Monday modifications

Random acts of sweetness?

Say it ain't so.

After much consideration, I've decided to modify yesterday's oath of total sweetness. (See, Petey baby, unlike some folks, I TREASURE my pancreas and don't want to totally annihilate it.)

Therefore, I will temper sarcasm and rants about some stuff with ooey-gooey-sticky-sweet-tooth-rotting-rush-inducing sweetness and light.

Why am I doing this?

Well...let's just say this...I'm having problems with the things I write being mangled into total, complete and unilateral mutations of their former selves. It's one thing if I mangle stuff, and it's another thing if information is taken out of context and mangled by others.

If you'd like further information, I can express myself fully in a private e-mail.

Thank you,
The Management

RIP, Patricia Kennedy Lawford.

I've talked about Christopher Kennedy Lawford's book (Symptoms of Withdrawl) before...if you haven't read it, do so. It's totally worth it. He honestly (and lovingly) describes his relationships with both his mother and dad. Plus, the man is DEFINITELY easy on the eyes, and there's many, many pictures of him lookin' mighty fine.

Oh my...I think I overheated...I think it's time to change the subject.

From the "Something Sudiegirl Will Never Be" department...

This article discusses the trend of "paid blogging" for politicos in the DC area. This is something I know I'll never be...you wanna know why?

1. My entries would say (and I guess I'm my grandpa Dawson's girl when I say this) "You're all nuts."

2. I'd make fun of all the candidates.

3. I'd make my cat Millie write up the entries and I'm pretty sure there's laws against cat labor.

Granted, I think it's cool, but I guess politics isn't my bag as far as blogging is concerned. My opinions swing between conservative and liberal (depending on the topic). Therefore, I would not be able to be a "yes blogger", which I think is what they expect.

Now, if it was a "Reasons Why Chubby Hubby Ice Cream Should Be Consumed In Mass Quantities by Everyone In The World Because It's The Best Thing Ever Made, Amen" blog, or "Why George Clooney Should Be My Love Slave" blog, then I could get behind that. Until then...sorry, Charlie.

OK...not sure if this is a "dumb luck" or "butthead award" winner, but considering it's my blog, my rules, and the company is named Rancho Sudiegirl, Inc., we'll do both.




















Recipients: Donnie Lee Amis, 50, of Washington DC, and Cassandra Albritton, 44, of Mitchellville, MD.

Reason: Falling asleep on the drug run, and running out of gas.

To quote the article:

...when Donnie Lee Amis, 50, of Washington, D.C., and Cassandra Albritton, 44, of Mitchelville, Md., fell asleep in a tan 2000 Honda Accord parked on a main Maryland highway, they not only ended up arrested, but caused gridlock for thousands of rush-hour commuters.

Troopers are unsure whether the two were really in dreamland or were just pretending to be asleep, but the duo ignored numerous orders to step out of the vehicle, which authorities believe was out of gas.

All of this culminated into a three hour standoff that shut down part of a main MD highway AND resulted in three hours of gridlock traffic.

Oh, did I mention the car was stolen? Yup...

Charges: None listed in this article, but I don't imagine the outlook is good for these two jailbirds.

Judge's comments:

Another couple of people who are making their parents proud, or else proving that they were indeed lead paint eaters...what do you think?

Hope the drugs were good. However, I guess the consumers will never know, will they?

I have one more award, but I'm savin' it until tomorrow so you'll just have to wait.

Nyah-nyah-nyah.
