What would Keanu say if he saw this?

Coats. Soothes. Refreshes.

Suffering from upset stomach, yet craving a cool treat? Perhaps you should whip up some Pepto Bismol ice cream. Follow the link for the recipe (and explanation of why the creator made some in the first place).
One word: ewww.

Can you see it?

The hidden picture within this picture, that is. Leave a comment to tell me what you see.

Orchids

One of the world's most magnificent flowers, orchids are grown in every climate except deserts and Antarctica.
Did you know that vanilla (see below) is an orchid? It's the only variety of orchid cultivated for a use other than beauty. FYI, the Coca-Cola Company is the world's largest user of vanilla as a flavoring.

Looky here for much, much more about orchids. (I love Wikipedia!)

BLOG UNDER RENOVATION

I logged on to post a notice that (duh) I hadn't had any time for blogging lately. I wind up tinkering with the template but only get started fixing it up when (duh) I ran out of time and had to log off again.
Sometimes I confuse me. Could I be ADD?

Penguin Poop!

Penguins are cute, but I had a professor in college who'd done some research in Antarctica, and he said that penguin colonies are the noisiest, smelliest places in the world.

Eat a fig, go to hell

Whoah. What happened to make this person so all-fired adamantly opposed to figs? Did he fall out of a fig tree as a child and bonk his noggin, leaving him permanently disfigured? Did his daddy beat him with a fig branch? Did his Aunt Gertrude choke on a fig and croak in the middle of Sunday dinner? Does his family own a date-processing company, and therefore see figs as their main competition in the chewy dried fruit market? Go to godhatesfigs.com to see if you can "fig"ure it out!

By the way, here is a quiz to let you know if you are a little too obsessed with figs. If so, you are not alone. Some people are so fig-centric they even post about them in their blogs! Losers!
By the way, did I mention that I have fresh figs and fig preserves for sale? I also specialize in gourmet fig desserts, such as fig brownies, fig bars, and even fig-cherry cheesecake (product in development). Figalicious!

Home Security System

How to set up your Southern Home Security System
1. Go to a second-hand store and buy a pair of men’s used size 14-16 work boots.

2. Place them on your front porch, along with a copy of Guns and Ammo and your NRA magazines.

3. Put a giant dog dish next to the boots and magazine.

4. Leave a note on your door that reads:

“Hey Bubba - Big Mike, Slim, Tiny and I went for more ammunition. Back in an hour. Don’t mess with the pitbulls. They attacked the mailman this morning and messed him up pretty bad. I don’t think Killer took part in it but I locked all four of them in the house. Better wait outside.”

Star Trek vs. Star Wars

Ha!

Yo-yo dance

Check out this video of a guy doing yo-yo tricks. I wonder how many times he whacked himself in the head while practicing this routine? My favorite part is the sounds the audience makes.

Click here to get more information than you ever knew there was about yo-yos. For example, did you know that the name yo-yo is believed to have derived from Tagalog and translates as "come-come"? In reality, however, yo-yo is not a Tagalog word (the word for "come" is halika). It is possible that the term came from another Philippine language. The term was first published in a dictionary of Filipino words printed in 1860. I could go on and on. Personally, I like "yo-yo" a lot better than "halika-halilka." Don't you?

By the way, the yo-yo pictured above is on sale! It was $199.99, but if you act now you can get it for only $134.99. Seriously.
