Burnett's Urban Etiquette

Write off

That's what I'm doing to this day, in terms of blogging: writing it off.

I'm on deadline, trying to finish an article for tomorrow's paper, so I don't have any wit or wisdom to offer.

I can give you my most recent, Q&A column. Some of you know that Unbuttoned with James Burnett runs Mondays in the Miami Herald. I find personalities - some famous, some not, all quirky - around South Florida, and I grill 'em. Anyway, here is the one from this Monday.

Enjoy. I'll try to do a regular post this evening.

  • I rode the bull once. I didn't undress though. I think I need more alcohol for that.

  • I thought for sure you'd have something about the Jenna Six "movement."

    If the movement were successful, I wonder what kind of statue would appear on the Mall 50 years from now. Six guys beating another ethnically/racially different guy? I wonder what kind of materials they would use. Would there also be a fountain?

    Hmmm....

  • Oh, James Burnett, my timing is impeccible. That word always makes me think of "peccadilos" but I don't know what that one means.

    Anyhoo, thanks for dropping in--I have missed you dearly, along with mental clarity and the raspberry-strawberry Skittles that they stopped making for no good reason.

    I'll be around soon.

  • Great interview...I just have a lingering question: I wonder if good bull riders make better lovers?

    I guess I got distracted with all that talk about the more "risque" riders...

    And as a sidenote? There's a lot of peer pressure involved in the ladies' room. If you leave the stall and don't at least PRETEND to approach the sink and do a hand-wash - you are looked upon with disdain by other ladies. Looks that say, "OMG...and can you believe she is allowed to raise CHILDREN with those hands?"

  • Never let it be said that blogging is not educational! Well, for me it is anyway. Look what I've learned from reading your post here today. I never knew there were special jobs for people to "tend the mechanical bull." Amazing! It was a darned interesting piece, James. (And thanks for stopping by my blog the other day too and your comments. 'Preciate that!

  • ahhh, deadlines. I used to imagine that I laughed at them. Then someone went and tied my paycheck a time schedule...
