ah...right then....
What kind of mind thinks up Gung Haggis Fat Choy? A Canadian one.
And let me make sure I understand this--and Catholics, do not snap at this, I'm not attacking the religion, just trying to understand the scary freak in charge now--Pope Benedict, already better known for being part of the Hitlerjurgen as a child, over his humanitarian policies, is now reinstating to Bishop-hood a Holocaust denier.
I'm not sure if there is ever a good time in religion and politics to slap the face of Israel like this, considering how highly armed they are; but even more important is the issue of perception, yet again--do Catholics worldwide need any more conflict points with Jews? Besides which, that just makes the Roman Catholic Church look stupid--"No, we aren't supporting his views in the least, just his right to hear confessions, teach his congregation and lead the priests under him with a compassionate hand."
Riiiight. While denying the Holocaust. Peachy.
So, Obama's been pushing forward to start what are looking like massive reforms, which would have been enough to deal with, but no, Ty had to come out with two girl dolls--BeanieGirls, or something--that look fairly close to the Presidential twins. And Michelle Obama is LIVID.
This is not the first time that people have wigged out over Presidential spawn and made tributes. But by and large those have been more sedate than this one--and this one Ty is just all sorts of proud over, and doesn't get the point. Should be interesting to see how that one turns out.
I am meanwhile morbidly amused that Youngest Child, two days ago, came in enraged and baldly stated he was grounded for the next two days. When I asked why--as he was putting away styrofoam leftover containers in the fridge--he said it was because his brother was an ass.
Since that time, he's been downstairs nearly constantly, watching TV. No chores, no cleaning, no running errands for the upstairs folk. Some grounding.
Watch some slow-motion life.
Stephen Lynch has some odd concepts on superheroes.
Simple...luck potion...for...beginners...sorry, had problems typing that out because of the level of baffle. I read this aloud to Cat and she gave me the big eyes and said, "Where do you find these sites?? What the hell were you looking for?"
What really made me giggle? The line that says, "Top up if you need to!" Like you're a car, and you can just get half a gallon of magic to keep you going until payday.
Divination is tricky enough without having any extra doubts or weirdnesses attached.
*coughs* Now, I will say this in her defense: That would work as a cleansing. It's a pretty extreme cleansing, sure, and really--burying it in the garden?? Come on, now!
But...it would work.
Still, though. The luck spell. Is just magic on crack.
