Meg: So are the boys getting psyched for Santa?
Deb: Yep, we saw him last night at the railroad park!
Meg: Was he trolling for action? Lionel pervert that he is…
Deb: Ha! You're going to end up with a lump of coal!
Meg: Well, if I stick it up my ass for a few million years, I'll have a diamond! YIPPEE! A pretty shiny!
Deb: The boys should be getting most of what they want, although Colton threw out a skate board from out of nowhere last night. Hopefully he won't be too upset when he doesn't get one!
Meg: And an iguana, and a Joe Cool Yo-Yo, and a donkey, and a Nerf coliseum…
Deb: That WOULD be your list! Your poor parents! Actually, at Wyatt's school they had a Santa and he asked one of the little kids what he wanted for Christmas and the kid told him that he wanted a bell! The poor bastard just looked dumbfounded! Like where the hell am I gonna get a bell for this fathead!?! I just chuckled!
Meg: A bell? What the F?! He should of at least asked for a Juice Tiger!
Deb: I know! Too funny! And the kid was getting an xBox or something!
Meg: I want a pickle...
Deb: Done!
Meg: And a brass farthing...
Deb: You mean you don't want sandpaper?
Meg: That was next after a carbuncle...

Will Buy Dinner For Sex...
Mood:  mischievious
Now Playing: Il Divo
It’s the age old question. A question as old as time. Why do men think that buying a woman dinner entitles them to sex? Do you think that you’re out with a hooker? If your answer is no, then don't expect nookie just because you picked up the tab, bucko. If a guy thinks that buying me dinner means he’s getting lucky he is beyond wrong! Paying for dinner is an optional, gentlemanly thing to do, not a VIP pass into my panties (if I am actually wearing any and not in commando mode).

Don’t worry though guys. There seem to be many chicks who are willing to ‘barter’ and think that a man paying for a drink or buying dinner is a standard price for giving it up. I guess what you get from these gals would depend on how underrated virtue is to them or what they order…

Here’s a handy guide as to what your dinner expenditure might possibly buy you with one of these chicks:

Spend $5 – $15 Earn her utter contempt and become embarrassing fodder for her friend's blog
Spend $15 – $20 A firm handshake at the door at the end of the evening and permission to call her again
Spend $20 – $30 A one-armed, off kilter squeeze hug
Spend $30 – $40 A kiss on the cheek
Spend $40 – $50 A kiss on the lips with the possibility of some tongue action
Spend $50 – $70 A butt squeeze
Spend $70-100 Partial nudity
Spend $100 or more Full nudity and exchange of bodily fluids

(Please note that prices are per person and including alcoholic beverages will up your odds tremendously!)

Now guys, this doesn’t guarantee that after you fork out that she will put out. You may want to consider increasing your odds by taking her to dinner at a restaurant next to an x-rated bookstore…

Hollywood 'Hit' List

So the other night we went out for sushi and we ended up all going over our "Hollywood Hit List" for kicks. Following is the conversation as it unfolded…

JT: Hollywood Hit list? As in sex not killing, right?
Meg: Hello! Duh! If it was kill the list would be WAY longer and Tom Cruise with his psychotic bastard rantings would be at the top of the list!
Susabella: Really! That list would go on and on…Oprah; Barbara Streisand; Sean Penn, Susan Sarandon…every time one of them opens their mouths I want to kill them!
Deb: As in 'Hit that Shit!' The top five most do-able celebs in your opinion.
Susabella: Always a fun discussion!
Meg: Who are yours Deb?
Deb: In no particular order: Vince Vaughn; John Cusack; George Clooney - I know-cliche but yummy; Colin Firth – just seeing him makes my palms all sweaty and then a kind of random one-Ron Livingston.
Meg: Damn, haven’t given this much thought have you?
EVERYONE LAUGHS
Deb: What about you JT?
JT: Soooo easy—The Baldwin brothers.
Meg: Ewwwwwwwwwwww! Gack!
Susabella: All of them?
Deb: That’s only 4! Who’s your 5th?
JT: No 5th necessary. They would keep me occupied for days!
Meg: A Baldwin gang bang?
JT: Yup!
Deb, Meg & Susabella: Ewwwwwwwwwwww!
Deb: Alec Baldwin looks like a human Furbie!
Meg: I’m going to hurl! Moving on quickly--Susabella, what about you?
Susabella: Hmmm...interesting...thinking...compiling…
Meg: Mine would be Michael Moore, Drew Carey, Harvey Keitel and the Olson Twins.
EVERYONE STARES IN HORROR
Deb, Susabella & JT: EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!
JT: Could be doable…
EVERYONE LAUGHS
Meg: So really, #1 for me--Kelly Slater-pro surfer and total God! What I wouldn’t give for a piece of that!
Deb: He's so hot!
JT: He is rather amazing!
Meg: Let’s see…Bobby Crosby - Oakland A's infielder...he was in Razor recently and I was all shades of "GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!"
Deb: Stick to movies dammit!
Meg: Tough--I am way more attracted to athletes and skatetrash.
Susabella: HOLLYWOOD!
Meg: Ok-Vin Diesel. The things I could do to that man with a gallon of oil, a leather settee and a hand puppet…
DEAD SILENCE FOLLOWS
Susabella: Errr, ok. Thanks for that visual scorched on my retinas!
JT: Dear God—I may never sleep again!
Meg: Like your Baldwinfest fantasy is normal? Hello freakshow!
Deb: So who are your others Meg?
Meg: Tough. I am having a hard time.
Deb: The hubster had a tough time with this one as well. He had to pick specific actresses in specific roles. Ashley Judd all blond and sweaty in "A Time to Kill", or Gwyneth Paltrow in "Great Expectations".
Susabella: Ok, then mine would be Michael Schoeffling--Jake in 16 candles; Harrison Ford in Star Wars or the Early Indiana Jones; Sean Connery in early Bond and Gregory Peck in anything...
Deb: Classics all.
Meg: Hmmmmm…The Rock!!!!!!
Susabella: The Rock—PUHLEEZE!
Meg: I seriously dig the Rock...I am a sicko! And Chris Evans—that kid is just finger licking good!
JT: Chris Evans? Never heard of him!
Meg: He's the Human Torch in the new Fantastic Four—total hottie!
Deb: It's a respectable list Meg and everyone on it is over the age of 18--something new for you!
Deb, Susabella & JT: START LAUGHING AND HIGH FIVING
Meg: Bitches!

