A bit of weird
From a collection of poems published in the early 1900s..
Imagiste Love Lines
I Love my lady with a deep purple love;
She fascinates me like a fly
Struggling in a pot of glue.
Her eyes are grey, like twin ash-cans,
Just emptied, about which still hovers
A dainty mist.
Her disposition is as bright as a ten-cent shine,
Yet her kisses are tender and goulashy.
I love my lady with a deep purple love.

Urban Dictionary Meme
From MJ's blog.
Rules:
a) Go to urbandictionary.com and type in your answers to the following questions.
b) Post your favorite definition it gives you -- or just post the first one. (or multiple answers if it's just too funny.)
c) Tag 4 people. Leave them a comment telling them they've been tagged.
d) Those people, if so inspired, should do the same.
1 Your name ~ stephanie. The sexiest girl in the world. (Hey, I like this meme. If I were still a girl, I would love it.)
2 Your age ~ The world's oldest manatee was born the same year I was.
3 Your favorite drink ~ Water. The 4th element required to summon Captain Planet.
4 Favorite color ~ Rust. The skins on the outside of peanuts (not the shell, the skin) can be used when no weed is readily available, gives a small relaxing buzz, especially when dried out. (uh..who first..never mind.)
5 Birthplace ~ Los Angeles. Where reality is ignored and Hollywood flaunts its socialist agenda.
6 Month of birth ~ October. (The defs were lame.) The month that has the most worthy holiday: Halloween.
7 Where you live now ~ Athens, Georgia. Once again, urbandictionary fail. Athens is a blue isle in a red sea, but lately the waves have been turning purple.
8 Your super power if you had super powers ~ No! I don't want the responsibility.
9 Best insult ~ Republitard. Please use it in a sentence. George Bush is the quintessential republitard.
Tag, you're it!

Thursday 13
GW Bush, the absolute worst president who ever defiled a rose garden, is about to leave office. Nearly everyone has something to say about our 8-year journey into the small mind of this malevolent little man. In case you need inspiration, here are..

A bit more about A bit of weird
As it turns out, there is a story that (sort of ) explains the tiptoe-on-the-wine-bottles picture in my last post.
Once upon some time, several buyers visited a German winery in Zell(Mosel) to choose the best barrel available. The owner's black cat jumped onto a particular barrel and growled and batted at anyone who came near it. The men decided that barrel must be the best and lo, it sold "like hotcakes." (The wine is a light Reisling--think Blue Nun.)
The story (and subsequent grape harvests) are celebrated with a wine festival on the last weekend in June and the black cat makes many appearances, especially on wine labels, and apparently it can balance in human form on empty wine bottles.
