The Jokes Never Take Long

David Brooks calls Republicans "Not Normal"

Over the weekend conservative journalist David Brooks wrote a piece in the NYTimes discussing Republican brinkmanship on the debt ceiling and their refusal to consider raising taxes as part of a compromise. I particularly liked this part:

That’s because the Republican Party may no longer be a normal party. Over the past few years, it has been infected by a faction that is more of a psychological protest than a practical, governing alternative.

When tolerable conservative thinkers are pointing out that the party is getting too crazy, that's when you know shit is too crazy.

Also, David Brooks has the best comb over EVER. From the front you can't even tell he is completely bald in the back.

If you wanna meet men in Indy........

So, I, awesomely, won free tickets to see Florence and the Machine at White River last night. Being the people we are, my friend and I decided to take the bus downtown to avoid the headache of parking on such a busy day. So, we left from her house and walked to 38th and Winthrop to wait for the 39 to carry us to our destination.

As we were standing there, sipping on our mixed drinks (cleverly hidden in pop bottles), I saw a car pull up and park behind us, by the fair grounds. I keep running my mouth when this dude walks up. He introduces himself as Larry and asks what we are doing because, and I quote, he was "trying to kick it" with us. He asked about boyfriends, which we both claimed to have (he believed me and not Katie-I'm a good liar). Larry informed us that they needed to be driving us around so that we didn't have to take the bus.  This dude had neck tattoos and a tatt on his face that looked like it was supposed to be a tear drop........until someone stumbled into his face with the tattoo gun. His choice to try and make friends by pulling over on the side of 38th street making him even more questionable.

As he drove away, telling us to have a good night and to get drunk, Katie said "I guess we can't really say we never meet men in Indianapolis." Indeed, madam. Indeed.

My next boyfriend comes from the bus stop.

Mantyhose Update-An Empassioned Defense

A comment, posted to my blog, about Mantyhose. I apologize for all you guys out there secretly getting away with wearing your mantyhose.

While not too many guys are going to be wearing the white ones shown in your photo here, there are a lot of guys who have discovered the practical benefits of wearing 'mantyhose'. They're great for keeping your legs energized if you're on your feet all day long, or if you just happen to have poor leg circulation, for instance.

The majority of guys who wear them still wear them under long pants, but there's a growing number who are brave enough to wear them with shorts. Of those, most (like myself) stick to colors that more or leg match skin tone and thus are hardly noticeable to passersby on the street.

Keep an eye out next time you're on a busy street, you might be surprised to notice a few guys wearing them right out there in the open that you might've missed otherwise.

 I'm watching for your mantyhose........and judging you.

I haven't been to a mall in 2 years

I haven't been to a mall in 2 years. I can not tell how much it delights me to reveal this fact to people. How do I know this? Don't YOU remember where you were when you learned Michael Jackson died? I was at the mall. And that was the last time I was there.

My aversion has nothing to do with Michael Jackson though. I just HATE malls. I hate trying to walk around slow moving people. I hate all the teenagers who have no place else to hang out. I hate sales people. I hate feeling so uncool because I'm not sporting those (BLANK) that everyone else has. Don't malls always seem too hot? And I am CHEAP as fuck. I've only been to the Fashion Mall twice in the 5 years I've lived in Indy. Both times to see a movie (Sorry to everyone who had to be there when I got waaaayyyy too drunk watching Harry Potter). If it isn't at Kohl's, Target, Goodwill or Valu World, I really have no interest in adorning myself in it. And I never think I look bad, but I suppose that is up for interpretation.

Anyway, I'm pretty sure I am the only one who thinks my streak is cool. I'm going to keep telling people anyway.
Anyway, I think I may break this streak soon by going to CASTLETON mall.

Ridiciulously Awesome Quote - Sen. Bernie Sanders

Please do not yield to outrageous Republican demands that would greatly increase suffering for the weakest and most vulnerable members of our society. Now is the time to stand with the tens of millions of Americans who are struggling to survive economically, not with the millionaires and billionaires who have never had it so good.

 -Sen. Bernie Sanders (I - Vermont)

Enough is enough. We can ask the rich people to give up a little too. For your viewing pleasure:
