Does no one get it? SHE WAS TRYING TO BEAT THE SUN!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She had to make a break for it, because she was a long way from her underground bunker and as soon as the sun came up she would be reduced to a pile of ashes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They say her blood alcohol level was .12 or something, but did anyone think about the fact that it was probably because she had gotten some poor slob drunk in a bar and then drank his blood?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No, of course not. I am the only person that knows the truth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here is the real mug shot of &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;Lindsay&lt;/span&gt; when she was arrested.

This is courtesy of the International Herald Tribune, but has been widely reported elsewhere as well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"It may seem bizarre, but it is no joke. Leaping sturgeon have injured three people on the &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;Suwannee&lt;/span&gt; so far this year, including a woman on a Jet Ski and a girl whose leg was shattered when one of the big fish jumped aboard her boat. Eight others were hit last year, and with traffic growing on the storied river, sturgeon are joining alligators and hurricanes on the list of things to dread in Florida.  &lt;p&gt;"These injuries are very impressive," said Lawrence &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;Lottenberg&lt;/span&gt;, director of trauma surgery at the University of Florida College of Medicine in nearby &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;Gainesville&lt;/span&gt;. "You've got people sitting on the front of an open boat, and the boat is going 20, 30, 40 miles per hour. The fish jumps up and usually slaps these people right across their face and upper chest. Almost every one of them, universally, has been knocked unconscious. If you're not wearing a life jacket, you're going to fall in the water and potentially drown."&lt;/p&gt;So, you are out with your friends for a day on the river, you have a few beers, it's sunny and bright. You're laughing and chatting, maybe singing along to the radio, and suddenly you are slapped across the face and chest by a flying sturgeon.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I looked up sturgeons. They are up to 8 feet long and weigh up to 200 lbs. They are relics of the dinosaur era, and have armor plating. Even better. You are not just slapped across the face with a fish, you are slapped across the face with an 8-foot, 200 lb dinosaur fish with armor plating.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I thought about this for awhile, and I decided that there is only one way that this whole thing could be turned into a positive event.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It could happen to Lindsay &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;Lohan&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wouldn't that just be karmic justice at its finest? Lindsay &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"&gt;Lohan&lt;/span&gt;, coked up, drunk , racing her newly acquired speed boat down the Suwanee River, when suddenly she is slapped across the face and chest and rendered unconscious by a flying sturgeon.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I can picture it now. She'd be all, like, "Woo..Wooo...Hey guys! Watch me race this baby! Have I told you how much I hate Paris Hilton? Man that bitch got what she deserved..jail was too good for her...If I saw her now I would tell her......."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5"&gt;Blam&lt;/span&gt;! Sturgeon right across the face.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of course, Lindsay wouldn't drown. It is a well know fact that witches and other supernatural creatures can't drown. But wait! The speeding incident would have to be at night. Because Lindsay is a vampire! So it would have to be a night sturgeon.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'll bet sturgeon don't sleep, so it is possible. I hope it isn't a day sturgeon because then the accident victim would be the reanimated corpse of Lindsay's long dead twin, in which case the sturgeon would probably knock her head clear off and then the title of this story would have to be "It's All Fun And Games Until The Reanimated Corpse Of Your Long Dead Twin Has Her Head Knocked Off By A Sturgeon"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30856574-5545806746770586821?l=gregorygarner.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://gregorygarner.blogspot.com/feeds/5545806746770586821/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=30856574&amp;postID=5545806746770586821' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30856574/posts/default/5545806746770586821'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30856574/posts/default/5545806746770586821'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://gregorygarner.blogspot.com/2007/07/its-all-fun-and-games-until-someone.html' title='It&apos;s All Fun And Games Until Someone Gets Hit In The Face With A Sturgeon'/><author><name>Greg</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14363052093560548346</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='09060745558398459021'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30856574.post-5594782159463445011</id><published>2007-06-18T21:29:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2007-06-18T21:33:11.423-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Best Parody Of An 80's Video Ever</title><content type='html'>&lt;object width="425" height="350"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/rF-zeMFDtF0"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="wmode" value="transparent"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/rF-zeMFDtF0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30856574-5594782159463445011?l=gregorygarner.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://gregorygarner.blogspot.com/feeds/5594782159463445011/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=30856574&amp;postID=5594782159463445011' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30856574/posts/default/5594782159463445011'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30856574/posts/default/5594782159463445011'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://gregorygarner.blogspot.com/2007/06/best-parody-of-80s-video-ever.html' title='Best Parody Of An 80&apos;s Video Ever'/><author><name>Greg</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14363052093560548346</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='09060745558398459021'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30856574.post-7887403482556028172</id><published>2007-06-06T22:59:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2007-06-06T23:23:57.298-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Lindsay Tries Revenge On No Blue Drinks By Threatening Miss Bulgaria</title><content type='html'>Today No Blue Drinks received this disturbing photo from Vampire/Drunken Slut Lindsay Lohan.

