Is the real Riviera owned by mobsters, bootleggers' descendants who've branched-out into cocaine, meth, crack, heroin and fine-art forgeries, and a buncha tightwad old fucks who look at anyone NOT of their cult as if they are THE PLAGUE if they venture into the WRONG STRIP MALL in North Beach?!?!??!!?<br /><br />It's motherfucking Miami BEACH, ***NOT*** THE MEDITERRANEAN!!!!!! And there's about as much "Class" there ("class" being a word used by people who have no idea what it is to HAVE class or behave as if they understood the concept!!!) as on BOURBON STREET, or the newest Carpetbagger's Bourbon Street, aka ST.

Meanwhile, I offer more churl: why is it that at least 90% of the other blogs that blogroll you have not updated your link? Or perhaps I should add a suggestion: maybe you should add a clickable link to the old broke page. I mention this because I am house-sitting and cannot access the wifi (everybody says, 'Ooh, we're wireless, just hop on!' Except their wifi person has already entered the passwords and encryption crap for them, and made it all tidily secure, which locks me out, but luckily I have permission to use the home computer) and do not have access to my bookmarks.<br /><br />Actually, I don't feel that churlish in making this observation. I offer it not as an accusation or lament, or even as a mild WTF, but more as an idle "Hmm, what's up with that".<br /><br />LarkspurAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1776456473941522431.post-46833909099082179752011-06-11T19:02:55.375-07:002011-06-11T19:02:55.375-07:00And look at how I came out:bitter, vengeful, depre...<i>And look at how I came out:bitter, vengeful, depressed, antagonistic and churlish</i><br /><br />And that's just how we like our Larkspurs around here.Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02798340582589737829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1776456473941522431.post-37089441856276131702011-06-11T15:37:10.862-07:002011-06-11T15:37:10.862-07:00D.Sidhe, wow.

Spot-on, as usual.<br /><br />God, I hate MC-G's stupid anecdotes <br /><br /><i>"...She had popped into the bookstore to pick up a welcome-home gift for her 13-year-old, who had been away. Hundreds of lurid and dramatic covers stood on the racks before her, and there was, she felt, "nothing, not a thing, that I could imagine giving my daughter. It was all vampires and suicide and self-mutilation, this dark, dark stuff." She left the store empty-handed...."</i><br /><br />Jeebus. Unbelievable. (And anyway, this woman is getting her child a welcome-home gift after being away? Hey, when I was a kid we didn't go away. Maybe to summer camp, but this is still early June. Oh! Maybe the kid was in rehab. Or off at boarding school, which has an even richer fictional history - for example, that bright, sunny little old-fashioned novel "The Little Princess". Or even "Jane Eyre". Or most of Dickens.)<br /><br />It's like she willfully refuses to think outside her fantasy of a perfect family, where it's her job to keep the home fires burning and the sounds of the apocalypse muffled, no matter what. Except she always has to tip her hand so everyone can see how excellent she is.<br /><br />I'm being disorganized, I know. But I am OLD, and I grew up with "The Diary of Anne Frank", and the Cuban missile crisis, and the black-and-yellow fallout shelter placards, and polio and those weird menstrual pad harness devices (girls, once upon a time there were no adhesive panty-liners) and fucking <b>junior high school</b>. I wished to rain down ungodly mayhem on the mean kids, on the drunk guy next door, on anyone who made me feel small and weak.<br /><br />And what I had was a well-meaning grandma who subscribed to a children's book series for me, called "The Happy Hollisters", about some Gurdon-Cox prototypes (although the Hollister family kept their offspring to the more modest number of three children - the Dick-Jane-Sally model) who did the same lame-ass "mystery" solving in every single book, over and over. (I couldn't ask to be un-gifted; that would have been rude and we weren't allowed to be rude. Rudeness leads to mayhem and apocalypsi.)<br /><br />And look at how I came out: bitter, vengeful, depressed, antagonistic and churlish. Bite me, Meghan.<br /><br />LarkspurAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1776456473941522431.post-31583404550101170762011-06-09T16:27:10.707-07:002011-06-09T16:27:10.707-07:00"if ...the lost white tribe from Whiteyville ..."if ...the lost white tribe from Whiteyville (that listens to Pat Boone and only Pat Boone) came to my city year after year and screwed it up, as much as I love my Caucasian brethren, I would do everything in my power to bounce them away from my house.

I'd comment but I'm in Cymbalta withdrawal, on a new anti-seizure med, my partner is out of town (though I did get some very lovely orchids as an apology), and G Gordon Liddy is back in my crawlspace, doing seven hours of "erection finance law" jokes a day, so, you know, fuck it all, I can't read Doug yet.<br /><br />But I feel I have to draw <a href="http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052702303657404576357622592697038.html?KEYWORDS=Meghan+Cox+Gurdon" rel="nofollow">this</a> to your attention. Then I find myself speculating on what the hell she read as a teenager, and what she'd like to see stories about, and I conclude that "Serendipity" books might be just about right if they weren't so full of commie indoctrination like "Normal is what you are!" and then I find myself sunk into the realization that Meghan has absolutely no fucking clue what life is like for teenagers and never has had. My teenage years had elements in common with war crimes tribunal transcripts, for Chrissakes. And Marilyn Manson no more invented self-mutilation than Bill Clinton invented the blowjob. And good heavens, you mean there are gay teens out there? Still? Obviously repressive peer pressure hasn't finished them all off yet, hop to it young bullies. (Seriously, it's been a bad week here. The sarcasm has gone terminal.)<br /><br />I can't speak to what goes on in Meghan's kids' heads, but I'm betting she's no closer to it than I am, let alone in the heads of kids who are abused and bullied and victimized in ways that they can only handle *because* they are kids and therefore more resilient than adults. <br /><br />Seriously, the WSJ has no business printing this stuff without a large reminder at the top that this is a woman who was traumatized by her neighbors' political bumper stickers. But then, this is a paper so fucked up that we've been getting delivery of it on our unshared stair landing for two weeks now and I still can't get them to stop it because we are not in fact subscribers. Exactly, I say, so stop leaving your fucking garbage on my steps. As far as they know, goes the reply, they're not. <br /><br />I'm forced to assume this is some kind of malicious vandalism. Or else Liddy has ordered it and never bothers to bring it in.D.
