"Well I Ain't Gonna Vote For You"

It's Sunday, so I must be looking for new Shelley Winters clips on YouTube.



I sure hope she & Leslie Nielsen are having a good time up in heaven right now.

Like Chocolate & Peanut Butter

OK, so last year when I drove to Maryland and back to see my nephew, I listened to Della Reese the entire way. This year? I played the new Kanye on loop back and forth.

Mashing up what might be the best song with the Muppets? An act of extreme disrespect or genius?



I mean, if you can make the Virgin Mary out of elephant poop and call it art, then this too deserves its spot in the Brooklyn Museum. And Miss Piggy oinking out the best rap in the piece? My life is complete. Right key, right hole baby.

Right Key, Wrong Hole Baby

Touched by an Angel indeed.

God Bless you to BITS, Miss Della Reese. God Bless you, to bits.

Remember How Christmas Was Last Month?


Maybe today is also like Christmas.

News Item:
Also? My favoritest of all her videos, today at least.



I mean, how can you go wrong with the skirt/hat/table/light combo? Oh, them heavy people.

This Is How We Do It, Waterfall Style

A frequent commenter on this site once said "Please explain what the hell is going on in these photos. Thank you." in reference to the last post I made on the waterfalls. Thus, a step by step on how you conquer every fear you've ever had by rappelling down a waterfall in Costa Rica.

First, you get all cinched in by the ticos.

Helmets, pads, belty things.

Then you cross a horrifying rope bridge.

Jump in and flop about in the water a bit.

Then you get to SLIDE DOWN a waterfall, like you're in an amusement park. Also, you bruise up your back a bit.

One tico scurries down the falls, then another ties you in and sorta explains to you what you're supposed to be doing (but mostly you gotta figure it out yourself).


Then? You just position yourself over the edge, lean back, and heave off.

See how far down that little man is?




Also, maybe you fall once or twice and have to pull yourself up. Confidence building!



Then you're at the bottom. Like superheroes!


God bless our brave men of Costa Rica.
