forgive me Father, for I have had visions of locusts carrying off Miss adventure.
Unless, of course, you are really, really sick, and then I feel very bad. I hope you are OK soon.
I am planning on being there. When their vocals are done by a man named Hot Karl, you just have to see them.

It's so cute when he shakes his little rear end! Aww.
How courageuse! no one can argue about the price or the novelty value of a flaming computer but it is much more satisfying to get in someone's face when it blows up rather than calling Bangalore. Since the accent grave does not compute on this website replace "cr�ve" with "grippe" in my recent message and I still hope you're better.
...and another reason I dont have one of these dang PCs at home, I fly straight and narrow with my mac. No major issues and I get an american when I have an issue.
Quelle horreur! do you intend to risque your life encore and buy another Dell? Are you going to name the next one Charlotte? Have you completely recovered from your "cr�ve"?
***Miss Adventure Responds***
Well they're sending me another one for free, and since free is my very favorite price, I think I'll give it a go. I think this one will just be Serge Gainsbourg II.
You realize of course that GOD is getting you back for lusting in your heart and your blog after the hottie priests. You have been struck with pestilence and fire. Look out for the locusts.
***Miss Adventure Responds***
Pestilence and fire? Drag! Although, in the spirit of full disclosure, I have spent WAY too much time with priests (two former roommates are currently ordained) to ever properly lust after them.
Except for Gabriel Byrne. Rowr.
Pleeez tell me you took a pic of the remains?
Big story here...
Flu.......ick, no fun.
Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate..juice or 7Up....tylenol for fever and aches, if perchance you're nauseous, there's a wonderful sodium-bicarb called "Emetrol" to help. We used to give it to toddlers with fevers.
By the way Ms. Adventure, have you had your flu shot??
Hope you feel better sweetie. By the way, I've watched your latest "no reservations" heartthrob and yea, he's got a rustic charm, but girl, the boy has no butt! He's skinny!
: > Just kiddin..hope you feel better soon.

