Wedding of the Sideshow Century.

On Valentine's Day, the Amazin' Blazin' Tyler Fyre married Thrill Kill Jill Fisher in Las Vegas, NV.

Zamora, the Torture King, was the best man.

You can watch the wedding here. It is performed by Elvis. You need Real Player to view it.

Come to the show!

Let me just establish how cool I truly am up front. I am going to shamelessly name drop here.

I am REALLY good friends with Jeff "Heavy Metal Parking Lot" Krulik. He even made a movie called "Shocked and Amazed" but that is another story entirely.

Now that you are all impressed by my starstudded sparkle-filled life I will tell you how you can be just like me.

You can go see Jeff's new movie The Legend of Merv Conn
which is playing a hold-over engagement on Sunday at the American Film Institute Silver Theatre in Silver Spring Maryland.

See where it says "Sellout! Crowds Turned Away!" on his intro page? That would be me last weekend. DENIED! However, this weekend I have planned ahead. I have already bought tickets for this weekend.

Because Jeff and I are such close personal friends and all.

I just hope there is another 21 accordian salute!

Oh, and after the show you should go to this pirate bar down the street. I love pirates. And accordians. Really, Sunday is shaping up to be one of the most perfect days ever.

Really Big Squid

Best line of the article?

"One expert said calamari rings made from it would be like tractor tyres." I know some folks who claim that all calamari is like eating a tire.

China is crazy, cool and carnivorous!

A little girl was eaten by a tiger at a Chinese zoo.

She was having her picture taken with the full-grown tiger at the time.

That may seem strange to you, but whilst in China my hubby and I participated in some sort of demonstration where we had to lie on the ground in front of a whole lot of people and a bunch of elephants.

Then, it was explained to us later because we speak no Chinese, the elephants would demonstrate the difference between girls and boys. It proceeded to tap on my chest, and then my stomach with it's big elephant foot. An elephant may be tapping, but it still hurts like hell. I got off lucky.

The elephant did pretty much the same thing to the hubby. The exception being that is was basically stepping on his, ahem, jewels. Then the elephant proceeded to beat him about the head with it's trunk.

The crowd thought it was hilarious. Moreso because we had no idea what was going on. We don't speak Chinese. Evidently that was part of the humor, too.

Oh, wait then there was the time...not to far from where this tiger ate the girl...when the hubby decided to have his picture taken with a "trained" monkey. It was a little kind of monkey like a capuchin or something similar. That monkey freaked out and attacked the hubby and the "trainer" had to beat it off of my husbands head where it was trying to rip off his ears. Nice.

Of course, nothing beats the safari park where they take you on a bus into a tiger enclosure. The windows on the bus only open up about 6 inches. Why?

Because for about $5 you can buy a live chicken from a pen on the bus floor. Then you shove the squawking chicken out of the window to feed the tigers. Of couse, the tigers know what is going on...so when the bus stops they jump on top of it and try and ram their paws into the bus windows to get whatever they can to eat. Chicken. Little girls.

They aren' t too picky those tigers.

Ah, China. Where "survival of the fittest" is actually some sort of tourist destination.

How bad are these clowns?

Everybody knows I'm not the world's biggest clown fan. But, sheesh, I've never seen a clown so bad I've had to shoot them dead during a performance.
