Re: Some earthy advice from my gran

Good grief, you two. . . So much to point at and ridicule here.

1. I love the DIY and clean-em-up shows, too. Doesn't seem to help me with my own issues, but there's something therapeutic in seeing someone else's home in so much worse shape than mine. I feel gypped for having missed the hookah kid. You know, I can recall seeing hookahs sold in actual furniture stores as exotic knick knack-type accessories (probably right beside the lava lamps--of which I still have several). I'm sure there's a precedent these people could use to explain their possession of it (as long as it doesn't have that telltale sludge around the water line. . .) Hell, if they could bust you for simple paraphernalia, I know people they'd have to bust for vast assortments of odd, household items. In college, I knew guys who could make a bong out of anything from a carrot to a soda can and 30 feet of straws from the cafeteria! (LMAO--I think one of them is now a doctor on my account. . .)

2. The innocent Iowan act doesn't fly. I know they raised the drinking age since I lived there, but I betcha anything a 9th grade girl can still walk into any bar in a college town and be served hard liquor. IA was also always a hub for headbangers and I don't suppose weed's any harder to get than it was back in the day. Did you happen to grow up in a convent, you poor, sheltered thing?

3. Hookah bars are springing up all over here, too. Not sure why kids are still so dumb they think smoking is cool. Of course, a lot of them are also spending big bucks at the oxygen bar--probably thinking they cancel each other out.

4. I thought I was pretty sharp on my Cheech & Chong, but I can't for the life of me figure out what they have to do with my original scatalogical reference. Could this be early dementia? Perhaps my wild youth has caught up to me. . .

5. Crap. All these digressions made me forget the rest of what I was going to snicker at. I suppose I should just give up, pour myself a big, ol' White Russian for nostalgia's sake and see if I can't find Cash in the Attic or Changing Rooms at this time of day.

For boring, good girls, you certainly are a bad influence. <G>
