Picture Time
Lee Harvey and the Killers
Pope Not So Innocent…he infallibly knocked over my trash can.
I may have to start playing pool more often.
This is the strangest thing to find in a men’s room…in an IHOP.
Will do, Pepsi…I just hope I can find a girl at this Walmart to help me with that.
This is Marvel Comic’s new superhero I Wonder if It’s a Woman Man.
She obviously doesn’t know how to put together a snowman.
Sad but true
Choca Libre
I hear they are camping out in the parking lot for Black Friday sales because the bishops decided to let them have modern day conveniences.
The good thing about eating in the water is you no longer need to leave the table to piss.
Tragic Mike: a documentary of the evils of Hollywood and how fast your luck can change.
Pretty much. Thanks for putting up with me.

If 8 is true, I wonder how is veered from a circle to a square pyramid?
17 is probably true… gross, but likely true.
Tragic Mike, that’s a really creepy pic.
I just listened to a cassette this weekend. OLD SCHOOL, BABY!
I saw a commercial with the pyramids and I can’t remember the product but the guy looks at the building plans and I think they were supposed to be cubes instead.
Yes, 17 is true.
Tragic Mike is tragic indeed. I guess my pseudo-reference to Magic Mike didn’t work.
I’m looking at a stack of cassettes and so many have stuff I made back when I was a teen. I need to get one of those devices that converts cassettes into mp3s.
I believe 3, 5, 7, 9, 12, 15, 16, 17, 18 and 19 are true or should be true…the rest are false or should be false. 7 and 12 are no brainers – who would eat celery jello?
The ihop doll hanger is kinda creepy…
I shot a game of pool with a girl like that once…I’ll just say here that bent over a pool table is not the most attractive position for breast…makes em look like sausages hanging in a meat locker…my husband didn’t mind though =/
I thought it was a pretty good blog
you guessed correctly on 3, 5, 7, 9, 15, 17, and 19. I had read about celery Jello. It was intended to be used for salads.
I’ve never been good at pool but I’m willing to learn.
lol I love your graphics. I am too lazy to do the big 10. lol–sorry.
You are right, time to start playing pool again.
I watched The Hustler with Paul Newman and Jackie Gleason this weekend but I didn’t play any pool.
Knowing how to put together a snowman is not the rabbit’s problem. And on closer inspection it is not a rabbit at all, but a half-naked female with rabbit ears. So the real problem is an anachronistic Easter observance. Well, she’s doing the best she can. And she’s not even Christian.
Being from Wisconsin does weird things to us with the cold and the snow. There are weirdos out there that have fetishes for girls being naked in the snow. There’s also the Packers bikini girls.
4 is definitely true.
And to picture Hitler rocking it out to ac/dc….well, that’s an odd mental image of a different kind.
Celery-flavored jell-o — suddenly I have a new-found appreciation for the actual vegetable, since the jell-o version would have tasted more bland. That is, if t were a true statement.
One more thing: it would have been neat if 10 was a true statement and Hitler got to witness that piece of news.
Thank you for the amusing post!
Oh how I wish that #4 was true.
I always wondered what sort of modern music would Hitler have enjoyed. I bet he’d be into the heavy metal/punk scene since there are so many white supremacist groups.
They intended the celery Jello to be used for salads. It fell flat. Celery is really interesting because around here the Amish use it for weddings because they view it as a specialty. I was in the grocery store and I saw an Amish man load an entire grocery cart just with celery. They use it instead of flowers because they think flowers are a sign of vanity and aren’t good because you can’t eat them. They have celery on the tables instead of flowers. They also make a special celery soup.
#12 IS true! I did it there and got arrested!
Wow on 13…I don’t have trouble resisting those three things!
#11 made me snort-laugh!
The true-ones are: 3, 5, 7, 8, 9, 12, 15, 16, 18, 19.
Ah…but the bunny knows how to take a snowman down!
BEST BLOG OF ALL TIME!!!
I “rec” it, “like” it and give it an “Awesome MINI”!!!
Wait…I can’t do any of those things on Xanga 2.0.
HUGS!!!
well those people in Arkansas look for ways to arrest people all the time
I can’t believe 13 is true but I guess for some people it is addictive.
Well you are correct on 3, 5, 7, 9, 15, and 19
Yeah I really wish Xanga would get their act together and do something with this site.
RYC my purple theme: Thanks. I like that it looks like terrazo flooring or old fashioned linoleum. That color would look great in my bathroom!
I heard about the Ferris Bueller house. It was a cool place, but I don’t think that I can affort it. Hmm, that doll hangar. Summons up some weird images of what guys are doing in that restroom!
I would love to take a tour of that house but I’ve heard that some of those famous places that come up for sale require a fee just to look around. Michael Jordan’s Chicagoland mansion is up for sale and I believe that in order to view the grounds you have to put up $50,000
RYC my new faucet: I can imagine you lying under your sink and having your cats decide to lie on your chest! Well, maybe you could use them to wipe up water spills.
Lee Harvey and the Killers just cracked me up. Also, I don’t ever remember playing pool against any such scantly clad opponent. Even in my advanced age, I’d remember that.
I’ll give the quiz a shot… How much of our final grade will be based on this ?

you are correct on 3, 5, 7, 9, 13, 15, 17, and 19.
I watched a “documentary” about the other guy who shot Kennedy. I really don’t know what to think. I’m almost sure Oswald was involved but I don’t think he was alone.
