don't know what this means, but it can't be good...

Overheard from the other room, during bathtime tonight...

  fun in the sun...

We took the kids to the beach today. Now, I'm not much of a beach person. Which is strange, because my family went every year when we were kids, and I think I enjoyed it then. But somehow that enjoyment seems not to have trickled into my adulthood. I think we must have stopped going to the beach just before I reached puberty. I can tell this because on the rare occasion that I DO wind up going to a beach, I'm always surprised and delighted to find that there are half-naked women there. It just never occurs to me until I get there that there will be all kinds of almost-naked women, and when I get there... well, it's a nice little unexpected treat. "Oh, hey... look at that! I forgot about those! Whoo-hoo!"

  finger lickin' good...

As if anyone needed another good reason not to eat at Wendy's...

My favorite part of the article...

"[...] the woman, who asked officials not to identify her, is at minimal risk of contracting illnesses from the finger.

"It's an extremely low chance because the chili was cooked at a very high temperature that would have killed anything in the finger," Alexiou said. Still, she said health officials would ask the woman's doctor to test her blood "to make sure nothing got passed to her."

I'm sure that really puts her mind at ease. Yes, here at Wendy's we're always sure to cook our stray human body parts thoroughly, because food safety is our #1 concern!!  (posted by Dave at 4:24 PM || )

  oh yeah, "ooh! ahhh!", that's how it always starts, but then later there's the running and the screaming...

I'm no paleontologist, but THIS just does not seem possible. And you KNOW the scientists are going to try not to talk about the obvious implication, but come on. Some nut at that lab is sneaking home a tissue sample to try to impregnate his pet iguana right now!!  (posted by Dave at 10:32 PM || )

  it's a psalm, if you must know...

How to tell your daughter's religious school is starting to have an influence...

Her: Daddy, how do you spell "panteth"?
Me: Umm... what? (looks at paper... sees it has something to do with deer.) Do you mean "panther"?
Her: No... "panteth"!
Me: Honey, I don't think that's a word.
Her: You know, like in - "As the deer panteth after the water, so my soul longeth for thee.."?
Me: (blinks) Umm...oh. "P-A-N..."

I'm very afraid.  (posted by Dave at 1:41 PM || )