When Mr. Right Now Becomes Mr. SO Never...
Mood:  hug me
Now Playing: Sixpence None the Richer
So I was totally into this guy. Ah yes, you undoubtedly noticed…'was' being the key word in that sentence. Things were going really well for a newly formed long distance relationship. It was all long intense phone calls and passionate longing. Every time he came to Phoenix to visit it was insane! Grrrrrrr factor gone mad and all that. I thought I was really into him or maybe I just hadn’t been laid in a long time. Either way, in one blinding, horrific weekend it all changed. It became a one-way ticket on an out of control freight train to dating Hell with Mr. Right Now as the Chief Engineer.

What happened you ask? I went to Colorado to see him. Our first visit on his turf and KABLAM! It all goes terribly, terribly wrong. Why is it that when you spend time with someone on his own 'home turf', he decides to let it all hang out and you decide OMG (Oh my God or Oh my Gaw if you’re Jessica Simpson) what the fuck did I ever see in him? Well then, let’s start at the beginning.

ONE. His family motto was apparently that of "Leave No Booger Behind". The man was a 24/7 nasal backhoe! Every fricking time I glanced over he was fiercely digging his digits around his nasal passages scrounging for choice bits. I think if he could have forced those Fred Flintstone fingers of his up to the second knuckle, he would have! No wonder he wanted to go back to school and get a Masters in Anthropology (on top of an Aerospace Engineering degree--like that is a logical move) he was already an expert at nasal plaque excavation! He had mentioned several times (ok, he went on and on and on) about how he always got nose bleeds when he was in Colorado. Well duh! Perhaps if you kept your paws out of there for 30 whole seconds...Watching him root around like a pig looking for magic truffles made me wonder if that grey chunky material he was endlessly digging out of his nose could actually have been brain material...it would explain so many other things.

(NOTE: I am not anti nose picking; I just don't want it done in front of me. It's an activity best confined to the privacy of your own home.)

So the newly discovered persona of Captain Nasal Explorer was already bad enough, then he whips off his shirt and TWO, I realize he has a total man pelt. Seriously. It looked like someone had hot glued either a dead, unshorn standard-size poodle or a filthy bath mat to his back! I was so shocked and disturbed by the hair suit that I actually wasn’t even fazed by his ginormous Rorschach blot-like port wine stain on his shoulder (AKA the Gorbashoulder).

He told me that all men in his family were cursed with the 'man pelt' and I was afraid, very afraid. I harkened back to that scene in An American Werewolf in London. I half expected him to grow fangs and bay at the moon although that probably would have been easier to bear than the endless boogey picking!

And folks, we're not just talking hairy. We're talking a complex hair pattern from neck to waist that seemed to depict the meandering coastline of the Americas ten thousand years ago--Oh look! It's Pangaea! His back wasn't just hairy--it was unbelievably fricking hairy! It was completely smothered with thick, black curly hair that had to have been at least an inch and a half long. It was like petting one of my dogs. If I spaced out long enough, I could almost lull myself into believing it wasn't his back but a beloved household pet I was stroking...but I couldn’t, because my dogs don't pick their noses! HELLO! Ever hear of waxing dude? Laser hair removal machines only run $999--cheap compared to your 'compensating for your Fred Durst-sized tiny penis' Z3 Beemer payment I'm sure.

And there it is...THREE. The 3nd nail in the coffin of our budding relationship. Tiny midget finger penis otherwise known as TMFP. I should have known! How could I have forgotten that guys with tiny penises are always rockstars in the oral department? They have to be--it's nature's way to compensate. My first thought when I saw the tiniest member of the Lollypop Guild that lived in his too tight boxer briefs was “I wonder where he finds condoms that fit?” Maybe he uses those finger condoms that accountants use? Or perhaps, much like Butter on South Park, he ties on a small one with a rubber band. I know everyone says size doesn’t count, but come on now, we all know that’s a lie. You don’t have to be Tommy Lee scary sideshow freak size, but when the guy is sporting a whopping 3.5 inch hard on that he can barely maintain for 5 minutes, I know I’m not going to be getting any sort of thrill ride out of the encounter.

And I was right. Less than 5 minutes later, he's done. Not only is he done, he's pissed. He shouts at me "I wasn't ready!" WHAT?! It was all I could do not to respond 'Sugar, even an hour of tantric meditation wouldn't have made you any more ready.'

Now, I know I sound harsh about this whole thing, but there was more to the trauma than just these three things. Let's put it this way--he was about one dog boy short of a Mexican circus act and not in the good way. These are just the main things I focused in on because he was a total fricking ASSHOLE!!!! Annoying the Holy Hell out of me every time he opened his "I think I am Lord GOD King Boo-Foo" mouth and said something sarcastic, something sexist and something just totally rude and asinine. I only wish that when he opened his mouth, I could have stuffed it full of all those crusty boogers he picked!

Tattoos
Mood:  don't ask
Now Playing: Los Lonely Boys
Tattoos. Originally, a statement of self. Something that represented your identity and a way to permanently document your uniqueness.

But in this day and age with the latest trends of piercings and tattoos, tattoos have become so commonplace, they're rapidly losing their form of individual self-expression, in fact they're almost at the point where they're a symbol of conformity—more or less a fashion statement. It's sad.

Tattoos are not fashion. You don’t get one because it’s ‘in’. Otherwise, when you’re 30 you’re going to realize it is SO not what you want.

I mean really. Think about how many hairstyles, hair colors or even earrings you went through in your younger years? So why would you ever be so absurdly confident in what you like then that you’d be willing to permanently mark your body? How rarely do we make decisions that are both painful and permanent? So it will hurt a lot and I can’t change my mind, ever? Sign me up! And let’s be honest, haven’t you seen how terrible some people’s tattoos are?

“Wow. That’s a pretty cool ‘Skid Row’ tattoo. Good call.”

The typical Celtic or tribal writing tattoos I see splattered over every fresh out of high school college girl are just crazy! Yes, these are the girls that file into your local tattoo shop and see that tribal tattoo or that butterfly, or those now trendy nautical stars, and ask for the latest trend. (Oh, don't forget to get your belly button pierced while you're there too sweetie, they might give you a discount on the whole package).

