She’s not there.
What do you do when your blogging time is limited? I’m sure many of you find yourself in this predicament.
I can only promise not to extend Billy Joel week into Billy Joel month.
My public service announcement for the week, for all the newbies heading off to college.
Studying on your bed is not likely to hurt your grades.
Things we should worry about: The poor can’t afford to eat right, and now I can’t afford to eat right.
“The Labor Department’s most recent inflation data showed that U.S. food prices rose by 4.2 percent for the 12 months ending in July, but a deeper look at the numbers reveals that the price of milk, eggs and other essentials in the American diet are actually rising by double digits.”
Mattel sues porn website over use of Barbie name. What Barbie isn’t a porn star? I always found it weird that adults would purchase hard plastic dolls with corset size waists, and hard plastic 36 D breasts, for their daughters to play with while still calling the vagina a pee pee or a yanni. Get a grip Mattell. Barbie has been pornographic since her inception.
Last week your friends made you fat. This week a virus makes you fat. I guess they decided they could make more money finding a cure for the virus than they could finding a cure for your choice of friends.

The New York post calls Pia a “cord cutter”. I just call her Miss Savage because she has hired me to fend off the National Enquirer with my umbrella.
Dave is having some interesting philosophical discussions, as well as an interesting discussion on how free speech may or may not extend to the blogesphere, and our right to delete or ban those we do not necessarily want from our blogs.
Zenpro is boxing and school is no longer out for summer.
The Prattler is back. A good thing because that is where I get all my opinions.
Mizzy B has video chronicled her trip back to San Francisco, hopefully the words will follow.
For those still coming here to look for Vampire Bitches with Long Fingernails, please go here.
For those who came via the google search “my good shit”, you came to the right place. The good shit is further back.
One more thing.. To the kind soul who emailed me to let me know that people do not go down on blogs and suggested I get my sidebar back…..you would be surprised what people will go down on.
And oh yeah, I think Frank Rich stole my book. The Greatest Story Ever Sold: The Decline and Fall of Truth from 9/11 to Katrina
Peace

I say, no to Billy Joel month.
Study on your bed will hurt your back.
And Mattel…what the heck, haven’t witnessed what kids put Barbie through?
Great post.
Frank Rich stole my heart–actually Alex Wichtel stole his. Can not wait for his book–the first lucid one on this century–yes, I’m very psyched
Read Dave’s posts and really liked them. Loved your comments on the blogging/censorship thing. It’s me who will be carrying your umbrella.
My blogging time, in fact, has been severely cut down. The only thing I can do is calm down and remind myself that I have no deadlines on my site, no one is breathing down my neck to get another blog done. When I realize that it makes a lot less stressful and I can come up with anecdotes easier.
If that doesn’t work, I just text B. and tell her, “You’re up tomorrow. Handle it.” LOL
I always studied on my bed. It must have been good, because I passed.
I like how you give us music to listen to while we’re reading your post.
For someone short on blogging time, you sure know how to bring the smiles!
Is it an old wives’ tale that eating sitting around makes you fat? I guess I’ve been going about it wrong, although you can’t argue with the results.
You’re opinion rich, I think.
When my blogging time is limited I come here, limiting my blogging time even more.
I can’t afford to eat vegetables.
I never studied on my bed, or if I did I fell asleep.
One of my sisters had a Barbie, the other never wanted one. The Barbie ended up broken - colored with magic marker. Would that mean any site with Barbie in the name was violating copyright?
Why can’t they just admit eating and no exercise makes you fat?
You may have heard rumors that I will go down on anything, but I’m really hard to please. I would go down on your blog any day. I don’t mind no sidebar. I’m beginning to like this look a lot.
irshspacemonk: No Billy Joel Month?????
Pia: Umbrella’s are for poking the paparazzi.
MoJo: I think I’m going to have to get me a partner soon. Show-off.
Inde: I sometimes did, although I often fell asleep only to awaken hours later and move to my desk.
DaveJ: Aw, how sweet.
Doug: I am beginning to think that is an old wives tale because I haven’t heard that one in years.
Jake: What can I say. I did hear that as a matter of fact. Your kind as always.
I never had a Barbie only shrimp on the barbie.
Cooper I got that. I meant shielding you….because I might get the totally stupid publicity but you do great blog
Oh former girl with a blog/now woman with a job remember when we were accused of speaking in code?
Probably because of comment exchanges like the above
It’s come back to hit me in the face and I don’t know whether to play hardball or not
People forget I was a political blogger and a damn good one. As you and I know
politics has many meanings and I can be good at them all though I choose to remain in my little corner of the blogosphere and watch from the sidelines
But when all my posts from a certain political blog magically disapear I have to wonder
I am beyond angry–if thre was a snafu or the post were nuked they could have told me. I didn’t have an external hard drive then–I think I might have put some posts in Courting but…well I have been rejected from a blogging association partially because my archives are difficult
“Last week your friends made you fat. This week a virus makes you fat. I guess they decided they could make more money finding a cure for the virus than they could finding a cure for your choice of friends.”
LOL!
They can’ make much money making drugs or medical procedures for your choice of friends, but they damn sure can for a virus.

