SEGUE'S FROM HELL, cont'd

Mom: "So, I found some kitchen shelves at Target. They were notty pine--"

Me: "They were shelves."
"They were naughty."
"They were pine."
"They were bad to the stump."

Mom: "Nooooooo! Not that spelling! Notty! I said Notty Pine!"

"Notty" pine? So, they're walnut? Or, was that knotty?

They just re-named our outdoor threater here. It WAS Pine Knob, which Richard Jeni refers to as a Xmas anal ornament, or something like that.

They now call it the DTE Music Theater, in keeping with the trend to re-name everything corporate.

Heard someone the other day call it: The Energy Knob.

Heh heh.

Having attended many events there over the years, I am relatively comfortable in commenting to the affirmative on the free use of chemical substances by concert-goers.

However, not to be outdone by that, the bug population alone would be just cause for free live-saving hand-outs to all patrons. The bugs out that way have frequently carried off small children and eaten them alive.

Ah--summer in Michigan and the eatin' is easy...;)