It kills me that it seems like every 14 year old girl is lining up to pick a tattoo off the wall of a tattoo shop. I can’t imagine someone simply wanting ‘a tattoo’ as opposed to wanting a tattoo of something in particular. And do you ever notice how many young girls have virtually the same tattoo on the small of their back? I saw a girl once that had "Sex Kitten" tattooed over her lower back. How is she going to explain that one to her kids some day?

And what is up with the lower back tattoos? Why get one on your back? You never see it--you must spend a great deal of time in a position where someone else would be looking at the area on a regular basis and think the tattoo might be entertaining!

I think these thong-line lower back tattoos, AKA the tramp stamp, are the second mark of white trash (the first of course being the infamous camel toe).

I asked a few male buddies of mine about tramp stamps and the responses were as follows:

“I only like the ones that say "insert here" with an arrow pointing down.”

“Nothing says ‘easy’ like a thong tat.”

“The deal breakers for me with a girl are if she has more than 3 cats or she has a confederate flag tattooed across her lower back.”

“They’re great for sportfucking as a cum target if the girl makes me pull out.”

Hmmmm…lovely answers all.

Now, tattoos may look cool now, but what are they going to look like when the gals are sixty and things are starting to seriously sag? Do you realize that in about 40 years, we'll have thousands of 60 plus year old ladies running around with drooping, wrinkly tattoos? A granny with an abundance of tattoos and piercings is just NOT a pretty sight!

Dermatologists must be rubbing their hands in anticipation of the massive amounts of dough they will be rolling in doing tattoo removals!

I was almost one of those chicks who got a tattoo just to get one. I came perilously close a billion years ago when I was 19 to getting a black panther head tattooed on my ass--complete with giant yellow fangs and a big red tongue. You know it--I was in college and drunkenly picked it off the wall at a tattoo shop. I was all shades of excited until my roommate Deb basically threatened everything including Hell and calling my mother (sometimes the same thing) if I proceeded. I caved and instead got a small tattoo of my sorority’s crest on my ankle. If I have said it once, I’ve said it a billion times—THANKS DEB!

Now, this isn't a knock by any means to those with ‘real’ tattoos that mean something and are original. It’s just that those are becoming few and far in between.

I don’t regret getting a tattoo. I do, however, know many who do. Just remember, drunken decisions regarding tattoos that you make with fraternity brothers, drama-prone girlfriends or your drunken roommate rarely turn into sound tattoo ideas. That’s when you wake up the next morning and realize that you have the Schlitz Malt Liquor Bull tattooed across you chest…

Favorite Movie Quotes...
Mood:  chatty
Now Playing: I am the Avalanche - Symphony (Six the Hard Way)
So last night, the American Film Institute named its 100 best movie quotes (visit: http://www.afi.com/tvevents/100years/quotes.aspx#listif you want to see them) and I noticed that many, if not all, of my favorites weren't listed for some bizarre reason--go figure! So I thought I would share a few of my personal favorites. Mind you, these are personal favorites, and there is no accounting for taste...especially mine.

"You're going to need a bigger boat." - Chief Brody (Roy Scheider) to Quint (Robert Shaw) Jaws

"Oh yeah, he loves the cock!" - Jay (Jason Mewes) Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back

"You are not your job. You are not the money in your bank account. You are not the car you drive. You are not how much money is in your wallet. You are not your fucking khakis. You are the all-singing, all-dancing crap of the world.” – Tyler Durden (Brad Pitt) Fight Club

"You aren't too bright. I like that in a man." - Matty Walker (Kathleen Turner) Body Heat

"I'm Rex, founder of the Rex Kwan Do self-defense system! After one week with me in my dojo, you'll be prepared to defend yourself with the strength of a grizzly, the reflexes of a puma, and the wisdom of a man." - Rex (Deidrich Bader) Napoleon Dynamite

"You fell victim to one of the classic blunders. The most famous is: "Never get involved in a land war in Asia." But, only slightly less well known is this: "Never go in against a Sicilian, when death is on the line!" - Vizzini (Wallace Shawn) The Princess Bride

"There has been too much violence, too much pain. Walk away. Just walk away and there will be an end to the horror. Walk away." - Lord Humungus (Kjell Nilsson) Mad Max 2 - The Road Warrier

"Think ya’ used enough dynamite there, Butch?" - Sundance (Robert Redford) to Butch (Paul Newman) Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid

"Yeah I called her up, she gave me a bunch of crap about me not listening to her, or something, I don't know, I wasn't really paying attention." – Harry Dunne (Jeff Daniels) Dumb & Dumber

"Gentleman, you can't fight in here! This is the War Room." - President Merkin Muffley (Peter Sellers) Dr. Strangelove

"I wanted to see exotic Vietnam . . . the crown jewel of Southeast Asia. I wanted to meet interesting and stimulating people of an ancient culture . . . and kill them." - Private Joker (Matthew Modine) Full Metal Jacket

"Now it isn't that I don't like you, Susan, because, after all, in moments of quiet, I'm strangely drawn toward you, but... well, there haven't been any quiet moments." – Dr. David Huxley (Cary Grant) Bringing Up Baby

"Joey, do you like movies about gladiators?" - Capt. Clarence Oveur (Peter Graves) Airplane

"Oh, fuck me in the ass Mr. Greenfield, fuck me in the ass." - Debbie Benton (Bambi Woods) - Debbie Does Dallas (Oh, come on! I had to slip that one in!)

There is one certainty in this world and I’m not talking about breathing or paying taxes. It’s the fact that somewhere, some how, some drunken shitbag is going to fricking piss me off and be the creature from the buzz kill lagoon.

I consider myself a super tolerant person but there are certain things that totally set me off like stupid people…and extremely stupid people…and extremely fricking stupid people.

I seem to encounter all three of these delightful categories of folks every time I go to a bar. What I hate most is the inevitable outcome of these encounters. I am going to end up irritated beyond fuck all and embroiled in a battle of wits and snarky rejoinders, usually against an unarmed or grievously under armed opponent.

The key to any verbal joust is to remember the most important component in dealing with cretins is blatant snarkiness.

Here are some of the insults that have popped out of my mouth when embroiled in a heated verbal smackdown:

You know, if you had a brain, you’d be dangerous.

