I forgot to mention this amusing sidelight: I received an invitiation (an E-vitation, actually) to the Children's Television Sweatshop's "Green" Summer Picnic/Vegetarian Barbecue. This begs the question: what the fuck does a VEGETARIAN barbecue? These types probably eschew tofu dogs because they IMITATE meat products. Can you think of a prospect more dismal than such a convocation? Egad, if I slapped a mosquito they'd call the ASPCA. The Generalissimo also requested that these cheerful vegans "please bring a dish to pass, your own beverage and recyclable/reusable place setting." If I HAD to attend this funeral, I personally know what beverage I would bring--but these drips would make me pour it out in case I accidentally had too much fun. Nope, no guilt here. I hope the Generalissimo sits in the grass, gets a tick on his ass (which he refuses to remove on humanitarian grounds), and gets a nice case of Lyme disease to kick off the new Fall season.
