Brief update from a traveling man
There are dead pigeons in the carport, I’ve so far given $15 to homeless
people, the blackened mahi-mahi punished my stomach-stomach, this city-sized hotel’s elevators are slow as hell and there’s no Comedy Central on the cable.
Atlanta sucks.
That is all.
(Please note: this is written prior to my trip to the WORLD OF COCA-COLA! which may turn this whole trip around.)

And what complete tard walks around wearing a CNN souvenir T-shirt?!
GAH!

That is a huge hotel. Whoah.

You can’t blame your homeless people-suckerness on the city of Atlanta!
Also, have you run into any of Atlanta’s numerous sushi bar drag queen pagents?

No I HAVEN’T, and after you raised my hopes!

Isn’t Atlanta the home of “TBS”? Are you telling us you’re not interested in watching another midnight “Pauly Shore-a-thon”? What experience can’t be made better from three consecutive viewings of “Encino Man”?

One bit of advice from someone who’s been there… Don’t fall for the delicious smell of the hot dogs at the Atlanta airport. Especially before getting on a plane. You think the blackened Mahi mahi punished your stomach? You have no idea….

What are you supposed to eat in Atlanta? Isn’t it just fried butter sandwiches and grits, or something?

Also: Encino Man is a great fucking movie.

Oddly enough, I did find myself watching “Journey to the Center of the Earth” on HBO late Sunday night. So I got my Brendan Frazer fill.
(And it was slight, but amusing enough, and probably looked really neat-o in the theaters.)
The only really pleasant part of the trip was Ted Turner’s burger restaurant, where I ate a really delicious bison burger on – yes – buttered, toasted roll.
So, sadly, Ted Turner saved my trip. As he has saved Atlanta itself on countless occasions.
Wait, no, I’m thinking AtlanTIS. And I’m thinking Aquaman.