What in the hell is that nasty body funk smell? Oh, that would be you.

Somehow after talking to you the idea of dying loses its sting.

When God was handing out intelligence, were you in a corner somewhere masturbating?

If you are trying to offend me, can you please do it without your breath?

I know you! You were a guest on that “Transvestite Hookers” episode of the Jerry Springer Show.

Would you just jump up and bite your own giant white ass? It’ll fit in your mouth—trust me.

Dear God! What abomination gave birth to you?!

What gave you the idea that I actually wanted you to walk across the room and start talking to me?

Let me guess…you're from somewhere where cleanliness is frowned upon but incest is encouraged?

If a brain eating cannibal cracked open your head, he’d starve.

You know what this reminds me of? When you read about alien abductions and you are amazed why such an advanced race would abduct trailer trash…

Are you the Angel of Death? No? Then you need to think about investing in some breathmints.

Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Don’t say another word. Let’s have a secret signal. When you see me set myself on fire, it will mean I’m interested in your opinions.

I’d call you a douche bag but that would be an insult to douche bags.

Has anyone ever told you that you smell like ass?

Is that your face or did your neck throw up after a night of binge drinking?

What? Sorry—I don’t understand a word you’re saying…I don’t speak white trash.

Has anyone ever remarked on your uncanny resemblance to a low land gorilla?

Hey look-it’s the poster child for the perils of inbreeding.

Holy shit! Is that your third eye? No wait, it's just a giant pustule... my bad.

So it sucks ass when your marriage fails. It sucks ass even more when your marriage fails and your husband is cheating on you. It sucks ass beyond any rational explanation in the entire world when your marriage fails and your husband is cheating on you…with the hottest fricking chick in the world! I mean really—how do you compete with that? I’d rather lose my husband to Gary Coleman, bitter little black child star. For that matter, I’d rather lose my husband to a Big John blow up doll--beloved mascot from my college years! At least then I’d have a fighting chance…

Hell, let’s be serious. She might even make me consider a foray to the ‘dark side’—Angelina Jolie is smoking hot in spite of the fact that she enjoys cutting herself until she bleeds before sex. But what’s a little freaky warm up act among friends?

Everyone wants that broad—other chicks, stray dogs, Cambodian children, her brother, the USC marching band, other women’s husbands…Think about it. At any given time, there must be millions of folks around the world frantically rubbing one out while thinking of her. It must SO SUCK to be Jennifer Aniston right about now don’t you think?

OK folks—WTF!?! You know me. I’m a middle of the road ‘R’ AKA a moderate. I wish I could be more enthused by the Republican party, but sometimes the fervor there is scarier than Tom Cruise giggling (like a girl getting diddled for the first time) about Katie Holmes. Is it just me or is that beyond nauseating? Talk about being so over enthused that you sound like a friend of Dorothy fervently trying to take cover…oh don’t get me started… but I digress…

So the other night, I am home chillin’ with some Pino Grigio (God that’s fun to say!) when I see an ad for Koolaid (rock on red beverage-bearing/thirst quenching guy) in his super cool sailor hat and big white tennis sans socks (traditional wardrobe for this pitcher) and I realize something isn’t right…something is rotten in Ajo so to speak. But I can’t figure out what’s different. Has he had a brow lift? If his hat more Monica Lewinski beret than a jaunty sailor’s cap? Is his expression fiercer? What is it? Then I realize--it hits me: the big red guy is wearing clothing! He’s got khaki shorts on! WTF?!?! What’s up with that?

How asinine is it that, in the attempt to be PC, we feel the need to assign a gender to a fricking cartoon character of an inanimate object? I mean really, how many male or female beverage pitchers you have run into? Exactly! It’s a fricking make believe mascot/identity branding/market tool for a sugary kid’s beverage and the decision has been made that he is obviously ‘notally taked’ and must wear pants. Can’t have the big red guy wearing only a sailor’s hat and sockless tennis shoes…people might start thinking he’s having a three way with Chester Cheeta and one of the California Raisins (reps for both fictional characters deny any such involvement with the Koolaid character).

Maybe I’m alone here. I don’t know. It has just NEVER occurred to me to contemplate their gender and I am a pretty sick person when it comes to my sense of humor so this is something I might have actually considered.

So when does it end? After the Stay Puff marshmallow man has to put on some Carhart shop pants? After the Pillsbury Dough Boy is giggling in plaid Bermuda shorts? They don’t even have genitalia—why do they have to wear clothes? Why is it that everything needs a sexual identity? —especially fictional animated creatures?

When will the Christian Right and the friends of Anne Coulter (don’t hate on me folks—she’s fricking nuts!) back the hell off from worrying about children’s morals being compromised and their lives doomed to one of crime because a dancing peanut with a monocle isn’t wearing any trousers?

Oh well, I need to sign off now, the talk about super sexy Mr. Peanut has me all shades of…errr, nevermind.

This movie sucks weasel!
Mood:  on fire
Now Playing: Black-eyed Peas
This is a rant for a Sunday afternoon. A Sunday filled with much-needed decompressing and the ever popular and refreshing summer drink of Mojitos as well as some recent DVD releases. Mojitos and movies (I could SO have a show you know)…

So anywho, there I am all buzzy and chillin’ when it hits me that the movie I am watching is lame. It is beyond lame and for every ten minutes additional I give it to try to redeem itself, the worse it gets. Let’s put it this way: If ‘gay’ was a movie, it’d be…National Treasure with Nicolas Cage. If a movie could smell like ass… it’d be National Treasure with Nicolas Cage.

Now, is it just me or is Nicolas Cage starting to look like the offspring of a rather vigorous Richard Nixon and Elvis Presley breeding? Either that or Nixon and a hand puppet…and I am NOT just saying that because of his LAME ASS attempt to hit on me in Dirtbag’s years ago (Nicolas Cage of course, not Nixon)…but as usual, I digress.

This movie exemplifies the reason that I can rarely force myself out to a movie theater. Not only do I not want to spend $7.00 to see a movie with a bunch of overly effusive morons who just can’t shut up, I also tend to become rather bitter when I go to a movie and pay ‘full price’ and it SUCKS! As in, SUCKS WITH A CAPITAL SUCKS!!! That being said, how do you think I feel when I rent a movie of that caliber for $3.99 (five day rental)? Yup, I still feel I’ve been fricking robbed!

