Fire!

Jodi is awesome.
Jodi signs up for a variety of giveaways, promotions, contests and such.
Jodi wins stuff.
This time it was a dinner for up to 8 people at the Golden Corral buffet. We didn't know that it was also a sales pitch for some kind new-fangled fire safety device.

As seen in the picture, they roped in a herd of customers wanting a free meal and who were willing to sit through the presentation. Sylvia and I chose to skip the presentation and just enjoy a buffet meal on our own. We sat next to the banquet room so I could mock the presentation whenever possible.

The most wonderful time of the year


September 19 is upon us again!
Talk Like a Pirate Day
It's a regular feature around here: 2007
And something I try to celebrate with a certain degree of gusto each time it comes around.

Do not confuse Talk like a Pirate Day with the Day of the Ninja. They are not the same.

Tina Fey Glasses

Yeah
it was awesome.

Not political - just dang funny.

Tina fey returned to Saturday Night Live as Sarah Palin and kicked off the season opener with her old cohort Amy Poehler as Hillary Clinton. Oh... it seemed some guy named Michael Phelps hosted. Huh...

Bag O' baby

My local Wallgreen's store has everything. I had to stop in for some supplies today and there on an end-cap was a display containing this: Bag O' Baby.

Not to make light of a tough situation, but man! Couldn't some people struggling with infertility get a false ray of hope from this?

Like it's some kind of kit?

Seriously, what do you do - just add water or something?

Not a parking lot

This is the front of my apartment building and not some cheesy used car lot.

Can you believe that someone would just drive up on the front yard like that? Well, I guess if you have 4-wheel drive, you use it.

Nice parking job Mr. "I'm so important".

Well done.
