A picture is worth a 1,000 words

Or 10,000 lakes.

Apparently Michelle Bachmann said she’d leave the state if this passed.  I can’t wait to see the moving trucks arrive.  I wonder where she’ll go?

It’s good to laugh to keep from crying…

and honestly, I don’t remember the last time I laughed so often and so hard at anything, much less at a subject that has hit Kelly and I personally so very, very hard.  And the economy has definitely hit Kelly and I quite hard in the past few years.

Thank you, Stephen Colbert.

I don’t believe this needs any explanation

At all.

Happy Easter?

Happy Valentine’s Day

Most of you know that I’m not a big Valentine’s Day fan.  Despite the fact that I’m married I’m still not a big fan.  I think today is mostly about Hallmark and chocolate companies making money and about making people feel guilty about having to buy some over-hyped and over-expensive gift for someone else.  It’s also death for a relationship that’s beginning or in trouble.

That being said, there’s nothing like cute animals and Grumpy Cat to make me smile.  So, I bring you our Valentine.  This year I didn’t even put it together in the spirit of the Valentine’s Day Massacre!  Progress?

Some things to make you happy as January comes to a close

And as you all know, as January ends we enter the doldrums of winter.  We’re experiencing a freak break in the cold with temps in the 50′s today.  But it will get freezing again.  I’m still holding out hope for snow, but until then, let these stories make you smile.  And, yes, I know January ends tomorrow.  Nyah.

How to market the end of the world

This whole, “OMG the world is going to end on 12/21/12 !!11!!!1!”… “or maybe not” thing has made both of us a little testy.  Geoff has mentioned in the past in references to other Doomsday predictions that also went nowhere that he was tempted to create Geoffrey’s Apocalyptic Passover Service, LLC.

He’s beginning to regret that he didn’t.

Christmas shopping for the young woman in your life

Looking for the right gift for the young woman in your life that isn’t pink and frilly?  That’s doesn’t teach her that all princesses need to be rescued by the prince?  Want her to learn more about science and bugs and that making mud pies and getting dirty is OK?

I thought so.

The evidence is in…

and clearly, the world is indeed going to end this month.  Because we now know that the rapture did in fact take place.

Behold… the evidence I found in Beacon Hill yesterday.