So not true.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is obviously just another attempt to distract the press from the fact that Lindsay is currently building a sun-proof bunker 500 feet below the beaches of &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;SoCal&lt;/span&gt; to protect her increasingly fragile vampire body from sun (and possibly wind) damage.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;LA doesn't know what's coming. While Lindsay's &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;Twin's&lt;/span&gt; Reanimated Corpse is running around pretending to be Lindsay, checking into rehab, winking at Dina The Werewolf behind reporters' backs, and plotting in her reanimated mind how she is going to become Lindsay PERMANENTLY, the real Lindsay is  laying the groundwork for the total &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;annihilation&lt;/span&gt; of all who have defied Her.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By utter coincidence, I happened to &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"&gt;receive&lt;/span&gt; in the mail today a copy of a video that Lindsay made depicting what &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5"&gt;she&lt;/span&gt; plans to do in every LA nightclub. Starting with any club that admitted Paris Hilton.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Watch as Lindsay's Training Video shows how she will enter a nightclub, gobble up body parts, and set everyone on fire as she exits.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object height="350" width="425"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/fHDiM4yP5LQ"&gt;&lt;param name="wmode" value="transparent"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/fHDiM4yP5LQ" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" height="350" width="425"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30856574-7828967121763494635?l=gregorygarner.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://gregorygarner.blogspot.com/feeds/7828967121763494635/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=30856574&amp;postID=7828967121763494635' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30856574/posts/default/7828967121763494635'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30856574/posts/default/7828967121763494635'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://gregorygarner.blogspot.com/2007/05/lindsay-is-back-in-rehab-andor.html' title='Lindsay Is Back In Rehab And/Or The Reanimated Corpse Of Her Long-Dead Twin Needed A Limb Stitched Back On'/><author><name>Greg</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14363052093560548346</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='09060745558398459021'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30856574.post-7818148936092375523</id><published>2007-05-27T06:09:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2007-05-27T06:38:55.742-05:00</updated><title type='text'>I'm Back, And You Can Thank Lindsay Lohan</title><content type='html'>In spite of the fact that our house is still only about 50% put together, and in spite of the fact that I am working not one, not two, but three jobs, all of which want me to work this weekend, I simply cannot resist commenting on this:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From USA Today - "Lindsay &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;Lohan&lt;/span&gt; was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence after her convertible struck a curb, and investigators found what they believe is cocaine at the scene, police said. &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;Lohan&lt;/span&gt;, 20, and two other people were in her 2005 Mercedes &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;SL&lt;/span&gt;-65 when it crashed on Sunset Boulevard around 5:30 a.m. Saturday, Sgt. Mike &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;Foxen&lt;/span&gt; said."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And so, Miss &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"&gt;Lohan's&lt;/span&gt; special car-crashing abilities come into play again. For those of you not in the know, Lindsay crashes cars about every three or four days. She also apparently never sleeps, as these crashes always seem to happen just when the sun is about to come up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Which is what tipped me off. You see, the police were fooled into believing that Lindsay crashed her car because of drugs and alcohol. But I have figured out the truth. Lindsay &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5"&gt;Lohan&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6"&gt;crashed&lt;/span&gt; her car because she was going as fast as she could so she could beat the sun.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lindsay &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7"&gt;Lohan&lt;/span&gt; is a vampire.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you think about it, it makes perfect sense. She is always zooming &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8"&gt;around&lt;/span&gt; LA at 4am, she always shows up "late" for movie shoots, just as the sun is going down. She is photographed over and over in the middle of the night. She never seems to eat. Have you ever seen a photo of Lindsay eating pizza or pork chops? Neither have I.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Even her hysteria of being photographed makes sense. Vampires are notoriously paranoid, and Lindsay probably hasn't realized that amazing strides in digital photography means that she will actually show up in pictures. I am sure she still a bit traumatized by the events of 1898 when Paris street photographers displayed pictures of Lindsay's empty bustle-skirt and shirtwaist exiting the &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9"&gt;Moulin&lt;/span&gt; Rouge at 5am. This also explains why she is constantly doing really stupid things in front of a camera. She is probably all like "Hey, I'm not going to show up in the photo anyway so why not hike up my skirt and flip them off?