I am keeping the circus in town just a liiitle longer. Sorry to those anti-circus. I DID make some changes in it over the days; you might recheck it for those
Someone brought some Lysol to work today. God, do I HATE HATE HATE Lysol. That smell reminds me of a dumpster-dive I went on back in high school. My friend worked at Peoples Drug (hed get me hired there in the summer of 89) and he said, They threw out all this christmas stuff; we gotta go get it! So we went to Peoples dumpster at like 1 a.m. and dug around for thrown-out Christmas toys/decorations. It smelled fucking hideous. It wasnt what you might thinkthis was a drug store, so there was no food garbage of note, or rotting stuff. It was just all this synthetic, chemical, horrible fuming toxicity. We barely managed to salvage anything. I had a 10-inch stuffed Santa, that was about it. So I got home super-late, with this freaky odor on me, and I couldnt really shower cuz it would wake my parents, so I went to the bathroom and sprayed Lysol on my arms and realizedAARGGGGH, IT SMELLS EXACTLY like the dumpster funk! ! !
--------------------------------------------------
...... my (not so) New Dream Band! ! !
It was one of those deals where I dreaded how complex it would be to plot outthen all of the sudden at work, while I was on the desk, I just did 75% of it in 3 minutes on a scrap of paper. So without more delay here is my Dream Band

This is funny. Why? I just emailed a friend explaining to her that gators are sedentary, lazy, boring creatures depending on the season. If it's the wet season, they're all, "Whatever, I'll let the fish jump into my mouth." And they just sit there, bored. I remember field trips to the Everglades. We'd sit down for lunch, and the gators couldn't care less about a fourth grader's peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Of course, it was strictly against the rules to feed the wildlife. I think we were more scared of the giant crows. They swooped down and stole my strawberry Koala snacks. I don't know if those were distributed in the States once, or if my dad brought them back from one of his trips to Japan, but I really hated those crows.

What about go-gp girls in a cage?
