Yesterday, we made a second trip to the South Florida Fair, which boasted an extremely unique attraction (so get ready Alane): a pair of identicle twin midgets touring the Fair on miniature segways. Here in Palm Beach County, there resides a pair of minor celebrities named the Hulett Brothers (Guiness recognizes them as the worlds smallest identical twins), famous not only for their miniscule size and enormous wealth (they are real estate moguls and owners of a pest control company), but for the very disturbing commercials they make for our local TV stations. Everyday we are forced to view twin midgets dressed up like spiders or the Blues Brothers while singing and dancing to Y.M.C.A. (Alane you can expect a tape on your birthday). Now, seeing the twins is a common occurrence for a local like myself -- what disturbed me were those miniature segways. I find those segway human transporters creepy anyway (like something out of a bad Star Trek episode), but seeing them shrunk by some reducer ray and commandeered by midget clones has plagued me with nightmares. For those unfamiliar with the segway, you can click here: Amazon.com: Electronics: Segway Human Transporter (HT) i Series.

Joe is right, I did unfortunately miss the Mariachi Band, I was home listening to a Morrissey record....without the music...or humor. I used to have a picture on my dorm-room door of Michael Jackson with a mariachi band. It was fascinating.

I was also asked about the official Kahuna Sneaker Count. It stands firmly at 17, just three shy of maxing out the shoe rack I got him for Christmas. I expect he will soon be applying the same principles to his shoes that he does to his CDs. One rack for holiday shoes, one rack for white leather etc.

As Valentines Day approaches I know somewhere in Castle 1525 awaits a giant stockpile of the world's supply of Lifesaver lollipops waiting to be freed.
