Play “Come On, Feel The Illinoise” in a convertible while you drive to the weed dispensary.

I’m not sad, but I have been known to be sad, and this cured me in 35 seconds or less.

The best thing about the fourth of July is the ability to consume hot dogs AND hamburgers all day long with very little judgement tossed your way.

4OJ is a slang abbreviation for the “4th of July”.

We went to the lake to watch fireworks for the 4OJ.

Woman Raped By Toyota Dealership: details at 11.

HORRIBLE. The most horrible most uncaring people in the world.

These are the most horrible people in the world. They are astonishingly cruel and don’t care about the customer at all. They only car about making a buck. They treated me so horribly that I still cry. I was in tears when I left and they don’t care. They have the audacity to still send me stuff in the mail when I have asked them not to because of the traumatic experience I had. Traumatic experience. When I spoke to the owner Chris Ashworth (more like A** worthless) he was condescending and wouldn’t appologize. He just kept saying what a great deal it was. It’s not about the car. It’s about the experience and I was emotionally RAPED at North Hollywood Toyota. It is just as traumatic as being physically beaten except that bruises go away. Yet they take no responsibility for their actions because they ONLY CARE ABOUT MONEY AND NOT THE CUSTOMER. Do not see Ryan. He is the offender. Ryan will berate you and try to make you feel stupid. Everytime you say that you don’t want to do this, he will argue with you and tell you that you are being stupid or that your old car is dangerous. And whatever you do, do not give them the keys to your old car so they can “take a look at it”. You will never get them back. They will hold them and not let you leave untill you sign what ever papers they have put infront of you. Even if they have to fill out the rest of the paperwork themselves. They rest of the paperwork that you as the customer are supposed to fill out. They will do whatever they have to to sell a car even if it means raping someone. don’t let it happen to you!!!!!!!

• Pros: non
• Cons: they will take advantage of any situation. Horrible people

But what, exactly, are they farming?

Alice Gregory’s blog*, which has the effect of making you feel as though you have entered a pleasantly air-conditioned department store, mentioned the “startlingly cruel” Farrah Fawcett obit by Alessandra Stanley.  I had missed it last week, but it’s worth reading, because cruel is exactly what it is.  To wit:

Cancer interrupted Ms. Fawcett’s attempted comeback in 2006 and put her on a different, more didactic track — pursued by a careful-what-you-wish-for flurry of publicity. She put the incessant tabloid intrusion to the service of her illness, making a video diary of her struggle with anal cancer that, among other things, allowed her to feel that she had some control over the coverage. NBC, never shy about exploiting a celebrity tragedy, overproduced and overpromoted her film in “Farrah’s Story,” but never made the public service point that, besides abstinence, the HPV vaccine is the most promising form of prevention against this type of cancer, which in most cases is sexually acquired.

Classy, Alessandra! It’s totally her fault she got cancer! [facepalm]

*I found her blog through Magic Molly.  They’re good friends.  For some reason, when Magic Molly posts a link, I click it.  This lends credibility to Molly Lambert’s claim that I am a “looxist”
