Viking kittens.. and Happy Birthday to theBman

Okay.. if you have not seen the viking kittens yet.. you have missed out. On the other hand.. if you have not seen them yet.. you can still listen to Led Zeppelin's 'Immigrant Song' without seeing kittens in your head. Either way.. click on the picture so you can enjoy this wonderful contribution to web crazy.

Today is my kidling's birthday. I probably should quit calling him kidling since he is taller than I am now, but old habits die hard. So anywho... Happy Birthday to TheBMan. He is fourteen today. I am a pushover Mom.. I let him stay home so he could play video games all day and just enjoy his birthday. =]

Happy Tuesday to everyone else!

Love y'all. *smooches*

The Bathtub Test

During a visit to the mental asylum, I asked the director, "How do you determine whether or not a patient should be institutionalized?"

'Well,' said the Director, 'we fill up a bathtub, then we offer a teaspoon, a teacup and a bucket to the patient and ask him or her to empty the bathtub.'

'Oh, I understand,' I said. 'A normal person would use the bucket because it's bigger than the spoon or the teacup.'

'No.' said the Director, 'A normal person would pull the plug. Do you want a bed near the window?'

*falls over giggling* Do you want the bed next to mine? Yep.. I was sure it was the bucket too. Thanks to Mom for sending this one.

Love y'as! *smooches*

Not for the Squeamish!!!

At times nature can be cruel, but there is also a raw beauty, and even a certain justice manifested within that cruelty. The alligator, one of the oldest and ultimate predators, normally considered the "apex predator" in it's natural eco-system, can still fall victim to implemented “team work” strategy, made possible due to the tight knit social structure and “survival of the fittest pack mentality”, bred into the canines over the last several hundreds of years by natural selection. See the attached remarkable photograph courtesy of Nature Magazine.

Note that the Alpha dog has a muzzle hold on the gator preventing it from breathing, while the remainder of the pack prevents the beast from rolling. Not for the squeamish!

Friday Funnies: Warning: Don't Leave Children Alone With Dogs!

WARNING: Don't Leave Children Alone With Dogs!!!

If you are an owner of a dog that belongs to a 'dangerous breed' category and you also have a small child please take this as a warning. Don't leave your dog with the child unattended under any circumstances.

Only a little moment was enough for the following to happen. See the photo below....

Canadian Currency

Darned clever these Canadians!

Perhaps America and Europe should consider changing their currencies too.

Due to the global war on terrorism, many terrorist organizations have had their finances frozen. Consequently, they have resorted to counterfeiting.

The Canadians have decided to redesign their currency to prevent the radical Muslims from even touching it! It is also hoped that this will have a positive effect on tourism:

Muslim terrorists have to kill themselves if they see a naked woman.

Those Canadians always find the solution!

Must be the pure water up there in the North.

*falls over giggling* Isn't that great?! I had to share this one with y'all.

Love y'as! *smooches*

Wordless Wednesday... sorta.

Due to the climate of political correctness now pervading America Kentuckians, Tennesseans and West Virginians will no longer be referred to as 'HILLBILLIES.' - You must now refer to them as APPALACHIAN-AMERICANS.


HOW TO SPEAK ABOUT WOMEN AND BE POLITICALLY CORRECT:


1. She is not a 'BABE' or a 'CHICK' - She is a ' BREASTED AMERICAN.'


2. She is not 'EASY' - She is 'HORIZONTALLY ACCESSIBLE.'


3. She is not a 'DUMB BLONDE' - She is a 'LIGHT-HAIRED DETOUR OFF THE INFORMATION SUPERHIGHWAY.'


4. She has not 'BEEN AROUND' - She is a 'PREVIOUSLY-ENJOYED COMPANION.'


5. She does not 'NAG' you - She becomes ' VERBALLY REPETITIVE.'


6. She is not a 'TWO-BIT HOOKER'- She is a ' LOW COST PROVIDER.'

HOW TO SPEAK ABOUT MEN AND BE POLITICALLY CORRECT:

1. He does not have a 'BEER GUT' - He has developed a 'LIQUID GRAIN STORAGE FACILITY.'


2. He is not a 'BAD DANCER' - He is ' OVERLY CAUCASIAN.'


3. He does not 'GET LOST ALL THE TIME' - He ' INVESTIGATES ALTERNATIVE DESTINATIONS.'


4. He is not 'BALDING' - He is in 'FOLLICLE REGRESSION.'


5. He does not act like a 'TOTAL ASS' - He develops a case of RECTAL-CRANIAL INVERSION.'


6. It's not his 'CRACK' you see hanging out of his pants - It's 'REAR CLEAVAGE.'

Recipes: Smart or Sinful

Okies.. Shel and Meesh have been dieting, and doing this weekend recipe thing. So in the spirit of being supportive, and hellful as I so often am, I am going to put up a few recipes I like this week. One of my favorite veggies is broccoli, so I thought I would do two recipes using it as the main ingredient. Technically they are the same recipe. One is the WW version, and the other is the full flavour recipe. It is nice to know I can enjoy it either way. =]


The Smart

Broccoli Casserole

1 1/2 cups shredded nonfat or reduced-fat sharp Cheddar cheese
1 3/4 cups dry curd or nonfat cottage cheese
1/3 cup fat-free egg substitute
1/3 cup finely chopped onion
2 packages (10 ounces each) frozen chopped broccoli, thawed and drained
2 Tbsp unbleached flour
1/4 tsp ground white pepper
3 Tbsp finely ground fat-free whole-wheat cracker crumbs

Set aside 1/2 cup of the grated Cheddar cheese. Combine the rest of the cheese and all of the remaining ingredients except for the cracker crumbs in a large bowl, and stir to mix well.

Coat a 2 1/2 quart casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray. Place the broccoli mixture in the dish, sprinkle with the cracker crumbs, and spread the reserved cheese over the top.

Bake at 350 degrees for 50 minutes or until the top is golden brown. Let sit for 5 minutes before serving.

12 servings , 1.5 POINTS each, Serving size: 2/3 cup

The Sinful

Broccoli Cornbread

2 sticks (1 cup) margarine or butter
2 packages Jiffy cornbread mix
1 10-oz package frozen chopped broccoli, thawed but not drained
1 onion chopped
1 carton (10-12 oz) cottage cheese
4 eggs
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Melt butter in a 9 X 13 pan.

Mix together all other ingredients except cheddar cheese. Pour batter over butter.

Bake at 375 for 25 minutes or until lightly brown. Sprinkle with cheddar cheese and bake for another 5 minutes or until cheese is melted and bread is brown.

Yup.. I have had both, and I know they are both good. I know which one I prefer, but I am willing to do the substitution in order to be healthy. I hope you all enjoy.

Love y'all. *smooches*

Just.. bored.

I was bored.. so I figured I would give this meme a try. I thought it actually came out pretty cool. =]


1. Go to Wikipedia. Hit "random." The first random Wikipedia article you get is the name of your band.

2. Go to Random Quotations. The last four or five words of the very last quote of the page is the title of your first album.

3. Go to Flickr and click on "explore the last seven days." The third picture, no matter what it is, will be your album cover.

4. Use photoshop or a similar program to put it all together.Here's my album cover:

I would love to see some of you try it out. Enjoy!

*hugs*

Wordless Wednesday.. almost.

Happy Birthday Mom. Love you bunches. *huggles*
