Laura Bush's Diary


So I was sitting around the porch smoking a spliff with Jenna when W came running out from his den. Jenna palmed it and dropped it in the flower pot on the deck. She’s quick that way and she didn’t want her Daddy to get pissed. Ever since W went sober he gets real disappointed when he sees anyone lighting up. That’s why he was always kinda pissed at Cheney all the time. He would always be lighting up a Philly Blunt with some weed in it. It was the only thing that took the edge off.

So anyway he was bursting with it. “Laura you won’t believe this shit. Barry is really fuckin up this thing down in New Orleans. That oil well is just spewing out oil like nobodies business. He can’t get it capped. It’s just coming out and there ain’t no stopping it. They say they are getting Kevin Costner’s company to cap this gusher. Waddaya think of them apples?”

I had to laugh at that one. “Well shitfire W if they are calling a Hollywood pussy to cap a gusher they better dig up old Milton Berle and put him on the case. Just like old Poppy did.” W looked at me and then started to laugh so hard he doubled over. “Damnation Laura, I forgot all about that. I guess you’re right as rain. Too bad Uncle Miltie is toes up he had the pipe to cap that well.”

You see I might have mentioned that W and his daddy had a lot of things in common. Now everybody knows that they were both Presidents and fought a war against Iraq and a whole bunch of political shit that wasn’t all that important. But the one thing that set them apart is there love of water sports. Not volleyball or any of that gay shit. You know they like it when women pee on them.

Anyhoo they both love a woman with a good flow. Now it is always a balance between attractiveness and the amount of pee they could do when they are doing the dirty deed. When W and I were first going out we would compare notes about our exploits. I told him about Gorilla Monsoon’s monkey “hand” so to speak and he would talk about Sandy Duncan. She would strain and strain and barely come up with a cup of pee. Which was one of the reasons they broke up. Other than the fact she didn’t like when W tried to fuck her empty eye socket. So that sort of worked out for me.

Well we went from talking about our exploits to that of people we know and W went on and on about his Dad. You know Poppy was quite the cocksman in his early days. But that wasn’t what was funny. It was the famous story of what happened at the Tony Awards in 1972. You see Poppy was the UN ambassador and was hanging around backstage because he had invested in a couple of Broadway shows with Josh Logan and liked to meet the occasional show girl with a big bladder. So he is standing there and Robert Morse comes over and says “Ambassador I want to introduce to someone. Meet Carol Channing.” “Well Hello Dolly” said the ever so suave Poppy. They flirted back and forth while the show was going on and it started to get hot. Well old Carol took Poppy back to her dressing room and they started to go at. Now Poppy was really excited because they used to call her “Camel Channing” because her capacity for pee was legendary. So they get naked and Carol straddles his face and let loose. But there was one problem. She just couldn’t stop. She kept peeing and peeing and screaming and peeing and it was a total disaster.

They heard the noise backstage and finally one of the stage hands had to break down the door. When they burst in the door they saw the gusher and poor Poppy who was gasping for breath. They had to plug that hole so he could wiggle his way to safety because the force of it was keeping him pinned to the floor. It was like a natural disaster. They didn’t know what to do. Finally Red Buttons came up with the answer. “There is only one thing that can plug that hole. Get Uncle Miltie!”

You see that was the answer. Milton Berle was legendary for having the biggest shavtz in show business. They went and dragged him out of his seat and he unstrapped and plugged up that hole long enough for Poppy to wiggle his way to freedom. That’s the real reason why Ronnie Reagan gave him the Medal of Freedom. Poppy owed him big time.

W and I just laughed and laughed. “It’s a shame that Uncle Miltie is dead or Barry could send him down to Louisiana. That would work about as well as everything else he has tried so far.” “You are damn right W. You know what? Maybe they should give Tommie Lee a call. If he can touch the sides on that hose bag Pamela Anderson he might just fit the bill. I will give Michele a call and suggest it.”

Plug it up indeed.

Garage Mahal's Road Kill Korner


Hey Garage just sent me a new photo of him and his nephew when they went hunting up in Canada. They managed to bag a stupid moose but didn't get any squirrels.


The shame of it is that his nephew doesn't want to hunt with Uncle Garage anymore. You see he made him do all the work while Garage just tugged on a rope attached to the moose's cock.


I don't know, is that a Wisconsin thing?