National Treasure should have been entitled National Poop Fest because it was just that…overacted sophomoric sludge.

At least in the privacy of my own home, I can walk away (Just walk away and there will be an end to the horror) from the idiotic slush and write off the experience to a misspent $4.00…a $4.00 that would have been better spent on more Mojitos let me tell you!

So very, very wrong...

So I know I have been really lame about keeping the site updated but shit happens. I was going to write about evacuating Capitol Hill while I was in DC (Cessna bastards!) but then my grandmother got ill and I just haven’t had the time or the inclination to blog or update the site. Trivial in the big picture so to say.

So here is a disgusting bit for you. The story must be told as horrible as it is. I'm really not a total demented sicko, my family just tends to use humor to deal with personal grief. Besides, if you are easily disturbed, you probably shouldn’t be reading my blog entries anyway…

So there I am holding my grandmother’s hand while she fades (not a lot of fun to say the least) when I hear an odd sound from across the room. I look over and there is Almenda, gram’s roommate in the ‘home’, with her hands just buried in her diapers and she is muttering “oh God, oh my God” as she vigorously rubs one out. Seriously. I look over and I freak and then I start to laugh. How fucked up is that? My grandmother is slowly dying while her roommate is in a world of serious 'O'. It was so wrong and yet so fricking hilarious…in a very sick, sick way I know.

So my mom comes in later while Almenda is in the front room having supper and flings herself onto Almenda’s bed.

I start laughing and say “If you had ANY idea what happened on that bed, you wouldn’t be lolling around on it.”

So my mom asks me what and I say “Let’s just say with what Almenda’s been doing, she should already be blind” and my mom is all “Oh my God.” And I said, “Funny, that’s what Almenda was shouting too.”

Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!

Top Things Not to Name a Black Dog AKA An Un PC Story...

Now Playing: Hawthorne Heights
So my sister just got another dog. Well, really a puppy. Apparently, some homeless broad had a 6 week old puppy and was trying to sell it at a gas station for $10 and my sister, being my sister, just couldn’t leave it there.

So now she has some tiny, black Chihuahua/random dog mix. Could be terrier. Could be Pit Bull. Could be Wolf Hound. Basically, he's Chihuahua and random black stranger.

So the order of the day, as she is definitely keeping the little man, is a name. Her friends, ever ready to lend a hand, are suggesting names. Out of these ever so helpful comments and discussions comes this: The Top 10 Things You Do Not Name a Black Dog.

10. Negrito (little negro/black en Espanol—HELLO!!!)
9. Biggy Smalls
8. Boo
7. Briar Dog
6. Tupac
5. Darkie
4. Sambo
3. Snoop
2. Tar Baby
and #1…Desmond Tutu.

Hopefully, she’ll go with my suggestion and just name him Steve…

Post Script--A name has been bestowed on the little man--Rudy AKA the Rudemeister it is!

Call of the Cougar
Mood:  flirty
Now Playing: Gorillaz
I have come to a realization, well after my friends already have, that I definitely lean towards being a cougar.

What’s a cougar you ask? A cougar is a slang term for an older gal who enjoys younger men. Typically, they are over 40, so I guess that would make me a wanna be cougar-in-training.

I had no idea there was even an official term for this ‘predilection’ until I saw a special on this phenomena/lifestyle on Discovery Channel. Exactly--I thought the same thing.

Most of my life I have dated younger men. Whenever I break from that pattern, I tend to get into trouble and not the good kind. My last boyfriend was 9 years younger than me and that suited me just fine. I enjoyed lazing about on a Sunday morning playing Xbox for hours on end. A weekend could not have been better spent than between the Tony Hawk Boom-Boom Huck Jam and AMA Motocross drinking beer. The new one is 7 years younger than me and beyond yummy! What can I say? I like what I like…Grrrrrrrrrrr! When other gals are looking to pictures of Brad Pitt and the pages of Men's Health for inspiration whilst rubbing one out, I am perusing the pages of the Active and Swell catalogs...

The hilarious thing to my friends is that I actually mentor an 18-yr old boy. Seriously and for reals. And when I say mentor, I mean that in the most solemn sense of the term. My friends make snarky comments about “Meggie Kay Laterno”, but mentoring is a job I take very seriously and although I may make comments about younger guys, I do have a line etched permanently in the sand. Yes, I like younger men however there is a MAJOR difference between younger men and boys. I am not into boys. I am a cougar not a child molester. I have even said no to my friend’s 20 year old nephew who is beyond SWEET looking! It is not for just anyone that I am hankering to be Mrs. Robinson…the age gap can not be more than 10 years my junior. Beyond that, I consider it juvenile jail bait. Jail bait is not attractive to me…kind of like jail. I am just so not willing to be anybody’s bitch.

My ‘mentee’ invited me to come and see a play his high school was producing. I went with his mother and some of our other neighbors. I had no idea I had actually verbalized my thoughts until his mom looked over and said “WHAT?!” Apparently I had uttered aloud what I was thinking as I looked around “Guys were not this hot when I was in High School”. There I was surrounded by simmering, hot, hormonal jail bait. I finally knew what is what like to be a man watching a cheerleading squad…Dip me in honey and throw me to the Varsity football team.

Given my professional background, this week I am acting as one of the judges at a local prep school’s independent film festival. If you catch me outside huffing BMX bicycle seats or offering candy to the 18 yr olds, spray me down with the fire hose and turn me in…That was a JOKE people!!

'Spederline' - Part Deux
Mood:  cheeky
Now Playing: Dropkick Murphys
So the other day some friends of mine and I were discussing what we may hope to be subjected to during the train wreck reality show that will be ‘Spederline’...

ME: What are we going to see exactly? Them swearing at each other while they swill Starbucks and Cheetos and puff on smokes?

SUSABELLA: She’s pregnant! She wouldn’t dare smoke!

(Dead silence…the sound of several sets of eyelids clicking)

DEB: It’ll be like watching part 2 of Deliverance.

JT: The rest of her is so thin-I don’t think it’s just the pregnancy manifesting itself in the torso area.

ME: Cum doesn't have that many calories!

DEB: Ewww! Feder-spooge!

ALL: EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!

ME: It's like watching Springer without the sweet satisfaction of midgets.

