Carvin Jones (gimpified)
This shot is from a trip to Glendale last Sunday for the 27th annual Glendale Jazz & Blues Festival. Carvin, though born in Texas was raised here in the Phoenix area and has been called "the new Hendrix". For myself, its good enough that he can for a few moments at least, make you forget that you have once upon a time seen and heard Stevie Ray Vaughn and Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown. Texas blues is alive and kicking!!!

Cufasepe: a new word is proposed.
I would like to make a modest suggestion for improving the English language in advance of our forthcoming national debate on whether or not a Lesbian should be nominated to a position on the Supreme Court of the United States.
In recent years, the acronym GLBTG (Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Trans-Gender) has been put forward (or Out--if that is your preference) as a useful term to describe what I myself have always preferred to call "currently fashionable sexual perversions". The new word "cufasepe" is simply a useful contraction of what I think is the much more useful phrase, that I myself have always used.
Now, I think, that any lover of language should immediately recognize the inherent clumsiness of GLBTG and the possible contractions that could be derived from it, such as--Galebitrge, Glubtug, Glibtig, etc. Somehow, none of them quite work. And, of course, the current term doesn't take into account the probable future inclusion of other varieties of sexual perversion as they enter the pantheon of the fashionable and acceptable.
Cufasepe, on the other hand, could be immediately useful when and if the PETA folks gain such influence and credibility that cow-love, goat-love, turkey-love*, etc. become fashionable beyond Hollywood, California. And, indeed, all known varieties man-boy love, fence post-love, inflatable-doll love, baby-love, Rosie O'Donnell-love, seem to be on a path to achieve some degree of fashion and acceptability in the foreseeable future. So, why not take all of this into account and begin using my new word immediately.
Of course, it goes without saying, that if you are nice enough to use my new word and wish to thank me in some small way for my contribution all you need do is click on my adsense ads or buy something from Amazon via my humble little blog.
Thank you in advance.
