...right now, right outside my window, are Sheryl Crow, Sofia Vergara, and Mariska Hargitay.
Well, not actually them, but great big pictures of them on the side of a tractor trailer.
Seems the "got milk?" folks are in town for a stop on their nationwide tour, but regrettably I will be unable to attend the festivities, seeing as how they have not yet perfected Diet Coke flavored milk.
I would be more than willing to visit, however, were Sheryl, Sofia, or Mariska actually here, maybe handing out samples or signing autographs or professing their undying love for slow-witted semi-arboreal North American marsupials.

Goes great with Cornaguins!

And if you had a weird-funny laugh.
Posted by: Marc V at April 5, 2007 01:18 PMErr, umm, surely that's supposed to be pink.
And don't call me Shirley!
Posted by: Marc V at April 5, 2007 01:19 PMAs I said--much too close to keep people from making the association.
Posted by: Terry Oglesby at April 5, 2007 01:29 PMI have to ask the obvious: "free samples of what?"
Posted by: Cletus at April 5, 2007 01:33 PMAnd I must respond with the obvious answer--"It really wouldn't matter."
Posted by: Terry Oglesby at April 5, 2007 01:42 PMI would go tremendously out of my way to avoid Sheryl Crow.
"All I wanna do...
Is break your thumbs"
Alas, it appears I will not get the opportunity to either avoid her, nor partake of her samples. They're packing everything back into the trailer now, and in only a few more minutes, she and the other two will be going on to the next stop in the 'burbs south of downtown.
Posted by: Terry Oglesby at April 5, 2007 03:01 PMSkinnydan, I'm with you. As for Mariska, OTOH, (and I admit I don't know her politics) really works for me!
Posted by: Nate at April 5, 2007 03:04 PMWell, I have to say that although I dislike Ms. Crow's general political leanings, it does make me have a warm smile all over when I think that all of her liberal buddies are probably aghast that she's in the thrall of the evil Bovine Lactation Lobby (i.e. Big Milk) AND evil Clairol, (i.e., Big Cosmetics, who torture baby animals and objectify womyn). I figure anyone who's that big a corporate sell-out can't be all bad.

Number of photos of Miss Crow saved on computer: 0
Number of photos of Miss Hargitay saved on computer: 47 billion
Posted by: Terry Oglesby at April 5, 2007 04:13 PMBelieve it or not, it's Ms. Crow's "music", not her politics, that bother me.
Posted by: skinnydan at April 5, 2007 08:31 PMWow--well, then, forget everything I said!
