THE THOROUGH PIG

Bruce Kimmel Photograph bk's notes

Well, dear readers, I made a thorough pig of myself last night. As I mentioned yesterday, David Wechter and I were meeting a mutual friend for drinks at Casa Vega, a Mexican restaurant in the Oaks of Sherman. First off, I don’t know what the deal is with Casa Vega, but this fifty year old traditional Mexican restaurant, which has always been popular with a certain type of older crowd, has suddenly become the hip watering hole for trendy young adults. The joint is literally jammed every night, from five o’clock onwards. It is a pickup joint, and the noise level is excruciating, but not as excruciating as looking at the awful fashion sense of these nincompoops. Boys in jeans hanging down to their knees, with chains on their pants, spiky colored hair, pierced parts – girls in jeans so low they might as well be wearing nothing. I do not find it attractive to see someone’s butt crack staring me in the face. Pardon me for putting it so crassly, but it’s not nearly as crass as having to actually look at such a thing. And every single gal in the place had a tattoo above her ass. They think they are oozing sexuality (it’s really overt) but the only thing they are oozing is idiocy – it’s like little kids trying to ape their favorite celebrities in both dress and behavior. I’m not an old fuddy-duddy or even an old duddy-fuddy, really I’m not, but it’s really quite nauseating. In any case, we ended up getting a table and eating dinner – and I couldn’t stop myself. I ate tons of chips, then two tacos. I was so full I could barely get up afterwards. Isn’t that exciting? Isn’t that just too too?

Well, dear reader Craig did his best, but once again Mr. Mark Bakalor wasn’t there to help with a problem (these problems were supposed to be fixed and done with last week) so the Ray Courts photos don’t have a proper link in the Unseemly Photo Gallery, but they will as of Thursday morning. In the meantime, you can view the photos at the following link. I do hope you enjoy them. By the way (BTW, in Internet lingo), be sure to use the “next page” button at the top of the page so you can see all the photos on the following page. Also, the caption that says “DR Nick Redman and daughter Rebecca” should read “DR Nick Redman, daughter Rebecca with Joanie Sommers”.

Well, why don’t we all click on the Unseemly Button because frankly I am still so full I can barely type these here notes.

Have I mentioned that I made a thorough pig of myself last night? Today I shall have to be circumspect, food-wise, oh, yes, today I shall have to be circumspect.

Our very own Juliana had her opening night last night and she’s promised us we’ll have the complete skinny or, at the very least, the partial fat – we shall have the lowdown or the highup or whatever suits her fancy.

Well, dear readers, I must take the day, I must do the things I do, I must be on my merry way and I must be circumspect, food-wise on account of my having made a thorough pig of myself last night. Today’s topic of discussion: It’s normally Ask BK Day but since I won’t have time to answer your excellent questions, we will once again make it Ask Dear Reader Day, the day in which you ask other dear readers your excellent questions and they must answer posthaste by making haste with the posts. You can ask general questions or you can ask specific questions keyed to a specific dear reader. I’ll be checking in often, so if you have a question for me, ask away, and I’ll post the answer with haste.