SUSABELLA: No, this will be like seeing someone with a horrendously bad nose job-- you feel bad, but yet, you are oddly fascinated and unable to turn away.

JT(shouting): FEDER-SPOOGE LIVES!!!

ALL: EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!

DEB: It'll be like the Surreal Life but without any interesting people.

JT: They need Anna Nicole to move in with them!

DEB: No, that would be too weird shit—I say Florence Henderson!

SUSABELLA: Even better, Pat O’Brien! Can’t you hear the phone call now? “Uh, "I want to have a three-way with you--you are so fucking hot-let me set up a three-way"!

(Everyone laughs)

ME: I know! Wee man!

(Again, dead silence…the sound of several sets of eyelids clicking)

ME: You know—Wee man—Jason Acuna—the professional skateboarding midget...he was in Grind, Jackass, Wildboyz, Viva La Bam, What are you chicken…

DEB: Meg, you need to let go of the whole ‘midget’ thing…

Things I learned Over the Weekend...
Mood:  silly
Now Playing: Modest Mouse
In no particular order, here are some life 'lessons' I learned over the weekend:

* Candle wax is a bitch to get off of the cat

* Malibu rum, unlike vodka, does freeze

* Flashing someone at a professional baseball game isn't always a smart thing to do--think cameras

* Sleeping with a gasseous puppy tucked under your arm is definitely a stupid move unless you enjoy inhaling rotting meat scented methane

* Sun burned nipples hurt like fuck all

* Hi ball glasses make excellent shotglasses

* Selling off an old boyfriend's stuff on eBay isn't as satisfying as one would think

* A bad book makes it seem like you've been reading for a month instead of an hour

* When your neighbor's girlfriend bitches to you about how he didn't come home the night before and you just happened to see his motorcycle at some other broad's house that evening, remember this phrase: Shoot the messenger

The Move
Mood:  d'oh
Now Playing: Sugarcult
As you know, I moved again recently for the 4th time in less than 3 years. Yeah, I know, masochistic at best. It?s a sad commentary when you have your mover?s number programmed into your cell phone.

The good thing about my movers? They do an excellent job (well, duh, I keep using them). After my 3rd move, I actually went so far as to inquire whether they had a frequent mover discount available. Although they don?t, the good news is they are so used to moving my crap, they have it down to 2 truckloads and 5 hours. Sad, I know.

So anywho, the icing on the cake with my movers is Dave. Dave is the co-owner and he is hot with a capitol H.O.T. Shaved head, tattooed, a body that won?t stop and an ass I could merrily bounce quarters off of for hours on end (pun intended). I find myself staring at him with the same absorption as I would a cold beer on a hot summer?s day or a pint of Starbuck?s Java Chip during a gnarly bout of PMS. To say this man is yummy would be a serious understatement and grievous insult.

My friends have asked me over and over why I don?t just go for it and my answer remains the same?you don?t fuck with good service. I have a hot doctor. I have a seriously hot dentist (who I have seen mostly naked modeling pictures of). All I can say is it is much harder to find a good dentist or a good doctor or a good mover than it is to find a hot guy. Hot guys are everywhere in this town. You can?t shake a tree without a bunch falling at your feet. It is seriously hard to find quality service people so if you find them and they just happened to be super easy on the eyes (and super cool personality wise) you add them to your ?untouchable? category with your brother-in-law, your boss, your first cousin, the Vienna Boy's Choir, etc. and just move on.

What it boils down to is that I don?t care how amazingly cool a guy is, how hot he is or how fantabulous he might be in bed, it?s not worth me spending hours trying to find a new dealership to take my car to. A gal has to have priorities... I refer to this phenomenom (doo, doo, doo, doo, doo) as ?Don?t shit where you sleep.?

So in this vein, moving day comes and as usual, I have a very friendly and casual attitude with Dave. He?s simply my hottie mover and given my history, I?ll need him to move me in another year?

So I am running around moving day trying to get the last of my shit compiled and ready to go. As I am mentally running through the last smidgeons of stuff to do?empty the fridge, pack up copius amounts of liquor, clean under the bed, etc. I managed to do almost all of it except clean under the bed. When it came down to that, I thought ?Ah, there?s nothing under the bed to worry about.? Well, it turns out, I was wrong.

Hottie Dave and Dufus his dork boy helper are in the process of moving my bed out when Dave flashes me a brighter than normal smile with one eyebrow up and says ?Howzit?? while Dufus looks at me and starts blushing and giggling. Right then my ?Megdar? goes into overdrive. I know something is up.

I tear back to my bedroom and there on the floor, plain as a zit on Paris Hilton?s scrawny ass, is the ?Advanced Oral Techniques? book that my friend Red bought for me as a Christmas gift. Let me say that she wasn?t kidding when she told me that there was shit in there that I had never heard of?let alone the times when I wasn?t sure which way to hold the book in order to understand some of the pictures. ?Nuff said. If that wasn?t bad enough, right next to that were 2 boxes of condoms?one in extra large (wishful thinking) and a ginormous bottle of Astroglide. (And I thought all that was under there were rhino-sized dust bunnies not refugees from the adult toy box)

Needless to say, I heard hottie and nottie returning to get my dresser. I grabbed the ?incriminating? stuff and chucked it into my closet. I am sure they noticed that the ?fun? stuff was gone but I met their eyes with a ?you wish? sneer or so I'd like to think...I actually avoided any and all eye contact with them similar to when the homeless guy comes up to your car window at a freeway off ramp looking for change.

Who knew that moving day could have sexual drama?

Getting to Know You...
Mood:  don't ask
Now Playing: The Used
You know those annoying emails you get from some seriously misguided but well meaning friends or family members entitled ?How Well Do You Know Your Friends? with like 3 million lame ass questions that the person wants everyone to copy, answer and send back or you will break the chain and have bad luck, scabies and ?taint? breath for the rest of your natural born life?

I am beyond fricking sick of answering mundane shit like my favorite drink, what color my toenails are painted, my favorite sexual position, etc. I want people to answer trivial out-there questions that provoke serious or sarcastic answers. So here?s the list of my top 25. Feel free to pass it on!

