They Got Everything in Cali

L.A. is now home to two 24-hour pot AVMs . . . But keep in mind: in California, just because you can get most any hokey doctor to say it's fine for you to smoke your sickness away doesn't mean you can't be fired for it. You gotta love a newspaper that sites Futurama.

AAAAAAAAAYYYYY!!!!

Other supporters included a bakery in Jefferson that sold thumbs-up cookies.

Race or Gender?

Yeah, more election posts. You're going to keep getting these for almost another year, so save your whining. It's gonna be a long winter . . . .

Gender or race: Black women voters face tough choices in S.C. There's a couple of problems with this article: 1) it assumes that voters can't get past either race or gender; 2) being a white male, I also face the same "problem" when deciding over Obama and Clinton; 3) CNN is already saying Edwards is the last man on a sinking ship of a campaign; 4) I guess there are no black female Republicans in S.C. (quit your laughing, there's gotta be at least a couple, right? A female Clayton Bigsby? You might not want to click on that link if you're at work.)

who's dead ?

Sam the Butcher
Allan Melvin, best known for his role as Sam the Butcher on The Brady Bunch, died of Thursday night (January 17). Melvin died of cancer in his Brentwood home in Los Angeles. He was 84 years old.

Melvin even played the voice of Magilla Gorilla for the Hanna Barbera cartoon as well as several guest appearances on The Andy Griffith Show, Gomer Pyle: USMC and The Dick Van Dyke Show.

Is Sam enjoying a last glass of Champale in this photo? The world will never know.



Hydrox the Cookie
In 2003, without warning or announcement, Kellogg Co. killed off the cookie -- by then rechristened Droxies -- after failing to gain ground against the dominant Oreo, one of the country's best-selling snack foods.

While aware that Hydrox cookies were becoming harder to find, many of their fans are learning only now they are gone.

How would Hydrox stand up when dunked in Champale? The world will never know.



Gaikwad the Teacher
It can be an illustrative case of lapse in administrative functioning. The Chandrapur zilla parishad's school education department issued an order on January 1, 2008, regarding promotion and appointment of an official as block education officer (BEO) in Nagbhid panchayat samiti.

Nothing wrong with it, except that the official - former education extension officer Natthu Dashrath Gaikwad - passed away about six months ago

Would Gaikwad have enjoyed a glass of Champale? The world will never know.



Ike the Musician
The late rock 'n' roll pioneer Ike Turner died of a cocaine overdose, the San Diego County medical examiner said on Wednesday.

Turner, 76, was found dead on December 12 at his home in San Marcos near San Diego. He had a history of cocaine addiction stretching back more than 30 years.

Is it safe to say that Ike enjoyed the Champale? The world will never know.





Aussie the Smuggler
Three young Australians on death row in Bali say their Indonesian lawyer's instructions to "play dumb" with Indonesian police and judges may have cruelled their chances of evading the firing squad.

Tan Duch Tanh Nguyen, Matthew Norman and Si Yi Chen were sentenced to life in prison by Denpasar District Court in 2005, but their sentences were upgraded to death in 2006 by Indonesia's Supreme Court.

Would these three have gone on to reinvigorate Champale with a new marketing blitz? The world will never know.


Oak the Tree
Sudden oak death syndrome has arrived in force in San Mateo County, and local, state and federal officials will hold a public meeting next month to inform residents about its impact.

The Sudden Oak Death Mortality Task Force ... yeah The SODMTF is on the case!


oh, and this

Maybe it's the Champale talking, but I think you're pretty sexy

an open letter to bogardus

Dear Bogardus,

While the image you posted is "intriguing" in the purest sense of the word, it is neither amusing nor poignant. First off, your thesis states no citation whatsoever! It will not be hard to dismantle the proposed hypothesis which I will summarize for you, as you provided none. "That in early 2006, internet instances of "anal fisting" (from here on AF) increased roughly 500% while internet instances of "ass to mouth" (from here on, ATM) stayed on track." In this case, an "internet instance" is limited to web searches and news articles. Now, one might make the obvious conclusion that in January of 2006, Samuel Alito was sworn in as Associate Justice of the Supreme Court. This was of course hastened by the leaving of Sandra Day O'Connor, who we all know, loved the ATM. With yet another conservative on the grand stand, it would seem obvious that the country was doing as much internet research on AF as they could, to be prepared for when Bush's judges repeal Roe v Wade, Brown v The Board of Education, the 13th amendment, et. al. However, I offer a different suggestion to the increased interest in AF. A quick "Google Trends" search of simply "fisting" shows the same trend as "AF" does.¹ The correlation isn't obvious yet, until one starts to think in a slightly more abstract way about "fisting". First, the increase in the evangelical movement seen in America through 2005 and 2006 might have led to this increased presence, as is evident by this Christian's account of the "Fist of Might". As the shroud of mystery is raised, we see a trend amongst the conservatives to address fisting straight away, perhaps intimidated or intrigued by the prospect. Well, whatever the real reason, I just wanted to get that image off the front page when you first click to the blog ... bogardus, comon now! save that kinda stuff for a forum or something, lets try to keep the 13-year-old-sex-is-funny-jokes to a minimum and WTF humor also to a nill ... or if you must, at least make it ironic, or point out how idiotic it is ... please, pretty please, pretty pretty please ... with an LOLCAT on top ...

Yours truly,
Driznastic

ps I'm not saying that "trend" isn't weird, it is ... very weird ... and disturbing ... something i could have lived without ...

and ...

we used to spit on the one in our neighborhood, but these fine folks have decided to do something creative with their hatred of Hummer H2s.
