"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

I'm not sure the wingnuttiest of my wingnutty friends would support that law. Of course my wingnut tolerance only goes so far.

If someone wants a little more upbeat political news, Scott Brown comes under fire for helping kill Republican fillibuster on jobs bill.

It's shallow of me to be extra glad it was the cute Senator who decided to break ranks with his party on a matter of principle, isn't it?

Possible new rule for bake sales in NYC public schools: they can only sell foods from an approved list, which includes a bunch of packaged things, including two kinds of Doritos and one flavor of Pop-Tarts, but homemade stuff is not allowed. The goal is to combat childhood obesity. [link]

OMG, Matt, somehow we ended up on top of each other...what a waste for you!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I totally want one of these:

Scare neighbors with a gigantic T-Rex statue

Normally, I'd say that lawn ornaments are lame. But this T-Rex is no normal lawn ornament. Standing 11 feet high and stretching out 22 feet long, this amazing specimen is guaranteed to make all the neighborhood kids think you're the coolest guy in the world while simultaneously making all their parents forbid them from coming near your yard. And isn't that what lawn ornaments are all about?

This bad boy can be yours for a mere $7,500. What are you waiting for?!

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

Scare neighbors with a gigantic T-Rex statue

Want! Of course, I used to gaze with hopeless envy at the concrete Sinclair gas brontosaurus a guy in Nashville had in his front yard.

Speaking of hopeless envy, msbelle's "one of the closets in my bedroom" also had that effect on me. My house has one three-foot-wide closet with two-foot-wide door per bedroom.

From the comments on that bake sale article. (The reason given for banning homemade baked goods is that they don't have standard portion sizes and verified calorie counts.) A commenter says:

How would you know if the home goods were made in a safe, sterile environment? I would never allow my child or any member of my family take food made in a strangers home.

Apparently it's a miracle that I survived my twelve years of public school bake sales.
