In unrelated news...
There was a pile of dog poo on the way to do laundry today. I kept saying "Hi, Mr. Hankie" when I passed it, because I knew it was really Mr. Hankie, the Christmas Poo. Hubby just thinks I'm weird. But you and I know the truth.

Bull...
If a bulldog goes to sleep, it becomes a bulldozer.
Did you see that news story about the kid named Adolph Hitler Campbell? (The one ShopRite wouldn't make a cake for?) Someone commented that because of his last name, he is actually a soup Nazi!
That's all I have to pass along today. I'm supposed to root against the Patriots in football today, according to Hub, so please do the same to help us all out. Thanks!

T.G.I.F!
Okay, haven't written much lately. Waaay too busy at work. Also hanging out with the hubby, fuming over Spencer on "The Hills," etc., etc.....
I'm noticing that blogging is on the decline in general. People are doing their Facebook status updates and such. Ned wrote something poignant, though. He refers to it as "whiny and self involved."
On another note, here's what some Jewish folks do on Xmas Eve. I won't confirm that I've ever been to one.
Have wonderful holidays, everyone!

Accessories
The Hubby and I were in the Port Authority last week and spied this woman walking a dog that had a puffy winter coat that matched hers. The dog's coat even had a hood! It said "Rock" on it with a star in the "O."
UPDATE: I found it on-line. It's only $45. It's the one on the left.

So that you're in the know
"Sexting" is the new catch-phrase. From AOL news:
Apparently teens taking risqué photos of themselves is turning into a full-on epidemic. Researchers from Teenage Research Unlimited have finally put some hard numbers to the anecdotes about teens getting themselves in trouble with revealing photos.
According to the study, commissioned by the National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unplanned Pregnancy and CosmoGirl.com, 22-percent of teenage girls and 18-percent of boys have taken nude or semi-nude photos of themselves and sent them to someone or posted them online. And a third of young adults (20-26 years old) have done the same. Young adults and teens view sending these photos and suggestive text messages as simple digital flirting. 39-percent of teens and 59-precent of those young adults say they've sent naughty texts a means of flirting.

We're officially in a recession. In case you couldn't tell.
Dialogue of the day
(in the supermarket)
CASHIER: That's $6.03.
(I start looking through my pocketbook.)
HUBBY: Do you have it?
ME: I do. I just need to find three cents.
HUBBY: I can find it.
ME: Well, I probably have more cents.
HUBBY: You have more sense?
ME: Yes, I probably have more sense.
CASHIER: (Laughing)
ME: Thank you. We'll be here all week.

This makes me angry
VALLEY STREAM -- A Wal-Mart employee died and four others were hurt in the Black Friday rush to get into the Valley Stream store this morning.
The injuries occurred as the shoppers crammed into the Wal-Mart when the doors opened at 5 a.m. Some 2,000 shoppers were waiting to get inside the store for Black Friday sales.
Police said the shoppers knocked the man to the ground at 5:03 a.m., three minutes after the store opened.
A 34-year-old Wal-Mart employee suffered an apparent heart attack and was rushed to the hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
The poor guy was probably working to make money for his family this holiday season. It was bad enough he was stuck working at Wal-Mart on Black Friday.
If stores want to open early and make money, they need to have better security.

Sale!
Apparently, Black Friday doesn't only mean deals at stores. Apparently, Amazon will be having deals too, and not just on books. Here's a link.
I think their sales are good a few days before and after the day -- and yes, I get a little money if you buy through my link.
Here it is again.

Police perplexed by soda can in woods
Was it a joke, an accident, or something more?
Police in Nicotown, Mass. are perplexed by a crushed Coke can found at the beginning of a trail in some local woods by a hiker this past Friday. They say that the can looks like someone drank out of it, but simply left it on the ground without using it to construct a model airplane.
Police also say that even more mysteriously, a cigarette butt and a mitten were found within 300 yards of the can.
"It's the darndest thing," said Det. Sgt. Marshall Warren Kopp. "It looks like the mitten may have been on someone's hand. In addition, we strongly suspect the Coke can used to have soda in it!"
The cigarette butt looks as if someone smoked it, but may have had at least 25 cents worth of nicotine left, Kopp added.
CNN is investigating reports that a crumbled newspaper page was found nearby.
"In all my years on the force, I've never seen anything like this," said Lieutennant Lou Tennant. "Except the time we found a ladybug and couldn't find its owner."
Tennant said that his department spent months putting the ladybug's picture on milk boxes to see if anyone would claim the missing pet, but it was in vain.
Kopp and Tennant said the case is unconnected to the suspicious empty water bottle found in Yellowstone Park last week.

So????
Would you really call 911 if you found this? I think some kid hid it there to get out of lessons, which I wish I'd done.

Excellent....
The bulldog conspiracy has snared a victim. Last night, the hubby was innocently watching stuff on YouTube - guy stuff, I assure you - and it recommended that he watch a bulldog video, because I'm on the computer so much looking at bulldog videos. Way to go, YouTube! If you are interested, it was a bulldog eating a watermelon.
They didn't show all the poo afterward.
I think hubby would have preferred something more like Uga, the U. Georgia football team's bulldog mascot.
