droopy eye.


I've decided to write an episode for the Seinfeld show:

+------...

George in the shower [disgusting, hunh?] is clearly almost done, yet he
pauses to glance strangely at the back of his shampoo bottle.  He, then
proceeds to wash his hair again.

Later, at Jerry's place -

George:  You know what I did for the first time ever in the shower this
         morning?
Jerry:   I thought that since you were practically married, you would
         automatically be the "master of your domain".
George:  No, not that.  I repeated!
Jerry:   If that's not what we're talking about, then you're losing me.
George:  Lather, rinse, repeat; Lather!  Rinse!  REPEAT!!  For over 30
         years I have never repeated.
Jerry:   Ok, but for the last 10 years, have you really had enough to
         repeat with.  Isn't it too late to start now?

[ jokes about "does anyone repeat?", "my hairdresser never repeats" ]
[ etc., etc. ]

...------+

Now you know why I write my own 'zine and not tv scripts.

P.S.  New addition to the home page.  I wrote a program that lets you 
cycle through Mondays and find the WU edition for that Monday.  This
proves I'm not just a geek with an e-mail program, I can program!

Review: Arch Deluxe

Today I am a man. All my life I have eaten burgers made for children. 
Today I partook of the Arch Deluxe, McDonald's new burger aimed at 
pumping up their adult demographic, and from the looks of my local 
McDonalds on opening day, plenty of other folks were following the 
hype as well. the restaurant reminded me at once of "Willy Wonka and 
the Chocolate Factory" and "Soylent Green."

The place was packed, people were lined up five- and six-deep, every 
seat was filled, and on just about every tray, there was a bright 
cardboard and plastic box holding the new Arch Deluxe. I would 
imagine Mickey D's across the country had to hire temps just to keep 
up with demand. 

Sure, there were a few teenagers hanging around the corner trying to 
score some "Arch," and the bouncer didn't seem to be carding when we 
got there, but the crowd seemed pretty grown up and reserved as they 
enjoyed their burgers.

This amazing new burger, if you haven't had one, is a quarter pound 
patty, cheese, ketchup, dijon mustard, real leaf lettuce, tomato, 
and optional bacon (30 cents) on a kaiser-like roll. It is one tasty 
burger. I'd put it up there with  any of Wendy's offerings, maybe a 
little higher since I dislike the pickles and the usual mass of 
mayonnaise and ketchup Wendy usually adds. But is it an innovation 
in the fast-burger industry? Not really, but it is different from 
anything else McDonald's offers.

I tried it on opening day, but I'll give it a "Monday Lunch" 
recommendation.  My only request for McDonald's is that they make an 
Arch Deluxe Happy meal.

   A woman approaches a priest and tells him, "Father, I have a problem.
I have these two talking female parrots, but they only know how to say 
one thing."
     
  "What do they say?", the priest asked.
     
  "They only know how to say `Hi, we are prostitutes.  Do you want to 
have some FUN?'"
     
  "That's terrible!", the priest exclaimed,  "But I have a solution to 
your problem.  Bring your two talking female parrots over to my house 
and I will put them with my two male talking parrots who I have taught 
to pray and read the Bible, then my parrots will teach your parrots to 
stop saying that terrible phrase and your female parrots will learn to 
pray and worship."
     
  "Thank you." said the lady.
     
  So the next day, the lady brings her female parrots to the priest's 
house. 
     
The priest's two male parrots are holding rosary beads and praying in 
their cage.
     
  The lady puts her female talking parrots in with the male talking 
parrots and the female parrots say, "Hi, we are prostitutes!  Do you 
want to have some FUN?"
     
  One male parrot looks over to the other male parrot and says, "PUT 
THE BIBLES AWAY!  OUR PRAYERS HAVE BEEN ANSWERED!!!!!"

Review: The Craft

Alright - let's get straight to the point. Yes - the four witches are 
real hotties! And no - they don't show any skin (drats). Sorry guys! 
But overall, it's still a pretty good flick. The movie revolves around 
three girls who fall into the outsider group at school. They have formed 
their own coven of witches but they lack one more to make the group 
complete. Enter Sarah (and what a babe!!). She finally joins with the 
group and the witching begins. And of course as most all things go, it 
gets out of hand.

