Common Sense

Chubs died at 9:30 last night. My mom held him in her arms and he wanted to wag his tail and be the happy dog he was supposed to be. But he was just too tired. Finally, he just wanted down so that he could lay down and “go night night” for the last time.
Mom […]

I’ve become such a regular at Two Minnies, the strip club, that me, a waitress and two of the dancers are supposed to go play pool at Cricket’s Sunday night. Lexi seemed like she would want to back out because “I’m don’t know how to play pool.” But Autumn and Tracey will go, so long […]

My beloved puppy Cherub Rock is sick. We noticed this morning that he didn’t really want to move or come when you call him, which is very unlike him. He craves attention and he’ll stand on top of The Jesus to get petted first.
He also hasn’t eaten since yesterday. He looks so emaciated; I can […]

No, not the Lege. You should have learned by now that I quit paying attention to that unimportant body some time ago.
While Common Sense Mom was away on her Caribbean Cruise, I usurped her bedroom. I weighed the pros and cons:
Pros

Cooler all day long, unlike the sauna that my bedroom is.
Nearer the bathroom, so there […]

Thanks largely to the one-two-three punch from Buena Vista’s “Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End,” Paramount’s “Shrek the Third” from DreamWorks Animation and Sony’s friendly neighborhood “Spider-Man 3,” the four-day Memorial Day weekend was one for the record books. The total boxoffice for the 109 films tracked by The Hollywood Reporter was $255.3 million […]

Apparently, rehab isn’t what I think it is because people keep checking in and out and when they’re out they’re doing exactly what they went to rehab to stop doing.
This is what rehab did to Lindsay Lohan for fuck’s sake. But the Daily News says she’s headed to the Promises rehab facility, which I’ve […]

Like that protest this morning at Chet’s office. An enterprising reporter would have been there, camera in hand ready to take some quotes. I stayed up all night watching the Jaws-athon on Encore and didn’t get to work until after 8 p.m.

Everyone was sure he was. In fact, I think he was sure he was. But the Austin American-Statesman says no. And Gardner Selby would know these things.
So that’s that. Ring is still open (ding, ding Chet).
(Ed. Note: I’m not Texas Nate on MyDD. I’m just Nate, which is why I keep demanding you guys all […]

(Ed. note: Joe Weather advises me that this was edited after the fact with animal porn. In my own fantasy world where I  run the control room, I would have gone to YouTube and looked for videos of guys collecting elephant semen… wait, I already did that. Maybe I can get a job working for […]

I waited one year to see what was going to happen, dutifully mind you, and I have to say, I was a little underwhelmed.
That’s not to say Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End wasn’t a good movie. Or that it wasn’t a great movie that I’m sure will shore up Disney’s summer tent-pole season. […]
