Kathy Griffin kicked my ass

Sitting outside the back entrance of the Paramount theater, I thought I was a sure thing. Surely a crip in wheelchair with a dog that helps her would get me at least an autograph. Being on "the no-list" myself, a sighting of a D-list celebrity would be a huge feather in my cap. Heck, maybe it would even have the power to cure me!

It was 8pm Friday night and the crowd was getting rowdy. Kathy Griffin was fashionably late, but we didn't care.

Then the rumble started. Here comes a black limo. It must be her!

Suddenly there she was, a vision in red hair and brown slacks. Here it comes, my brush with fame! I readied my pen and my dog.

"Miss Kathy, might I please have an autograph and a hug?", I groveled.

Next thing I knew, I was being pounded about the stomach and head. Fists were flying and they weren't mine. Kathy was going balistic.

Holy crap.


Ok, ok, all that never happened... but that's what I've felt like for the past 3 days!!

We went to see Kathy here in Austin at the Paramount theater. She was freakin' hilarious! I laughed so hard that by the end of the night all my makeup was gone, my sides had split and my legs were like rubber.

A good time was had by all... even Frankie enjoyed the show. He slept thru the whole thing!

Now, I gotta get the license plate of the limo that hit me!

Workers free dog trapped in sewer pipe

MANKATO, Minn. (AP) -- The sound of barking underneath a street Tuesday led a team of city workers to a dog trapped in a narrow culvert - and you might say they used a backward approach to rescue the mutt. The sickly, scared dog was about 50 feet from the nearest entry point, but since the culvert was just 15 inches in diameter, the workers couldn't fit into it themselves. Not even offers of food could draw out the dog. "He was exhausted," said Tony Talamantez, a public works foreman. Then Talamantez and his colleagues had an idea. They rigged up a long video camera used to inspect drain pipes, and approached the dog from the back. They used the camera to nugdge the dog forward until he reached an entry point big enough for a person to pull him out. The camera recorded the rescue, showing the dog scampering ahead in fits and starts as the camera pokes him in the rear end. The dog wore no tags, only a worn collar. But Julia Gosen, animal control officer for the city, said

Axe Me A Question

Go ahead and ask. Ask the questions you always wanted to ask someone in a wheelchair. Nothing is too embarrassing. You might as well ask me on this blog since you are somewhat anonymous and don't have to look me in the eye. What have you always wanted to ask someone in a wheelchair? Here, I'll start: Q: "Hi, my name is LaLaundria! I wanted to know how do you take a shower?" A: Well, LaLaundria, I sit down. On a shower chair. I have grab-bars installed in my shower/tub and my commode rooms to give me extra balance. A shower chair is a hard plastic chair made to fit in showers and tubs. I have a shower massage type shower head that helps get the water closer to my hair. Howze that? Ask away, no question is off limits! (Oh Jeez, what am I getting myself into!)

Here Doggie!

While shopping at Sprouts today, I had a guy in the next checkout lane actually whistle at Frankie. WHAT?! He whistled to him like he was calling the hounds back from the barn. Then he went to reach for him. I actually placed my hand on this guys chest and said: "He's not a ranch dog, you shouldn't be distracting him, he's working." Mr. Cowboy didn't even apologize... but he got schooled! Oy.
