I’m knee deep in Amazon lists of baby dolls, houses and clothes. And let’s not forget Littlest Pet Shop! Or game cartridges!
Emails about these important issues have flown at breakneck speeds between OD and I today… and I can promise you one thing: Black Friday may have been a wash, but I’m doing my part on Cyber Monday! Almost all but a handful of gifts have been purchased…
Did you know that there’s a website dedicated to today’s deals at cybermonday.com? I didn’t need it; every one of those companies crams my email inbox with ‘deals’ year round in a regular dance of savings.
In a drastic reversal of attitude, local retailers have become strangely, shockingly nice. Running errands Thanksgiving Eve was actually a pleasure. It’s desperation, of course. While sad, I’m enjoying the service.
Did I say knee deep? The tide’s in and I’m in it to my neck now.
My MIL is getting a MagicJack for Christmas. Nobody tell her, k?
Holy, moly! I’m much too verbose; instead I’ll leave you with this piece of inanity – or is it insanity – or both? Quality Weenie should love this!

I know, right?
I thought it HAD to be a joke, but apparently not…

Snopes has it as false, but it’s worth the whole reading of the snopes file to see that the truth is actually quite as troubling!

Agreed; it’s very entertaining!

Now that is funny!

…not entirely true, but funny nonetheless!

Obama administration = “Define True”?
So many easy shots…so little time. Fill in the blank here.

I’ve been saying for years that we need to change the laws of physics.

Game cartridges? What kind of game? I canm load cartridges for anything from Prairie Dogs to Elk. I could load for the big bears but, since I ain’t mad at them I never bought that kind of rifle, nor the loading dies.Same as for the Ellyphump guns, I never loaded for those, either.
What?

It’s small game, Peter. They call it YuGiOh and it’s distinguished by having no plumage -or heartbeat- whatsoever. Not even edible! Don’t know people would want it…

I’m struggling to come up with something for Mojo. Why are teen girls so hard to shop for?

Oh, that’s easy. Just ask her what she wants!
Ta DA!!

So the quote is basically true, but it happened a few years ago with people who would become part of the Obama adminstration.
I have posted a few stories about encounters people in the auto industry have had with the Car Czar and his ilk. It ain’t pretty.
They are dispised and laughed at, people who don’t know crap about the auto industry try to come in and tell people who have been working in the auto industry for decades (and I am not talking about executives either) how they should be building/doing things is not going to fly.

I thought of you right away; knew you’d encountered this type of thing before.
None of it is pretty, IMO. It all stinks.
