Halcyon Days Remember when people were talking about indicting Karl Rove for treason?
