This way my Twitter blatherings can LIVE FOREVER!

Not that it really should surprise you who is writing your blog.

Wow, apparently I could go back to Rio de Janeiro, roundtrip, for my birthday for under $600 out of Philadelphia.

If that were the only cost...

OH YEAH! We're going on vacation there in 2009, this will be a great tale for the kids all week.

The US Navy captured a 140-foot monster in Lake Michigan on September 16 and a secret Pentagon photograph proves it!

The picture clearly shows a pair of Navy divers cautiously approaching the beast just minutes after it was immobilized in a gigantic steel net.

And while it is not yet known what the Navy plans to do with the monster, sources say that every effort will be made to keep it alive while researchers try to figure out what it is, how it got into Lake Michigan and if there are more like it.

"I don’t want to sound like a gawking tourist but the Loch Ness monster is nothing, and I do mean nothing, compared to this, "declared marine biologist Richard Clarke, who cited Pentagon sources and documents when he blew the lid off the capture of the beast at a news conference in Washington, DC.

"The Navy spent six months trying to capture this thing," he continued, "and the big question now is what the hell did they catch? The monster looks like a dinosaur but there are several important distinctions.

"For one thing, dinosaurs were exceedingly stupid but this lake monster apparently has an intelligence rivaling that of a dog or a horse. It also has lungs and gills, which enable it to breathe in or out of water at will.

"One of the more intriguing aspects of this case is why nobody has reported seeing the monster before, he added. "Then again, people may have seen it but were too embarrassed or afraid to talk."

We're going to call him Michie.

Nah, it's my uvula. It's from my exclaiming "NOOOOOOO" reaction to news stories about Black Friday.

Some bloggers are so easily impressed with themselves.

When the power came back on after 8:30 last night, one of my "me and the kids" plans had been scuttled. We have rented "Duck Soup" by the Marx Brothers on NetFlix, and I'm planning on dropping it on them some night, and we'll sit together and watch it. Last night would have been perfect, except, well, you know, no power.

Hopefully sometime this week we can have our "old-time movie night" and watch this, and see how it goes.

Yeah, we played Scrabble last night. We have a VERY old version of the game, from my parents.

Cool, an English to Morse Code translator.

Or, actually, in any way.

It's a trap, I'm telling you. It is a bakery chef's evil plot to mess up your clothes. And it is unstoppable!

I've got the Haydn thing going on with the hair over my ears now, and it ain't a wig. Too much trouble to try to have long hair.

I have forgotten almost anything I might have somehow accidentally learned about THE POETS in my education, but thanks to this web site, I can impress, as long as I can access it before having to say anything about poetry.

That there's room for a successful "reality" contest television show, where contestants create quality Halloween costumes for less than $60. Every week could be a theme - superhero, horror movie, occupational, historical figure - hell, I don't care, but they can't do any worse than some of the stuff out there.

Automatically voted off if they come up with this, though.

Sometimes I can really annoy my wife with my unexpected "jumping" into a picture...

I can't imagine the personality that would choose to pay for this as a costume...

If you're ever at our house, and we serve you a wine that has this label, then you should know that we really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really like you. Like, like you more than we like ourselves... this stuff is over a couple hundred bucks a bottle...

But someday I want to taste it. C'mon rich bloggers, invite us over to share a bottle!

McCain/Palin is ruining the national memory of an enjoyable television western.

I am surprised. Apparently I am one of the few bloggers carrying the day for the vast majority of human beings that can't stand eggplant. Science has shown that over 98% of the human population have an enzymatic reaction to eggplant which can cause, among other things, nasal mucus glow and the feared rectal thud syndrome. But I did manage to find a few bloggers brave enough to battle against the Unified Eggplant Syndicate.

I think I'm going to get this underwear

I guess furnace companies must make a lot of money in Alaska.

Guppies:

I have a butt load of guppies that my slider just won't eat. They keep reproducing, but he's not eating them, so it's kind of getting out of control. I got them as feeders, but some of them have random colors on their fins and all. So I guess feeder or tank guppies :) What do you have?

Oh, those Brazilians...

Today is the G-rated version, tomorrow will be the PG-13 or soft R version.

And... no, sometimes I just don't explain why I post what I post. That's like my blog secret sauce, seemingly random posts for no apparent reason. That's why thousands and thousands of people visit this blog every decade.

For nuns?

And these two doofuses delivered. Possum?

I predict that sometime tomorrow, Lauren Holly will make the top 100 of Google Hot Trends.

In another daring prediction, I will say that it WON'T BE for her effort in "The Chumscrubber".

It can be quite surprising how many different items have the same model number. For example, FL1008.
