Through The Mist Darkly

Today’s entry comes from that famous group “Average White Broads“.  Bonnie, Patti and Robyn get you into the holiday spirit as only 3 middle-aged Ohio housewives can.  Seems the Broads – hey! they started it – haven’t done much since this came out in 2005 but the website is still intact.  I guess they reached their peak with this one and are having trouble coming up with something to top it.

How about learning a little more about them?  From their site, here’s their answers to the question, “One thing you should know about me”.

Bonnie:

I was accepted into stewardess school the same day my boyfriend proposed to me. I chose marriage. That was 33 years ago and I’ve just about almost never regretted the decision. I am an orange belt in karate, but please don’t attack me because I probably don’t remember any of it.

Patti:

I absolutely adore handbags. I have a closet full of them. Be forewarned – if you carry an adorable handbag to one of our gigs, I may jump off the stage and try to buy it from you – or if you look like I could run faster than you, well, let’s just leave it at that.

Robyn:

I think life in general is very amusing and I’m much smarter than I let on. I speak fluent English. Smart people frighten others so I pretend I’m not intelligent. I’ve fooled many people. No, really, my favorite class in college was Transformational Generative Syntax.

I don’t know what they’re smoking in Ohio but Robyn should take a step back from the bong.

OK, that picture has no direct relationship to the story but I’ll post it to make a point.  The TSA, Transportation Security Administration, in the US is now completely out of control.  A story from Seattle (KOMO TV site with link to video).  Two soldiers were accompanying the body of a colleague at Seattle’s SEATAC airport when they were forced to remove their uniforms at a security checkpoint because their buttons and medals set off the alarms.

As if making sure the skies are safe from our toothpaste and mouthwash wasn’t enough.  The unidentified TSA screener is now officially in the running for the Asshat of the Year award.
