The Healing Paw of Gary

November 12, 2008

GARY PITCHES IN: Leigh's a little under the weather the last couple days. And of course, with all the busy bee action at work with the catalog cage matches, I wanted to bring the little man in to the shop to back me up a bit. But I couldn't. Gary had a higher calling. There's just something about the healing power of a little hound at yer side, and I swear to ya, it's like he knows shit's a little messed up inside you. Cosmic, right? When Ewan wasn't feeling so hot a month back or so, Gary stayed right by his side the whole time.So yeah, add "Medic" to Gary's list of services. And Leigh, I swear to ya, when you are back to 95-97%, that dog is coming down to the shop. Get better. Now.- - - -ANOTHER AREA IN WHICH MCCAIN SCREWED THE POOCH: Obama had the Boss. McCain had Hank II. Did you see any of that footage of that windbag singing to the crowd about "Family Tradition" and all that shit? Man, he was doomed the first time he brought that dipshit out. The Boss out singing for Obama...man, so awesome. McCain never had a chance.- - - -BEST PART OF KANSAS CITY: Kansas' own Chris Murphy takes you on a tour through Kansas City's West Bottoms. Wow.

Check out how they made this Dutch 5 Gilder Euro piece, or whatever you call it. Man. (Sent in by the on and only Derek Schille, who asks, "I am having a baby in a few short weeks. How come the DDC doesn't have any baby merch?" Our reply is: "Our t-shirts can wipe any butt, small to large.")- - - -A COMPLETE ALPHABET, USING OLD "CAST OFF" NEON LETTERS: Jeremy Bert's "A to Z" show up at the Gather Gallery in Seattle.
