abSaluki!
I am back from the land of fried food, pastoral beauty, and 700 Club bumper stickers. No, not a joke... Saw this one with my very own homosexual eyes outside the drugstore while buying herbal anti-crazies and eyeliner.
My uncle's gloss: "Marriage = Men's Bathroom + Women's Bathroom"?
You can get yours here BTW--they are free if you have a verifiable postal address that accepts mail from the 700 Club. Once I figure out how to do that I am so getting them to waste postage on me and make my uncle's joke a reality, you betcha!
A fun fact about Southern Illinois I learned this weekend: In part due to the city of Cairo (you say
that "KAY-ro" in case you are unsure) being located at its tip, and the confluence of rivers maybe, and I'm pretty sure totally unrelated to any significant north African population, the portion of southern Illinois containing Salukiville is known as "Little Egypt." We speculate this was the reason for SIU's choice of the saluki as its mascot, as they were (according to various dog websites) Egyptian war dogs in a previous era. Unfortunately I cannot find the site of the local rag that advertised itself as "Egypt's Best Daily" with an ersatz Ancient Egyptian motif.
I have not much else to report except that LJ and/or the bloody stump of K's old computer is/are conspiring against me to prevent me from replying right now. I haven't been on the LJ since Thursday or earlier so this is annoying.
Confidential (because I can't comment!) to (a) The Toast of Cincinnati and (b) a certain cell user in the Bay Area, I'm sorry things are kind of
right now, but I'm here if you need anything. (Ridiculous visual joke courtesy of hazelbateman.)
Finally, holy cow why did no one tell me Gnarls Barkley involved Cee-Lo? Thanks seaya)!
