Burning Rubber

Moments ago, I heard a blood-curdling screech just outside my window. Looking out, I witnessed this BMW inscribe with great speed a zero into the asphalt. The burning tires produced a sizable cloud of charcoal smoke that rose over the rooftops across the street. After a couple breakneck spins, the driver then pulled gently to the curb, got out of the car, and walked casually into his home.

That’s just how we roll on Alcatraz Ave.

Coal Burning Hover Bike

President George W. Bush:

“We need to get on a path away from a fossil fuel economy.”

Nice! Moments later...

“I have asked congress for more than $2 billion over ten years for my coal research initiative.”

White and Delightsome

Photos from the White Party in Vancouver are up. Beautiful decor and wonderful people. Don’t know what I’m going to do with these shoes and glasses now. I’ll let my faithful blog readers have the first whack at ’em before they go on eBay. Shall we start the bidding at $.05 for the entire ensemble?

Elliott’s Chicken and Egg

I’m often charmed by kids’ art, but this takes the cake.

Kevin Bacon, Undercover in Mormonland

It may already be common LDS folklore, but this was news to me: Kevin Bacon tells Terry Gross about how he enrolled as an exchange student at a Provo, Utah high school while doing research for “Footloose”. Fascinating. The story begins at 23:45, but you should listen to the entire interview. He’s a pretty articulate guy.

I had big guys threatening to beat me up, and girls giggling … it was very much like the movie.

… these kids were all farmers and jocks and dressed accordingly, and I had a sorta punk hairdo and skinny tie and funky-lookin’ jacket and stuff like that. I remember them looking at me like I was a freak.”

Calliope’s Birds and Bears

Witness the delightful paintings of my chum Calli — Vancouver designer, rock ’n’ roller, fellow type nerd, wordsmith, merper. Need one ask for more? No, I say.

Stewfcester Square … Stewfmeade Circus … Stewfedge in the Vale … High Stewfbottom … For some reason I just adore this.

Nether Stewfforth Manor! Awesome!
