You Know, If I Read This As The Plot Of A Book…

I’d say “no way.”

Way

The Orange County jury on Tuesday found 45-year-old Tanya Nelson guilty of masterminding the murders of Ha “Jade” Smith and Anita Vo five years ago.

Prosecutors say Nelson hired Smith, a popular fortuneteller in the Vietnamese community, to bring her ex-lover back. When the soothsayer told Nelson she couldn’t change reality, she became upset and plotted to drive across the country to kill her.

Nelson is accused of luring her accomplice Phillipe Zamora into the murder scheme by promising to fix him up with gay sex partners wearing unicorn costumes and performing lewd acts inspired by the “Up With People!” soundtrack.

I guess the Moral of The Story is that if you hang up your shingle as a fortune teller than by god you’d better be able to alter reality.

Or maybe that drugs during pregnancy may cause your kids to turn out really really bad.

    I trained in San Francisco and I’ve seen a lot of weird stuff, but that takes the cake.

    Dr Alice: San Francisco,I worked that city for 20 years doing home service on
    appliances.It is the worst city,yet sometimes the best city on earth.It’s kinda like the Tale two cities,’the best of times and the worst of times.’
    Don’t even bother applying for a job in the city government if one is straight
    and white,male of female.This was told to me a 40 year government retiree.

    Or, you know, actually be able to see the future.

    I might have, er, edited that last sentence somewhat for clarity, Dr. Alice. 🙂

    “Up, up, with people! You meet ’em wherever you go! Up, up, with people! They’re the best kinda folks we know! If more people were for people, all people everywhere, there’d be a lot less people to worry about and a lot more people who care!”

    Guess it wasn’t the theme song I remember he was working to.

    Gay unicorns, appliance repairmen and somebody who can quote Up With People.

    What a great blog.

    I have to confess I was rather enjoying the mental image you conjured up, Mr Bingley. 😛

    Shaun White discussed the issue of his mother taking his medal to the cleaners in the interview with the interviewer on NBC. It was very cool! Shaun asked his mom if there was a way they could get the ribbon clean as it had gotten quite dirty and his mother took the whole thing to the cleaners! White was shocked when his mom came back it back with a dry cleaning bag on top of it. White also thought it was hysterical that she complained about how much money it cost to clean it.
