There was Poul Nyrup Rasmussen (pronounced [⁽ˈ⁾pʰʌʊ̯l ny(ː)ɔb̥ ˈʁɑsmusn̩] Oh come on, that’s easy!) Then there was Anders Fogh Rasmussen. And here comes…………Løkke Rasmussen! And none of these guys are related!
You Danes like you some Rasmussen’s.
“I’m the third Rasmussen in a row to hold this office. There was a difference between one and two. And you will be able to see a difference between two and three,” said Løkke.

The difference? Number two makes me want to turn gay, and number three makes me wonder if I left that Excel spreadsheet on my desktop or in my applications folder.

Finally! A place I can pick up a copy of Shrek II and Hot Chics on Matchsticks. That’s one-stop shopping, and it’s family night at Love Video & Boutique, open conveniently from 7am to 3am, with plenty-O “family” parking round back!
Now, there are two sides to every story, and this one is no different, literally. This happy little video stop is divided up between the “family” side, and the “mature” side, or for all my peeps, the northside and southside.
The family side is oddly quiet. mmmm….
The mature side is jumpin’!
So I’m getting the itch to go inside, but damn, I realize that I’ve got the kids in tow. Well hell, what to do? I could just leave em’ in the car? Come on, it’s just a porn shop, and it’s only 95 degrees outside. They’ll be ok.
But then, as if from god, it appears……..
Whew! Glad that sign was there.
But then I begin to think about the sign. No loitering at the porn store…No loitering at the porn store…. mmmm. Curiouser and curiouser cried Alice. Then she slipped on a jizz rag and died instantly.
-Much thanks to the wife for the term “pornocopia.” You’re all about the details.
-Also thanks to Lewis Carroll for the obvious.

My boys and I took a trip to the Texas State Capitol today. Good times!
There she is (waaay up top), Lady Liberty perched atop loads o’ limestone. My son claims this is probably the most important building in the world!
AHHHH! It’s him. In the immortal words of Naked Eyes, “There is always something there to remind me.”
Some guy……literally. Apparently the folks at the capitol have no clue as to the identity of this fellow, as evidenced by the plaque under his painting—
a clear indicator that this guy was a serious underachiever. “Render a decision, are you shitting me? I didn’t get where I am to save the world. I came for the interns!”
The unfortunate aftermath of Jabba the Hut’s brief stint as governor of Texas. My son stands crying tears of joy on the site where one fortunate child was rescued by Lando Calrissian and transported back to Cloud City to be released from her carbonite prison. Unfortunately, it is rumored she recently fell through the trash shoot while reenacting Luke’s heroic escape and is now working at a Krispy Kreme in the Degoba System.

According to the UPI (that’s United Press International by the way), thousands of Dutch folks are expecting the world to end in 2012. For all of you that had your geography class wiped out by budget cuts in the 80’s, Dutch people live in the Netherlands, not Denmark. Denmark has Legoland, the Netherlands has legalized prostitution and a lot of pot and heroin. That should help you remember.
Anyway, said Dutch people are stocking up on supplies for the impending doom that will certainly befall them, because as you all know, this prediction has never been made before.
What I want to know is why anyone needs to stock up on supplies if it’s the end of the world? “That Hans is such a pack rat, it’s like he’s waiting for the end of the world.”
Doesn’t the end of civilization sort of negate having that extra can of tomato soup around?