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The coke and the booze are clever ruses to deceive America. She isn't drunk or high, she needs to get home before the sun turns her into a pile of ashes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The one thing I don't get is I have seen many pics of Lindsay at the beach. Vampires don't like the beach, what with the sun trying to turn them into a pile of ashes and all.  So I have to assume that the necromancer/alchemist Lindsay slept with in 1363 owes her a favor and has reanimated the corpse of her twin sister who died in 1375 of The Pox.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And so, I have solved the riddle that is Lindsay &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10"&gt;Lohan&lt;/span&gt;. She is a centuries-old nightclubbing vampire whose reanimated corpse of a twin sister sometimes impersonates her in order to fool you, the American public.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now I have to figure out what is up with Dina. I'm thinking werewolf, but I have to do some more research. I'll keep you posted.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30856574-7818148936092375523?l=gregorygarner.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://gregorygarner.blogspot.com/feeds/7818148936092375523/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=30856574&amp;postID=7818148936092375523' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30856574/posts/default/7818148936092375523'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30856574/posts/default/7818148936092375523'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://gregorygarner.blogspot.com/2007/05/im-back-and-you-can-thank-lindsay-lohan.html' title='I&apos;m Back, And You Can Thank Lindsay Lohan'/><author><name>Greg</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14363052093560548346</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='09060745558398459021'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30856574.post-810058487917274739</id><published>2007-05-24T05:28:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2007-05-24T05:33:04.993-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Sorry About The Lack Of Posts But We Are Moving And It Is A Royal Pain In The Ass</title><content type='html'>Ick.

As long as it is in your head. &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30856574-7160481776210498427?l=gregorygarner.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://gregorygarner.blogspot.com/feeds/7160481776210498427/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=30856574&amp;postID=7160481776210498427' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30856574/posts/default/7160481776210498427'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30856574/posts/default/7160481776210498427'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://gregorygarner.blogspot.com/2007/05/day-after-derby.html' title='Day After Derby!'/><author><name>Greg</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14363052093560548346</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='09060745558398459021'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30856574.post-4061659885653467259</id><published>2007-05-05T06:48:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2007-05-08T07:41:24.250-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Derby!</title><content type='html'>&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;I am on the scene at the Kentucky Derby. I am going to watch the &lt;st1:city&gt;&lt;st1:place&gt;Derby&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:city&gt; on TV this afternoon. The weather is horrible. It is rainy and there are going to be thunderstorms. This means that the infield (the section open to the general public) will turn into a giant mud pit and the drunken frat boys and their gal pals will decide to have a mud fight. So pretty. So classy.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;This year Queen Elizabeth will be here. She will be wearing a Derby Hat, but everyone is keeping what it looks like a big secret. Since Queen Elizabeth wears a Derby Hat everyday I am not sure how we will know that it is a special Derby Hat and not just some hat that she wore on her state visit to &lt;st1:country-region&gt;&lt;st1:place&gt;Uzbekistan&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; and decided was too good to give to the Goodwill. I mean, Americans don’t keep track of this sort of thing. Wouldn’t it be horrible if Americans were thrilled to see the Queen in her Derby Hat, but behind our backs the Brits were snickering and saying “Stupid Yanks! That’s the hat she wore at the grand opening of Harrod’s &lt;st1:city&gt;&lt;st1:place&gt;Tashkent&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:city&gt;!”&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;I am also worried about the Queen seeing the infield mudfight. This will not make a good impression.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Last night was the Barnstable Brown party. It is the number one Derby Party to go to. Cybill Shepherd was there and Jenny McCarthy, too. But the star last night was new celebrity and hometown boy Larry Birkhead, who actually met Anna Nicole at the same party four years ago. He is moving back here with the baby to be closer to his family.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Kid Rock is always here as well, but Pamela Anderson won’t come anymore because we eat chicken.