DEAR DIGERATI

I HAVE NOT YET GOTTEN HEAD FROM ANYONE ON FRIENDSTER AND THIS IS A CONCERN. DESPITE MULTIPLE EMAILS I RECEIVE NO SATISFACTION. PLEASE RETURN YOUR WHUFFIES BY THE NEXT POST.

ALSO THE PERSON ON YAHOO! MESSENGER WHO SAYS SHE’S A SUICIDEGIRL HAS NOT YET MET ME AT THE COFFEE BEAN & TEA LEAF AND I SUSPECT SOME INTERNET TRICKERY OF UNKNOWN TYPE.

ALL IN ALL THIS WHOLE INTERNET HOBBY HAS PRODUCED A LOT OF COREDUMPS AND NOT MUCH IN THE WAY OF SWEET FLOWING BEAUTIFUL LOVE AND IT’S CLEAR THAT IT WAS OVER PROMOTED. I SUPPOSE YOU THINK YOU CAN JUST GET AWAY WITH THAT DON’T YOU.

SIGNED MORNING WOOD IN CALIFORNIA (PLEASE DO NOT USE MY REAL NAME WHICH IS ABDUL MCKINNON).

P.S. I TAKE BACK WHAT I SAID IN THE OTHER EMAIL ABOUT YOUR CREAMY, SMOOTH THIGHS

O CANADA

My Kanadian Kommute in Southern California today:

1) On the radio, Dan Aykroyd screaming “I love my COUNTRY! I love my FLAG!” at some shindig in Toronto.

2) A car in front of me on the freeway with a bumper sticker that was made to look like a strip of film, with the Canadian flag crossed out and “GOT WORK?” on it. Someone is pissed about all that filming up north.

3) I was cut off by a guy in a big silver Mercedes SL 500… with Québec plates.

Who’s down with BFD?

Next door to the coffee house is a strip mall. In the strip mall are a couple of decent places to eat, a tanning parlor, the usual frozen yogurt place, and in the last year or so a wireless phone shop. This place is run by some fast young good-looking types and they have a promotionally flagged Humvee with the company’s name on it, etc. They hang out in the Napa Valley’s sports bar a lot.

A couple of the waiters at the Napa discovered that the wireless bro-guys had made a rather strange promotional item for their store. An item that pretty much sums up “bling bling”. So, of course, it was acquired. So, of course, I got a shot of one of the waiters wearing it.

That’s just sick, Chris.