Hells needs a new PA Announcer


Forcas: Will you be interviewing any new announcers my dread Lord? I know you like to take Memorial Day weekend because you love a great barbeque.
Lucifer: That’s OK. I am kind of bored. Plus I always have to work the holidays. Being the devil is like working retail.
Forcas: Well we just got three new possibilities that might be coming to us after processing. We have the humorist, epically bad father and kid toucher Art Linkletter. Then we have psycho villain actor and drug abuser Dennis Hopper. And of course we have the midget hottentot former child star Gary Coleman.
Lucifer: What chu talkin about Forcas? Gary is here. Get that midget motherfucker out here right now!
Forcas: Yes mi lord.
Gary Coleman: (tumbles through the trap door to fall in front of the throne of Lucifer) What…What’s Happening!
Lucifer: Jeeez Gary don’t steal Re Runs line. He’s in heaven anyway. The big guy loves the fat ones. It’s the skinny nasty bitches that he sends to me. And the midgets. Man he hates midgets.
Gary Coleman: But what the hell am I doing here in Hell!
Lucifer: You are meeting your Lord. Me. Satan. Bezelbub. Old Scratch. You know the Devil. Lucifer. Lu-Lu to my favorite Demons. But you can call me your Dread Lord.
Gary Coleman: But what did I ever do to deserve this. Everybody always screwed me over. My parents. My agents. My wifes and girlfriends. All they ever did is exploit me.
Lucifer: Boy are you one dumb bitch. Sure they screwed you over. But didn’t you ever hear the line ”you can’t cheat an honest man?” Well you were a major league scumbag. When that dumb twat Dana Plato offed herself the only thing you worried about is if it would affect it would have on you getting another gig. And all those women you got drunk and fucked because they thought you were cute little Arnold Drummond and not a three foot tall human hard on.
Gary Coleman: Damn man that ain’t right. You mean I am stuck here burning my chocolate ass through all eternity.
Lucifer: Yeah that’s about the size of it. Get it. The size of it. I crack myself up sometimes. Anyway don’t complain. I have been mixing up the troops lately and I need some new midget demons. You know like the big guys got all the cherubs and shit. I need some cute little demons and you might just fit the bill.
Gary Coleman: Hey why not, I need the gig. What does it entail?
Lucifer: Why looking mean and torturing people and generally being a no good bastard. Sort of like being Hillary Clinton. Think you can handle it?
Gary Coleman: No problem. I will just channel my agent.
Lucifer: Cool. Put your game face on. I am going to send you to torture Andrew Dice Clay’s dreams. I know he is scared of midgets. And black guys. So you are a twofer. I just love the fact that I invented affirmative action. Hee.

Hey I am just hiding out in the back of the store today.


I am just hanging out in the back of the store today minding my own business. I didn't give my employees off because they wanted to work and make some money. And we have a couple of customers who are very shy and they don't really like a man in the front of the store. So I am hiding out.

I am in the back of the store happily surfing the net and commenting and writing post in a very jolly mood. We are taking tomorrow off and it is the first day off I have had since Easter.

But I don't know if some people aren't spoiling for a fight. I hope it is all in good natured fun. It is from my side.

Happy Memorial Day weekend.

Just sayn.

Garage Mahals Road Kill Korner


Garage keeps the photos coming. He also sent me a long dissertation on how to field dress and clean a carcass. Now my idea of field stripping meat is to take it out of the cellophane wrapper I have to say that it is interesting but not the type of knowledge I am going to need here in Brooklyn.

I do have to say he is strangely obsessed with the deers rectum.

I would definitely do a rape kit on Bambi if this was CSI Madison. Just sayn'

A bad day to take a shower.


Man we had nothing but pyschos today in the store. I mean some days are like that in retail. I have to be here but the people who come out shopping are pretty fucked up. You see most people go away or are at a barbeque or something. We only had one or two normal people. The rest were people who hated themselves and the way they looked and there was nothing you could do with them.
Sometimes you just have to shrug your shoulders and say "We'll get em next time."

Gratuitous Bathtub Photo: Jason (the commenter) doesn't want to be left out


Everybody wants to get in on the act when commenters start emailing in photo's.

The Price of Fame


Crystal breaks up with her guy New York Post May 28, 2010
By MAXINE SHEN

Even with all the hoopla surrounding Simon Cowell's departure from "American Idol," the competition ended on a low note.


This week's "Idol" finale was the lowest-rated ending since the competition's first season.
Some 24.2 million viewers saw shy crooner Lee DeWyze get crowned this year's "Idol" -- down 18 percent from last year.


When Kelly Clarkson became the first "Idol" in the summer of 2002, 22.8 million viewers watched


And the show's producers weren't the only ones who ended the season on a low note.
Yesterday, runner-up Crystal Bowersox revealed that she and her boyfriend Big Tony -- who'd been cheering her on from the audience all season -- broke up last Tuesday morning -- right before her finale performance.


