I'm not sure what to say about this, but Willie & Snoop performed together in Amsterdam.

If Adele & I ever get married I'm registering here.

SHOKING STORIES FROM THE UPCOMING SIEGFRIED & ROY UNAUTHORIZED BIO:

* Siegfried and Roy enjoyed foursomes with
Liberace and his boy-toy Scott Thorson.

* Siegfried was so scared of the animals
he'd never even hold their leashes.

* Their tricks are done with body doubles
and concealed panels.

* Roy died for a while during surgery
after being bitten by Montecore the tiger.

* Shirley MacLaine is one of many of
their friends who believes Roy did
die and that Siegfried parades around a
hired lookalike.

* the animals had to be zapped with electric
prods to perform.

I am such an idiot for never seeing Prince in concert. The video is from the 1985 American Music Awards. I don't know about y'all, but I think it's fucking amazing.

***UPDATE - Prince ordered me to take down the video or change the audio. I knew that The Purple One didn't allow people to put any videos with any of his music online without permission (which he never grants) and would come after me. So I switched the audio. If y'all want the clip let me know & I'll upload it somewhere you can download it.

Politics is a dirty, dirty business

Poor killbots. Trapped in a world they never made!

Hey all. Sorry about being silent over the last week or so. Been a little stressed about the not-having-a-job thing. Thanks to everyone for the birthday wishes. Thanks to Adale I was able to celebrate my birthday in a haze of gluttony. She made me french toast for breakfast, made me a pizza for lunch, and then I nearly ate myself into a coma via a huge rack of ribs. Oh, I almost forgot that we got cake & ice cream afterwards.

Because I've felt overwhelmed by the job application process I can't really remember any interesting things that have happened in the last week or so, but maybe they'll come to me later (and by that I mean Adale will remind me).

I'll have some pictures up later today of the "cash bash" fundraiser we went to with Adale's mom, held at a firehall out where her parents live.

Cat playing the Theramin

I'm super excited - we're going to see Dale Watson tonight!! I also applied for two more jobs this week - one managing archaeological collections for the State of TX and the other as a fundraiser for UT.

Adale found out yesterday that she has an on campus interview at Temple in Philly!!!

Other than Mr. Peaches having trouble barfing up a hairball (he's been trying to hack it up for 4 or 5 days now) things are going fairly smoothly.

JOE'S HERO?

To deal with obnoxious students who text message during his class, Syracuse University prof Laurence Thomas has a strict policy: If he catches a student doing it, he will end the class immediately and walk out. He’s been making good on his playbook, staging brazen walk outs on his own course after catching students SMSing.

To Thomas, it’s a matter of respect; students need to show some.

So when he caught a student in the front row of a large lecture hall sending a “where r u?” last week, he up and left, and then sent students, the chancellor, and his dean an email about the incident, where he noted the offending student is Cuban and that last year, two Latino students started a game of tic-tac-toe during his class.

USA #1!!!!!!!!!

This strapping young man is Ms. Tammy Thomas, Olympic cyclist and recently convicted steroid user. When a drug tester for the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency showed up to get a urine sample from her, he said that she appeared to have shaving cream around her ear. Why would she have shaving cream around her ear? Apparently she developed a number of tell-tale symptoms of big-time steroid use, such as:

• A deep voice
• Baldness
• A full beard
• Chest hair

Now that's the Olympic Spirit!!

DATELINE: My Bachelor Pad!

Adale is out of town for a few days at a conference and I'm living the bachelor life. That means I am getting all dolled up for a night out on the town. Look out ladies, here I come!

BLOG IMPROVEMENTS

I've added a new feature to On the Couch n'at that should greatly enhance your enjoyment of the website. If you look underneath my profile you'll see the words UFO and bigfoot, and then several news stories. This is the new "Action News Center" part of the blog and will provide my dear readers with up-to-the-minute updates on the latest ufology and bigfoot news. Clicking on the links will open up new windows, and by clicking on "bigfoot" you switch to the bigfoot stories. I am taking suggestions for additional topics to be included in the "Action News Center".

Just think, the next time you're reading On the Couch n'at you won't worry about missing breaking ufology or bigfoot news stories because they'll be right there at your fingertips.

I'll let you try the search yourself, but I would like to say that my E*Business strategies are beginning to blossom. Like the big boys always say, it's all about content, baby.

DATELINE: My Couch

To be honest the transition from high-powered executive to unemployed, pajama-clad lounge-a-bout has not been easy. Adale hasn't once set up a breakfast buffet. I miss the executive lounge at the airport and must set up a time to go hang out there. One day you get to board the flight before everyone else and the next you have a box full of cat shit to empty out.

Don't get me wrong, there are perks to being a man of leisure. I have a slew of Italian Zombie and Cannibal movies on my Netflix queue that I'm finally getting the chance to watch. Mr. Peaches & I are spending a lot of quality time together. And of course it just feels right to be lounging around the apartment in my pj's with Adale.

I do have fun, like watching this video where a guy raps about his cat. He's an inspiration. I feel like I should use this opportunity to take up a hobby but I haven't decided yet. Dale Watson is coming next Wednesday which will be totally awesome (hey Kristen, he's in Baltimore Monday 4/7 at Dangerously Delicious Pies!!).

I hope everybody had a good April Fool's Day. I was trying to think about it and I don't think I've ever pulled off a good prank for April Fool's. When I was in high school my brother, who was in middle school, put Vasoline on all the toilet seats at our house & I sat on one. Any of you ever pull off a good prank?

I'm thinking about changing the focus of On the Couch n'at to pictures like these.
