Americans run to Mexico for flu shot

Coronas, maybe. Flu shot, no.

cHIM CHIM Sherry

Pink champagne is a godsend. Or maybe I just think it is in this moment. Whatever the case, it's doing the trick.
Maybe everything that I thought that I knew about life is all wrong. How can one ever be sure? The big bad world is a crazy place, the craziest thing being that there is no road map. There are no signs in the grand scheme of things, no arrow saying you are here (or not all there)!
We muddle through, though. We do what we have to do, I suppose.
I like my blog. It has no nutritional value, but it's still satisfying! Kind of like a pork rind. It is my vacation, my thought Disneyland if you will.
I have been learning a lot about the impact of thought on individual life perception. Sometimes I laugh at how funny the human race really is, and how for the most part we, (myself included), don't even realize it. If there are extraterrestrial beings of extreme intelligence out there I bet they just love to watch us walking around in circles banging our collective heads on the wall day in and day out.
I went to see "Team America: World Police". It was pretty good, I'd have to say the best thing about it being the Team's triumphant theme, "America, Fuck Yeah!". The tune is quintessentially American and in the tradition of the genre absolutely gaudy and over the top. The movie as a whole is by turns uproariously funny and dreadfully boring. I think Matt Parker and Trey Stone must have been sleeping off the drunk while the middle of the movie was produced as it seems to collapse as a result of the sappy underlying love story and dark cinematography. Brian fell asleep during Kim Il Jong's ballad, put it that way.
Trey and Matt: More cruel, biting satire; less weepy bullshit please! Your art scratches a certain itch for your fans.
You gotta hand it to the South Park duo though. Keeping people entertained for an hour and a half with sticks and strings is no small feat. And although some of the movie misses the mark, it's worth it to witness a ham-stuffed, hot-dog armed Michael Moore strapped with explosives burst into a screeching ball of flame.
Oh, and then there's the puppet sex.

France to jam mobiles in theaters

France. Ah, yes. There's a bunch of people with waaaay too much time on their hands. I almost forget what their last foible was, banning headscarves perhaps? Heck, it's not like they're out fighting wars or something so I can see how they might have the time to save the world one movie theatre at a time while simultaneously grappling the throes of that pesky religious headgear.
Maybe they should leave cell phone usage protocol as is. Might improve French cinema, who knows?

And the world thought we were crazy for buying Alaska.......

I think France needs to send ambassadors to Taiwan and North Korea. Have them aging cheese in no time. Who needs nukes when you've got linebergher?

Au Revoir