Big Tony went home," Bowersox told Ryan Seacrest during his morning radio show. "It was a mutual thing. We're both logical adults.


"He's a small-town guy -- that's fine. I'm a small-town girl, but I want this more than anything.
"I want this career, this lifestyle," she said. "and I didn't think he was up for it.
"And he didn't think he was up for it."


She went on to say that she was "a little sad he did it on performance day," but that she used the emotion during her performance of Patty Griffin's "Up to the Mountain."
Still, Bowersox said that she's "the happiest girl in the world right now."


In a related story, the winner of Idol this year, Lee DeWyze also lost his beard this morning in an unfortunate shaving accident.

Congratulations to Brett Michaels


Congratulations to Bret Michaels for winning the Celebrity Apprentice. The dude was unbelievable coming back from a brain aneurysm. He was scattered but obviously had a lot of talent. You really got to like him after watching interacting with the other celebs many of whom seemed like real douche bags.


Best of all he hit on every single woman he met. Didn't matter what they looked like or how they were he was on it.


A cool dude all the way around.

The wife was pissed. I walked over and took it from him and said "I know just where to put this." I took it and filed it in the circular file. He goes "Why did you throw that away?"
I said "Listen pal, I pay rent, taxes, utilities. payroll taxes and workers compensation. So I should advertise you assholes who are selling clothes across the street who don't pay any of those things. What are you a fuckin moron?"
Some people just need a fuckin beating.

Lawrence: (opens the door) Hello….holy crapola, how did you find me?
Amy Winehouse: Oh Patti Stanger gave me your address. You ran away so fast we didn’t get to talk. And Patti doesn’t get paid if we don’t go on a date. So she gave me your number.

Lawrence: "Hamana, hamana, hamana, uuuurrrrpppphhhhhh!"

Oscar Gamble's got my brand new key


I rode my bicycle past your window last night
I roller skated to your door at daylight
It almost seems like you're avoiding me
I'm okay alone, but you got something I need

Well, I got a brand new pair of roller skates
But I think it got stuck where I pee
I think that we should get together and try to fish them out you see
I been looking around awhile
But I think it got stuck where I pee
Oh! I got a brand new pair of roller skates
But Oscar Gamble has my brand new key

I ride my bike, I roller skate, don't drive no car
Don't go too fast, but I go pretty far
For somebody who don't drive
I been all around the world
Some people say, I done all right for a girl


Well, I got a brand new pair of roller skates
But I think it got stuck where I pee
I think that we should get together and try to fish it out you see
I been looking around awhile
Help me get something for me
Oh! I got a brand new pair of roller skates
But I think it got stuck where I pee

Jason (the commenter) said...
Make it musical!


Of course he has to conform to the stereotype. But I am all about keeping my readers happy so we will go musical.


But with the patented Trooper York spin.


I mean I have to include something I am interested in.


When I asked for Poll Suggestions?


El Pollo Real said...

How about" Former Trooper York commenter you miss the most?

We had to go to a wake on Monday and it was an all day affair. It was out in Jersey and of course our car broke down. So we had to take a car service to Staten Island to catch a ride with other family members who were going to the wake.

The wife was a little apprehensive because we were going to see some people who we kind of missed some of their events. You know weddings and graduations and confirmations and what not. With the store, we are just too busy. We can't get to the wedding so we put the invitation aside with the idea we are going to send a gift and a card. But we forget and then when we see it months later we go "Oh shit it is too late to send it now. It would be like an insult. Lets think about it." And we put it aside and it lays there for another six months until we come across it again.

Now I told her not to be ridiculous. You have to learn one thing in life. It is not all about you.

It was about the guy in the box.

Nobody was worried about us or about a missed card. People have their own concerns. Life goes on. You are the star of your own movie but just a bit player t0 everyone else. To you, well you are the Duke but to everyone else you are Hank Worden.

It is the same with blogging. Everybody is really busy. Some people read all the time and only very occasionally drop in a comment like Ruth Anne, Simon and reader-i-am. Others like blake and Darcy are obviously busy and don't have much time and catch up when they can. Some like Hoosier and rcocean and Dust Bunny Queen and John from the SW come by once a week or so. I know everyone is very busy.

I really, really appreciate the people like El Pollo, Windbag, Michael H, Ron,dpb,Peter Bella, ricpic and Jason who comment all the time. But I understand that people are busy. I try and drop by everybody's blog to drop a comment or two. I know that everybody like the feedback.

Plus I have found that I have lurkers, who read and don't comment. Which is very cool.

I just know it is not all about me. So I don't miss former commenter's. I like to think they will still drop by now and again. They might have gone to lurk mode. That's cool.

It's not all about me.

