Oh! Possum!
There was a huge possum in our backyard the other day. No matter what I did I couldn't spook it.

Hot Slut Of The Day!
I know it's just plain immature of me to snicker but who can't???
The Harry Baals Government Center in Fort Wayne, Indiana! This is more of a wishful thinking Hot Slut since the new civic building in Fort Wayne hasn't officially been declared as a tribute to Harry Baals even though over 10,000 residents want to make this happen! But the city isn't exactly feeling the thirst for Harry Baals and they're trying to get out of plastering his beautiful name over the front of their new building. Harry Baals HATERS! No, this Harry Baals controversy is not sponsored by the writing team of SNL.
Harry Baals was the city's longest serving mayor in the 1930s and many fair citizens of Fort Wayne still get a warm tingle in their hearts when thinking about Harry Baals. Fort Wayne already has a Harry Baals Drive (please tell me it's right below White Shaft Way), but the city is afraid they'll really become the 'butt' of jokes if they name the government building after him too. Or maybe they just really don't want John Travolta trolling around their building with a can of edible shaving cream.
The city says it's probably not going to happen, but we all should stand up for Harry Baals anyway. If we don't! Who will? (Answer: Even in this age of waxing and plucking, a lot of sluts will still stand up, kneel under or get on Harry Baals). Hopefully, the city gets the NADS out of their brains, comes to their senses and hears the voice of the people! The voice that is shouting for Harry Baals! Just ask the anchor at the beginning of this clip. Her eyes are going CRAZY for Harry Baals.

Hello Kitty Anatomy Doll
Yes, this is just weird.
What are those supposed to be in her tummy?
Ok, this is just weird. We've seen Hello Kitty EVERYTHING but now there's a medical doll that shows the vinyl doll's insides titled 'Anatomy'
Medicom Toy parterned with a Dr Romanelli for the “Anatomy” doll with a cut-out to show Hello Kitty's internal organs. And even her guts are cute, with smiles and bows, in bright, cheerful colors. I'd worry if pre-med students were using this doll, othewise they would be looking for my purple kidney with a pink bow.
For everything Hello Kitty, check out Sanrio.
Shoot The Web With M&Ms
This is the coolest thing! I downloaded it on the computer at work, good fun.
Yeah, this is some viral marketing BS but it is, to be fair, fun. M&Ms in Denmark have prepared a violent game involving two M&Ms who move through the Internet, destroying things like a pair of bulbous Natural Born Killers.
How does it work? It’s basically a bookmarklet available here that you drag to your bookmarks bar and run when you hit a particularly graphics-heavy web page. Then these two mini-Kalis will fly through your web page, laying waste to all that exists.
And remember, kids, next time you think of M&Ms you should think of intergalactic warfare.

Star Trek Interactive Tribbles
Sooo awesome! Hahaha! This was one of my favorite episodes.
Are you a full fledged Trekkie at heart, and want to own all the merchandise possible on your meager wages? The Star Trek Interactive Tribbles might just be the ticket for you this season, as these adorable furry beasties from the final frontier will cost anywhere from $14.99 to $19.99.Just some background information on Tribbles for those who do not follow the sci-fi series – an enterprising trader named Cyrano Jones in the 23rd century procured an interesting and adorable little creature, where they helped people (at least most humanoids) feel calmer, and were known as tribbles.
These tribbles, however, outdo rabbits when it comes to procreation, and proved to be quite a challenge to contain since they multiply at an incredible pace. We’re talking about filling up a whole cargo hold in just three days! Good to know the one you purchased is “genetically altered” (some say manufactured) to be sterile, and you need not rush to the nearest Ikea store to buy new wardrobes and store these away.
Coming in 12″ and 6″ sizes, they are powered by AA and AAA batteries respectively, making Tribble sounds when jostled. To turn off their sound making ability, just flip a switch and you’re good to go.
Movie of the Week
This is an older movie but a "cool" take on the Romeo and Juliet theme. It's kind of a cute romantic comedy but with modern music to appeal to the young crowd. Starring Heath Ledger in his younger days, you can see how he was just naturally talented in any roll he played. Enjoy!

Bear Getting His Teeth Brushed
Hee hee. Bear doesn't look like he's enjoying it very much. Maybe they should get the liver flavored paste next time. Then again I think Bear's teeth are whiter than mine.

Hachi: A Dog's Tale
I realize I haven't posted any movies on my Friday Flick blog posts. I guess I just ran out of movies to post. So I am going to expand my genre to movies I enjoy in general. I was going to wait until Friday to post this but I enjoyed this movie more than I thought I would.
As you all know I'm a sucker for a good tear jerker movie. This is based on a true story of a dog in Japan. This obviously is an American version of the story. The characters were mediocre at best but really it's all about the dog.

Konapun
This is reposted from my friend Kerwin's blog. Hilarious! Of course the piggy in me is wondering how it all tastes.
Konapun: "Got this from Laura...
I remember when I was a kid, they had this oven for little girls that really worked, but that's nothing compared to the Konapun!

