The Endangered Blonde [Dan Collins]

If you’re going to watch the Miss Universe Pageant tomorrow, and you’re a fan of blondes, you’ll have to choose between Miss Netherlands and Miss Croatia. I’m not sure I vetted them all, but I did a reasonable amount of research. Because I’m a giver.

    Good to hear that Cheney’s heart is ticking along normally. Not sure what that has to do with the Miss Universe Pageant, but good news all the same.

    Thanks, guys. Should be fixed.

    Thanks Dan. V.P. Cheney may or may not be an Evil Overlord, depending on your politics. But we can all come together on this one fact: He is no Miss Universe.

    Misses Albania, Belgium, New Zealand, and Slovenia would quibble with your count.

    That’s not the Viet Nam that I knew.

    Albania’s blonde, you’re right. Belgium and New Zealand are “dirty blondes,” I guess. Slovenia looks gingery to me.

    - Slovenia usually just sends Boracks cousin that works at the butcher shop in Minsk.

    oh see, I noticed Albania was blonde. but also kinda ugly, so I figured Dan just mentioned the two because they were the only ones who have a chance.

    “Albanias terrain is mostly mountainous..

    - Gravitational effects are somewhat reduced at altitude.

    Emcee: “So then for your question Miss Albania…..What would you do to end World hunger?”

    Miss Albania: “Well the problem is you see, they don’t have….you have to teach more about geography, and then…Ahh….maps, you need to teach more geography in the schools and yes….give them more maps…”

    Emcee: “Err….I think that was last years question Miss……hunger…..this one is asking about world hunger…”

    Miss Albania: “Ohhh…. Borscht!!!”

    Geez, if you can’t depend on Miss Australia to be a hot blond Beachcomber-type, what can you depend on?

    USA’s national costume is a snowflake?

    Gingery, huh? Firecracker blonde, I’d say.

    That Miss Denmark would be a blonde? Oh, guess not this year. She’s certainly very lovely, even if Miss Egypt looks more like she would be from Denmark.

    Ms. Katzen, the other three photos of Miss Albania are certainly not very good. Ugly, however, she is not. It might be interesting to note that there are (at least) two ethnic Albanians in the pageant, since Kosovo is also represented. Capably, I might add.

    The picture of Miss Dominican Republic with her had stuck on one side of her head is pretty seriously funny.
    What do girls like Miss India and Miss Indonesia do during the swimsuit competition? Are they allowed to wear a sarong?

    What do girls like Miss India and Miss Indonesia do during the swimsuit competition?

    Why? Do you think they have some kind of religious prohibition?

  26. Comment by Spies, Brigands, and Pirates on 7/13 @ 9:00 am #

    Miss Indonesia.

    Miss India.

    Put me down for Miss Jamaica, though.

  27. Comment by Spies, Brigands, and Pirates on 7/13 @ 9:01 am #

    Hmm… the link for Miss Indonesia didn’t come through, but clicking Next on the Miss India page will bring it up.

    Who won ?

    “Ms. Katzen, the other three photos of Miss Albania are certainly not very good. Ugly, however, she is not.”

    If your usual standards are kinda cute in a last call kind of way (if you know what I mean and I think you do), I think I can live with Miss Albania.

    Miss Netherlands’ last name is Labee.

    Heh heh heh. They said “Labee.”

    Some years ago, I swore off the angry, man-hating American woman. I’m on with South African women mostly, so I feel a bit guilty rooting for Miss Czech Republic. Although, Spies, Brigands, and Pirates has me questioning myself over Miss India.

    I love American women. There just aren’t enough of them anymore. There are female United States citizens, yes. But not a lot of American women.

    Too bad the website didn’t have a “match a snatch” link ala Gallery Magazine!
