Get Spunky

Vincent Van Gogh's complete letters were published. "Eat well,"
Van Gogh wrote to a fellow painter. "Don't fuck too hard;
if you don't fuck too hard, your painting will be all the
spunkier for it."

Obviously Fixed

Please follow this link to vote for "Kevin Swanson's Peeperina." Yes, it all belongs in quotes. If he wins, there will be a scandal reminiscent of Milli Vanilli.

If you want to see my entry, you will have to click on "Gallery." My work did not make it to the finals.

Congratulations to Kristal Binversie, 12, on gathering those props.

While Joe Biden was President

Turns out I can't always be thinking things like, "Did Clinton brush off Carter in the hallway? Does Aretha think she is at the Kentucky Derby?  Man, this show could use some Kathy Griffin." 

My timbers are thoroughly shivered with today's festivities. 

 I decided to cut up an onion for cover in case someone stopped by and caught me all
misty eyed. Sorry YoYo Ma, but that seemed like a good time to take a break. 
I also turned on the kettle for tea. 

I will never forget the moment BO became president, my tears, and burning question: what's that smell?

The ceiling will need repainting too.

Succumbing to the Barack Swoon yet still having the presence of mind to lift my head up from the gurney and snap this one off: priceless.

And talk about having hope. After stressing that we had no cash to buy Obama shirts on the way in, supporters pointed out they would still be available on the way out. This  lead to the rumor that Oprah was inside doling out cash.

Barack had me at hello.

And nothing but the Packers

Jim loved the Green Bay Packers and was really looking forward to them winning the Jan. 20th, NFC Championship game and moving on to the Super Bowl on Feb. 3, 2008.

In Memoriam

54 celebs are featured in "Fallen Stars" on MSN. Kitty Carlisle had a good run, hey? They went from Anna Nicole to Kanye's mom, so I'm not clear on the pecking order. Not chronological by date of death or age. Not alphabetical. Not grouped together by cause of death. But it's quite clear the "writers" were completely uninspired since all voices were described as "creamy" and lesser know individual's work is described as "seminal."

Bloggers Going 'On Strike' to Support Writers...

Yeah, posting might become even more sporadic here at Sparticle while I work on my Office script. Watch for me in the credits of the "Performance Review" episode.

Excerpt:

Pam (coyly smirking) "Jim, did you see this ad for the Beet of the Month Club?"

That's all you're getting for free!

Chris George Carlos

Might have a vested interest in keeping us thirsty.

Could this conspicuous consumer be that Chris Carlos? Chris Carlos: board member of Republic National Distributing Company - middle men for Fiji Water, Republic of Tea, Heineken, Topicana et. al.

Chris George Carlos personally would need 1,478,100 half liter bottles of Fiji water delivered (fijiwater.net) at a cost of $2,155,562.50 per month

Check out the waybackmachine to find his name listed as a board member on RND's site (since removed).

At Last!

A candidate we can all get behind.

Me, you had me at me!

This man's death, posted prominenetly on CNN's front page, has Sparticle wondering, "how does this affect me?"

At first I imagine all the fresh hits generated by the Marlo Thomas picture hosted here. Then remember that she is married to Phil Donohue. Clearly, there is a thing or two I don't know about Merv. So already this morning I learned what even weeks of abusing the "random article" feature on Wikipedia had not uncovered : he sang I've got a Lovely Bunch of Coconuts.
