After the topic of being a "Friend of Dorothy" came up in chat, I was looking in google for other references of its being used in things. One of the things found was this ad for Australian tourism. One of the best tie in's to Dorothy. haha
I have always thought that Ann Coulter was a nut job, but her latest article, which USA Today pulled because she wouldn't tone it down, is just horrid and filled with lunatic bile.
So, basically only ugly people are Democrats, which is one of the tamer things she rages about in this article. She needs to be muzzled.
Its pretty bad when one guy I know says he doesn't even wanna screw her and then beat the crap out of her - he just wants to beat the crap out of her.
You are right, Stinky, Monday's don't have to suck.
*tog leans over and eats her egg mcmuffin and smells her flowers* :)
Britney's trashiness has still not bottomed out as evidenced by these pics of her allegedly, but obviously, going down on her "fiance" on the balcony of their hotel.
The sound of the downward spiral is starting to sound like a tornado sweeping down the plains.
Nate has been attending Cub Scout Day Camp this past week. He has been having a lot of fun, and even got a badge for marksmanship on the bb gun range - he has been getting bullseye's at 50 ft. since the second day. He has never picked up a bb gun before, but clearly has great hand/eye coordination - proving those video gaming wasn't completely worthless. (yeah, right).
Anyway, last night of camp was the campfire and time for all of the dens to do a skit in front of everyone - parents were attending for end of camp activities. Let me preface this by saying that my child can be a bit of an attention whore and smart ass - I have no idea where he gets this, but I plainly blame his dad.
So, like all boy skits, the one that Nate's den had been practicing all week and was going to perform didn't really make that much sense. Something about one boy has beans in his ears and each boy goes up to him saying, "you've got beans in your ears". The first boy says, "what?" other boy says, "you've got beans in your ears", causing the first boy to say "what?" and the other boy says "awww, forget it", ad nauseum to the last boy and then the boy takes the beans out of his ears. I told you it didn't make sense. Well, Nate is the second boy to go out and tell the kid he had beans in his ears and all is going well, up until the first boy says "what?" the seond time. To which Nate replies, "awww, screw you". Much to the horror of his mother and the rest of the 120 so people out there at that time.
On the one hand I was wishing the ground would just open up and swallow me and on the other hand I wanted to get up and beat the child in front of everyone. Luckily, the skit continued and the ceremony went on, while the den leader grabbed...urm...took Nate aside and explained to him in no uncertain terms that what he had done was completely unacceptable and inappropriate. I wanted to kill him. He realized he had screwed up and afterwards he went over to the entire den and apologized for messing the skit up and we went home, with him apologizing and trying not to die on the way home from momma's wrath. Thank goodness I do not have to see any of those people again.
Rule #1: Do not embarass your mother in front of a large group of people.
He's so gonna pay for that one forever.
A girl from work and I went to go see "Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy" last night and it was too freaking funny. I was afraid that all of the good bits were in the commercials, but they weren't.
The cameos were funny, but Steve Carell from The Daily Show almost stole the show for me, even tho Will Ferrall is just classic. Very, very funny flick. We were quoting it and laughing for the rest of the night.
The day care that Nate attended made the news last night - and not in a good way. Seems that one of the van drivers left one of the kids at Pelican Bay after going there on a swimming outing.
Now, I have went with them to Pelican Bay on these outings before, and I can tell you from experience that I am not surprised. On paper, it looks like an organized situation, but in practical purposes, it isn't. Kids are assigned a color based on what van they ride over on, and when it is time to go, the teachers hold up that color and the kids are supposed to come on and get on the van and go back to Kids Ink.
One van always goes back first with the second van after in case someone didn't get on the first bus.
Now, I do agree that he driver should have counted kids, and this could have been avoided. But the one thing that makes me kind of sad is that it was a guy who was driving the van who got fired. One of the great things about Kids Ink was that they have a very large number of male teachers there to interact with the kids and I think that is great for the boys there to have guys to hang out with as teachers.
