HOLY CRAP!

There was a murder-suicide in Harahan tonight. A block away from the playground and about half-mile from my house. To my knowledge, it's the first time since I've lived there that a Harahan resident committed murder in the city.

THE TINA CURSING CORNER

My mom takes a look at my sunburned head. "Fucking scalp is peeling."

I'm trying to register the new air conditioner system online. I'm on the phone with mom filling in the information. I ask her for the brand name of the old system. "Uh, I just threw the motherfucker away." (She remembered it from a list of choices I read.)

WHAT TIME IS IT? I CAN'T TELL.

I don't watch Big Brother, but Tina made me watch a clip from this past week's episode. This is my favorite thing I've seen on TV this summer. The chick might be the dumbest woman alive.

ON THIS DATE IN GENE POOL HISTORY

2008: I told the origin of The Gene Pool. Here's the pickup line one more time for ya.

Me: "How's it going? My name's Gene."
Target: "Pretty good. My name is (so-and-so)."
Me: "That's a lovely name. Do you like to go swimming?"
Target: "Of course. I love the beach. Hee-hee."
Me: "Want to take a dip in The Gene Pool?"

PARTING SHOTS
We're joking about traveling to see the Jesters play in the playoffs.

D: And we can take off our shirts and spell out Jesters on our chests.
Marcus: D, you can fit ESTERS across just your chest.

Liam and I are looking at the Cubs schedule.

Me: What is that little cartoon thing on the schedule there?
Liam: Isn't that from G-Force?
Me: Oh yeah. That's everywhere. You can't avoid the promotion of that film.
Liam: Yeah. It's a force to be reckoned with.