1.Girls: Which Sweathog would you most want to sleep with, excluding Vinnie Barbarino/John Travolta? ("UGH-None" is not an acceptable answer)
Guys: Which girl from the Facts of Life would you most want to sleep with excluding Blair/Lisa Welchel? (Again, "UGH-None" is not an acceptable answer)

2.What movie(s) are you completely embarrassed to admit that you love?

3.Do you pick your toenail clippings up or leave them for the dog to eat?

4.As an adolescent, who was the first celebrity image that you had plastered all over your bedroom walls?

5.If it were acceptable as an adult, which celebrity image would you now have plastered all over your bedroom ceiling?

6.If you had to, would you rather lick someone's eyeball or have someone lick yours?

7.Naked XBox or naked twister?

8.What?s worse: bad breath or bad gas?

9.Do rug burns count as body art?

10.For $1 million dollars would you name your first born child Bongwalla?

11.So be honest, in most conversations are you really even listening to the other person, or just waiting to talk?

12.How did your first childhood pet die? Was it your fault?

13.Ever farted during oral? (?qweefs? don?t count)

14.True or false?normality is both worthless and unachievable.

15.What?s more annoying: A stupid person or a know-it-all?

16.When you get asked out or ask someone on a date, do you immediately Google that person for more information on him/her?

17.What song makes you cry (and don?t say the one the ice cream man?s van plays)

18.What is the best super power to have?

19.If you were an STD, which one would you be?

20.If you had to be gang-banged in prison, would you choose:
For Guys: The surviving members of Frankie Goes to Hollywood or the male members of River Dance?
For Girls: The 1985 pledge class of Chi Omega at the U of A or the female former cast members of SNL?

21.What sounds worse: the new Mariah Carey album or a cat heaving up a hairball?

22.What?s worse: gum caught in your pubic hair or your pubic hair caught in your zipper?

23.Is cyberstalking a crime if you really love the person?

24.What is the stupidest professional sport other than NASCAR?

25.If your significant other asked you to pop a back zit for him/her, would you?

Now hurry, hurry, hurry and copy this sucker and put in your own answers. Then send it to everyone on your email list (so they can waste precious time at the office that could be better spent surfing the net for porn) or you will develop a rather nasty case of foot fungus and your hair will migrate down your back until it resembles a dead wolverine pelt?

**************************************************
POST SCRIPT
**************************************************
So after much badgering and nagging from friends and family, here are my answers. Feel free to post yours...

1.Girls: Which Sweathog would you most want to sleep with, excluding Vinnie Barbarino/John Travolta? ("UGH-None" is not an acceptable answer)

It would have to be Juan Luis Pedro Phillipo de Huevos Epstein. What gal could resist a Puerto-Rican Jew who lapsed into impersonations of the Marx Brothers on occasion and brought forged absentee notes from his mother like the classic "Roses are red, violets are blue, I've been home two days with the Asian flu". Even without the mention of the Spanish word for ?eggs? in his name, I?m moist just remembering?

2.What movie(s) are you completely embarrassed to admit that you love?

Aw shit, where to start? Let?s just say that my movie collection is full of them: Dark Crystal; Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back; Time Bandits; Legend; Spaceballs and any cheesy kung fu movie. My movie collection comes close to rivaling my collection of one hit wonder albums from the 80s?

3.Do you pick your toenail clippings up or leave them for the dog to eat?

Are you kidding me? There is no leaving them for the dogs. The three of them are flying around the room like the fricking Karamazov brothers snatching the clippings from the air like edible Frisbees.

4.As an adolescent, who was the first celebrity image that you had plastered all over your bedroom walls?

Adam Ant?and you just shut your mouth. He was hot then?he was.

5.If it were acceptable as an adult, which celebrity image would you now have plastered all over your bedroom ceiling?

Kelly Slater, Pro Surfer. That man is my adult version of a Tasty Cake. Can you say YUM!?!

6.If you had to, would you rather lick someone's eyeball or have someone lick yours?

I would need to be the licker?it?s an orbital jelly control issue with me...

7.Naked XBox or naked twister?

Naked Xbox. It?s no different than the countless hours I already spend playing naked PS2?besides naked twister is only fun with copious amounts of warm oil. Kind of like an x-rated Slip-n-Slide...

8.What?s worse: bad breath or bad gas?

They are both equally narfy, but I guess the tie would be broken by harkening back to an old boyfriend who, no matter what he ate, could clear a room faster with just one flatulent outburst than someone in the U.S. Capitol mail room screaming ?Anthrax?.

9.Do rug burns count as body art?

Only if they truly resemble something. I have been told that the one on the side of my left knee resembles Jesus? clavicle. I wonder if I could cut it off and sell it to the Golden Palace on eBay?

10.For $1 million dollars would you name your first born child Bongwalla?

For $1 million dollars, I would name my first born child ?Bong Water?.

11.So be honest, in most conversations are you really even listening to the other person, or just waiting to talk?

Huh? Were you saying something?

12.How did your first childhood pet die? Was it your fault?

Whitney Sue died in her sleep, releasing her bowls on my mother?s white living room carpet. Yes, the white carpet in the white living room that kids and dogs were never allowed to enter. I guess if you are never allowed into a room, it?s a good place to leave your last mark--literally. Whitney gave mom the dew claw something fierce on her way out?

13.Ever farted during oral? (?qweefs? don?t count)

Not for lack of trying?have I mentioned that I am evil?

14.True or false?normality is both worthless and unachievable.

Normality is highly overrated?much like Necrophilia.

15.What?s more annoying: A stupid person or a know-it-all?

Those who think they know-it-all annoy those of us who do?enough said.

16.When you get asked out or ask someone on a date, do you immediately Google that person for more information on him/her?

You know it! Then I check civil and criminal court records (knowing that he is an axe murderer or has 10 illegitimate children is half the battle). Then it?s off to play in the county assessor?s site to find where he lives, etc. Whoops, giving away trade secrets and starting to sound creepy?

17.What song(s) makes you cry (and don?t say the one the ice cream man?s van plays)

Puff the Magic Dragon, You Are My Sunshine and Wildfire (the one about the girl?s horse who gets out in a terrible storm and dies??She ran calling ?Wildfire?)?shit. Must stop now before I start weeping like a little bitch?sobbing worse than I do after tuning into the last 2 minutes of a Saint Jude cancer commercial.

18.What is the best super power to have?

Buns of Steel...no seriously, I?d want to be invisible. The possibilities are endless with that one.

