Wasn't Wonder Woman's plane transparent?

Of course.

Didn't catch on right away.

It vanished.

I'm learning new words like crazy. I just now learned a French word, "garrique."

It sound a bit like garage.

It is a Mediterranean plant community found on limestone soils generally near the seacoast with annual summer drought. The word also used in haute cuisine suggesting resinous flavors of a garrigue shrubland.

And I immediately thought of Red Rocks Park where my dog used to like to go exploring sniffing all around. Plants grow in micro valleys opposite the road where our secondary hanggliding slope is (was) when the prevailing wind was in the wrong direction for our primary slope. These were the training slopes.

For you see, training slopes in Colorado are harsh and unforgiving. When you crash, eh, it happens, you risk hitting rocks and cactus and yucca and other harmful natural elements. It is unlike the inviting verdant gently sloping undulating hills of Tennessee where a hard landing is like jumping on a bed and alighting upon a a pile of pillows. Garrigue. Alternately I could associate the new word with Garry-gay because that's how it sounds.

Want to hear something nice?

Okay, goes like this:

Today I woke up from a dream about an adventure with my older brother. I nearly died in the dream and he took off ahead of me on a bamboo bicycle.

Bastard.

There was a knock on the door so I answered it in my underwear.

I figure I look kind of hot in my boxer-briefs so what the heck. That's what you get for knocking before I am dressed.

It was Olga, a Mexican national woman who speaks to me in Spanish. She handed me a bundle wrapped in tinfoil. It was cold. Eager to depart for as I said, I was mostly naked, she uttered the single word, "Tamales," then hastened away.

As you know, tamales are a Christmas thing. It is a family activity where they make hundreds at a time and freeze them. Olga likes me because of things like this.

So now I must make some tamale sauce out of those dry red chiles. I already have several packages of different types so I can do it any time.

Now, isn't that thoughtful?

You don't expect them to tell us that 5% GDP was a hoax, do you?

Al a ka ZAM! And the plan disappears, just like that. CNN has teh powers.

BREAKING!! CNN's crack search team makes a discovery!

Mmm...tamales. I buy then at a tamale truck near church. A guy sells them at the window and an older woman makes them in the truck, where I can watch her work.

Muy authentico. Although I suppose a day will come when I run into them in Costco where they are buying the thousand-pack of frozen tamales. But until then, I'll enjoy the pleasure of tamales made by someone's grandma.

The slowest news time of the year is the Holiday season. CNN executives all got boners when that plane went down 2 days after Christmas, just like they did w/ the tsunami several years ago. It's gold!

CNN: Disaster/conspiracy porn
MSNBC: Progressive narrative porn
Alphabet soup news: Obama, Other Democrats, and puppies!
Local news: Traffic, weather, school closures, the weekly featured murder, and puppies!

I just laugh when people make fun of Fox News. Because what is the alternative?

I think it was Chris Rock who had the funny bit about how female superheroes have stupid outfits and shitty gadgets. Wonder Woman had a see-through airplane (why?) and a truth lasso so when she caught a bad guy he would be compelled to tell the truth. Oddly, however, the bad guys never said "nice tits."

That's because she never captured Titus.