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;So what are my plans for the day? Well, first of all I have to find someone to drink bourbon with. None of my &lt;st1:state&gt;&lt;st1:place&gt;Kentucky&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:state&gt; friends like bourbon. I would like to have one mint julep, in a &lt;st1:city&gt;&lt;st1:place&gt;Derby&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:city&gt; cup, as is proper. After all, the &lt;st1:city&gt;&lt;st1:place&gt;Derby&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:city&gt; is all about tradition.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;And speaking of tradition, there is another tradition to consider. I don’t bet on horses, and I never know the names of the horses that are running, so every year I make up my own horses and bet in my head. Here is this year’s roster.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;1. Does That Hurt?&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;2. Stephanie’s Boil&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;3. Licky Lou&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;4. No You Din’t&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;5. Paternity Test&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;6. It’s Just A Cold&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;7. Hamster Wheel&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;8. Clive and Jasmine&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;9. Maybe Later&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;10. My Chemical Horse-pants&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;11. Sneeze Guard&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;12. Not Here You Won’t&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;13. Judy’s Snickerdoodles&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;14. Pastalicious&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;15. Horse Brutality&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Now I would like to summarize my thesis. Although there are 20 horses in the real &lt;st1:city&gt;&lt;st1:place&gt;Derby, &lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:city&gt;I stopped  my list at 15. That is because my horse names are not real. The Derby In My Head can have as many or as few horses as I want, after all.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;In summary, this was a blog posting about the Kentucky Derby. Every year there are two Derbys: one real, one pretend. I leave it up to the reader to decide which is best.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30856574-4061659885653467259?l=gregorygarner.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://gregorygarner.blogspot.com/feeds/4061659885653467259/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=30856574&amp;postID=4061659885653467259' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30856574/posts/default/4061659885653467259'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30856574/posts/default/4061659885653467259'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://gregorygarner.blogspot.com/2007/05/derby.html' title='Derby!'/><author><name>Greg</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14363052093560548346</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='09060745558398459021'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30856574.post-8426520891519058732</id><published>2007-04-26T04:20:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2007-04-26T04:29:04.092-05:00</updated><title type='text'>And They're Off!</title><content type='html'>Hello Everyone! It's Derby in Louisville. It's a lot like Mardi Gras.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We will all be drunk for the next week and a half.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The best part is that I AM BEING PAID to host a bar at the Derby Festival. I get as many free drinks as I want.  My job is to be fun and entertaining and witty. I might be up to the task.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Plus, this weekend I am flying to Chicago for Joe's big 30.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And, Aaron arrives in Louisville on Saturday. He is moving here which is the best thing that has happened to me in a long time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's actually pretty amazing how Louisville just grinds to a halt because of Derby. Every job I've applied for, every contact, every group I volunteer with has said "We'll get back to you after Derby". And they mean it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, just remember. It's Derby in Louisville. Any phone call you get from Kentucky will be a drink-and-dial.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You have been warned.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30856574-8426520891519058732?l=gregorygarner.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://gregorygarner.blogspot.com/feeds/8426520891519058732/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=30856574&amp;postID=8426520891519058732' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30856574/posts/default/8426520891519058732'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30856574/posts/default/8426520891519058732'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://gregorygarner.blogspot.com/2007/04/and-theyre-off.html' title='And They&apos;re Off!'/><author><name>Greg</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14363052093560548346</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='09060745558398459021'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30856574.post-2267288219281513967</id><published>2007-04-24T23:29:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2007-04-24T23:31:44.826-05:00</updated><title type='text'>And  "Phantom Of The Paradise" Comes Up Again</title><content type='html'>Great Song.

