I've been new car shopping. Everytime I do this, I try to get as much advice as I can--namely from someone who knows a lot about cars. Geoffy knows everything there is to know about cars, and the last time he was in my neck of the woods he was laughing at me because he said I "drive with dick". Hence, here is our correspondance about my lust for a 2001 Celica. Scroll down to see the earlier emails. My initial question was something to the effect of 'would getting a celica be a bad thing?':


Raindropkeepfallingonmyheadandnotmydick,


The 140 HP you're lusting after--while a larger penile pole projection
that I'll casually, smashingly refer to as, "your dick," --(insert apologies
to the Skatenigs here)-- isn't really meant to be driven with full-out,
raging, pulsing, purple-headed hardon. Such is the realms of v-8 Mustangs,
Camaros, and the like.

Those will ensure a happy dick.

However, without succumbing to penile-cranial inversion (also in
layman's (not to be confused with Laymon, also known as Dick, but a well
loved Dick he was, and did not sufer from penile cranial inversion)
terms, dickheadedness), and attempting to forgo such dickness tendencies
as want over need, as well as want over afford, I would suggest, then,
without sounding like TOO much of a dick, of pursuing the Celica of which
you have a hardon for.

I think a Supra would whet to your dick-recognition center (I know
I could work "wet" into here if I so chose, but will refrain.), myself,
but then again, we're venturing into dicknesses such as finance, availability,
etc., etc.

Thus, this swinging dick says "go for it!" A 140 horsepower dick
is probably a nice balance of size, power, economy and cost for you.
But before committing to one dick, I urge you to try several. Make
a day--a weekend, even--fuckit, take a week off of work and go shopping
for dicks! Try 'em all out! Several in an afternoon! Inspect them,
get a load of the "new dick" smell. Walk through the showroom, and avoid
the Sales Dicks, go and play--yes, definitely, play, Rainy--play with
any dick you like! Take matters into your own hand!

(Is National Masturbation week coming (ha ha ho ho and hee hee) up
(snicker) soon? I think it should.)

I've GOT to stop reading Tom Robbins.....


Later!

A review is up at TerrorTales Online of the Maynard & Simms anthology, Darkness Rising. Here's what they have to say about "Old Lady Cat Trash:"

"Lastly there’s Mark McLaughlan and Rain Graves’ ‘Old Lady Cat-Trash’, about an old trailer park woman who keeps cats and hides a pretty dark secret. This only serves to remind us of what top-class writers these two are." -- Paul Kane, TerrorTales Online

Oh yes, Peter, darling--if you are reading this--I need a new dress:-)

So sunday was a total bust. Well, not total, but almost everything that could go wrong in a show went wrong on sunday... We danced in Berkeley at a small theater somewhere on San Pablo. They don't serve alcohol there, so my partner had to go on without his customary double shot of vodka, and his teacher was in the very front row. There was also some vague tango-drama afoot, not important enough to mention other than it was not connected with us or his instructor--thank the gods.

The stage set up was small--and the band was to the left of us, as we faced the audience. We had a triangular shaped cubby hole of a dance space; so small and weird that when we began steps, we often finished them into the wall--for no other reason other than there wasn't much else to do. It was either the wall or over the front of the stage, and we tried that once (once being enough to know better). About halfway through the second set, my heel caught (and I wore some thicker heels so the spike wouldn't catch on the fringe of my dress) on my fringe edged flapper dress, creating an audible rrriiiiiiip sound as my leg came down to find the floor. I tried to bring my leg back up to release the fringe from it, but it would not budge. I was terrified that my partner might not know, that he might take a grandeous step too soon and send me sprawling on my ass. The Gods were good, however, and I was able to do a series of really bad fake-dancey-steps to get the fringe unhooked from my heel.

When it was done, we finished the set and I caught his teacher laughing to himself from the front row, heckling him all the while. It was next to impossible, dancing in the small space of that stage--and I was reluctant to do anything too fancy for fear of loosing what little footing there was. Especially after having to pin the gaping hole up in my dress--and realizing that as much as I pulled the tiny slip-ette underneath it down, my big ass was still bared through the sheer black and burn-out velvet material of the dress for the world to see. Thank goodness for dance-pants. I wonder if Jennifer Lopez has ever had this problem.

The band was incredibly good, however, and I'd be happy to dance for them again. My partner would never let on--but it was clear enough to me that we danced pretty poorly, and that even the conditions were not so good of an excuse when his instructor was in the front row. Vamonos Tanguera! he'd shouted at the end, but I will not forget the laugh in his eye. At least I didn't get as much heckling as Count.

Still no word from the Argentine Consulate. It's beginning to wear on my nerves... Antonio says things are extremely bad in Argentina right now. I still want to go.
