You know, I have been calling her crazypants but I like Almond Joy much much better. It's more....respectful somehow.

thanks!

Yes there is a delicious irony in Almond Joy.

Rather like a wedding called on account of rain.

yes, and when questioned, you can say it's because she's so sweet. when she objects, you can say you didn't think she'd rather be known for her Mounds.

12-12-12 is a "holy day" so this guy carved a pentagram in his 6-year-old son's back.

Quote:
A Richland Hills man allegedly carved a pentagram into his 6-year-old son’s back with a box cutter before smearing blood around the doorway to his home early Wednesday morning.

Brent Troy Bartel, 39, called 911 to report the incident and matter-of-factly told the dispatcher that he’d “shed some innocent blood” because “it’s a holy day.” Police arrested Bartel on a charge of aggravated assault on a family member with a deadly weapon. He was being held at Quad-Cities Jail in North Richland Hills in lieu of $500,000 bail.

“There have been very few things in my career that would render me speechless. This was one of them,” said Sgt. Nathan Stringer, a Richland Hills police spokesman. “I don’t know what would possess somebody to hold down a 6-year-old and carve something into him.”

Actually it might have be a good deal for the kid. It didn't sound like he was seriously hurt, and maybe this will keep that crazy bastard away from him before he's sacrificed.

the guy is clearly mentally ill.

sometimes it's hard to tell the difference.

Again, a Simpson's ref.

Burns was in the pokey and a big black guy wanted to convert him to Christianity. The BBG told Burns to 'reject Satan!' and Burns answered 'Why can't you reject your guy?'


ah, good times. Love that show. Absolutely love it.

A herpetological two-for.

Mummy, I found these eggs in the garden so I put them in a plastic box in my closet....

http://www.abc.net.au/news/2012-12-2...snakes/4438746

#$%&ing eastern brown snakes.

Mummy, at the childcare centre today, they wouldn't let us in!

http://www.abc.net.au/news/2012-12-2...centre/4439972

Aww, just a dozen baby pythons...
