Paperweight Suicide

AS Y'ALL MAY HAVE NOTICED I've been posting picture-stories for the past few days. I was feeling too bitter and depressed for many words.

At the weekend I had hideous ghoulish nightmares that culminated in a bizarre situation where I was deliberately drowning myself in thousands of litres of clear-casting resin. If the suicide had been successful I would have been preserved for ever as a man-sized psychedelic paperweight.

(But Why~??!?)

But of course, just as the suffocating gloop overwhelmed my lungs I woke up gasping ~ drowning in my own perspiration.

I HAVE A NEW favourite TV programme ~ THE RAT PACK! ~ about pest control.

Star of the show is Charlie, the rat-catching jack russell:



Betty la fea

Here's some telehilarity. The original Columbian telenovela upon which Ugly Betty is based!

    Coming by to say thanks for stopping and leaving a comment. Nothing personal but I can not stand that show "ugly Betty". Hope you are having a nice week.

    A reality show about pest control? Crazy.

    Wish I understood Portuguese...

    Charlie rocks. Bad news for the rats when Charlie starts rooting around. I could use Charlie around my crap hole. Fortunately I know how to use traps to maximum effect since Charlie is half a continent and one ocean away.

    Sorry you've had the blues, Gleds. Not nice. I used to like Ugly Betty when it was on. The guy who played the boss used to be my next door neighbour...a gang of us use to go to the Friday night dances and Alan Dale was one of them.

    I've never seen Ugly Betty. In fact I haven't seen most things on TV!

    That dream was awful. More of a nightmare if you ask me....

    Hi Gleds ~~ I hope you are feeling much better by now. And not having nightmares any more.

    It was sad about poor little Sam the
    Koala, but she was going to have much pain and die, so at least it is over for her.

    Take good care of yourself, With very
    best wishes, Merle.

    I've been watching the Rat Pack too. Anything that gets rid of rats (though it's an impossible task I know) is fine by me!

    Baino: what foxxies~??!?

    Margaret Cloud: you're more than welcome. I dropped through via friends of friends ... my "bloghopping" hobby.

    Ugly Betty was on last night here and I really couldn't be bothered with it.

    It repeats Sunday afternoons when I'm far more in tune with the show.

    I find it really funny. I love Vanessa Williams's "Wilhelmina" ~ classic ;->...

    Jeannie: o yeah. You obviously haven't seen A Life of Grime ~ the alltime classic of the genre.

    SPANISH!! Portuguese is Brazil and this is Columbian (so I heard...)

    Molson: when I've time I'll post up Charlie's best ratcatching episode in someone's living room. It was fantastic. 5 secs of neckshakings and one loud squeak and the poor rodent's gone for good ...

    Puss In Boots: I'm feeling better though (apart from sleeping half a DAY last night ...

    I think the set at "Mode magazine" is fantastic ...

    Elaine: o yeah a terrible nightmare. Usually I can't remember what my nightmares are about... just some terrible struggle to put something right that's gone wrong and not quite being able to manage it ...

    Merle: that poor koala. I don't quite understand what the cysts were..? What a nasty aftermath to burns, just when everyone's expecting her to be OK

    Akelamalu: rats is the one thing I'd not be able to do in that job. And pigeons. I'd feel too sorry for them.

    Wasps and cockroaches though ~ I'm yer man!

    Mizpeh: shit! I'm rumbled!!