Did you steal that link from me or are we just thinking alike again.
mmmmm....convertible hearse...
**Miss Adventure responds**
Must be thinking alike again, although please don't think me above stealing links, because I'll do it.
Glad you're back.
Having read (as per your "click here" note) the Tony from Cleveland's piece on theatrical cookery, we're doubly glad we have YOU to read.
True, the fellow has a sharp wit that is almost up to your caliber.
But ... if there was so much as a pinch of the class or the generosity of spirit that we get from you ... we missed it
Yet you've declared the fellow smoochworthy.
Couldn't fathom it m'self, but C.J. says opposites CAN attract.
P'rhaps that's it.
Curiouser and curiouser. I have said before that I really enjoyed your blog but I always considered understanding it to be a secondary concern. I only got half of the explanations but that's par for the course. signed: la-fausse-brune-who-does-not-care-if-she-cannot-bridge-the-generation-gap-okay-half-a-generation
whew! That was a mouthful Ms. Adventure..: > Thank you for that bodacious summation. Yes, I remember Mick, but I turned the channel the minute I saw him, sorry honey, but that boy looks like a life-lived-rough. Guess I'm guess too attracted to George Strait. And the rest, well, lets just say its not my cup of tea..but to each their own.. Keep up the good work..: >
ok honey, I don't mean to be rude, but I'm from the 70's timetable and would like to know WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT....really I'd like to know; some of us old women like to stay up on the "buzz phrases" but I have no clue.
**Miss Adventure responds**
Ha! Okay, let me see if I can translate (although I would like it stated for the record that most of the people/music style to which I refer were alive, kicking and probably better in the '70s. YOU should probably be teaching ME.)
Psychobilly - A musical style taking its cues from rockabilly (Ricky Nelson, early Elvis), iconic country (Johnny Cash, Merle Haggard), Seattle garage (The Sonics) 1950's-60's B movies, especially ones involving monsters or hot rods, all put in a blender and mixed with punk-style arrangements. The Flametrick Subs are the best example of psychobilly locally. They take after The Cramps, who are widely considered the genre's parents.
Dirtyhot - Sexy and raunchy, the type you don't take home to momma!
Psychoglam -the preface psycho --as in pyschobilly-- usually indicates a punk treatment of an established musical genre, in this case the glam rock of the 1970s (Bowie et al)
Jagger - Mick. Posing, posturing, pouting frontman of a little combo called The Rolling Stones (I didn't need to tell you this one, did I?)
Johansen - David. The campy occasionally cross-dressing lead singer of 1970's seminal punk rock/glam band The New York Dolls.
Iggy - Iggy Pop, oft-nude singer The Stooges. Known as the Godfather of Punk, has lived a life that makes Keith Richards look like Mary Lou Retton. Off the charts stage energy...also? Clearly insane and probably made of asbestos.
Emo's - a large and venerated club on the corner of 6th and Red River, downtown.
Red River - The street on which most of the bars that are still interested in live music --mostly punk, rockabilly and their lovechildren-- reside.
Handsome Joel - Joel Svatek, the patron saint of Red River. He was the Emo's stage manager --beloved by almost all. On January 27th, 2003 he was hit and killed by a drunk driver. The Handsome Joel foundation is a local nonprofit dedicated to reduce the number of drunk-driving related deaths.
Elysium - A goth/dance club on Red River. I've only been in once, but the clientele seems to wear a lot of vinyl, capes and stage make up. The black eyeliner was a gentle poke at the goth kids (don't want to poke them too hard and make them cry).
everything else are bands, of which I had various unimportant opinions.
Hope this helps, and thanks for reading!
would rather have heard more about puppies....
We quite understand why you, Rhiannon, seein' as how you�re a lady of refinement and th' soul of propriety, would shy away from such stories.
Tales touching upon the beautiful people of Tinseltown, such as who pursues whom, are as exciting a read as the Begats.
(There IS a great deal of begatting in these latter-day tales, come to think of it.)
Our reactions to them run the gamut betwixt Ho-Hum and Yawn.
Let's please consider that UT Austin does have the McDonald Observatory before we write them off as not being a science school for lack of a planetarium.
We who respond to your blog won't know the "best" carnitas, i doubt most could describe them, for that knowledge is the domain of the real Mexican; ask the underpaid crew cleaning up your mess as you head out to kill the jones.
The really scary part is that I can not only picture this in my mind but have also lived it...well, almost. The cake said "Feliz Cumplea�os" instead of "bautizo" and there was no state inspection involved.
I have lived in Lockhart for most of my life; and in my opinion the very best barbecue in Lockhart, or anywhere else for that matter, can be found at Chisholm Trail BBQ. In fact, ALL the locals I know, go to Chisholm Trail. It's not as famous as the others, but the food is better AND less expensive. Last week, we bought a whole chicken, 1/2 pound of beef, three rings of sausage, a chopped beef sandwich, a pint of potato salad, a pint of green beans, a half pint of cole slaw, half a loaf of HOMEMADE BREAD, plus sauce, pickles and jalapenos for $19.97. And it was DE-LISH, as always! Plus they have peach cobbler with ice cream -- umm umm.
When my brother-in-law and his family come to visit from Miami, they always bring a cooler so they can take some back with them to share with their friends back home. It's just that good!
ok... i hit the wrong button... i hope ya got the last one..
here is more...
The Kreuz Market served up amazing Texas �cue for almost 100 years�first under founder/owner Charles Kreuz, and then under Edgar "Smitty" Schmidt who bought the place in �48, until a simple family feud tore the market apart. It was straight outta Faulkner and a blow to the entire Texan meat-eating community.
And of course, it's a LONG story, involving a father's passing, sibling rivalry, and unresolved matters of family business. When old Smitty went on to the Great Smokehouse in the Sky, he left half the business (the building) to his daughter and the other half (the name) to his son. The rest of the struggle is kinda sketchy, but one thing's for sure, within a year, Sister Nina Sells took over the building and named the new barbecue joint after her father (Smitty's) and brother Rick took the Kreutz name and its existing staff over to his new joint on the highway, an immense barn of a building tailor-made for incoming bus traffic and high-volume barbecue commerce. Tradition versus progress with a little bit of hardheaded revenge thrown in.
Local barbecue fans couldn't believe it. One of the legacy pits was being torn apart, and there was nothing anyone could do about it. On the good side, however, there were now TWO good barbecue joints where there once was one.

Wow, I had no idea. How torrid! Speaking of torrid, hope you had a great time at your birthday, so sorry I couldn't make it!
