As you all know, Katrina safely breezed in and out of South Florida without really interrupting everday life in Spumoni South. It gave us an excuse to eat Double Stuff Oreos and wash them down with Baileys and Cream on a Thursday night. I felt like an alcoholic octagenarian named Seamus O'Malley when I said aloud "I think I'm gonna put some of this Bailey's in my coffee too." Got a little surprise in Spumoni South yesterday (I can't believe Maria Rose and Marlena didnt mention this) The Vin-man has a new toy: a motorized chair. IT IS AWESOME. He zips around corners now like Mario Andretti...and hes loving it. I also think it provides a visual symbol of his patriarchal authority; much like Dr. Evil or Captain Kirk...the largest or most ornate chair identifies the man in charge. Also, Nebraska Joe is correct there is a 15 year old bag of potato chips in Castle 1526, it sits right next to the 20 year old bag of Lifesaver lollipops (cherry and cherrry swirl perfect for Valentines Day....1984). Not to mention they will soon be filming a special on the Discovery Channel where they dramatically thaw out an extinct animal (last time it was a fully intact Wooly Mammoth)....this episode it will be a Baby Watson Cheesecake (species name Dessertus Goto Helenus). I must also mention my fascination with a particular post, did Nebraska Joe say hes not only been to a weather conference...but in fact multiple weather conferences? Thats excellent news, because we can use his expert testimony in our argument that Jim Cantore is a douchebag. I also thank Nebraska Joe for his call to Spumoni from the Bayou yesterday. It defintely made the Big Kahuna happy, hes talking about taking a trip to the Cornhusker State. As for Joey's suggestion there would defintely be a Hurricane Fusco and a Hurricane Ruffles. Well I gotta running, fueling my workday is a work soundtrack providing by mixmaster Ree in the wee hours of the morning. "Bad Touch" by the Bloodhoung Gang has just been followed by "Porcelain" by Moby. Thats genius.
