Photo above via Moonbattery. It would be a good ad for Dunkin Donuts. (Yes, that is The Kid from Brooklyn.) Starbucks seems to be in trouble.

Went to see Slumdog last night, but both seatings were sold out.

Obama's attack on Rush. Good for Rush. His plan is working. Says Insty:

WERE OBAMA�S ATTACKS ON LIMBAUGH AND FOX A MISTAKE? �Beyond the absurdity of a Democrat barking orders at his political opposition, he�s especially foolish to air his fear of Limbaugh and talk radio in a public setting.�

Plus this: �I�m picturing Rush delirious with glee, pacing the cavernous rooms of his mansion, booming out monologues to his kitty cat Pumpkin, as he waits for Monday noon to finally roll around. This will be good.�

Slumdog is stunning.
Highly recommend the big screen.

Starbucks seems to be in trouble. Just yesterday, I saw a Starbucks TV commercial. Except it really had nothing to do with coffee. It was touting social activism of one kind or another. I can't really remember what it was, because what was running through my mind is, Just sell coffee... Just sell coffee... Just sell coffee....

If they just sell coffee, they're gonna have to cut prices about 70%. To keep that 70%, they have to convince you that simply by buying a cup of their coffee, you can be a brave & magnificent Hero of the World.

FW you've got some bark there! But you're right! It's only a tree. To me this is not acceptable.

Guys! Would you please stop teasing us with with photos such as the one in this post. Let's get straight to business and post some photos of bush. All kinds of bush. (Ornamental bush wil be fine, but none of these wild, unkempt things--just well pruned beauties). Thanks.

Jephnol,

I didn't see you in church this morning.

It is pervs such as yourself and all of your creations that make our hosts put up such that offends to say nothing of causing talk about bushes when we know you are talking about a shaved va-joy-joy. Shameful, just shameful.

#7 abigail on 2009-01-25 20:53 (Reply)

You idiot. It's 'va-jay-yay'. Bad enough we have to see one peeling in the woods you have to call it source of joy.

#7.1 Betsy on 2009-01-25 21:01 (Reply)

Who you callin idiot, bitch? At least Gaia approves and I bet you get about as much foreplay as that tree does. That's your problem.

#7.1.1 randolph on 2009-01-25 21:19 (Reply)

Girls! Stop this fighting over wood or we will be forced to cast witness upon succulent flesh despite all our efforts to stop it and your in-fighting does not help our cause to keep the men focused on matters of the world and away from fleshly delights which can be found in the romance section at the library so stop the nasty talk and regain composure for composure's sake as that is what we stand for and I am in line at Walmart in case you were wondering because I had to buy some lentils.

I never liked Starbucks coffee all that much, but if I wasn't near one of my preferred independent cafes, I would go with Starbucks. But in the past year, I find myself heading to Dunkin Donuts even when Starbucks is only a couple of doors away. DD still makes a good cup of coffee and when I want a bagel, the DD bagels beat those almost inedible cardboard Starbucks bagels hands down.

and, that tree is frightening.

#8 Dr X on 2009-01-25 20:56 (Reply)

I'm just wondering on how the tree will nurse her sapling's.

I didn't go to church this morning but I've been tentmaking since I saw that darned tree!

In the name of Giana please stop fighting. God created you from the bone of all men--you've read Genesis--stop fighting for goodness sake! You are flesh of our flesh, bone of our bone. You have been boned by all men!

Perv!? Non. God created you out of man's bone. You in turn give men a bone and they want to give it back to you. It's beautiful. God's plan. When God gave Eve Adam's bone they were married and it was good; and he boned her plenty, all over the garden. Temptation came and they ate the fruit from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil which God kind of lied about cause nobody died. But! And this is important: God didn't say it was a sin to look at the tree and that is all that's been going on here. We've been looking at a tree. No harm no foul.

Seriously, pray to God because ya'll need a good boning. I gotta' jet. I'm watching Zombie Strippers on the tube.

If that's stream-of-consciousness, you're damn good, Jephnol.
hahahahahaha..... 'tentmaking' 'You have been boned by all men!' Whatever, it's all funny.

That's the pure product of zero forethought.

Subject: Gynecologist's Assistant

Gynecologist's Assistant

A young man goes into the Job Center in Downtown Los Angeles, and sees
a card advertising for a Gynecologist's Assistant.

Interested, he goes to learn more; "Can you give me some more details?"
he asks the clerk.

The clerk pulls up the file and says, "The job entails getting the
ladies ready for the gynecologist. You have to help them out of their
underwear, lay them down and carefully wash their private regions, then
apply shaving foam and gently shave off the hair, then rub in soothing
oils so that they're ready for the gynecologist's examination. There's
an annual salary of $65,000, but you're going to have to go to
Albuquerque New Mexico . That's about 620 miles from here."

"Good grief, is that where the job is?"

"No sir --- that's where the end of the line is right now..."

Joe is walking down the road and he sees an unusual sight; there's a hearse rolling slowly down the street, behind it there is a man dressed in black walking a pit bull by a leash. Following the man, in single file, is a long line of men extending as far as the eye can see.

Joe walks up to the man with the dog and asks him what's going on and the guy says it's his wife's funeral. So Joe says that's awful and he asks how she died. The man in black looks down at his pit bull and says, "my dog killed her."

Joe thinks for a minute and says, "Hey, do you mind if I borrow your dog for a few days?" The guy says, "Get in line."

Two elderly British gents encounter one another at the club.

"Jones," says Smith, "...sorry to hear you've buried your wife."

"Yes, had to," replies Jones, "....dead, you know."

Two men, after playing golf, were changing clothes in the locker room. One man was shocked to see his friend struggling to put on a pair of pink, silk panties.
"Fred!", he asked, "How long have you been wearing those?".
"Ever since my wife found them under the front seat of the car", he replied.