Toilet Plunger: For Your Phone
I know the perfect person to get this for.... lmao!
Instead of spending real money for an iPhone stand, get yourself one of these practical phone plungers for $15 bucks.
You can conveniently watch your videos, secure in the knowledge that probably no one else on this continent owns one. Or wants one.

Have Five Fingers Gone Too Far? Check Out This Year’s Casual Lineup
Somehow this all seems a little disturbing to me. I don't know about y'all. Yeesh.
There’s a new religion brewing in the athletic milieu that requisites fitting foot condoms around the phalanges. You know what I’m talking about: the Five Fingers phenomenon. Not dissimilar to the once popular Crocs, Vibram banks on being different as a means of selling shoes. What’s different about Five Fingers is nothing entirely new, in fact, it dates back to thousands of years ago: perambulating barefoot. While it makes sense to use your natural foot articulation to cushion the blow from today’s hard surfaces, Vibram may have taken it a bit too far with this year’s Five Fingers, with what they are calling “Casual Shoes”.
Don’t get me wrong, there is nothing better than running/weight lifting in Five Fingers, but frankly the style is daft. Tony Post, the company’s CEO says, “Our new casual footwear introductions [offer] dedicated consumers more alternatives for all aspects of their daily lives.” Their customers can now have winter boots, club shoes and tennis shoes. Next year, I hope they don’t come out with the business shoe.
The TrekLS is $140 and is made with kangaroo leather, complete with shoe laces and a loop, swoop and pull. They look really good, right up ’til about the toes.
Next they have the Bormio: an ankle-high, black zip-up boot also made of kangaroo, priced at $160.
Women get their own winter boot (pictured above), or “cold-weather lifestyle boot.” It runs all the way up the calf and has a thicker midsole for cushioning and warmth. Not sure if the 5.5mm midsole detracts from the original minimalistic goals.
Last but not least, there is the $100 Speed model. It looks like a classic running shoe, including colored mesh in white, black or blue.
It’s not like these can’t catch on, we’ve seen worse in the past. It’s just that I think the company has gone beyond their original goal of healthy excercise and into the realm of “let’s make profits.” Hopefully, it doesn’t compromise the original mission. And, it just might if sorority girls begin to trade in their UGGs for these uglies.
Star Trek Potato Heads To Boldly Go Where No Potato Head Has Gone Before (sorry, had to)
Haha! That's hilarious! I love me some Star Trek.

Yet Another Snow storm Hits the Wormy Apple
This is down my block. Walked to the train this morning as there were no busses.
FIre hydrant around the corner. It looks like a little gnome. Hehe.
Benches by P.S. 20
Here's the top of the 7 train in the station.
Can we stop with the snow already??? Sheesh.

Death Star Cookie Jar
Hehe, here you go Star Wars fans.
The Death Star is a symbol of the Empire’s power in the Star Wars universe, and often brings with it a sense of dread to all inhabitants on planets of which comes into the purview of the Death Star. Nice to know that the wonders of miniaturization has resulted in this rather delicious looking Death Star Cookie Jar, where this officially licensed ceramic sculpture will hold as many of your favorite cookies as it possibly can within its 12″ diameter of a body. While all the energy stored in those cookies will be unable to blow up a planet, at least it will send your appetite to the dogs once you’ve stuffed yourself with a few hundred grams of your favorite cookies. At $49.99 a pop, it is far cheaper than building an actual Death Star, and we would recommend to keep this out of reach of children lest their clumsy hands send it crashing down to earth.19 January 2011
Starbucks lets you pay for that Trenta with the iPhone in your shaking, overcaffeinated hands
I've already downloaded my app. Did you?
Expanding a trial that had already been underway in a few markets, Starbucks is now rolling out its Starbucks Card mobile app nationally with payment capability built-in, meaning you needn't reach into your wallet, pocketbook, or purse just because you're jonesing for that midday caffeine fix. Instead, you can fire up the app -- which supports the iPhone, iPod touch, and a number of BlackBerry models -- and hold up a barcode on the screen to a scanner in the store, at which point monies will be automagically deducted from your Starbucks Card account and transferred back to the mothership in exchange for high-octane brew. The circle of life, as it were. Follow the break for the full press release.

Face Mug looks different
Haha! This is hilarious. I think I might have to put this on my Christmas wish list. But then again you get half the coffee.... hmm.
Now look at this mug – it is definitely a totally different design from what you’ve seen before, as it will surely make your guests sit up whenever you serve them coffee with this. The Face Mug, as it is obviously and affectionately called, might cost a rather pricey $18, but at least it comes with a hungry mouth orifice that allows you to hang a cookie from it, making it ideal for serving milk as well as cookies, or you can always opt to throw in coffee and doughnuts if that’s your cup of tea (pun not intended). Of course, there is no provision made to contain those crumbs as you chew on the cookies, and it won’t be able to hold as much coffee as some of you might prefer. At least the white ceramic in which it comes in can be artistically painted over by the more enterprising of folks out there.
