I Wish I’d Thought of This
I hope our cat doesn’t read this blog. I’m going to have to sneak up on him with this one…
Of course, it’s no fun if the cat actually plays along… *sigh*

There Could have Been a Reason to Watch American Idol…
…but the entrant was more than 30 years beyond the age cutoff:
He coulda been a contender.

On Not Getting the Point
Lunchtime amusements.
I told my Wonder Woman, “You don’t deserve me.”
“I know,” she replied, “but I’m working on it.”
“Oh? You’re working on becoming mean, nasty, ugly and cruel?” I asked (with redundant expository included here for emPHAsis).
*WW-glow*
*heh*
Not getting the point, Lady? Deliberately eh? As I said… 😉
12 Days and Then Some…
Hallelujah
I could have used these folks in a handbell choir (pretty much the same skill set).
Found at TF Stern’s Rantings. Thanks, TF.
I Like It When My Directions Are Followed to the Letter…
Saw this at “etsy” (off a reference from Lovely Daughter’s blog, A Dash of Nutmeg),
It attracted my eye because of a lil schtick I pull from time to time: shopping in a store, set something down (perhaps in a cart or basket or even at the checkout), point at it and glare sternly saying, “Stay!” It almost invariably gets a decent reaction from whatever audience I have.
“Tis a small thing but my own.
Lesson Learned
OK, so I kinda knew that one set of bottles I’d put away a little over a week ago had been slightly “over-charged” since, besides the same amount of sugar “charge” as all the other bottles, they also contained a goodly amount of trub that was likely to contain a bit more yeast the sugar could reactivate.
Oh, “lesson learned”? Don’t open one of “those” bottles while sitting at a computer. Screen, keyboard drawer, keyboard: all liberally sprayed by some hyper-carbonation. *heh*
Cleanup was delicious, though.
I Hope They Don’t Think They Can Dance…
…but I appreciate the joi de vivre
Best part, IMO, is where the shopper (looks to be in his over-weight, outa condition late 40s second glance, mid-fifties, but all these kids look about the same to me *heh*) joins in and looks better “on the floor” than the store employees. *heh* As I said, I appreciate the spirit, but a little over the top for my own shopping taste.
h.t. to Josh on FB
Note the post where this video originated. A guy who claims to have been “hardcore Mac” for the past five years,
“I was absolutely floored by this experience, Microsoft has made a bold move to capture new market share. I ordered a copy of Windows 7 Ultimate edition…”
Well, I like Windows 7 well enough to have transitioned my own Wonder Woman to it (she’s “hard core’ Windows ;-)) and to have freely recommended it to folks who’ve had their gripes with Vista, but it’s not the bees’ knees. *heh* Still, nice to see some folks enjoying their work.
One of These Is Not Like The Other
No, Washington’s horse is not smoking. It was cold at Valley Forge…
