I'd hit that ... if only for the punk points.

You already have so many punk points just for being your fabulous self. Only hit it if you'd have a good time doing so.

When I was a go-go dancer living with a dj (not sleeping with, living with ... different this time) we had a chart on the wall where we tracked all the accumulated punk points for everyone in our friend group. It was sorta like a football league chart with boxes where we put stickers. It had various fun categories like, "Vomit in public" and stuff. One of the categories was "Have sex with Aarhead."

Since I know you are going to drop everything and work on my icon needs, here’s what I want! Using this picture…

Show Top woman

“Didn’t you used to be big?”

Show Bottom woman

“I’m still big! It’s the clubs that got small!”

Rinse, repeat.

Get on it and report back. I expect to hear back from you within five minutes.

Bah HA HA HA! Okay, lemme nurse my hangover for a few hours and I'll make it happen. Is that from Margaret Pierce?

I have no idea. It was featured on Fabulon today. Are you unaware of Fabulon? OMG! You are dead to me! You can live again by clicking below.

Frak! I cannot get to it right now. I am in the library and they have some type of net-nanny bullshit here. Remind me tomorrow that you are dead to me.

What does your penis think of me? I hope I can still be in its good graces. If I'm dead to you, I need a gigantic penis to cry into.

$4 Trader Joe's wine is better than $4 Safeway wine. Uuuuusually.

I don't know. $3 buck Chuck has always been kind of dissapointing. Perhaps it's because I heard how wonderful and cheap it was for so long before I actually tried it. It hadn't a chance of living up to the hype. The very same thing happened with Forrest Gump for me. Would I have liked it if I'd not heard a thing about either of them? We'll never know ( ... )

3 buck chuck is...unpredictable. Because they sell oceans of it, so they have various sources. They had some not-too-bad cabernet sauvignon not too long ago, and then suddenly the Charles Shaw cabernet had a disgusting artificial-vanilla aftertaste. The thing about Trader's is that they have other wines for $3.50 (the Trader's brand Chileans), $4, $5...quite a few more than at Safeway or Fred's.

Yes, free red is veddy dangerous.

What, I'm off the Internet 24 hours and you abandon me and my journal?

Okay, consistency has to be there for wine, as I know NOTHING about it. The year means something, the weather on bottling day means something, the brand of shampoo the bottler used means something. I have no time nor the inclination to care about such things. I just want a wine that goes down easily and stays down in large quantities. Basically, I want the Wonder Bread of wine. Cheap, not that outstanding, but the same experience every time you try it.

So in short, Trader Joe's wine is too much like real wine. There are too many unknowns that can affect the same kind of wine and then you have to decide between the 2007 and the 2009, blah blah blah blah. Although I promise if you and I are ever sharing a bottle of red that I will at least take it out of the paper bag and try to not embarrass you.
