So, how was your weekend?

Anything exciting? Newsworthy?

My two-months-to-go-until-twenty year old daughter got engaged over the weekend.



Your turn.

Stormtrooper fail

Yeah, so the right side is cut off a bit. Sry. Don't know how to fix that coz I'm not THAT much of a geek.

My Best Christmas Poem

Percy the un-striped zebra
had a very plain white coat
When the striped zebras saw it,
they'd just stand around and gloat.

All of the other zebras
used to laugh and call him names,
but Percy taught them all a lesson
when he pulled out his AK-47
which he'd had retrofitted
for easy operation
without opposable thumbs.




Okay, well, so it's not technically a Christmas poem, per se, but of course, it calls to mind one Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. Ol' Rudy took the pacifist route, but Percy shows us another way one can go, albeit not such a good one.

Merry Christmas, and best wishes for the coming new year.

Celebrity tweetbaiting

Michael McKean (@MJMcKean) retweeted me! I know that at least one of my three regular readers doesn't know about twitter, so for you, that means I said something to him on twitter, and he replied.

Those of you thinking, "...so?" obviously don't know that not only did Michael McKean play the Lenny half of "Lenny & Squiggy" on the pivotal 70s sitcom, Laverne & Shirley, but he was a key member of the fake band Spinal Tap in the cult rockumentary "This is Spinal Tap" and....and this is (in my mind) the biggest of all...he played Agent Morris Fletcher in The X-Files episode Dreamland, wherein he pulled off a most excellent portrayal of Agent Fox Mulder trapped in Morris Fletcher's body. Oh, and he did a bunch of other stuff.

There are tons of celebrities on twitter, and millions of people talking to them, trying to get a response. Obviously, no celeb is going to be able to reply to everyone, so it's kind of cool when you get one of them there famous people to talk to you. The only other celebrity reply I've gotten was from @JohnLarroquette, when he answered my query about his twitter wallpaper picture (he changes it nearly every day, choosing art I've never seen - worth a look)

Anyway, Michael McKean (@MJMcKean) tweeted about doing an episode of Sesame Street, so I asked him a question about it. Here's the link to his reply

And if you don't want to click that link and look, here's what it says:

RT @ThatBobbieGirl @MJMcKean Won't you tell me how you got, how you got to Sesame Street? They said: "somebody come & play" and sent a car.

Uh......

I've plucked actual chickens with my actual hands. This looks a lot easier, faster, and as long as the chicken is already dead, I don't see any harm in it. Still, it's not easy watching the bird go for a spin in this homemade chicken plucker.

I don't know the origin, but this is hilarious. Even though I completely disagree with everything Obama is doing, I had to share this. Or maybe that's WHY I had to share it. Sometimes, I feel like I have to laugh to avoid screaming.

Moon Landings - Faked or Real?

So, until I saw Capricorn One I had never thought to question much of anything that I was told about the government. It was kind of like taking a red pill  moment for me, and I've been pretty much been a mess ever since.

Of course, it didn't make me immediately doubt the veracity of the moon landings. That took a while. But it did make me consider...possibilities.

We are led to believe that the United States federal government is such a lumbering giant of a thing that it couldn't possibly pull off something so complex without somebody blowing the whistle. The thing is, some people do blow the whistle, but they're immediately marginalized, ridiculed and made out to be such kooks that nobody wants to even consider that they may have a point. We've no REAL JOURNALISTS left in the mainstream, so finding the truth is left to those who can't get any airtime because it's not good for business (read: sponsors).

This site intrigues me - I'm still not convinced that we didn't go to the moon. But then again, neither am I convinced that we DID go to the moon. There are some points to ponder here. Go take a look for yourself.

Moon Landings Faked??

Come back and tell me what you think.
(I'll send you a cookie.)
