Angels and Others

While Domo-Kun is a very urban monster he can,on occasion be talked into leaving the city. This is the story of one of those times. Domo's first stop was in the scenic and very white town of Mystic,CT Here we see Domo in Mystic Village where the pond is fake but the ducks are real . Domo was very happy to discover that Pippin was playing at the Goodspeed Opera House. Nothing makes him happier than regional productions of Bob Fosse musicals except... Indian Casino gambling at Mohegan Sun! While Domo loves the slots even he has his limits. Maybe tomorrow he'll do something more wholesome like....

like a visit to the county fair. Maybe not. Sheep scare domo. Check back soon for Part 2 :The Berkshires

We came across this Smirnoff ad and we love it's not so subtle double meaning. The best part? It's from 1964.

why do you ask?

This is Bucky. Bucky was a happy go lucky little pug without a care in the world but one day his owners thought it would be cute to dress him up like a character from a Sci-Fi movie. As happens so often in these situations pictures of this "cuteness" have turned up on the internet. Bucky is now a humiliated,depressed and suicidal little dog. We here at speckworld beg you...Please don't dress your animals up for Halloween or any other reason. It isn't cute...It's stupid. If you won't do it for us, in the name of god, do it for Bucky. Thanks to our west coast associate Keven for bringing this disturbing story to our attention.

Last week, marginally legendary drag queen Flotilla DeBarge got involved in a scrap with two patrons at the Meatpacking District's Apt., which is desperately referred to as "a West Village club" in said article. Witnesses claim DeBarge didn't start the fight, but she finished it with interest, trouncing the offending seat-grabbing man and his date with her high-heeled shoes. DeBarge -- perhaps most widely known for impersonating Star Jones on an anti-fur PETA calendar -- reportedly spent the week at Rikers, but may have been released on bail by Friday. She joins Suzetta as another vintage-era Meatpacking habitué now finding the neighborhood less than commodious. Join Mickey Rourke in boycotting! UPDATE: A tipster tells us that DeBarge did her time at the Tombs (not Rikers), but more importantly, her bail was arranged by none other than Florent Morellet of Florent fame. Neighborhood gals got to stick together. Flotilla DeBarge Held in Assault [Gay City News vi...

Is it just us or does this little boy from a 1950's Van Camp's ad look like Satan's spawn?

Domo at LAX preparing to board his flight to The Rose City Domo always obeys in-flight rules... ... even though his lack of a lap makes it difficult at times. A nervous flier, Domo doubts that his seat cushion will be of much help in the event of a "water landing." Safe and sound in the Beaver State. The "Rose City" has much to offer so let's hit the street. Domo doesn't much like Republican views but likes Republicans... especially when grilled and served with butter.

Being Japanese himself Domo had to check out Portland's famous gardens. The pagoda makes Domo miss Kyoto just a little... but the zen garden chills him out. Does a Domo have Buddha nature? The view of Mt. Hood from the pavilion impresses even Domo.

Even though nature frightens him Domo is glad he went to Multnomah Falls. But he still has trouble saying Multnomah. The falls are high and wet which Domo thinks is very apt. While he thinks that the falls are very beautiful the sound of all that running water makes him... hungry. Rimsky's is funky and has great pie. Domo loves pie. Domo thought the waiter was creepy and probably on something. As he returns home Domo will remember Portland fondly and he wants to thank his hosts Lori and Brenda for being so kind. And he thinks that speck is a putz for not taking a picture of them for the blog.
