Were fairly well financially strapped, and as any of you whove made a recent sojourn to Sin City knows, the place sucks cash from your wallet like so many cash-from-wallet-sucking-vacuums. This isnt going to be a trip where were shuttled around the city in limos and resting our weary heads on 400 thread count linen pillow cases in the Hugh Hefner suites at The Palms.
No- we decided that this time we were going to stay as far off the strip as possible and get around town, shy of a gold plated Hummer, as retardedly as we can.

Welcome one and all to witness Swobos 2008 Hooters and scooters tour.
Do you hear that on the wind?
That is the oncoming storm of epically earthshaking sexiness that this damn show has been lacking for the better part of a decade.

Ill post details as they develop.

One thing you really would maybe like to know is that there really are alot of birds, as proven by young Jimmy Flatrings science class report.

Would y'all like to know about an upcoming alleycat style bicycle race?

More info is right here

The kids are going absolutely bananas for these bicycle races.

And why shouldnt they? Playing in the streets is one of the bright spots in anyones day. Except for Chiggens, but he was on his way to work, so maybe he wasnt playing.
Anyway, he had a run in with a fella recently, and attempted to keep a level head.

He writes;

"Argh, progress towards becoming a better citizen is difficult, and uneven.

(Please to read the thoughts).

I wanna be good. Really I do. It's harder when the other person's a porky republican lobbyist-lookin' asshole in a big-ass SUV without a spot of mud on it. There's so much contemptuous iconography involved, it's like being threatened by a comic book villain made of everything I think is wrong with the world.

I guess that's the next level of attainment.

Cheers,
chiggins"

Well, you didnt throttle him, or break any of his windows, or even fling your poo. Id say youre well on your way to that next level of attainment.

And while were on the topic of bettering ones own soul, check out this email that The Cat sent to us. It might take a few clicks on the link to get it to work, but its worth the effort;

"Stevil,

An audio example of why it pays to be polite road users, whether sporting the latest in fixed gear fashion or driving a gun rack laden pickup.

'Witness to an Accident'.

Lesson's learned:

-Accept responsibility for your actions with humility;
-Don't piss off the old ladies, as they fight dirty;
-If granny whips out a bible, run, run for your very life or surely you will die!

El Gato"

While its been scientifically proven that I could kick the crap out of 31 five year olds, I would never, and I mean NEVER take on a gang of old ladies.

As I mentioned on Monday, there was a Dfl related function Wednesday evening.
I was toiling away at the J.O.B., but have found photographic evidence that I once again missed out on the spoils by way of Michael.

More of the shindig is right here, though in my humble opinion, the only image from any of the races, past, present or future thats of any importance is this one of Dan, and Dan Junior;

Today is 685s birthday.

Happy birthday, buddy.

Our friend Holly Crap just got back from her sweet new hand job;

And Complayna got back from whatever her job is;

They both live truly blessed existences.

I told you all that Jason Jagel has an opening and book release at SF Electric Works Tonight, right? If you find yourself with a hankering for some world class art, or to punch me in the stomach, or both, then you should be there.

Marian sent in the following clip. Generally, I think Pamela Anderson is a vapid sack of bleached meat, but after seeing this, has come up a notch.

We totally speak the same language.

Alright, thats enough of this mumbo jumbo. I gotta go get my hairs cut, and my nails done.
It aint easy looking this good.

Ohhhhh yeah, 'Looking good' reminded me.. I would like to also finally welcome Brian into the Swobo fold.
Hes a young go-getter with the chops to take us straight into the 21st century.

Here, while at a recent conference in the Netherlands, he and El Corpo discuss the virtues of Blue Tooth technology and how we might apply that to our own situation.
Welcome aboard Brian. Its good to have you working with us.

Have a great weekend everybody. We sure as hell will.
