InfantilizationWatch ’07

A pink airline just for chicks who love to shop will launch next month, says Jess McCabe, blogging at The F Word. At Fly Pink, “a boutique airline designed especially for women,” femmy passengers will board a flying pepto phallus, look young and fabulous in the bubblegum glow reflected from every surface, and be given …

Pose of the week

A mainstream music magazine has put a naked chick on the cover. This stunningly unremarkable event in the pornulational continuum induced not the slightest blip on my obstreperometer. Magazines put naked chicks on their covers roughly 82,697 times a day; it’s all part of the general background noise created in pop culture by the constant …

The tedium thickens

uchi_foie_gras.jpg

Seared foie gras from Uchi the other night. Like eating waterfowl-flavored butter. Naturally, my cheepo webhost cannot stand it when a spinster aunt tries to run more than one database off his stupid cheepo server, so I’ve had to shut down the forum to keep it from eating the blog. Fans of the forum should …

How tedious

twisty_yee_haw_uchi.jpg

The spinster aunt has just gotten outside of a slice of smoked yellowtail. Note ghostlike ninja servers in the background. Uchi, S. Lamar, June 6, 2007. Photo by Stingray. My dear old webhost has been putting the thumbscrews to iblamethepatriarchy.com ever since I invented the patriarchy-blaming boards. Because the blog and the boards are all …

Fried mackerel, peanuts, cilantro, lemon curd at Uchi on S. Lamar, June 6, 2007 Stingray and I waited an hour for a table at Uchi last night. Then we ordered the chef’s tasting menu (the actual name for it was a Japanese phrase meaning “I trust you”). Whereupon Jody, our server, brought us 8 or …

GodbagWatch ’07: Church of England totes the company barge

C of E head of education The Rev Jan Ainsworth says that “state juvy warehouses might wish to brainwash their defenseless inmates with the myth of creationism in science class. Why? Because cognitive dysfunctionals have different ways of looking at bald-faced lies promulgated by delusional old dudes.” No wait, that was the Twistulator’s automated translation. …

Spurious BattleoftheSexesWatch ’07

Regular readers are perhaps dimly aware that the Faster family maintains a little wildlife preserve on a few acres in the Texas Hill Country. It is on this acreage that I have, for the past 2 years, been patiently waiting for a bunch of inefficient and expensive men to finish building me a house, so …

I puke on Dude Nation

Today I’ll be blaming the Internet. More precisely, I’ll be blaming Dude Nation’s appropriation of the Internet as a women’s-oppression-delivery device. Rare is the behavior the humanitarian outcome of which may be said to improve when performed by insensate mobs, and perpetual penisism is no exception; the phenomenon of internet voyeurism magnifies a zillionfold the …

Breakfast of quadragenarians

moon_barium.jpg

Moonrise over the berry-flavored barium ‘smoothie’. UPDATE, JUNE 2: For those of you following my tiptoe through the garden of cancer, the scans were negative for metastases. One is tempted to hoist cups of wassail, but as it is only 10:30 in the morning, a shot of Patrón will suffice. A shout-out to the excellent …
