Clinton Song

Y'all! Hillary Clinton is apparently asking the world for suggestions for her theme song for her campaign! And I have several Eurythmical suggestions, which I am sure Annie and Dave would daft enough to be proud to let her have! (they're lovely musicians but not quite bright in terms of politics- go practice your flute and guitar some more dearies, or take drugs like you used to when y'all were relevant.)

Ooh! What about So from what I hear, Hillary Clinton is asking for suggestions for her campaign song, and I have several Eurythmical suggestions-

Some of them might have to be edited a little-

How about:
My My, you're all going to cry when I get elected
Why?
Here comes that sinking feeling
Cool Blue
The King and Queen of America
How Long?
Shame
Put the Blame on Me
Missionary Man
The Last Time (I voted Democratic)
I remember my job
I remember food
Regrets
The first Cut
Somebody Told Me (not to vote for you and by God, were they right)
I've Tried Everything (to claw my way to power except get rightfully elected)
I Want it All
Revenge
All the Young People (of Today will vote Republican in 2012)

Hee!

The Wide Bride

So here is what (has happened,because I'm finishing this, like, weeks later) in Traland. (new word! Is that not cool, y'all?)

Wednesday Trey had tickets to see some band- these were some people whom he sees at every concert he goes to, and apparently they have a band, so we went to see them at the Masquerade.

That was a lot of fun, because I wore my action Transvestite outfit and blonde twins who looked like UGA cheerleaders hit on me and one of them lifted my shirt and licked my nipple! 'Can I have your face?" she asked. So there, action-transvestite doubters!

Also Friday we went to a party for some dude who works at Trey's gym and is moving to the Florida Keys.

This was held at some place called Amsterdam Walk, and I honestly have never been so glad to be married in all my life, because all the guys there were seriously old and yucky looking. I hope that poppers or something is what makes you look that old, at least I hope that something that I have never done makes you look old like that because they made Jessica Tandy look like Paris Hilton.

What is the deal with gays? They're like 25 and then all of a sudden, one night they wake up and like Rip Van Winkle they are old trolls? Seriously, you almost never see decent, middle aged looking gay dudes. Maybe, like cicadas, they go underground for 17 years. O and it is not nice at all when you don't got it and you flaunt it, or you did have it like during the Carter administration, and you still think you got it, and - - - no.

For example, the guy who was going away- Dan- he is a vegetarian- and I am thinking, this is not a good way to promote vegetarianism, because if this is a demonstration of the health benefits of working out and eating vegetables, I am going to sit on my couch and eat 24- ounce bloody porterhouse steaks.

AND then he tried to give Trey a HICKEY, and I so wished I had been wearing my action transvestite heels, because then I stuck my action-transvestite pointy heel right up his ass.

I think I would have been angrier if he had been (attractive) no, make that humanoid, but I do not have to worry about Trey having found this an enjoyable experience. These dudes were not, let me repeat, even attractive in a kind of mature-successful-distinguished Bob Lutz kind of way. And I don't like gay club music, either. Let's hope that a steady diet of that has made them old and icky looking.

Then Saturday, we went to a wedding, so we have had quite the social life recently! I imagine when I start law school I'll crawl back (under my rock) into my bathtub and read a lot so I'd best bestow the blessings of my presence now, as liberally as possible.

I did not know the people getting married; this was on a horse pasture out in Canton, and somewhat unromantic. Now I am going to make a lot of fat jokes.

Why, you want to know? How could you partake of these kind people's generous hospitality and then jejeunely mock them?

Because, dear friends, I am fascinated by the morbidly obese, bad wigs/toupees, and the variety of disasters that people choose to inflict upon themselves. Sylvia Plath was fascinated by a dead baby in a bottle, but the dead baby didn't CHOOSE to be in the bottle; it is much more interesting to contemplate why, for example, someone would choose to wear a really awful wig, or get plastic surgery which you think makes you look younger but just makes you look like Katherine Harris, or achieve the same size as a national monument. Tattoos, I think, do not count, because tattoos are not done with the idea of improving one's appearance. So they are only kind of gross, but really more stupid.

But seriously, y'all, she was like The U.S.S. Perla. I mean, I did not know whether to hug her in greeting or to christen her, she was like, an aircraft carrier stuffed into a bridal gown.

It was like the Weekly World News! GIGANTIC BRIDE marries, then devours spouse! Nom nom nom!

I guess her mother had spent her days of confinement watching Orson Welles advertise Gallo Wines, and very, very recent Marlon Brando movies. Or maybe she had been frightened by the Michelin Man while carrying Perla. Or maybe all she had to watch was Ghostbusters and watched the Sta-Puf man over and over, because y'all, she had gotten to the point where- you know how when people get really big, their arms get shorter? Her arms- they were like the flippers- of the penguin.
I honestly did not know that you could BUY a wedding dress in a triple-digit size. How many girls do you think get married who have no neck and trapezoidal heads?

I think after they get married, then her wedding dress will have a long and happy after life as a car cover. Or she could send it to Sally Struthers and have it shelter at least a family of four in more comfort than a Katrina Trailer. The Dionne Quintuplets (look it up, Alex) could have gotten married in that dress.

