Big News About Gar!

Gar’s got a girlfriend! Well, maybe not a girlfriend yet, but at least a romantic interest. Her name is Eleanor Galore. He was out somewhere or other, and he said he saw her and it was like just immediate. Even though he’s shy like Roy Noyes, and normally would never do this, he just went up to her and said “I’m Gar Arbuckle.” And she said “I’m Eleanor Galore.” And he said it was like something just clicked between them…some kind of chemistry.

Vulva and I met her, but just briefly. And it turns out she’s related to someone famous. Her great, great aunt is Pussy Galore, who was a brief but ill-fated love interest of James Bond in the movie Goldfinger (ill-fated because she was a lesbian). And this is interesting too. It turns out “Pussy” was not her real name – her real name was Ethel Galore, but people back then thought the name Pussy Galore had more pizzazz than Ethel Galore. Eleanor said that she hardly ever sees her anymore, but when she does, she just calls her Aunt Ethel.

Welcome Eleanor Galore!

Time for Our Duncan Funk Song of the Day. There’s so many fine songs out there, and this is one of them. And the video’s really good too. That woman has about the most impressive rack I’ve ever seen! (But it’s a different kind of rack, so it’s not dirty – you just have to watch the video, which you can do by clicking on the title.)