Half of the US was still firmly Victorian, and the other half was all modern. Our house is a perfect example of the era. The outside is Victorian, the bathrooms are Victorian, but the floorplan is very 1920's modern. The neighborhood is more Victorian, so I imagine someone in 1920 built this house to be the envy of all of their neighbors, what with its modern amenities and such (indoor toilet, central heat, modern floorplan), but they weren't quite so confident as to build a true bungalow, or any sort of Frank Lloyd Wrightish modern nonsense.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So they built a comfortably familiar exterior, and even though they added indoor plumbing they installed  a clawfoot tub, which is still in the downstairs bathroom.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pretty fun.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From what I have read, this architectural style died out right after 1920.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And yes, we are going to put the railing back on the porch and the steps. And shutters on the windows. Sadly, someone put un-paintable vinyl siding on parts of the house, so painting a lovely wan 1920's color is impossible. So now we need input as to white/color schemes. I like white body/black trim or white body/green trim. David leans towards plums/reds/purples for trim.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please feel free to express an opinion!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_SHEYw07ZMkA/RhsAwuS4rrI/AAAAAAAAAUc/lW2qgHNenfQ/s1600-h/living06.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_SHEYw07ZMkA/RhsAwuS4rrI/AAAAAAAAAUc/lW2qgHNenfQ/s400/living06.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5051632244087107250" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_SHEYw07ZMkA/RhsAlOS4rqI/AAAAAAAAAUU/my2x8r1syIo/s1600-h/DutchColonial.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_SHEYw07ZMkA/RhsAlOS4rqI/AAAAAAAAAUU/my2x8r1syIo/s400/DutchColonial.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5051632046518611618" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_SHEYw07ZMkA/RhsAbOS4rpI/AAAAAAAAAUM/O-42U_NCXhY/s1600-h/1153000.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_SHEYw07ZMkA/RhsAbOS4rpI/AAAAAAAAAUM/O-42U_NCXhY/s400/1153000.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5051631874719919762" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_SHEYw07ZMkA/RhsAWOS4roI/AAAAAAAAAUE/MaVamnLehJE/s1600-h/826+Douglas+Final.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_SHEYw07ZMkA/RhsAWOS4roI/AAAAAAAAAUE/MaVamnLehJE/s400/826+Douglas+Final.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5051631788820573826" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_SHEYw07ZMkA/RhsAP-S4rnI/AAAAAAAAAT8/OuetmY-ldRU/s1600-h/02KiRedA.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_SHEYw07ZMkA/RhsAP-S4rnI/AAAAAAAAAT8/OuetmY-ldRU/s400/02KiRedA.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5051631681446391410" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30856574-2627157436146795950?l=gregorygarner.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://gregorygarner.blogspot.com/feeds/2627157436146795950/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=30856574&amp;postID=2627157436146795950' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30856574/posts/default/2627157436146795950'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30856574/posts/default/2627157436146795950'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://gregorygarner.blogspot.com/2007/04/blog-post.html' title='Some More Restored Houses That Are Similar To Ours'/><author><name>Greg</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14363052093560548346</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='09060745558398459021'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_SHEYw07ZMkA/RhsAwuS4rrI/AAAAAAAAAUc/lW2qgHNenfQ/s72-c/living06.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30856574.post-9016766507160144538</id><published>2007-04-08T07:31:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2007-04-08T07:41:34.341-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Our New House</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_SHEYw07ZMkA/Rhjgx9HEg3I/AAAAAAAAATs/O3jVyOvk4dE/s1600-h/1157949.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_SHEYw07ZMkA/Rhjgx9HEg3I/AAAAAAAAATs/O3jVyOvk4dE/s400/1157949.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5051034130918441842" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is our new house. Although it was built in 1920, architecturally it is part of the late Victorian "Dutch Colonial Revival" style. Note the really great columns. We are going to try to restore the exterior to its original colors and details. I've done some research and most of these houses were painted pale yellow or green, with dark contrasting trims. They also usually had a railing around the porch between the columns. Here is an example of a restored house from the same time period:&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_SHEYw07ZMkA/Rhjh_9HEg4I/AAAAAAAAAT0/0-neDc2zfIk/s1600-h/SilvainFront.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_SHEYw07ZMkA/Rhjh_9HEg4I/AAAAAAAAAT0/0-neDc2zfIk/s400/SilvainFront.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5051035470948238210" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;The new house is technically in Germantown, although it is only about a block away from Original Highlands.
