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.

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!

"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.

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. Visit TheRestlessMouse.com for reliable and discreet service and great prices.

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)

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?

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!

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. Does your city have a super-tacky tourist trap?
