For some reason my car has been a magnet for uninitiated violence. Last week my roommate hit it when it was parked in the driveway. Saturday night I was at a friend’s house and he backed his Tahoe into it. Again, parked in a driveway. Prior to my getting it the Lord hit it with a slew of hail. I’m not sure what my car did in a former life but it can’t have been good.

Moving on.

Part of my job with the radio station is going to OK Corral, a Mexican dance club. I spend my time in the DJ booth with the talent as she does live on air cut ins for the live broadcast. For three hours I stand in the DJ booth listening to music I don’t understand because I don’t speak Spanish. I can’t decide if it’s a bunch of short songs that sound the same or one really long song. Either way it’s a good thing I can tolerate music with horns and accordions. It’s also the longest amount of time I listen to that music without being served some sort of delicious Mexican meal. However, and I cannot truly express this enough, I have never seen more attractive women in one place in my life. It’s like the women from Spanish television show up to hang out and by that I mean taunt me with their beauty. Damned Spanish speaking hot ladies!

The actor who played Sam the Butcher on The Brady Bunch died this past weekend. I grew up with The Brady Bunch so it kind of made me sad. I’m reminded of the Beastie Boys line “Like Sam the Butcher bringin’ Alice the meat.” RIP Sam.

Suzanne Pleshette also died this past weekend. She was truly one of the funnier actresses to have ever been on television. Sorry Debra Messing.

That’s all I’ve got for now.

Also, this is the only place on the entire internet where a picture of Sam the Butcher appears on the same page as a picture with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. I’m glad I could accomplish that.

Barack the vote.
