Yesterday, Ursen saw three dogs humping each other simultaneously, no less, and proclaimed (I don’t know how he comes up with this shit): “Look — they’re stacking”
Stacking!

Perhaps you’ve noticed some hand-wringing about gas prices lately. The panic apparently has not taken hold in southern California. Every third vehicle on I-8 east of San Diego last week was a pickup with a pair of dirtbikes in the back; every pocket of private property within Anza-Borrego Desert State Park was filled with giant RVs; and I-10 had thousands of pickups towing custom fifth-wheel trailers with ramps for ATVs or dirtbikes. I should confess I drove 1000 miles to chase lizards and add a few birds to my life list. I did conserve fuel by bringing a camp stove with a broken fuel pump - please nominate me for Sierra Club Man of the Year! I made better time on I-5 than a pair of Lamborghini Diablos that passed me in LA only to be held up by their frequent stops for gas - ha!
The media hype doesn’t stop at the gas pump: there’s an immigration controversy on, and since W’s coming out to SoCal to talk about it, the Border Patrol had dozens of half-assed checkpoints set up - a bunch of klieg lights, a paddy wagon, and a couple of bored Patrol agents lounging around drinking stale coffee in their Chevy Tahoe, not even looking at cars going by. We’re talking about $82 an hour in salary and $49 a day for equipment to have two guys loaf around eastern San Diego County. But massaging Kevin Tebedo’s ego - pricelss. I did not see any of the Minutemen clowns, so I guess Denny’s musta had a special on Skillet Breakfasts or something. Speaking of the Minutemen, why did a bunch of racist mustache farmers have to name themselves after my favorite band - couldn’t they have picked a mediocre band, like Social Distortion?
Other moments of subcultural snobbery from my San Diego trip: a hand-painted sign in Kern County offering "Internets," for sale; a racing boat tastefully emblazoned with the name "Trim Troller"; and a breakfast recommendation from a hotel clerk who started out sounding straight and progressed to full-blown mincing as he enthused about trying corned beef hash all over the country. If you’re the morning clerk from the Days Inn in San Clemente, you were right about the home fries at the Sunrise Cafe.

Xeni at BoingBoing blogged about Johann Rousselot’s amazing photos of New Life + Embassy of God in Ukraine.
An interesting footnote: Mr. Rousselot also shot a few pics of our exhibitionist friend The Church Whipper while he was here in Colorado Springs documenting our native customs. Here’s a gorgeous one he took when he came along on this photoshoot:

We actually made these Websieete t-shirts a couple weeks ago (before I even knew that punkass bitch Sean Bonner existed!) for a new news/blog site called the highplainsmessenger.com here in Colorado Springs before we opened this week as promo, but you can buy one, if you must, by paypalling $15.00 to darksandal@hotmail.com. Be sure to specify s,m,l, or xl. All proceeds will go to benefit the new site (still beta), which was built entirely with Movable Type and has some cool features like MT Forums that Mark Carey built for us.

Jesus Christ, son of God hosted a guest round on himself this week at my quiz up in Denver. Details here.
Included in his questions were: Who was born first: Me or Muhammad?
He also had a lot of good punch lines and random riffing. "Can Jesus get a beer?"
This week we’ve got Frank Kelly Rich of Modern Drunkard doing a round on all things alcoholic. Winning team gets a trophy and a signed copy of The Modern Drunkard book. Read more about it here.

Boing Boing posted a cheeky piece about the Blog gang sign that we put up about a month ago. Apparently we, gasp, didn’t invent it, but actually stole it from a guy named Sean Bonner. While I will admit that Sean Bonner came up with it first as the date on his post clearly indicates, I didn’t steal it, though I certainly would have had I seen it. It’s just a little case of zeitgeist is all, m’kay? Despite all the elbow-elbow-isn’t-it-ironic-that-we’re-accusing-you-of-stealing-a-blog-gang-sign jocularity, some parties involved seem to be genuinely chapped that I didn’t credit him for something I didn’t know had already been so clearly stamped with the blogosphere intellectual property seal of approval. But now you can rest assured that Sean Bonner has been duly credited. We hope he and all of you who gangblog will profit as greatly from this invention as we have. And if I ever see you on my blog again, I’m a put a trackback in your ass. (p.s. please send me one of those t-shirts to: The TP, PO Box 60144, Colorado Springs, CO 80960, thanks)

If you’re wondering why we haven’t been blogging much, it’s because we’ve been working on the new High Plains Messenger site. Be sure to check out the excellent Dating Doug Bruce piece
As many of you may already know, we’re closing down the print edition after the next issue, which is set to come out on Friday and Saturday. But we’ll continue to publish and blog here at toiletpaperonline.com

From the Miami Herald:
The Florida Gay Rodeo Association is hosting the state’s first gay
rodeo this weekend in Davie with festivities, including rodeo
competitions and concerts.
However, there’s no mention of Gay Rodeo Clowns.
