Garfield Minus Garfield


And speaking of not detoxing, here's more shizzle from the Interwebs. Garfield Minus Garfield is exactly how it sounds: the lonely, depressing tale of John Arbuckle or, as the GMG mastermind puts it: "Who would have guessed that when you remove Garfield from the Garfield comic strips, the result is an even better comic about schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and the empty desperation of modern life?"

Bloomin' Spring


   There were flowers, of course at the Mass Horticultural Society Flower Show — a/k/a/ “Rhapsody in Green” — at the Bayside Expo center last week. But not as many as we’d expected.

Actually, the majority of the capacious Bayside show-space was taken up by a craft fair where vendors large and small pitched everything from decorative brass frogs to chain saws to home-equity loans. That part was a bore, but the plants were nice.

Some were displayed in natural settings; others in inventive arrangements. A survey of the award-winning table-top arrangements made you wonder what these shows must have been like before gay liberation.

Still others were showcased in elaborate stand-alone garden plots, each of which had a theme — some recognizable, some comparatively oblique. There was one set up as a monastery herb garden and several simulations of soul-defiant suburban back yards. One incorporated an electronic grand piano, programmed to tinkle out gag-me hits of the 1980s. And then there were these two pictured displays.

We never got an explanation.

Bindi Irwin Raps about Grizzly Bears; Has Gay Back-Up Enviro-Bitch Dancers




Playing catch up on Jezebel, I caught this horrifying freakshow of Bindi Irwin rapping about the jungle book, grizzlies, and orangutans on Today. The fact that her mother let this happen makes me want to hurt someone. This girl needs a Degrassi marathon and some pants that aren't pedal-pushers. More importantly, therapy. And more time to grieve for her father OFF the camera. Stat. Thanks.
