I can’t help but recall the famous mirror scene in Duck Soup.

The cats saw that one, too, and covered it.

I’m fine thanks; who are you?

1. ”Oh, hi!  I’m a Christian with 30 million dollars.  Let’s see… AIDS, poverty, missions, starvation, illiteracy….Nope, I think I’ll keep gay people from marrying!”

2. I am not really a political person, but I seem to be unable to stop ranting about these goings on.  My sister and I have moved on from our “here come the Obamalypse” Facebook friends, abstinence-based sex-ed, and purity rings to scheming how to get fresh veg NOT drowned in cream-of-what-have-you sauces at Grandma’s Thanksgiving.

It was quite an effort to get Grandma’s permission to bring anything, but I am allowed one pumpkin pie.  J3 will offer “breakfast pastries.”  I will also be packing a keg of cran-grape for P, who is a fruit juice vampire.  Grandma makes wonderful things to eat and plenty of them, but they are of a mayonnaise-, bacon fat- and margarine-based nature, which gave us pause once we reached an accountable age. We’ll just have to break up the inevitable family drama with jogging and soccer.

On the non-self-absorbed front, we’re thankful she’s still around and willing to host, as family events are much pleasanter there.  Our poor family camps together in the rec room, while we married couples get the two bedrooms.  We’re going to turn one of them into a speakeasy with a password to get in.

KL and Assers, your own creepy crawly psychological wounds may be too fresh, so please enjoy this photo and read no further. Behold, the fiercely corded thighs of one Fernando Torres, Liverpool FC Striker extraordinaire:

Cheers. Now on to an interesting sort of website, for those times when you bend over to pick up the shampoo bottle off the shower floor, and a massive insect leaps up and threatens your honor.

What’s That Bug very kindly answers the question, “WHAT THE HELL IS THAT GET RID OF IT NOW!” They even have a much-diminished specimen of my own archenemy, the Crickets of the Apocalypse, native to basement apartments in wooded areas of northern NJ. Item:

These fuckers are BIG. And they jump even bigger. For approximate size, imagine a rocking horse for a squirrel. Their giant muscled thighs would give Nando up there a run for his money, and the fly fishing antennae and camo-skin don’t help, either.

Are you still shuddering? Me, too! In addition to the shoot-me-now specimens, What’s That Bug has some very interesting fellows such as these uberladybugs, apparently “red milkweed beetles:”

And that’s it for entomology. I’m sticking to etymology forthwith, which doesn’t make my skin crawl. And if any of these little bastards comes near me, I’ll throw an anvil at them.

i TOLD you thongs were evil.

Woman suing over thong injury

June 19: Macrida Patterson is suing Victoria’s Secret, claiming she was injured by one of their thongs. TODAY’s Meredith Vieira talks to Macrida and her lawyer, Jason Buccat, about the incident.

 http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21134540/vp/25258620#25258620

This sounds like a case that would come up on Ally McBeal.  That lawyer must be all of 15 years old. And he is SO PROUD of his Victoria’s Secret Angels joke.

If this infernal heat every breaks and our power ever comes back on, I would like to get back to baking some bread.

Michelle Malkin on Rachel Ray’s scarf.

Perhaps we should also ban the wearing of crosses, a symbol for which folks have been instigating holy wars for quite some time.

Michelle Malkin is a stupid cow.
