Hot or No

I would hope that the majority of you have experienced the hot or not website. hotornot.com
I know I have! Meghan recently searched "medicine hat" and found some precious jewels. More specifically, two of our friends. I wanted to attribute this entry to Jonny and Kevin. Way to sport the Medicine Hat pride boys.

Go see Jonny

Our Grandmothers Grandchildren

Out wonderful Irish Grandmother--Ann Elkink--keeps "good records" of her neighbors going-ons. I won't say "spies," because more than anything it’s simply watching with speculation. Well, Hillery and I took a page out of her book. About 2 weeks ago our neighbors across the street unpacked a large truck full of square hay bales (or idiot cubes) into their yard. The owner of the house--who has a long, braided gray ponytail--proceeded to build a "hay shed" with a full sized house window, complete with blinds. Hillery and I amusedly watched this process and debated what the use of such an eye sore could be? A dog house? A kid’s play house? A safe house for stray elephants? Yesterday a pile of sand appeared on their drive way (another curious phenomenon). But today took the cake. We were happily eating apple turnovers and reading Harry Potter when we noticed a FIRE MARSHEL knocking on braided hay mans door! We swiftly opened our screen door, Hillery hid with the curtains, and I performed an army roll across the floor in order to catch what the conversation was about. I glanced up at her from my hiding place (laying flat on my stomach) to her hiding place (eyes peeping out from behind the curtains) and said "Hillery, we are our Grandmothers grandchildren!"

Will vs David



Meghan, you are so right. Check out the similarities!

BAYWATCH

Having 400 channels doesn’t always ensure something new is on, but you can always find something good! I'm talking 1989, neon clad, string bikini, raybands, little red floatation device style. You want to talk about drama? Baywatch. Need a little speedboat or shallow water diving action? Baywatch. Feeling a little low? You just need an inspirational speech from David Hasselhoff---off of BAYWATCH! (Anyone noticed he wears a ton of eyeliner?) Oh, and don't forget the full song (usually bad rock) accompanied by scenes of random beach jogging in ever episode. So, pretty much what I'm telling you is that Baywatch is THE BEST SHOW EVER!

Bonsai Kitten

I received an angry forward from a university student today. I usually just delete such hogwash, but this one caught my eye. The "Bonsai Kitten" website has thoroughly engrossed my attention for the past half an hour. Hillery simply laughed at me and told me the site was a joke (which I'm almost sure it is--but my love for kittens makes me worry a bit). Check 'er out!

You'll note there are no "after" pictures displayed...which makes the squished in the bottle cat faces just amusing. I wanted to point out a few of my favorite comments:

Months ago, you have masterfully shaped my kitten into a trapezoid; however, now, the 45-degree angle on the tail side is weakening, making her more of a rhombus than anything. Although, I could reinforce the front side with the angular clamps you sell, I'm afraid she might turn out to be a parallelogram. Any tips?
We would be happy to surgically restore the crisp angles to your cherished pet. In fact, you may have forgotten that we provide a lifetime warranty on the shape of your Bonsai Kitten. Please, pack the Kitten into the shipping container that we will send to you via special express, and we will contact you shortly with a time estimate for the repairs.

(I personally enjoy the terminology...sounds like someone just completed their grade 10 geometry class!)

From: "Rust Burn"

Your site has been reported to the United States Department of Agriculture and The Humane Society. I suggest your site be remove immediately and not repeated elsewhere. Your site has been copied entirely for further actions should they occur.

Dear Rust,

We wish to assure you that we have all the appropriate Bonsai Kitticulture permits required for this simple and painless procedure. We do not understand what you are flagellating about. And we doubt that Rust is your real name. Also, common law copyright exists on these web pages, and we warn you to destroy the illegal copies that you admit to have made or you will face prosecution for stealing our creative property.

(Here they mock the guys name, and turn threats on him. enjoyable!)

My third and favorite comment was too rude to post and rather offensive, but the site is funny! Take a look and tell me if i should stop laughing at this "cruelty"???
