Things my dogs have taught me

1) People who knock on the door are evil and must be destroyed
2) Recycling is good (particularly food)
3) The most important thing in life is a good belly rub
4) Finding joy in the simple things makes you a lot happier
5) Dog hair has a magnetic attraction to dark clothing
6) If it's on the floor, it's good eatin'
7) Make sure everyone knows when you're upset
8) Nothing is more satisfying than a good back scratch
9) If you enjoy the music, sing it loud
10) The best time to pleasure one's self is when guests are over

An Open Letter to Britney Spears

Dear Fruitcake,

I understand that things have been tough for you lately. But there comes a time when you have to acknowledge that you're spelunking through uncharted territory in the Caves of Insanity, and the light on your helmet has gone out, and you’re left dangling in complete darkness at the end of a rope attached to a tree half a mile above you. And now you can hear the bats beginning to stir.

Personally I've never been a fan of yours, but it's undeniable that just a few short years ago you were on top of the world. What happened? Did it start when you married that loser who shocked us all and turned out to be more stable than you? (Even though he can never be forgiven for attempting a recording career of his own. Popozao indeed.) You've become a hulking, trailer park adjacent, looks-like-she-smells-of-wet-dog-and-vodka, rehab failing, car crashing, bad wig-sporting mockery of yourself.

Between the head shaving, underpantslessness (look, I created a word), paparazzi dating, substance abuse, and hysterical freakouts, among other things, I just have two words for you: reality show. Yeah, I know you already had a reality show, but somehow I think you’d be so much more watchable now that you’re really crazy and not just a run-of-the-mill drunken moron. And due to the writers’ strike, I’m sure you could get a really good deal with the networks right now.

In conclusion: put on some underpants and get your barking mad self over to one of the television networks (Fox seems like a safe bet) and sell your crazy. Your kids may need the money later for therapy.

Sincerely,
Pie

Bring back googie!

I was reading this article (pops) about whether the city should tear down an old Denny's (previously Manning's Cafeteria & Buffet), built in 1964, which has been boarded up for some years. The question arose because the architectural style of the building is "googie", and the majority of examples of googie architecture all over the country have already been destroyed. Although Seattle does have one of the best examples: the Space Needle.

I'm a huge fan of the googie style, and I firmly believe we need to bring it back. I think the Denny's/Manning's should be renovated and turned back into the building it once was during its heyday in the 60s. Hell, I'd eat there. All new hotels should be built in the googie style, as well. How great would it be to drive down the "hotel alley" in your city and see this all around you?


Then you could go across the street and eat dinner here:


And watch a movie here:


So in conclusion: bring back googie! And if you're interested, check out the gallery of googie architecture at Space Age City (click on the Gallery link).
