The Curmudgeon bows out..

[The Curmudgeon]

For two weeks.

Yes, with the spookily timed news that Disney have now bought out Marvel, The Curmudgeon is going to Florida tomorrow. So it's just possible that I may well be sick of looking at pictures of THIS



by then. But, siiiiiigh, I doubt it.

So you know the drill by now. I may well try and pop my head round the door if they've got net access at the hotel and I'm not spinning round and round and going upside down on huge mechanical beasts, but, well - you know your way around the place by now.

So, make yourself at home (for, of course, it is), help yourself to drinks and, you know, don't make a mess.

Laters.

Fear not, citizens - The Curmudgeon has returned. A bit tanned, a bit ill (I think I caught something on the plane) and a big bit jet lagged (it's 5:20 am right now, I went to bed at 2).

Anyway, God DAMN Flordia rules. You American's just do everything so much bigger and better than anything in the UK. The employees in Disney World etc must pop about 50 happy pills a day, there's no way I could be so motivated in a job like that.

And, oddly enough, Hannah Montana wasn't as dominating a presence as I thought she'd be, although there is a frightening amount of merchandise with her face on it. And Mrs C refused to even think of buying a Hannah Montana wig. Boooo.

Anyway, I'm back. So what'd I miss?

Welcome back! I hear often that Florida is an awful place. I've never believed it, though even if it gave us Fred Durst. Here's a rundown: Rampage Jackson is Mr. T now, Rob Zombie is remaking The Blob, grown men who obsess about Hannah Montana are still closely monitored, Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 is a bit of a letdown, Kanye West doesn't care about white people, Congressional Republicans are shouting "YOU LIE!" at our president when he gives speeches now, and FOX News held a special event in my area called "The Valley That Hope Forgot" -which sounds like a 50's sci-fi flick with stop-motion dinosaurs or something- that was all about how it's Obama's fault we're having a drought and made my fellow Central Californians look like the Okiest bunch of hicks you ever saw. Good times.

Trashy, I'm surprised you're not in prison for taking a machine gun to these morons. How do you put up with that shit?

Internet rants help.
