this image is so sad, it's like alaska is the ugly ducking and tryna fit in but you can just see its feathers are not as white as the other ducks, plus it's morbidly obese and has pimples AND a unibrow

OTM!!!!

it didn't mean to but it sat in two of the great lakes and now michigan, illinois and wisconsin won't speak to alaska anymore

i feel like an alaska trip is in my near future-- alaskan airlines does pretty affordable nonstops to honolulu now, also i recently met a girl who lives there but she has a boyfriend at the moment etc

Hmmm, that looks familiar...

Seriously... whoa... mind is blown, that is fantastic

I got chills just reading that, the photos are incredible too. Stunning.

p.s. sorry for thread squatting abbott!

livin the dream

We used to have this right-wing shock jock named J. Paul Emerson who was my radio station network's plan to be the next Rush Limbaugh. Oh, how he was going to be famous. The fact that he pissed off San Francisco only made him more appealing to the owners of my radio station.

Once he got started, he was on just our station in Little Rock. I guess the plan was for him to gather steam and multiply his affiliates from there. Thing was, he didn't live in Little Rock. I'm not even sure if he had ever even been to Little Rock. He did his show remotely through an ISDN connection from, what I was told, a little tourist hut somewhere on the grounds of Carlsbad Caverns, his mama at his side.

He'd talk about drinking hot water. He'd "hit" himself with a 2x4 named Irma. First day on the air, he told a caller to go fuck himself. He was a real "character" who brought the loons out of the woodwork, the ones who believed that since the Ozark National Forest had been federalized, it was only a matter of time before the U.N. would take over their property.

Funniest parts was when he'd try to act like he was in Little Rock. He never gave away the fact that he was in New Mexico, a time zone behind everyone. But he'd say it was ten when it was really eleven. Pronounce the "h" in Markham Street. Say it was a wonderfully sunny day when it was raining.

He was eventually let go, having never gained another affiliate on our radio network. Sometime in the mid 00s, they found him dead in his trailer, where he had been for some time. But anytime now I hear mention of Carlsbad Caverns, I automatically think of American tourists, cameras around their necks, milling about some pebble-paved walkway under an enchanting blue sky while inside a building resembling a WPA restroom, an angry fat man with a long beard shouts spittle into a microphone to another state 1000 miles away.

haha beautiful final sentence. i will look out for his resting place.

I went to Carlsbad Caverns 19 years ago. Let me know if they've updated the sad cafeteria 230m below ground.

would spelunk.

Dear Abbott,

What's it like playing keyboards for the Dandy Warhols?

Your Pal, Foot-Foot

Dear Abbott,

I saw you on the Chinese Mother thread and I haven't seen you since you left (xcept for the pic w/ Stevie D) and it's my birthday and seeing you post makes it EVEN BETTER!

Dear Abbott,

My sports team has been dysfunctional and pathetic this entire season and shows no signs of improvement. The owner acts like a dickhead. The front office is in disarray and the job of general manager has been turned down by at least six people, who clearly see the job as poisoned.

Should I stick by my team? Should I jump aboard a different team or even a team in a different sport? Should I become unafilliated? I need your advice.

Sincerely yrs.

Pummelled in Portland

Dear Mr. Plains,

Holy lol thank you.

Dear PMLD in PDX,
Why the shit are you playing sports???
Slothfully,
Abbott "Who's on Worst" M.

Dear Mr. Plains,

Holy lol thank you.

I like the priest's sad and perplexed face.

Dear Abbott,

Would it upset you to know that yr recent vocal hatred of fruit punch reminded me of how much I love fruit punch and inspired me to purchase a gallon of Hawaiian Punch and it is so so tasty and also I love you?

Dear Steves,
What happened to the orange juice fiend I know and love? I still love ya back even if you're drinking neon red bullshit.
Abbster

neon red bullshit is a hilarious turn of phrase

how is teach coming? are you certified now?

Yeah, got my cert on Tuesday (provisional 2 year one, in AZ you have to pass a test on the Arizona state and U.S. constitutions to get off provisional, which I plan on doing next summer when I have a goddamn moment to breathe). Gonna teach four weeks of summer school starting Tuesday; got a job lined up teaching seventh grade in the Fall; gonna keep collaborating on curriculum/plans w/my superstar mentor teacher; feel nervous/confident/stoked.

My boyfriend makes fun of me when I drink OJ bcz I always chug it like I haven't had water for days. I do this every time I drink OJ regardless of how thirsty I am; I am simply unable to sip it like a normal beverage. Also he doesn't let me drink his OJ as often anymore.

Hey Abbott - do you know about Mormon mommy bloggers? I read a lot of blogs and over the past couple months have sort of come to realize that at least a large handful of them are young Mormon moms. A friend and I were talking about a couple of these bloggers the other day (she reads them too though I didn't know that until just recently) and I was like, "Hey Kate, why are they all Mormon?". She hadn't actually realized they were and so I started to get curious. I also remembered you comment about the number of LDS ladies on Pinterest.

I am bored at work today and did some goggling and found this:

http://www.salon.com/2011/01/15/feminist_obsessed_with_mormon_blogs/

A lot of what the author finds appealing about the Mormon blogs is what I think draws me to them too.

Anyway, I was just wondering if you knew about all this and, if so, what you think about it.

Brb, gonna go read about how to make the best cupcakes in the world!
