Further Ironies...

I noticed a couple of tasty ironies this morning as I was driving to the make-up store to buy foundation for my wife (I am fully bearded, incidentally; this wasn't even one of the ironies I was considering). There is an abortion clinic about 1/2 mile from my home. As I pulled up to where the customary protesters were, I had my windows down and was blasting 'Business Time' by Flight of the Conchords. It's about how Wednesday night is sex night for the couple in the song. I thought that was a bit ironic.
A little further down the road, there is a large building with several businesses in it. One of them is a Mellow Mushroom pizza house, something created by some college guys in Athens, and clearly a testament to both great pizza and serious marijuana use. Behind it is the Da Vinci Club, a gay owned and operated night club. Between them, prominently jutting out from the building are the words 'Actors, Models and Talent for Christ' in red neon. Together, they make a sublime slice of irony, one that can only be found just around the corner, perhaps past the last house in your neighborhood, in a little place we call 'the twilight zone'.

Still drinking Red. I just am.
