Funny Story

So at a recent Justin Bond performance--but not recent enough!-- s/he told us a hilarious story about being backstage at Carnegie Hall during the McGarrigle Christmas Hour, which I was at with my love. I could never tell it as JB does (plenty of laffs on his blog), but Dust and I thought it was MARIO.

So backstage at Carnegie Hall, Our Lady J turns to Justin and asks her: "Hey Justin, can you do my backfat?" And Justin says "Sure" and comes over and helps J with her dress. Emmylou Harris was also in the same dressing room, and says: "Excuse me, what did you just say?" to which J says, "You know, do my backfat. If you push it to the front it makes cleavage. You know, we all have backfat." The profundity of this statement was not lost on Emmylous, as she repeats, solemnly, "We all have backfat." As Justin tells it, as they were heading onstage, he hears her say again, in a whisper: "We all have backfat."

Here's a Venn diagram that I made in Paint of the amount of people in this world who may think this was funny:

I slipped and then you pulled. You pulled me up.

My friend Beth texts me today at 7:30: I slipped and then you pulled. You pulled me up.



thanks b! i needed that

And another

Oh wait, I found another one. This one says OH HAI in Georgian, which has been scrubbed from the internet. The granddaddy of free language sites does not have a Georgian entry, nor does this crazy cat who's trying to decide which language he wants to learn, trying them all on for size as he goes....



Wait, is this it?
Hello (gamarjoba) გამარჯობა
That's what this kitty said!

For the cat ladies

Since the cat ladies have me on RSS or something, here's a little something for them. This krazy kitty was found in the Museum of History and Ethnography in Tblisi, Georgia. I hear s/he speaks Georgian and scary kitty voice. I'm unable to discern sex or gender identity from the photo, but the whiskers skew male.
