When the power came back on after 8:30 last night, one of my "me and the kids" plans had been scuttled. We have rented "Duck Soup" by the Marx Brothers on NetFlix, and I'm planning on dropping it on them some night, and we'll sit together and watch it. Last night would have been perfect, except, well, you know, no power.

Hopefully sometime this week we can have our "old-time movie night" and watch this, and see how it goes.

Yeah, we played Scrabble last night. We have a VERY old version of the game, from my parents.

Cool, an English to Morse Code translator.

Or, actually, in any way.

It's a trap, I'm telling you. It is a bakery chef's evil plot to mess up your clothes. And it is unstoppable!

I've got the Haydn thing going on with the hair over my ears now, and it ain't a wig. Too much trouble to try to have long hair.

I have forgotten almost anything I might have somehow accidentally learned about THE POETS in my education, but thanks to this web site, I can impress, as long as I can access it before having to say anything about poetry.

That there's room for a successful "reality" contest television show, where contestants create quality Halloween costumes for less than $60. Every week could be a theme - superhero, horror movie, occupational, historical figure - hell, I don't care, but they can't do any worse than some of the stuff out there.

Automatically voted off if they come up with this, though.

Sometimes I can really annoy my wife with my unexpected "jumping" into a picture...

I can't imagine the personality that would choose to pay for this as a costume...

If you're ever at our house, and we serve you a wine that has this label, then you should know that we really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really like you. Like, like you more than we like ourselves... this stuff is over a couple hundred bucks a bottle...

But someday I want to taste it. C'mon rich bloggers, invite us over to share a bottle!

McCain/Palin is ruining the national memory of an enjoyable television western.

I am surprised. Apparently I am one of the few bloggers carrying the day for the vast majority of human beings that can't stand eggplant. Science has shown that over 98% of the human population have an enzymatic reaction to eggplant which can cause, among other things, nasal mucus glow and the feared rectal thud syndrome. But I did manage to find a few bloggers brave enough to battle against the Unified Eggplant Syndicate.

I think I'm going to get this underwear

I guess furnace companies must make a lot of money in Alaska.

Guppies:

I have a butt load of guppies that my slider just won't eat. They keep reproducing, but he's not eating them, so it's kind of getting out of control. I got them as feeders, but some of them have random colors on their fins and all. So I guess feeder or tank guppies :) What do you have?

Oh, those Brazilians...

Today is the G-rated version, tomorrow will be the PG-13 or soft R version.

And... no, sometimes I just don't explain why I post what I post. That's like my blog secret sauce, seemingly random posts for no apparent reason. That's why thousands and thousands of people visit this blog every decade.

For nuns?

And these two doofuses delivered. Possum?

I predict that sometime tomorrow, Lauren Holly will make the top 100 of Google Hot Trends.

In another daring prediction, I will say that it WON'T BE for her effort in "The Chumscrubber".

It can be quite surprising how many different items have the same model number. For example, FL1008.

Why, International Swingers Day is August 16th 2008.

When is International Fuddy Duddy Day? C'mon, we want to party...

What is your YouTube name.
Tell me.
Now.

What is the most fun beach in the Tuscany region?

I just have to wonder how well The Mothman Festival is going to do in an era of $4.00 plus gallons of gasoline. Plus, I hadn't even heard of this West Virginia story before, but stumbled across it when I was looking at other web sites for a local retired entomologist.

But I am glad to find out...

MOTHMAN DOES NOT KILL PEOPLE

Whew.

Eight year olds will be asking the question:

Grandma, what is this i-mod stuff? What did you use it for?

To keep the sun out of eyes and off head.
To hide a bad haircut.
To hide a lack of hair.
To promote something.
Something else?

The things you learn from Google Trends.

Jen Moss, Ashland's Naked Lady, needs to negotiate next time a bit more.

Jen Moss, a.k.a. Ashland's Naked Lady, has agreed to abide by the Chamber of Commerce's mandate that she wear clothes if she wants to participate in the Fourth of July parade.

"It's not that I like it, but I'm being realistic," she said. "I figured it would probably happen."

Moss, 33, said she moved to Ashland in May because of its liberal public nudity law. She said she will wear a bikini while Rollerblading and blowing a conch shell during the parade. She anticipates about 10 people walking and biking with her beating drums and holding signs of peace.

"It's unfortunate that on the day Americans are celebrating their civil liberties, mine are being taken away," she said.

Moss caused a stir when she announced in a Craigslist posting that she planned to lead a group of in-line skaters during the parade "wearing only a hemp G-string and blowing a conch shell."

However, parade chair Jim Kidd said he didn't think someone in the parade who is topless or nearly naked is appropriate for a family audience.

Perhaps there's a moneymaking opportunity here. Jen, here's an example...

Pennsylvania's Chambers of Commerce, in order to prevent my participating in the buff at the multitude of events that take place around the Commonwealth each year, you should pay a fee. Call it PSoTD Nudity Insurance. For $5, I will not appear at your event naked. It's surely worth $5 to avoid that, isn't it?

Fireflies, also called Lightning Bugs, light up a magical evening. Welcome! You've just discovered the amazing Firefly Magic® Firefly Lights that have been developed to accurately recreate the life-like flashing, flickering, and fading of Mother Nature's real fireflies in your yard, garden, or home... all year long. So special and realistic are these patented and award winning electronic firefly lights that they're used by Universities for conduct firefly research. In addition, Firefly Magic® Firefly Lights are used in theme parks, natural science museums, hotels, restaurants, shopping centers, on stage, and in movies to accurately replicate the real look and feel of Mother Nature's fireflies.

Kinda unique in the political career field: Building Maintenance/Support Supervisor. McCain's hiring!
