Happy Memorial Day to those who have the most soul...our Soldiers!!

It's not about picnics and/or drunken bacchanals, or shopping til you drop at your local Mall in the Hood...

...it's all about the men and women who have served or serve our country.  I dedicate to you the following:

Ensembles according to Babs...

Let the weekend begin

Happy Cinco de Mayo

This is the cube of Babs.  I have been relegated to the "spank tank" due to social behavior. 

Note my devotion to the Virgin of Guadalupe.*  A portrait of Sr. Lucille by Velasquez, Mother Superior of Sr. Lucille's Academy for Incorrigible Teens (SLIT for Sluts), hangs to the right.  Post mortem, that old crone, still has her lazy eye on me.

Boys and girls-- yee are about to hear the catechism according to Babs-- Jesus wants you to have a good time while you're here under this veil of tears.

Jesus would NOT approve of this sign posted at my local Public Library.  Jesus hearts both skateboarding and horseplay.

What I want to know is this-- is there a vast right wing Lutheran conspiracy afoot to topple the one true church?  Have they installed a puppet Nazi quisling at the helm?  It's time a competent American bitch steps forward and cleans up the mess in Vatican City.  Hillary Clinton would be perfect for the job, but unfortunately she's a Methodist (at least she's not a Lutheran).  Caroline Kennedy?... well, she's as dumb as a box of rocks.

What do Jesus and Patti Smith, poetess extraordinaire, have in common?

"If you see things around you--unjust and unclean, that need change-- don't just sit on your ass, take it to the streets...use your voice..." 

--Patti Smith, Detroit Rock Royalty.

*This message has been approved by the Virgin of Guadalupe.

**Conflict of interest disclosure:  After years of double secret probation, mother church has excommunicated Babs twice.  If they could, they'd have burned  me at the stake (twice).  Those who fear for their immortal souls may want to tread carefully.      

Inheritance check

Dirk Bogart Sr (b. 1919? he constantly lied about this date - d. 2002 disinterred in 2004)

My late great father Dirk Bogart, Sr., (RIP), and his cohort in crime, me late great mum Vivien Leigh Bogart, lived ridiculously large.  They never did a sensible thing in their lives.  They lived the "upside down" lifestyle to the max.  Instead of buying a nice suburban house (l), they bought the Versaille double wide, during an economic down turn, at a loss (r).

They just didn't have 2 or 3 kids, they had 7. 

Not only did they live large--Dirk and Viv died large.  Their funerals were gothic undertakings of epic (bordering on tacky)  proportions.  After settling their debts (ginormous) the estates have closed, and we 7 Bogarts have each received our share of the proceeds: $67.93.

I polled the Bogarts and asked what they were going to do with their respective inheritances:

Babs.........Seminole Smoke Shop

Mame.......Wine in a box

Jane.........Cigarettes

Peg...........Save the Whales

Gin...........Dog Food

Dirk, Jr.....Beer

Chip.........Diapers
