God and The Daily Show Effect

Hi God,

Something Strange and Mysterious has happened

and I’m

chalking it up to  your

Godly Powers.

Either that or you’re drinking again….

but we’ll get to that later.

Anyway, here’s the skinny: 

Over the last few weeks Irregular Bones has gone from an

on-line

 journal

where I write about my cats and my friends and family and head hunters and civil rights and

homeless people and what my bus rides to and from work are like

and my hero worship of Rod Serling and Bruce Campbell

to

a

NEWS SOURCE.

I kid you not.

So being that I’m trying to get on your good side

( well, at least on Sundays )

I’m prepared to answer your Call:

I have a half a pound of Pez on hand at all times

 an endless supply of Jolt cola

a weird sense of humor

and Google at my finger tips.

I am SO going to have fun with this.

Thanks for the Call God,

it’s a good one.

Oh and between me and you

I don’t care what anyone says

YOU ARE FUNNY.

See Ya Next Sunday….

ahhhhmennnnn.

Consider The Twilight Zone

/ Anita Marie / Leave a comment

It was much more then it appeared to be.

( below is a link to a great NPR interview with Marc Zicree, author )

Weekend Edition Saturday, October 2, 1999 · Scott speaks with Marc Zicree, author of The Twilight Zone Companion, about the sensibility and significance of the landmark television series, which made its debut 40 years ago this weekend. The program, which ran from 1959-64, was created and hosted by Rod Serling, and has been in syndication ever since.

 

An Important Lesson From The Twilight Zone:

serling.jpg 

It’s one thing to speak your mind,

it’s another to commit those thoughts to paper.

That particular act has never gone by unnoticed.

Sometimes it has a cost .

The Important Thing Is

 You find a way to get your story out there.

I’ve learned that from my hero Rod Serling …

full story here

Rod Serling was surely one of the most idealistic, outspoken, and iconoclastic writers of television’s Golden Age. His highly developed social conscience, his strong opinions against bigotry and prejudice, his antipathy toward network censorship, were eloquently expressed in the more than 200 teleplays he wrote and in the many interviews he gave to national newspapers and magazines- by Linda Jay Brandt

Sorry I Missed Your Call

/ Anita Marie / 7 Comments

Hi God

Sorry I wasn’t here to take your call but leave a message at the beep and I’ll get back to you as soon as I can.

 Hi Anita

You’re not funny. Call me back.

God, you have no one to blame but yourself for that.

Anita, this is your Lord God

I expect you to obey my commands.

Call me.

Hi again God

My Cat expects the same thing, but I just lock him in my work room with food and water and put him on ignore mode.

He also goes to the bathroom right in front of the door, think about it.

Return my call- I mean it.

God damn, You’d really pee on my floor?

Maybe I need to remind you, I flooded the world. Start Praying.

WELL FINE!

Here’s it is My Lord God

 …..

if you think that a Pee Threat

is going to get to me

try again

See you next Sunday

and

ahhhhhmennnnn

 

An Insanity Update

For those of you who like to follow the adventures of

Wolfgang A. Mozart

aka

Insanity Jones

I’m pleased to say that despite his health problems he chased two dogs out of our yard yesterday

(Okay, they were little ones…but STILL)

He’s growling at the Fire Trucks again

(won’t Max be glad to hear that!)

So the next time you’re feeling a little down

Remember that if  a little Insanity can over come

Overwhelming odds

So can you

A Sudden Cold Front Hits Lynnwood, WA

/ Anita Marie / 2 Comments

 macbr37.jpg 

someone in Lynnwood 

Washington

is

having a party and they’re bringing

The I.C.E 

From Lynnwood, Washington

50 ICE agents with uniforms  and luggage checked in early this morning at Embassy Suites Hotel in Lynnwood. They came with 1 bus and 3 vans.
This is our plan of action:

1. we want Lynnwood residents to know there are ICE agents in their community

2. based in our experience, we expect that a raid might happen

3. based in our experience we ask community to be vigilant and safe from ICE activity

4. fear in the community is based on ICE well known targeted racial profiling raids

5. key community members and organizations are ready to support and educate the larger community about their rights, – distributing know your rights materials; legal observers are on site to record ICE activity; organizations are doing outreach to the mainstream media; organizations are trying to set up legal help

6. We want raids and detentions to stop. Raids are an outrage and are hurting our community.

God I have one question before I start with our Sunday Chat:

Did you take some PPL time and turn management over to an Intern or did you outsource to Hell or what?

