Riding bareback, after men and women roped steers, wrestled cattle, and put hot-pink undies on an uncooperative goat at Philadelphia’s first gay rodeo. “This proves we are normal,” said Jen Vrana, president of the Liberty Gay Rodeo Association. A strange definition of “normal.” But then again, I have been two marks off normal for a long time now.
Somewhat taken a back by all this, I emailed a copy to my friend in PA and asked him, “Is This Normal?” and he immediately mailed me a reply that simply said …….. “Nahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.”
A Tennessee man undergoing a security check at a courthouse pulled from his pockets a bag of marijuana and some rolling papers. He was as expected, promptly arrested. Two hippies were sitting on a curb, smoking a doobie and a fire truck came down the street, lights ablaze and siren roaring. As it sped by, the first hippie looked at the second and said ……. “Man, I thought that guy would never leave!”
I read this week where a farmer in Tennessee having a lot of difficulty with high fuel prices, resorted to going back to plowing and working his land with a pair of mules. He said that it was cheaper to feed the animals, than it was to put fuel in his tractor. Six months ago, I would not have believed that, but today, strangely I do.
Meanwhile back at home, things are about the same at the ranch … Unregulated joy and fantasy, a new political endomorphic high for the rich. This phenomenon leads to a recently discovered social inter-reaction it is called Intaxication: Euphoria at getting a tax refund, which lasts until you realize it was your money to start with.
At least I think that is the way I understand it. My memory’s not as sharp as it used to be. Also, my memory’s not as sharp as it used to be. What was that old country and western song …All around me I hear the sound of money, but I don’t have a nickel to my name, there’s a lite at the end of the tunnel … I sure hope it aint no damn train.
A fool and his money, stabilize the economy. At a book store near you.
What is it with people?
People never seem to realize when they have a good deal going for them. In Bonny Lake Washington, the local residents are complaining because the espresso stands are populated with scantly clad ladies in bikinis or other skimpy outfits. So now they have a skin crisis in the Northwest, how much is too little. Not like here, where it is on most occasions … oh gawd … lookie that … way too much. Leave them girls alone, whats-matter you people anyway.
And in the cool of the afternoon, God walked into the garden … there he found Adam & Steve, what is wrong with this picture?
California this week approved same-sex marriage, they become the second state, after Massachusetts, to approve the measure. Looks like The Governator is going to have his hands full with the “Girly Men” again. Do you know what also happened this week back in 1850, 158 years ago?
California became a state,
The state had no electricity.
The state had no money.
Almost everyone spoke Spanish.
There were gunfights in the streets.
So basically, it was just like California is today, except the women had real breasts, and the men didn’t hold hands.
Have a good weekend, or then again, don’t. It’s your choice.
I’ll be back.
