And a Keifer Sutherland's voice thing.

The phrase "I would pay to see him read the phone book" was invented for Keifer, I think.

House: At the end, when Tritter says "that deal is off the table," I literally threw my BK cup at the tv. (Aimed too high and took out the Christmas decorations on top, btw. Those wooden penguins never saw it coming.) Where are the lawyers to call shenanigans on all this procedural nonsense?? I don't see how anything that Tritter's done qualifies as correct or legal. I hope he's got a horrible crotch rot and dies because House is in jail.

P.S., House: I can't believe I forgot about emo!House! He resorts to cutting?! Will he be writing painful song lyrics in the rain next? ION, I love the actress who played the midget. She's been getting a lot of guest spots in various places recently, and she's good.

The Humping Dog USB key is a memory stick shaped like a wee doggy that mounts your laptop; when supplied with power through the USB, a mechanism in his hindquarters in activated so that he engages in wild coitus with the cold, unyielding plastic of your machine.

Worksafe. Also, cute little USB lizards that attach to the top of your laptop screen and do lizard stuff....

Whew, finally caught up. Congrats on safe returns and mac-ness, msbelle!!!

Sorry I missed the creepy Xmas/Fairy Tale convo, but this exchange:

THEY EAT THEIR FATHER. You're not right.

Oh, pshaw. They eat a duck. (Or possibly it was a goose?) It's not like they get their hands cut off or anything.

Makes me wonder if the father's name was Timothy.

I mean, sure, most of her life people will only know her as Cindy Wu.

But they'll call her Cindy Lou at some point anyway (I mean, right? Doesn't every Cindy get called Cindy Lou on occaision?), and that will be really really funny.

Yes. My middle and maiden and married names sound nothing like any name having anything to do with names/words like Lou and Who.

My parents' neighbors have called me "Cindy Lou," for my entire life, and their doing so didn't have anything to do with the Dr. Seuss character. My mother's former secretary has always called me Cindy Lou Hoo. Kids have always called me it (when I was a kid, and now that I'm not). Adults have always called me it. Boyfriends called me it. My husband will call me it. Each year, my kids bubble over with delight when her name is said, in The Grinch.

It's better to embrace it, than get your knickers in a twist over it.

Yeah, like the kid who was named Donald Duck - he eventually shot himself. (According to Paul Harvey.......... good day.)

mac is showing he is a very bright boy. The commercial thing, not the barney. The barney we'll call a quirk.

I'm 50% less stupid this morning. The other 50, well, mornings aren't my strong point under any circumstances. Can I go back to bed please?

You need an IV coffee thingie. Then you could go back to sleep, and then wake up wide awake.

Unfortunately, I do not do well on caffeine. I'd wake up jumpy and twitchy with no attention span. What I need is for the rest of the world not to demand my presence before noon.

I know what I want for Cephalopodmas: Avenging Unicorn Play Set

By far one of my favorite new items is their “Avenging Unicorn Play Set” which comes with 4 intercangable horns that can be used to impale a mime, a new age/hippie girl and a businessman. I noticed on Flickr that Brian Walsh recently came across an Avenging Unicorn Play Set as well at a store in Oregon.

Everyone wants an imaginary unicorn friend that they can call forth to smite their enemies. The Avenging Unicorn Play Set has everything you need to use the power of the unicorn to rid your life of irritations. Put the posable, 3-3/4” tall, hard vinyl unicorn on a flat surface and then impale one of three 3-1/8” tall, soft vinyl figures included (businessman/boss, new age lady and mime). Also includes four interchangeable horns (classic spiral, chrome, glow and pearlescent).

Also, “Good vs. Evil Unicorns Play Set” and “Cold War Unicorns Play Set”

The Cold War Unicorns Play Set allows you to play out the intense struggle between two global superpowers in the majestic fantasy world of the Unicorn! Can the Communist Unicorn’s horn of classless social structure hold up against the Freedom Unicorn’s hooves of capitalist opportunity? Each hard vinyl unicorn is 3-3/4" tall with articulated joints for all sorts of dramatic poses.
