Sick Wiggle Quits

Greg (Yellow Shirt) has some kind of illness the doctors haven't identified yet. He's quitting the group to hopefully get better.

I hope he's gonna be OK! I like the Wiggles. There, I said it. (Anthony is my favorite)

By the way, put this one down in the "best headline" archives.

Did her mom buy that?

What about 7- and 9-year-olds?

Yep, I've got the cutest of those, too.

All right, we'll call it a draw

That's what I feel like after Thanksgiving week. And you?

In case you were wondering...

...this is what the world's cutest 3-year-old looks like.

O.J. "confession"

Publisher on O.J.: 'I consider this his confession'

I didn't think he could get more disgusting. I was all set to post his picture but it made me sick.

Letterman said, "He is going to reveal where he hid the knife he didn't have."

Legal experts say that since he can't be tried twice for the same crime, he can publish whatever he wants without impunity.

I think I'm gonna hurl.

Panda-poop paper and Ka-ka cars

A zoo in Thailand has found a use for the 50 pounds of poop produced daily by their pandas: make it into paper to sell to the tourists!

Now if they could just come up with cars that run on dung-power. But would the exhaust smell like farts? I can see it now--

The Toyota Thunder-Turd: We're #1 in #2
The Porsche Poopmobile: Holy crap, this car is fast!
The Dodge Dookie XL: Flush-n-Rush
The Suzuki $h!temobile: For Shizzle!

Congratulations Mitsy!

We are happy for you! (Except George)

Otterly Adorable

Ok, here's a little more "cute" for you. Awhile back I posted a link to cuteoverload.com, where you can "aww" your way through many, many pwecious images. I looked on there this morning, and this is what I saw.

Deep Otter Thoughts
"Sometimes life seems like a dream, especially when I look down and see that I forgot to put on my pants."

Now that sounds like something I would say.

For all the pets on your Christmas list...

If you have money to burn and a pet you dote on, you just might need to check out this website, where you can order CD's for dogs, cats, even birds. This is from the website:

"Songs To Make Dogs Happy!" is the first qualitatively and quantitatively researched musical CD, based upon 200 canine participants’ responses to what THEY would like to hear in songs!
The Laurel Canyon Animal Company and Dr. Kim Ogden, a nationally known Intuitive Animal Communicator, worked together to create music dogs love to listen to! A CD with 12 songs that will make your dog happy!

And there are children out there who don't have decent clothes to wear...

Yep

Mmmm...pie

What's better than a silly pie chart? More silly pie charts!

Let's just skip Halloween this year

Oh no. Too late.
My kids have already dressed up 3 times (for Scouts, church, and a birthday party) and it ain't even the 31st yet. I like Halloween as much as the next person, but I'm just sick of it already. Too much! But then again, I feel that way about lots of things I used to really care about, like being nice to others and personal hygiene. Just kidding (a little).

McDonald's vows to stop killing hedgehogs

Who knew that a McFlurry could be deadly (other than diabetics or people allergic to overpriced, underflavored desserts).Apparently, the Hedgehog Welfare Society did.

Hedgehogs all over the U.K. were dying after sticking their heads into discarded McFlurry cups, looking for a little sticky goodness, only to find that they couldn't back out, due to their prickly quills. Starving to death because of looking for something to eat...tragically ironic, don'tcha think?

But after only FIVE YEARS of being petitioned by Hedgie lovers all over the world, Ronald McDonald has finally awoken from his gluttonous stupor to respond. Did they somehow make the McFlurry less desirable to hedgehogs? Did they encourage the government to (dare I say it?) make littering illegal? No, dummy. They changed the packaging.

McDonald's said in a statement the design change had resulted from pressure from the society which prompted "significant research and design testing" to develop new packaging. "The smaller aperture of the lid has been designed to prevent hedgehogs from entering the McFlurry container in the unfortunate incidence that a lid is littered and is then accessible to wildlife," it said.

And millions of tiny voices broke into the "Hallelujah Chorus."


Another good thing to come out of this: I've found a new resource for wacky-but-true news stories, like this one over here. The last sentence alone is worth following the link. We ain't got nothin' on the British when it comes to odd news.

I love rainy days!

No sarcasm intended. The only way it would be better would be if it were thundering and the wind blowing wildly. And if I were in Costa Rica.

Of course, tornadoes are no fun, but as for the rest of the stormy weather, bring it on. I am so glad it's fall. Anybody with me?

Hair in a hurry

This post is in conjunction with an ongoing project by Shannon at Rocks in My Dryer. You can follow the link to see a bunch more tips from other mommybloggers.

Here's my tip: If you ever have to suddenly look presentable and have no time to wash your hair, or if your hair's gone blah in the middle of the day, sprinkle a little baby powder in your hand and work it lightly through your hair for a quick picker-upper. Go easy; you don't want to end up looking like George Washington with a powdered wig. A little goes a long way. Note: I don't know how well this will work for brunettes, as my hair is medium-to-dark blonde. So to all you people who theoretically have less fun than me: try it out before your next shower to see how it works.

By the way, I use the lavender scented powder so I don't smell like I just changed a baby.

Name that costume
