Butterfly Cake


Cake

What can I say, Lori does great work! I got this with a "hi". Well, then, "Hi Lori". Pick a cake (your cake) I'm glad that she's holding here, as I would have clownishly plowed it into my face or on the floor -- comically not intentional. I wonder to whom this goes?

Since she does this at work and at home ... I see from background it's home. Summer fun -- cousin birthday or perhaps a whenever cake.

A&E documentary sours

I turned to an A&E documentary on a boy who had "anger control problems".  He threatened death to a teacher -- therefore, expelled from junior high school (8th grade).  So, he is at home, stewing.  During the interview the mother came across as, well ... non-too bright.  Hey!  He's got anger control problems and he proudly shows his marks of attack on walls and items.  What else does a angry youth need?  Yep, you guessed it ... guns.  He has a rifle on a mantle and his own shotgun.  That sure makes dealing with anger easy -- kill it.
 
Why did they air this?  Either it was all for show or he on the way to institutionation, aided by his mother.  Why not just have him arrested when he assaults her... nope, that would be smart and safe for society.  It makes for bad watching -- too happy of an ending.

Pee Wee Fishburn

Pee Wee, do you know what the playhouse is? It's the chair "Chairy", it's the lights.
Morpheus (Cowbois): unfortunately no one can be told what the playhouse is, you have to be shown

I know what you're thinking, why didn't I stay on the other channel.

tandem bike

Wow! I haven't seen that in ... oh, my, decades. Thankfully I saw a woman and man, not man-man tandem. You know why they're gay ...

If you haven't ridden a tandem bike, you should know that you go no faster than a regular bike and overall exertion from mistiming and not being in rhythm makes you about 89% as efficient as a solo bike. It's a nice concept ... all the wagons going in the same direction, but poor in application.

I'll buy that for a dollar

Firefox 2 with anti-phishing ... I'll have to get it. Sorry Bill Dance, you've been cashed out!

Give us money, please

I got a notice from the ASUS (Animal Santucary of the United States/WAO (Wild Animal Orphanage).
The notice was, surprise, surprise, was asking for money. Now, it started with "now caring for 350 hurrican Katrina animal orphans". That's nice, probably true. Supposedly they have over 800 animals in their care. They procalimed that the organization meets BBB (Better Business Bureau) standards and that they care for even exotic animals (listing many you might find in zoos as they are not indiginous to the US). All of that isn't a problem. I can even understand the donation request, but ...
if you have homeless domestic animals generally regarded as pets like, dogs, cats, birds, etc. ... it is unreasonable to ask also to take one into your house? They mentioned nothing of adopting the poor critters. They only wanted money. That is why I said, "nay nay"*.

! closing note: having a website doesn't make it legitimate; though, so many references to the pages does lend some credibility

I'm not sure, but I think there's cheating

My girlfriend keeps requesting our songs, Creep by TLC, and Follow Me by Uncle Kracker. I'm not sure, but she might be cheating. I suppose it makes sense that she likes to wear men's boxers -- too wide for her waist. I guess it makes sense that there's that third toothbrush that she exclaims, "don't use that one!"

looking out for friends

"I'm tellin' you, these things sell themselves. A customer comes in looking at an H2 and you don't need to try to sell it; the customer just jumps right in and buys it." -- six months ago.

"That sumbeach has sat there gettin' dusty ever since the [gas] prices went up! Now let me tell you, that thar is a damn fine auto, if you ask me." -- present day

Thanks for the ad MR, but I think that car dealing, unless it's not a gas guzzler, is rough right now. Gas prices coaster makes any car, well, a maybe. Thanks for the thought!

BTW: "these cars sell themselves" is a very obscure quote. An award to someone who figures out the quote. Hints: not from Used Cars