Just put that lightning bolt down Hoss and I’ll explain myself:

vie13021.jpg

Hi God

These were the things that caused me to question your judgement skills this week-

One drunk guy caused a series of three seperate accidents on I-5 down in Tacoma and it shut all the southbound lanes.

ALL OF THEM.

I mean I don’t know who is in charge of I-5 but it’s a safe bet to say it ain’t you O Lord Of The Heavens.

And then of course there’s these two Transgender guys that were kicked out of a Mall in Downtown Seattle for using the wrong restroom

In protest people attending the Gender Odyssey Conference held a

Pee In.

No I’m not kidding and No I couldn’t have phrased that differently.

So tell me Supreme Commander

did you inspire the Pee-In?

Yeah, well, actually I do know the answer to that one.

And then here in my very own home town of Mountlake Terrace one of our City Council Members took out a restraining order against another of our City Council Members.

It has something to do with trees and intimadation.

I wished to you I was kidding but I’m not.

So look God the next time you decided to take a few days off

don’t leave anybody in charge.

By the time you get back we’ll all be on our knees down here

thanking you for being there.

See you WAY LATER ( I hope )

 I mean

Amen.

 

 

The Indiana Toilet Monster

/ Anita Marie / 7 Comments

In the spirit of the upcoming holiday (I don’t mean my birthday…I mean Halloween) I thought I’d post some nifty Halloween Related Urban Legends from now until the BIG DAY.

I’ve decided to start with

The Toilet Monster

skull1-11.jpg

The toilet monster is a girl named Carmen who was pushed down into a sewer by her classmates and died. Carmen Whitehead lived in Indiana, so the story goes- and for some reason it’s important to mention that so I did.

Okay…back to the story.

So shortly after Carmen meets her death in the Sewer this post shows up at MySpace:

If you don’t repost this saying:

They Pushed Her Down The Sewer

Carmen will get you…

To fill you in, Carmen from Indiana will come up from you Shower or Toilet and drag you down to where she is in the sewers and then she’ll kill you.

I think it would be way more efficient to kill you first and then flush you down the toilet- but hey I didn’t write this.

I did however enjoy it because I can’t help but to wonder how many of you will think about Carmen The Indiana Toilet Monster the next time you visit the smallest room in the house.

I think that’s pretty darn funny.

Urban Legends…. they are more then amusing stories they are the gift that keeps on giving.

Did Something Die Under The House Again?

/ Anita Marie / 6 Comments

My bad….it’s just Sunday coming around again.

Okay God, it’s just me and you here and it’s Sunday – but we’re going to pretend we’re just two people shooting the breeze because I have some non-churchy issues to discuss with you-

so here we go

vie13022.jpg

My friend is a good guy, he helps people even when he’s not feeling so well,

he sets aside his own issues to help people when he could retire and sit on a beach somewhere and toss back Pina Coladas until he has depleted the entire Coconut population from the entire planet Earth.

So explain to me God why someone like that gets a message on his answering machine that prompts him to tell his friends;

“remember, I’d never hurt myself and I’d never walk away from any of you without saying goodbye”

You need to look into that one God.

Next 

Someone I know died.

This person used to use their illness to get what they

wanted from people.

This person was shameless

they would say or do anything to get what they wanted from you.

I’m not going to the funeral and when I deleted them

from my e-mail list and phone lists

It felt good

Very Good

I’m going to Hell for that, aren’t I?

Just a heads-up I know that’s going to cost me.

Now, I try to never end our Sunday Chat on a bad

note

I really try to be thankful for the good things in my life

Like my friends

and my family

( which are one in the same to me )

and I’m truly thankful for living in Snohomish County

because stuff like this happens:

A woman in Everett, Washington is trying to sell

some genuine Oscars and the

The Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences

is sueing to stop her from doing it.

All I can say to them is,

you don’t know what you’re messing with boys and girls

Here in Snohomish we aren’t your regular type Humans.

Saddle up cause it’s going to be a rough ride.

 

Okay God

I’m going to turn you lose now

I’ll see you next Sunday

try, if it’s at all possible,  to do the Mercy thing

some of us are in need of it right now

Later.

I mean no, it’s

” Amen “

and I’ll see you next Sunday

 Come Hell or High Water

( IT’S A JOKE !)
