This weekend, Houston will have runoff elections to select a new mayor for the city. Lee Brown is out *wild cheer from the crowd* and either Bill White or Orlando Sanchez will be in. Of course there are commercials running this time around, but they are trying to court the voters that voted for Sylvester Turner in the November elections, so they have been pretty low key. I’ve been really bummed and upset that I haven’t seen the one with Orlando Sanchez glowing like Jesus on Easter morning. Fortunately, I was able to snap the above photo of it off the Tivo to preserve a memory. See how everyone around him, no matter what their race is, is dim in comparision to him.

Really, does anyone else have a glow like that? Barbara Walters gets to have that lovely soft filter effect when she’s on TV, and Orlando? He gets the Orlando Glow…

A few weeks ago I came across a CD for sale at the local Half Price Books. It was “The Best of Disco” and it was full of 21 wonderful disco hits. 21 of the best sounds of the era. It is awesome, and I love it.

So last Sunday night, I finally decide to listen to it. I was still sick as a dog, but somewhere between “That’s the way … uh huh uh huh … I like it” and “Play That Funky Music,” I got the brilliant idea to get down and get funky. I just could not help but dance. I was the Dancing Queen …

And the next day? I was in agony. Matter of fact, for the next three or four days, I could barely use my left leg. I looked like I was dragging a stump along behind me as I walked. At first I could not figure out for the life of me what I had done. “Oh, I must have just slept funny last night” was the answer I gave all of my co-workers.

On Tuesday I listened to the CD again, and it became obvious what I had done. I had a Disco Injury. The shame! The horror! At first I decided I wasn’t going to tell anyone. But I had to – I mean, come on. Who injuries themself doing the stylin’ John Travolta moves? Only I could manage to do that.

I am the Dancing Queen, and that’s the way … uh huh uh huh … I like it …

Sometimes it’s the little things that amuse me the most. Want to have be a part of a Deep Impact? Then Send Your Name to a Comet! Fill out the form with your name, and NASA will add it to the impactor spacecraft that will collide with Tempel 1. How cool is that? [via Theresa]

Looking for the perfect gift for that special someone in your life? Maybe your former boss, or your ex-husband? Pick up a kit at Subversive Cross Stitch and share with them the love that you feel! I know I’ve got my eye on that “Go Fuck Yourself” kit for that special someone in my life!

In case you ever wondered about all that spam that you receive (I promise, *I* did NOT send it to you!), this guy has created a blog to track his testing to find out the answer to the ultimate question … Do Penis Enlargement Pills Work?

I’m laughing so hard I’ve got tears in my eyes…
