Musing about Peggy

Even when I was a teenager I knew I would make an excellent blogger someday. My thoughts are fluid and endlessly engaging, and I am absolutely tireless in my sharing of them. Well, now there's good news: I'm starting a blog on one of my websites, deliciouscity.com. As a teaser, I'll show off some of my blogging skills below, including one "satirical" item. See if you can spot it.

A friend made fun of me recently when I said Peggy Hill - of television'sKing of the Hill fame? - was "hot." But I defend my assessment. Surely she is hotter than Marge Simpson, for example. After 18 years, Large Marge has gotten old; or it is possible that the person who draws her has gotten old. At any rate, her outline is no longer crisp; her color has faded. Or it is possible my television has gotten old. But that is all moot. Peggy Hill gets my vote. Tune in and see if you agree.

Just think how much you could save on your Geico car insurance if they stopped advertising on TV and sunk those millions into lowering your premiums. And another thing: although using a real gecko instead of that Cockney special-effects one would raise animal-cruelty concerns, surely they could save millions of dollars yearly by using a clay-mation gecko who speaks with a lower-priced accent, like Cajun or South Boston.

The writer of the horse bestiality thriller Zoo, Charles Mudede (pronounced MOO-dad-dy), is now working on a sequel: Aquarium: Rise of the Blue Whale. It's a documentary exploring the human side of a Japanese billionaire whose 2003 attempts to have sexual congress with the world's largest mammal led to nothing but problems until he decided to take the more dominant role in the exchange, and disappeared.
