Laughter is carbonated holiness.


That is so funny and so sad at the same time. I sent a heads up to Juanita Jean in case she hasn't seen it.

I stole it off of Facebook so I imagine that Juanita Jean already got wind of it. The Green Acres motif almost made me roll out of my chair when I saw it.

However, seeing Perry wearing anything unflattering is worth it. Maybe he can get the Project Runway designers to design him an avant-garde orange jumpsuit for prison?

I have to admit that pics like this throw me and I have to look twice, really hard. The toughest is for me to see a man in a woman's dress and wig. It throws my pattern-recognition skills out of whack, usually because the features are too large for a woman's face. Then my mind identifies the person. (I'm a mess at costume parties! )

Went to graduate school in Houston. Many wonderful people in Texas. Too bad that the current government continually makes Texas the major cess pool in the Union, followed very closely by Florida, Arizona, Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee, Mississippi, etc. Feel free to include your choice for Cess Pool of America.