I suppose the groom is thinking, I really would like to have a fivesome! every day of my life! Although thus far he has been sadly disappointed in his quest. He has bravely soldiered on by having sex every day with a woman who is the EQUIVALENT of 5 different women! Imagine! (Or don't) Her pussy- could be so huge- it would be like DIFFERENT pussy every day, because you'd never hit the same place twice. 5 times the pussy of an ordinary woman, but the same mouth, and it's stuffed with food most of the time! I bet you could hide in between her folds of flab and make it into some kind of sex game. I (seriously) wondered if they were going to be able to have children, because in order to be able to conceive, it has to be close enough to put the little sperms into the hole, right? And they can't be deposited, like, in the desert of her gigantic thighs and wander around like the Jews after they left Egypt because they will all die.

It's a good thing she's not a lesbian because for her to have a baby, they could not use a turkey baster. No. They would have to use a garden hose. Also I do not think it is physically possible for her to get any larger, she would then be seriously a national monument.

I hope Alex is reading this on his lunch break.

Congratulations! You're a Cat Lady!

Y'all, I am, like all not supposed to write this! So if I end up dead or something, then you know I suffered the fearsome wrath of Alex, "and stuff" but you see, journalistic truth has to prevail, and I do not know if you have suffered Alex's wrath, but I am married to someone who threw the dining table on more than one occasion so- yeah. I am trying to think if Alex is capable of darning anyone to heck, probably, but I haven't noticed Alex roused out of his lizard-like complacency recently and you know how I am about rattling the gilded cages of the bourgeois. Just wait until his next cookout. We plan to dress Extra Up for it.

Anyway, so I am going to make you read all the way to the end for the parts I am extra not supposed to say.

Cathy (notice, please, that her name already has Cat in it, so she is a prime candidate for Cat Lady)
(and stuff) <-- (please note Alex's contribution to this essay) and I are planning on going on vacation, much to Trey's disgust.
You never told me about this, he pouts.
Yes, I did, I've been asking you about 4th of July for weeks.
Well- and he tries to think of what objection he can raise- I don't see why you have to go with her.
Because you can't go! I say!
You didn't give me the dates, he says.

This is a lie. I told him, and actually I was wrong, because dates involve numbers (and stuff) that school starts on the 14th of August and ANYTIME, like the entire summer, from the 29th of may until the 14th of August would be fine. Trey forgets and asks for the 13-20th August off. Then while we were in North Carolina for Memorial Day, he asks me, What month is the 4th of July in?

So Cathy and I are trying to plan a vacation for the 4th of July, because last time I went and we had fun. Now what I would like to point out to you gracious readers is that Cathy wants to stay in a place which costs !$245 a night, which was nice but, really, it wasn't $!245 a night nice. for that price I want 24-hour servants and hot and cold running gin. I found several other places in the same area for- well, less, about 150-180 a night, which is fine with me, I think fancy NY hotels don't cost that much. (not that I would know)

Cathy did not like several of these places. Ewww, the decor, she observed. They have RED WHITE AND BLUE inside their house, EWWW, it's so tacky! I could never stay there! I want to stay in a place with good feng shui. Cathy points this out as though I had suggested we stay in a very recently vacated abattoir.

Frankly, the feng shui I am most concerned about is the feng shui involved in not emptying my wallet unnecessarily. As those of you who have been to my house know, decor is not one of my things. We have crammed into this house the equivalent of ten gallons of books into a 5 gallon pot, plus assorted mannequin heads. I'm not going to pay any extra for whatever decor this is. I'm going to the beach, and I plan on buying some law school textbooks and previewing them at the beach. She's definitely barking up the wrong tree when it comes to decor, because my family (this is true) decorates their houses in Yard Sale plus things they find on the side of the road.

Cathy badly wants to know where to meet single men. I have no idea what delusion has convinced her I know this. I don't KNOW any single men; at least, I don't know any that would be appropriate for Cathy, or anyone at all as a matter of fact. All the men I know are married or in couples, so I offer her some limp suggestions, which she rejects.
You could drive my car for a week, and see who tries to pick you up, I suggest, because men are very interested in my car.
She does not seem to appreciate this.
You could go to Trackside, because the people are always friendly and will talk to you, but they are a little peculiar, by which I mean they have metal parts sticking out from them in unexpected places and are generally well tattooed.
She does not like this idea either.
You could walk your dog in Piedmont park, I offer. You could go to the Laundromat, there might be single guys there, but actually in my Laundromat days I only saw women with lots of small children.
Cathy does not accept this. You must know lots of single guys, she tells me. Y'all are hip and go places.

I have no idea where she gets these notions. Apparently I am leading some fabulous invisible life that I am unaware of. We do not go anywhere, at least I don't, and I don't think she's likely to appreciate the sort of chaps Trey likes to hang about with. I go to Work, about 70 hours a week during the school year, and then work some more during the summer, and make beer and run around like mad trying to bring order into chaos, which means fixing all the things that are broken and making abortive stabs at cleaning the house.

So here we have a stellar candidate for Cat Lady. Also we have two others whom I am not supposed to talk about, but you know who they are, and we are just going to have to see who is going to wind up in their forties living with Trey and myself and ducking incomprehensible arguments.
