mixed with nasty comments on Wonkette of Matt Welch’s Snowmaggedon video

Depth…takes a holiday? – Dashboard_Buddha

In Minneapolis we call this “Thursday” – This Cat

Yo Snowmageddon I’m really happy for you and I’m gonna let you finish, but the Blizzard of 77 was the baddest snowstorm of all time! – Crank Tango

In watching the video, I see people in the windows mouthing the words ‘Oh look-another retard with a video camera filming snow and pretending to be journalistic.’ You know what this video needs-blood, lots of blood
….the blood of Matt Welch spilling all over the sidewalk while the undead within the buildings come to feast upon his twitching soon-to-be-lifeless flesh. – vaporware

C’mon you guys! Y’all are really harshing on poor Matt Welsh and his umbrella trek to Whole Foods to get, um, dish detergent. For nine whole minutes. Florida would shut freakin’ DOWN if we got snow. – hoosiermama

Texas shuts down when we have morning frost on our lawns. – El Pinche

As a former resident of the city of Miami, I recall having all the snow we ever wanted — year round. And we LIKED it. – RoscoePColtraine

Seems like a nice neighbourhood. Pretty snow on the trees. WHAT ARE THEY COVERING UP?!!!11? – the problem child

the thing about sarah palin reading from her hand

.. is she did it during question time

the former governor is flirting with the idea of running for president

of the united states.

and although both mrs palin and mr obama read speeches from paper

imagine if president obama wrote on his hand for this recent Question Time with the GOP?

its hard for me to believe that his critics would instead be today writing about the weather in DC

dont get me wrong, i like weather stories as much as the next guy. just yesterday i gave you posts about the mudslides in LA and the snowstorm in DC. but i dont sit around spending most of my day analyzing politics.

i spend most of my day analyzing the interwebs. and the interweb right now is laughing at the writing on the hand.

as an independent, i couldnt care less who the GOP chooses to run against Obama, but i think that even in the wake of what went down last night at the Gaylord in Nashville, it would be foolish of the Left to underestimate Sarah Palin or the tea baggers.

Mass underestimated the Cosmo centerfold dude who drove a truck and now hes driving that truck to DC. and you need a truck it appears to get around there today.

likewise some would say the GOP underestimated the freshman senator from IL not that long ago.

one thing i love about America is anything can happen at anytime, and anyone can be the most powerful person when you least expect it.

three things on a super bowl saturday

1. this is black history month. yay blacks!

2. whenevers theres a new picture of a madpony named kristin you should prob post it

3. almost two years ago i was written about in a blog about the college of creative studies, the school that changed my life. and yet today was the first time i saw it. not only is the post about me cool but the whole damn blog is great. so much history. who knew? its like Lost!

i want all the things you want

love, peace, some good food every now and then

rock bands who actually know how to rock

a clean, well-lighted place to forget something

long walks on the beach, slow strolls inside novelty stores, stolen kisses.

girls who just arent rich, but built too.

there was a time when i was depressed a lot. it was called youth.

then something happens and you realize alls well. you can work yr body. you can eat,

you can stand on yr own two feet. and best of all, you can do it alone.

just like you i want pee-wee’s bike back.

but until then, i’ll settle for everything else.

its been an eventful week in busblog land

tuesday i had an amazing dinner with the beautiful and talented deliciouslife sarah whose review of my favorite sushi place im eagerly awaiting.

then last night i saw Pee-Wee Herman’s new live Playhouse show at Club Nokia with the truest. and tonight i think im hanging out with young karisa.

but back to Pee Wee. he was amazing. and the clip above is from the opening of the show where we are reunited with many of the characters that we remember from our childhood. theyre all back. he even has a few new friends, including this weird bizarre teddy bear dude.

the place was mostly packed. tickets werent cheap, but heres the busblog tip: if youre in the neighborhood around 730pm, just go to the box office and see if they have any $20 “rush tickets”. no you wont see geddy neil and alex, but you might be able to see Pee Wee, Chairy, Konky, Clocky, and Miss Yvonne and King of Cartoons, and lots of folks for just one Andrew Jackson.

really fun show. some of it was borderline adult, which of course everyone loved.

afterwards we were starving but it was cold in LA last night. i was bundled up with a hoodie and a knit cap. not exactly what people wear to the fancy restaurants around Nokia Live. probably the only place we’d have felt comfortable was the ESPN Zone, and the lake show was in the fourth quarter, but seriously, the ESPN Zone? with a girl? yeah, no.

so we went to the Pantry. which isnt really female friendly either, but soooo comfortable. she had the pancakes (breakfast served all day!) and i had the chicken fried steak.

took the redline home. watched Real World. passed out. full. happy. smiling cuz of pee wee. who stills got it. and doesnt appear to have aged a bit.