This post rocks hard. “The poor can’t afford to eat right, and now I can’t afford to eat right.” Love it.
Excellent post!
Years ago some think-tank gurus extrapolated Barbie’s measurements to what they would be if Barbie was a normal sized woman. Their findings resulted in a female that made Dolly Parton look like Olive Oyl.
This just in - Engineers in Minneapolis have found the reason the bridge fell - pigeon guano! It seems that pigeon crap ate into the steel girders that supported the bridges’ infrastructure.
The reason milk and eggs are rising in price is that we have dearth of corn. It’s being used to make ethanol and farmers are having to purchase more expensive grains to feed to their cows, chickens, etc. Bah!
I used to study on my bed sitting up. The prone position was never conducive to studying.
I was shopping last week and couldn’t believe the price of food.
You know they find research to support a variety of money making schemes. Beware, the fat virus killer is on the way.
I have an older sister, never saw a Barbie in the house as far as I remember.
I’ll go down on this blog. The graphics are awesome, they make the theme. At least you are no longer getting those long religious emails saying you will go to hell for dissing the white man.
Are you.
Peace out, South America - soon.
When I don’t have time to blog? I don’t.
it makes me an unhip blogger, but that’s ok. It’s my thang.
For you, I will gladly go down… early adopter? Ooooh FABOO!
:-)
I will not mess with Jason NO MO! Damn the boxing!
Pia is ahead of her time and I am searching for the Wombat who seems to be MIA I’m afraid.
As for Barbie, oy! Lil’ B knows I will not puchase any such things for her, though she did recently get some Barbie brand black mary jane sneakers but it was a good deal and well made and no pictures were on it. Other than that, the toys are not anything I would spend my money on though the problem is when others gift it to her (ie: my mother) and there is nothing to be done. But she is a wise one and I the kind of mother that will encourage hair cutting and disfiguring acts upon said doll. ;-)
And dammitall! The pressure is on and how can I not deliver words now… ’twill be just for you!
*sigh* I guess I have some work to do so off I go! Don’t work too hard…
Pia: I knew you probably got it but I always feel the need to explain.
Oh former girl with a blog/now woman with a job You always write the good lines.
I prefer softball with a hard bat.
Yobachi: T’is true if it is not profitable it si not gonna happen.
Jeff: We rock hard in wonderland, usually on Tuesday but sometimes on Wednesday and Friday as well. Nice to meet you.
Morgan: Thanks for stopping in and yes their is a large conundrum which would be solved if people just stopped eating meat. It’s bad for them anyway.
Robotman: I wish I could say I’m going. Get a Job surfer boy.
Dan: You are hip as you get the point.
Mizzy B: I am sending the wombat your way, he was heading there anyway.
No pressure I want everything to be the way you want it to be before you start writing. I was only doing a small whine.
Nice. If my time is limited I don’t blog. My time is always limited. You have that thing going on where you now feel you have to blog, you are also more addcited to it than I am. I think you got it down.
The Zombies look like they are fifteen in that video.
This is the only blog I will go down on.
So far.
I believe the “friends can make you fat” study. How anyone can saywith a straight face that there is a fat virius is beyond me, unless they discover it is transmitted by McDonald’s french fries I’m not buying into it.
I’ve already banned fat peoplefrom my social circle in a vain (not pun intended) attempt at staying thin.
