Chain Link Fencing: Why?

Who the fuck decided that chain link fencing looks good in your back or front yard? Nothing says "look at me - I'm a dirtbag" more than chain link fencing on a private residence. Am I wrong here? Granted, there's lots of rolls-o-barbed wire around here in Kabul, but that's more of a "keeping idiots with bombs away from me"-thing rather than feeding a personal aesthetic.

I have spoken...

Dumb Like a Sack of Hammers...

So...I've been watching "The Hills" on MTV (yes, we have DirecTV here in my yurt outside Kabul), and I think I have found the two dumbest people living: Audrina and her quasi-boyfriend that I don't think has a name - I really doubt he could remember it if he did anyway (we're call him "Hey You" for the sake of arguement...)

Anyway, I think I, too, have lost IQ points by osmosis by merely watching this train wreck waiting to happen...there's also this girl Heidi that seems somewhat together, but she's engaged to some dude that is even LESS intelligent than Hey You (although he does seem to have a touch better fashion sense than Hey You's "Look What I Found In The Dumpster Last Night!"-attire). Just awesome...

Oh well, enough of that - it's almost time for The Real Housewives of Orange County...

New word for the new year...Sniglets - eat your heart out...

You know, I've been a bitter man since I coined the word "wifebeater" and everyone ran with it (I'm dead-serious, by the way...)

That being said, it's been a LONG time since I came up with new vocab for Webster's...and I think I've got one...

Are you ready? Really? Seriously - sit your ass down for this one...

"Skiñata"

Just what is a "skiñata", you ask, o' denizen of this fine blog? Quite simply, it's one of the many shards of formerly blistered skin that hangs from the roof of your mouth after eating piping hot pizza (as I did last night)...

Get it? Genius. Skin hanging like little piñatas. Now you know...

Ok folks - December 10, 2007 - let it be know THIS is where you heard it first...

(BTW, like the tilde on the "n"???? "Alt 0241" is the answer to "Just how DID he do it?"...The answer to your other question is "About half an hour, which I will never get back...")
