newsflash: engine on the ropes!!

i was told by an honest person, who is also the smartest and loveliest person i've ever known, that the last 3 entries in this blog weren't as--what was the word?--crackling? sparkling? funny? good? as the first ones, back in the old days, 3 weeks ago. now, before you get in a huff and start defending me by threatening the smart, lovely, honest and handsome person who told me this, (and don't try it, because this person is my favorite of all) i think that it's true. no, no, please...i do. i think somewhere in the juan de fuca straights i lost my gift. i thought this morning that i would retire the engine. it would remain a brilliant flash in the history of time. it would be like jane's addiction, or spacefood sticks, or that game with the yellow and orange or pink head that sprayed water everywhere that had something to do with a garden hose from when i was a kid. tiny engine would become THAT legendary. but instead, i decided to fight back. i will not let the engine wither into obscurity.

so here's my three-point plan: first, i will try to include nudity as much as possible. secondly, i will discuss food, which seems to make people either laugh or want to eat, both of which are good for me, and my third idea is that i will include jokes.

ok, first today's joke:
what did the boy octopus say to the girl octopus?
i want to hold your hand hand hand hand hand hand hand hand.

wasn't that fun? now for the food aspect: aspic!

now for the nudity: what the heck do you think?? you think we're really going to put nudity on here. get out of here.
