What we won't be offering this Christmas season I was looking at one of those "gift" websites (not even a real website- a Geocities page - the seller claims to have a number of satisfied customers since September 1 that is greater than our satisfied and disgruntled customers combined!! To make matters worse, here's an example of what she's peddling; Good Lord, I hope it's not an alarm clock!! Can you imagine waking up to THAT every morning? I would have little bits of "alibastrite" all over the wall, the first time. The only use I can see is if some family had a tradition of "ugliest gift". What a waste of a AA battery.
Columbo can draw! Who knew?
There's been a big hoopla because a school district up the road a piece (Puyallup WA) cancelled in school Halloween activities, partly to avoid incurring the wrath of local witches (I kid you not). Rampant political correctness is a scary thing. Why, if it was this way in the 60's, we wouldn't even have good cartoons like Tom and Jerry. Just this morning I saw the tail end of one - Tom was feeling guilty for casting Jerry out in the snow (animal abuse?) So he brings him in and gives him a hearty dose of Schnapp's (I estimated that Jerry drank three times his body weight) which of course brought a big smile to his face and turned him Bavarian. Is that so wrong?

I have been using computers since the days of saving programs on tape recorders, so it isn't often I am really impressed by a bit of software, usually there are a few things that delight but not the product as a whole. This MAXTHON web browser is sort of an exception to that rule, it's not yet perfect for my needs (I can't figure out how to attach my Google toolbar) BUT it's pretty cool, runs great, and it's free. I don't get any kickback for promoting it (It's free anyway!) I just like it. I keep discovering more cool features. Check it out!

I suspect that The Quipping Queen will someday rule all of Canada, possibly all of the North American continent. There is a secret government agency devoted to the singularly important task of making sure that she never joins Amway.
Asked what she likes best about her boyfriend, she pauses to think about the question, then shrugs and dismisses it. "I don't know. I just like him!" On midway, love still biggest thrill
What concerns me, is the thought process undertaken to figure out how to get by the license-plate censors. And who is squinting in the rear view mirror to read license plates anyway? 3M WOJ8

Nothing free in this world- I signed up with that service to turn this XML feed into RSS (whatever) and it's putting ads in my blog! how rude!
"In a smaller protest, police used clubs briefly to disperse a handful of demonstrators holding a "kiss-in" not far from Times Square." Glad to see they are putting a stop to the kissing. We all know where that leads. They would be obligated by New York Statutes to name the baby George, and that just wouldn't be right. Yahoo! News - No Major Violence Reported at NYC Protests
A note about Christmas... less than four months away... Santa is already taking Rudolph and the gang in for shots and deworming... Soon the elves will be back from Bermuda and thier appearance at The Skagit Valley Casino, and back to (As Wierd Al puts it) "Making 64 bit Nintendo systems out of wood". The mall security guard is polishing his gun (and I don't mean that in a good way) - Store buyers are getting drunk in Vegas and buying things at trade shows that will end up in your home if you don't plan ahead. Please, It's Jesus's birthday, if you're going to buy weird stuff for the uncles and aunts, at least don't do it in public.

Bea Arthur doesn't worry me when they find a knife in her purse at the airport; "She started yelling that it wasn't hers and said 'The terrorists put it there,' " a fellow passenger said. "She kept yelling about the 'terrorists, the terrorists, the terrorists.' " (link follows) Bea Arthur for President || kuro5hin.org Nothing interesting ever happens to me. Those lucky onlookers now have a story about how they saw Bea Arthur flip out at the airport. How cool is that?

Emily Latella Dept. "Shots also were fired at deputies who corned the gunman in the wooded area, he said." If more deputies took gunmen into wooded areas for a good old fashioned corning, there would be a lot less crime!
PORT ORANGE NEWS This just in... CNN.com - Florida man accused of using gator as weapon - Jul 18, 2004 Havenner's version of the story differed. He told investigators that Monico bit his hand because she was upset that they had run out of alcohol. Sounds reasonable to me.
Sunday is no longer, as the writer H.L. Mencken put it, merely "a day given over by Americans to wishing that they themselves were dead and in Heaven, and that their neighbors were dead and in Hell." Sunday melts into just part of the week This is kind of a radical concept in today's world, but I might go down to the library and check out that Mencken guy. Our main library is open until two on Sundays!

Yuk! Ptooo! They should put those new "vomit" flavored Cheese-its in a different colored box.
Knots in a bottle - And other unusual implausible items. Reminds of the box with the little doors at Ye Olde Curiosity Shoppe in Seattle... Each door had something like "chain Smoker" - A cigarette make into a chain shape... Or something weird like that. If you have the means, I highly recommend it.