The dubious case of the disappearing Douchebag


My dear Holmes,

It is your most humble petitioner, Inspector Lestrade. I once again must endeavor to inquire if you have any new information in the case of the not so recent disappearance of Lord Douchebag. This curious case has dragged on and on and it seems to have escaped the notice of so many who claimed the deepest interest and concern but who have gone on as though nothing has happened.

As I had previously noted I had attended several of the salons of the noted conversationalist and dilettante Lady Chatterley where Lord Douchebag was a frequent and much valued guest. In fact it has been told to me that the Lady in question has often referred to him as wonderful. What is most striking is that his name has not passed their lips these many months and it is as if he never existed. They have seemed to turn their interests and efforts towards the collection of strange fungi which seem to have some strange hold on them such that they search them out before even breaking their fast in the morning.

It appears that the other feeble attempts to search for Lord Douchebag have come to naught. It is as if he was in fact a fictional character taken full blown from the imagination of someone who has tired of the ruse and gone on to other pursuits.

No replies have been made to the advertisement in the agony column of Wood Wind Weekly which has returned to its more normal pursuits of the examination in detail of the Lenten observances of constipated musicians. No further pleas have been sent in either the post or the other areas where one often found the Douchebags. It seems that they have hit a dead end as well.

I did notice that someone has made one last ditch attempt to locate the elusive douchebag. It seems that they have published a likeness of Lord Douchebag on several cartons that have been distributed with various products. I am forwarding one to you for your examination and comment. Perhaps this is the way we will finally contact the Douchebags. But somehow I doubt it.

Once I again I beg to inquire if you have you turn your hand to this most puzzling mystery? If so, perhaps I could drop by Baker Street to compare notes with you. If that is at all convenient please inform Dr. Watson who could pass on word the next time we meet at the club.

I hope all is well and that you brother was able to straighten out that unfortunate business with Wiggens. I am sure his allegations are unfounded and that nothing untoward has occurred when he was caring for your brother’s rare clumbers. Sometimes street urchins have vivid imaginations.

You obedient servant,
Inspector G. Lestrade

How far we have fallen



When I was a kid they were having the Gallo-Profaci war. The Gallos were the local gangsters and they were duking it out with the boss Joe Profaci for a bigger slice of the pie. They used a lot of incidents from the war in the original Godfather books and movies. For example they threw Joe Jelly's bullet proof vest with a fish in it in front of one of the joints on Columbia St where the Gallos hung out.

Eventually Joey Gallo got busted and went upstate and Larry died and the war petered out until Joey got out of the joint. Then he became a high society gangster and hung out in the city with actors and authors and Warhol and the whole dirty mix. He got tight with Jerry Orbach who played him in a movie called "The Gang That Couldn't Shoot Straight." This was from a book by that dick Jimmy Breslin making fun of the Gallos and the whole situation.

Now one of the big stories about these guys is that they had a pet lion in the basement of their social club in a Brownstone on President St. Somebody gave it to him and it was old and sick and what not but it was one of the legendary stories that shows up now and again in so many gangster movies. They played it out for comedy in the movie but it was kind of sad. But hey when you were a seven year old kid and walked by on the way to the pizza store and the lion lunged at you, well you shit your pants. You know what I mean.

Anyway those days are long gone. Joey got hit at Umberto in the 70's and the rest of those guys died in one way or another. There is only one guy left in the neighborhood who is in his eighties.

He is the guy they kind of model Feech Lamana in the Soprano's. He is a fixture in the neighborhood and all the old timers know who he is. The hipster dofus assholes don't have a clue. He did about twenty jobs or so we hear. A genuinely tough guy. In the '70's and 80's everybody walked softly around him because he had a bad temper and would shoot you in a minute if you looked at him the wrong way. Now he just sits at the cafes and has an espresso and enjoys the sun. He has a lot of money on the street and has a piece of a lot of stuff going on in Court St. He has a piece of this cafe/bakery joint where he likes to sit everyday. I always say hello when I pass by.

Anyway I was walking to the store and passed by the cafe like I always do. And they have the little hatchway on the front that leads directly to the basement. All the brownstones do. This place has their kitchen there. And right in the front, they put a stuffed lion. I quess to scare away the little yappy dogs that want to run down the steps to where they make the food.

How far we have fallen. From real lions to stuffed lions. It is just unfuckinbelievable!

Now you kids have fun tonight,


"Titus you dirty rat"

"Look I am sorry I left you at the table for so long. I had to pinch a loaf."

"Too Much Information Dude!"

I am running out of sizes


We are selling out of tops. We started a new line of skirts and we have blown out the tops that we put with them. It is hard to keep up.
