OH KENNY
They know that they are considered bizarre. After all, their 1992 wedding began with the wedding party in the nude. "I saw it as a statement that [everyone] had nothing to hide," Kenny says. Julia says she follows only "far-out'' healers and therapists, and advises Kenny to do the same. He wonders: "Is that incredible wisdom or is she a New Age Gracie Allen?" She even inspired Kenny, who wore a beard for 25 years, to shave. "I was afraid Julia would say, 'Oh, I didn't know you looked like that!' " Instead, "she discovered a new erogenous zone."

Both had first marriages where their goal was "to get along." But introspection and angst pay off, Julia says: "The rough spots always lead us to a closer place."

I like how KENNY HAS NO EYES.

LOL @ one gin and tonic to help you read. Shamefully, I can identify.

That cover is a perfect example of guitar-as-phallus.

― Armando Grouse (Armando ), Thursday, 21 December 2006 18:28 (seventeen years ago) link

I have, Julia! I got tired of being sniped, so I sniped back. It works.

One of my coworkers just complained about all the alcohol she is getting from the subcontractors. 'I mean, COME ON! I HARDLY EVEN DRINK!' Give it here, lady.

Shit, I thought that was an unwashed Crispin Glover for a minute.

Devandra B. would shoot white light out of his eyes and when the white light it the ground it would turn into tofu wraps and hits of acid.

What's awesome about that photoshop is I thought you whitened KL's face a little bit, but then I looked back and realized you didn't! Dude has natural corpse paint.

If I had more time and proper image editing software I'd decapitate some of the audience members and maybe put some blood running out of his mouth.

Note: I edited that image using http://www.fauxto.com/, which is a web-based flash image editor. You can open an image from a remote location and when you save it, you save it to their servers. It's like the best piece of message-board related technology since the http://www.clicksmilies.com/s1106/lachen/laughing-smiley-014.gif.

Hey Kevin, do you remember that time you and Courtney and me were drinking at the Italian Village and you yelled PROVOLONE? I think about that sometimes and laugh.

― otto midnight, that 'tofu makes you gay' ding dong (otto midnight), Thursday, 21 December 2006 20:10 (seventeen years ago) link

what a bunch of fucking guidos at the EYE-talian village.

― otto midnight, that 'tofu makes you gay' ding dong (otto midnight), Thursday, 21 December 2006 20:11 (seventeen years ago) link

I wish I'd had a chance to mention to the dude you met at the Italian Village a while back that he was the dude you met at the Italian Village a while back. I saw him at a wedding in August but didn't talk to him.

― jaymc (jaymc), Thursday, 21 December 2006 20:13 (seventeen years ago) link

Garrett, I mean.

― jaymc (jaymc), Thursday, 21 December 2006 20:14 (seventeen years ago) link

Yeah! We were like BFFs for about a half hour. It's just so weird that you knew him.

― Handgun O. Mendocino (pullapartgirl), Thursday, 21 December 2006 20:16 (seventeen years ago) link

my favorite part of the italian village experience was when jenny got up to use the rest room she left her beer and cell phone on the bar in front of her chair with her coat on the back of her chair. this soused-on-wine 40/50-something woman came over and tried to sit in the seat. courtney was like "uhm, what the fuck are you doing? someone's obviously sitting there." then the soused-on-vino lady got all sour. about five minutes later some dude about 5 people away from us got up, left his beer, phone, and cigarettes on the bar and his jacket on the back of the seat. same old drunky-loo tried to sit there too before the dudes friend alerted her to the fact that someone was sitting there.

i love people watching when you can guarantee me that someone will act like a complete moron/asshole.

Just talked with my BFF grades 3-7. She has 2 kids and lives in an old Victorian in the middle of Ohio.

Feeling wistful.

― Armando Grouse (Armando ), Thursday, 21 December 2006 21:34 (seventeen years ago) link

Not sure why. She was a total hellcat in middle school.

― Armando Grouse (Armando ), Thursday, 21 December 2006 21:34 (seventeen years ago) link

I'm not sure why I shared that with the internet. My apologies.

― Armando Grouse (Armando ), Thursday, 21 December 2006 21:35 (seventeen years ago) link

yes, you owe us an apology for that one lady

― the internet (otto midnight), Thursday, 21 December 2006 21:36 (seventeen years ago) link

My 10th high school reunion is on Saturday. I'm reluctantly going, because of threats against my life from my one friend who does want to go. I doubt it will make me feel wistful, but I'd like to see just how far some of the jocky prep fuckers have fallen. In fact I'm going to be really pissed if only one or two of them has become a mess.

― danno martinez (danno martinez), Thursday, 21 December 2006 21:37 (seventeen years ago) link

The messy people never (or rarely) show up to the reunion. Don't get yer hopes up.
