I predict Sarah Palin will schedule her daughter’s wedding for October 3. This will be the Saturday after her debate with Joe Biden. Any debate disasters will be deflected by the news of her daughter’s wedding.
And a question: How does Sarah Palin celebrate Halloween? Did she ever dress her daughters as witches for Halloween? If so, what did her pastor think about that?
What is it about McCain & beauty queens?
His first wife was a swimsuit model until the horrible accident. Then McCain moved on with a rodeo beauty queen. Now he’s picked another beauty contestant (#2 for Miss Alaska) as his running mate.
One of my neighbors has recently discovered an obsession with the ballad Love Hurts. He’s playing it almost every day at very high volume. Today, he started at 8am. I hope this is the result of a bad breakup and eventually he will get over it.
Or perhaps this is his way of trying to reunite with whoever dumped him. Maybe the object of his obsession lives within hearing distance and he’s repeatedly playing the song in order to reach out to the lost love.
Or maybe he’s just a jerk with bad taste in music.
I’ve posted my knitting pattern for a white salamander. This is an example of shadow or illusion knitting. When seen directly, this appears to be a simple blue & white striped piece of fabric. When viewed from an angle, the salamander illusion appears.
Why a white salamander? It’s one of those ‘faith testing’ episodes for Mormons. In short, a master forger created a letter that depicted Joseph Smith taking advice from a white salamander. Hoffman convinced the Mormon church leadership, including the Prophet, that the letter was authentic. The Mormon Prophet has an official title of ‘Prophet, Seer and Revelator.’ That means he talks to God. Evidently, God gave the Prophet inaccurate guidance in this matter. The Prophet declared the letter authentic. Hoffman took his now Officially Authentic forgery and proceeded to sell it.
Hoffman’s usual practice was to sell the document to a wealthy Mormon who would then donate the document to the church. If the document reflected poorly on the Mormon church, perhaps by showing Joseph Smith taking advice from a magic white salamander, the church would then remove the document from any public view.
After a series of difficulties, Hoffman’s deceptions began to unravel. In order to protect himself, Hoffman decided the best course of action would be to blow up his customers. Hoffman was a better forger than bomb maker. He blew himself up, although he wasn’t killed.
With the bombings, Hoffman’s deception came to light. The Mormon church is now in the uncomfortable position of having to explain how their prophet was fooled by Hoffman. God should know these things. Mormons don’t like to talk about the white salamander incident.
This white salamander pattern would make a great placemat at Mormon family reunion. At first glance, it would appear to be a simple blue & white striped hand knit placemat. Anyone sitting across a table would be able to see the salamander pattern. But if they admitted to seeing it, they would also have to admit to seeing a hidden message in the form of a white salamander.
Turns out I am not the only one who likes Helen and got a copy of Aaya Toofan. I have yet to watch my copy so I have not yet seen the demon-who-looks-like-Mr. Potatohead.
I think we have two incompetent cats.
PKBB repeatedly gets herself stuck in the scratching post. She doesn’t seem to know how to retract her claws.
SMBK managed to fall down the stairs recently. How many cats can fall down the stairs? People fall down stairs. Cats don’t fall down stairs.
We think SMBK got himself caught in the top cross bar of his kitty tent. In attempting to free himself, he managed to fall down the stairs and take the tent with him. At least, that’s what we think happened. Cat & tent both landed at the bottom of the stairs. Both survived the adventure intact. We’re considering tethering the tent to the wall in order to stop SMBK from repeating his new trick.
Everyone knows the formula for choosing a porn name. (name of first pet plus street name of childhood home). We were wondering what a similar formula might be for choosing a DJ name. While the porn name formula might work, perhaps DJs need a different formula. I propose using the location of your first ticket plus the model of your first car. In my case, this would produce a DJ name of “DJ Colorado Rabbit.”
The last version of this blog self-destructed. I’m trying again.
I can always tell when an election is coming. The answering machine fills with political telemarketing recorded messages. Because we live in California, we get actors-turned-politicians as well as the usual career politicians. We’ve received messages from Arnie (aka Terminator) and Clint (aka Dirty Harry). This makes the endless political telemarketing slightly more interesting. I still find it annoying.
San Francisco is known for fog, not for warm weather. However, we’ve been having a heat wave. I can’t handle heat. In response to this heat wave, I’ve spent the last two days locked in the one room in the house that has air conditioning. I can’t leave the room until things cool down.
I’m going stir crazy. While I like Bollywood, even I have limits. In the past two days, I’ve watched Shaan, Be-Sharam, Tarzan (the really awful 1982 version), Don: The Chase Begins and one non-Bollywood movie: The Devil Wears Prada. I need a break. The fog is supposed to return tonight.
