It's Just Plain Stupid! (But fun!!)

Sunday night I never got to post this. I did try, but lost the whole post due to my negligence. I had the whole thing typed up and lost it as I tried to review what I had written. I'll try again. It was never meant to be on Sunday night... (In retrospect, I had more fun writing this one.)

Do People Really Buy These Things??

I can vouch that people do shop here! I have absolute proof.

I came home from work a few weeks ago and low and behold, what do I find on my countertop, but this odd little fellow ,courtesy of stupid.com, hand picked by Lisa, and paid for with her own hard-earned money. (She has a lot of important expenses.) I was pretty upset with the purchase. She didn't ask me first of all, and I thought she should have gotten the maroon one with the yellow base... my sarcasm comes through.

Sunday night we had hamburgers and octodogs. I was in charge of the hambugers, and Lisa was in charge of the octodogs.

The following is a short, but graphic essay of the event. Children, vegetarians, those of you with weak hearts, and Dachshund owners please turn away.