19.If you were an STD, which one would you be?

I?d be the Clap. I?m not sure what the Clap is, but whenever grandma saw me holding hands with a boy, she told me if I wasn?t careful, I?d get the Clap. I always thought it referred to rhythmic hand music?

20.If you had to be gang-banged in prison, would you choose:
For Girls: The 1985 pledge class of Chi Omega at the U of A or the female former cast members of SNL?

Christ?I?d have Laraine Newman riding me like a stallion shouting ?What?s my name bitch? before I ever let a Chi Omega touch me.

21.What sounds worse: the new Mariah Carey album or a cat heaving up a hairball?

I think me experiencing a Brazilian wax without benefit of painkillers, questioning the legitimacy of the aesthetician?s birth, while dropping colorful f-bombers that could be heard in Madagascar still sounds better than Diva Carey?

22.What?s worse: gum caught in your pubic hair or your pubic hair caught in your zipper?

Well, you know my answer?what hair? I?m I?ll about the ?netherscaping?. (AKA see #21)

23.Is cyber stalking a crime if you really love the person?

Not when you don?t get caught?or convicted.

24.What is the stupidest professional sport other than NASCAR?

Professional lumberjack competitions. They make women?s field hockey seem interesting.

25.If your significant other asked you to pop a back zit for him/her, would you?

Absolutely. I was also born with the Simian gene (probably why Mr. Jinx wanted to bond with me). There are few things I enjoy as much as a good grooming session?just call me the amateur dermatologist.

So I?d much rather be telling you the silly story about the 'sexual' drama of my moving day or the fact that Elvis recently hit on me (seriously), but instead you?re getting the rare Megan ?serious? moment. Rarer than a Dodo bird and really no fun whatsoever.

I had some rather fucked up beyond all belief news today. One of my dear friends from childhood?s little brother committed suicide. This is a kid I have known since he was a toddler. Our parents have been friends for more than 34 years. What a fucking hideous waste.

Deep breath. It?s been almost four years since my best friend of 20 some-odd years, who was is all ways important my big brother, committed suicide. Hearing about Davey brought John?s death back in a swift, gut-wrenching rush of loss and disbelief. I can still only ask myself "why?". Why were their souls so tortured that this was the way they chose to try to come to peace with themselves?

The theme song to the hit 70s show M*A*S*H* was entitled ?Suicide is Painless?. Now that?s a crock of shit! It?s not painless as the person takes his or her life and it sure as HELL isn?t painless to those that person leaves behind. Suicide is the ultimate form of physical and emotional abandonment. It leaves loved ones in eternal pain constantly wondering ?what if?? What if something I could/should have done would have changed his mind? Why didn?t I know he was considering taking his life? How could I have been so blind to his pain? These questions and many others have raced through my mind for years in the wake of John?s tragic death. And let me tell you, it was tragic. The world lost one of the good ones?the rare ones. A kind and loving person?a decent man.

Many times I have tried to comfort myself by saying that if John had known that I would have been the one to find his body, that he wouldn?t have done it. He would never have done that, never have put that horror on his beloved kid sis ?Mags?. But maybe I am just fooling myself. Maybe I am just trying to make myself feel better when I so obviously failed to recognize the depth of his despair...when I so obviously failed him as a friend.

All I know is that it?s going on four years since his light on this earth was extinguished. My questions will always remain unanswered and not a day goes by that I don?t think of him.

Could have, would have, should have?FUCK! Nothing like hindsight to make the heart despair more?

I have learned important life lessons from this life altering trauma. One, there is NEVER a good enough reason to take your own life, no matter how dire things seem, as I have seen the devastation it wreaks on everyone left behind. Two, love (romantic and otherwise) is a short and fleeting thing. If you have it in your life, embrace it and make the most of it. Life is too short to be full of fear. If you love someone, let that person know it as often as possible. Step off that cliff and live it.

I hope that somewhere in a much better and forgiving place, John takes a break from watching over me to welcome Davey home.

There is a God...
Mood:  happy
Now Playing: Butthole Surfers
I believe in prayer--I just seldom partake in the act as what I wish for rarely ever manifests. Trust me, I just find it hard to believe sometimes that the simple act of prayer could actually get me what I want.

Especially when certain fervent prayers I make nightly (Make them perky. Make them perky.), a pathetic mantra when you think of it, go unanswered. (And don't even bring up that stupid -ass country song about God's greatest gifts are unanswered prayers. BULLSHIT I SAY! I want what I want!)

I am happy to tell you that something I have prayed for (although not to the extent of my mantra wishes) has happened. God has granted me the 'Spederline' reality show. It's a dream come true! Just when Jerry Springer was running out of new show ideas (there are just so many combinations of midgets, racists and hermaphrodites that one can come up with) God in his bountiful wisdom, through UPN, has seen fit to bring me new white trash, trailer park insight through his emissaries Brittney and Kevin.

As I eagerly tune in to their zany exploits, grasping my bag of pork rinds and jar of marshmallow fluff close to my heart, I will never again doubt God?s existence!

Who Wants to Be Pope
Mood:  mischievious
Now Playing: Keren Ann - Nolita
Reality television. Depending on who you ask, it?s either the bane of our modern day existence or the greatest thing invented since luggage on wheels and pore cleanser (or extra large condoms?again, depends on who you ask).

I think we need a new reality show to add to that group of struggling and highly underrated reality shows like the Starlet, the Contender, Airline, Project Runway and my own favorite: Dog-the Bounty Hunter.

Personally, I am beyond amazed that one of the major networks hasn?t already pitched it to the Vatican yet: a reality show called ?Who Wants to Be Pope?. Talk about your pseudo drama! I can see it now seemingly endless hours of the Cardinals in enclave sitting around in their red robes and tall hats trying to elect the next Pope.

The twists! The turns! I know I would be enthralled?I?d probably never even sleep again?until we saw the white smoke of success. Which brings another thought to mind (being the random and un-PC thinker that I am)?will they use white smoke if they chose a black or brown Pope instead of the traditional white one? And what about any racist Catholics out there? Will they turn away from their faith if a minority Pope is chosen? Become Scientologists because it's easier for them to have faith in space aliens than in a minority?

These thoughts and more keep me awake at night?I'm definitely going to Hell now.