The acting is pretty good as are the effects and the story/plot. 
Overall - a darn fine film. Matinee with a date. And considering some 
of the scenes involving lots of nightcrawlers, dinner is totally 
optional.

APARTMENT FOR RENT 

a prosperous business man propositioned a beautiful girl and she agreed  
to spend the night with him for $500.  when he was ready to leave in the  
morning, he told her that he didn't have any money with him but that he  
would have his secretary write a check for it and make it out as "rent  
for an apartment." on the way to the office, he decided that the whole  
thinkg wasn't worth the price he had agreed to pay.  so he advised his  
secretary to send the check for $250 and include the following note: 

dear madam: enclosed is my check in the amount of $250 for rent of your  
apartment. i am not sending the amount i agreed upon, because when i  
rented the apartment, i was under the impression: 

1.  that it had never been occupied.  
2.  that there was plenty of heat. 
3.  that it was small. 

last night, i found that it had been occupied, there wasnpt any heat and  
it was entirely too large. upon the receipt of the note,  the girl  
immediately returned the check with the following note: 

dear sir: i am returning your check for $250.  i can not understand how  
you could expect such a beautiful apartment to remain unoccupied.  as  
for the heat, there was plenty of it, if you knew how to turn it on.  as  
for the size, it isn't my fault if you didn't have sufficient furniture  
to fill it.

just wanted to give you a report from college-land, where we are in the
throes of final mania. consequently, we have been making a lot of visits 
to the altar of junk food, the dorm vending machine. today we encountered 
a new and interesting version of the ever-popular Chee-tos, called 
Chee-tos Cheesy Checkers. Chester Cheetah and Co. have taken a severe 
turn for the worse with this lame-ass variation of the waffle fry. The 
package (which is an entirely other subject) boasts of 33% more cheese, 
but we didn't notice. The puff-to-cheese ratio has been altered in an 
unsatisfactory manner (shot to hell, some would say). for those who 
preferred chee-tos for their crunch, you'll think that you are in a bad 
cheez puff nightmare with these pitiful "cheese flavored snacks." Frito 
Lay made a mistake trying to improve on the timeless Chee-tos, but we 
can forgive them this little foible. after all, it ain't easy bein' 
cheesy.

[ We're gonna have to keep a closer eye out for those GenX christians; ]
[ They seem to be almost the same as all the freaks!                   ]
     
 From a "Gen-X" religious discussion list:
     
 In her story on the "Christian Woodstock" [sic] part of the rally 
 (which took place Monday) Lynn Neary observed a number of Christian 
 bands performing in distinctly "secular" ways, including inviting the 
 crowd to form a mosh pit.  She observed, "...the kids began running.  
 They leapt over stone walls that line the path leading up to the 
 Capitol, and rushed toward the huge speakers set up on the Senate side 
 of the building.  They jumped up and down in a tangle [?].  Two young 
 women rode on the shoulders of some boys until an older man with gray 
 hair told them to get down, and they did."
     
 Neary then interviewed a young woman, who said it was "almost" like 
 being at a regular rock concernt.  "The only problem is there's a big 
 space - the mosh pit should have a tighter space to jump, and really 
 have good mosh pits....  Some people might think it's surprising to 
 see moshing at, like, a Christian event.  No way.  You just jump in 
 for the Lord.  We're not nuns.  But if you're- you just mosh, it's 
 really just for fun, that's all it is."

"Response to a wildfire on the south of France's Cote d'Azur 
was billed as a marvel of modern fire-fighting technology.  Two 
specially-built flying boats zoomed in, skimmed the waters of 
the Mediterranean, scooping vast amounts of water into their 
belly tanks, and then dropped the water on the hillside fire.
     
All was jolly and the wine flowed freely until a body was found 
in the ashes.  "The coroner found that the gentleman had 
apparently fallen from a great height, suffering serious 
injuries before being burned to death.  The report further noted 
that the victim was wearing a bathing suit, snorkel, and swim 
fins."