And one thing I thought was odd was that they never mentioned the director's name (It's Debbie) in the story. I figure it is because kids of some of the local news stations go to Kids Ink and kind of did her a favor. Course, I figure that is also the exact reason that this story and interview got out there, too.
I don't think it is a bad place, just a shitty accident. I would still send Nate back there again.
From a recent conversation:
[her] did you see the instructions for how to deal with a boy you have a mad crush on?
[me] no?
[me] something different than stalk him and then pretend to hate him?
[me] and accuse him of stalking you?
According to this account from a young girl, it seems i wasn't far off.
And from the comments of that article: "ten year old boys are insufficiently subtle to deduce from any of the above that you like him. They will just be confused." Um, I think you can pretty much substitute any age in there and you will get the same results. ;)
Boys are stoopit. KK, LLL, BFF, WBS XOXOXO <3 <3
I got to talk to this suspect's Mom and Dad this week. It is really a sad story, but from what I can gather, he is a paranoid schizophrenic and has been off his meds since December. He needs to be put back in the hospital to me monitored again, and that is just a shame. The parents found out about this when reading the paper Sunday morning - no phone calls from the police or medical personnel.
Turns out he was dianosed back when he was 17yo. When he was 16 his parents just thought he was on drugs or something to explain his erratic behavior, but finally they took him to the doctor who actually diagnosed him and hospitalized him for several years. Medication seemed to help, but what should have been progress for him only led to set backs, leading up to this.
Such a shame and I hope the trooper recovers and this guy gets the help he so needs.
I am just saying...for some reason I don't think that Lindsay Lohan's boobs are real.
Here is a line by line factual back up for the movie "Farenheit 9/11".
I actually went to go see this with my getting disenchanted Republican brother. His comment when we left the theatre after the movie was, "I am really mad now". Nice to hear. And with him listening to the stream of "Air America Radio" at work nowadays, I am betting that he will be throwing his vote away here in the red republican state of Oklahoma and not voting for Bush in November.
I took the kiddo to Frontier City on Monday to ride his first roller coaster. Funny thing - it was also my first roller coaster ride.
Lemme just get this out there: I am NOT a ride person. At all. Never have been. Never will be. I am not an adreneline junkie and do not desire to be. However, I am a mom and sometimes have to do thing that I don't particularly ever want to do. Like ride a roller coaster - after Daddy has helpfully told the child, "I bet you just can't wait to ride that roller coaster with Mom can you?". It's times like that that I wish I could reach thru a cam and spread the love, painfully. Instead, in that case one my of "looks" had to suffice. Which only made Daddy giggle even more. Butthole.
So, there we are at The Silver Bullet". If you look, it says the ride is 42 seconds long - the shortest coaster in the park (it also happens to be the fastest, which is my justification for riding it - heh). Now, I can do just about anything horrible for 42 seconds - this just happens to be one of them. So, I put on the brave face and got in the roller coaster with the child and we rode the ride. I even let out a 'whoop!' somewhere in the middle. The child kept his eyes closed thru some of it, but there were no tears or anything. He just said when he got off that it was fun, but he probably didn't want to ride it again soon. Which is fine - he can ride with his Dad next time and I will stay firmly on the ground video taping everything for later. :)
After getting that out of the way, we had a great rest of the day riding the tilt a whirl too many times, getting soaked on the rapids (which Nate thought was a little lame since he has already ridden the rapids of the Colorado River) and plunging on the log ride. It was lots of fun.
One of my all time favorite songs from the 70's was "Afternoon Delight" by the horribly named group, "Starland Vocal Band".
Well, Ron Burgundy and the Channel 4 Action News Team (from the upcoming movie "Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy") have made a music video of the song which is hilarious and had me laughing for far too long.
I have noticed that somewhere between 3am and 4am is really when "tonight" becomes "last night". Its not really midnight and it isn't really sunrise, its just kind of happens in the middle of the night.
