Cuteness Abounds!
Ah the sweetest thing! I love my new buddy Felinias! (see, I did manage to put you on my friend's list!) *smiles* She has some of the cutest things in her journal-like
Teacher Debbie Moon's first graders were discussing a picture of a family. One little boy in the picture had a different color hair than the other family members. One child suggested that he was adopted and a little said, "I know all about adoptions because I was adopted."
"What does it mean to be adopted?" asked another child.
"It means," said the , "that you grew in your mommy's heart instead of her tummy."

Whenever I'm disappointed with my spot in life, I stop and think about little Jamie Scott. Jamie was trying out for a part in a school play. His mother told me that he'd set his heart on being in it, though she feared he would not be chosen.. On the day the parts were awarded, I went with her to collect him after school. Jamie rushed up to her, eyes shining with pride and excitement. "Guess what Mom," he shouted, and then said those words that will remain a lesson to me: "I've been chosen to clap and cheer."

An Eye Witness Account from New York City, on a cold day in December: A little boy about 10 years old was standing before a shoe store on the roadway, barefooted, peering through the window, and shivering with cold.
A lady approached the boy and said, "My little fellow, why are you looking so earnestly in that window?"
"I was asking God to give me a pair of shoes," was the boy's reply. The lady took him by the hand and went into the store and asked the clerk to get half a dozen pairs of socks for the boy. She then asked if he could give her a basin of water and a towel. He quickly brought them to her. She took the little fellow to the back part of the store and, removing her gloves, knelt down, washed his little feet, and dried them with a towel. By this time the clerk had returned with the socks.. Placing a pair upon the boy's feet, she purchased him a pair of shoes. She tied up the remaining pairs of socks and gave them to him.
She patted him on the head and said, "No doubt, my little fellow, you feel more comfortable now?"
As she turned to go, the astonished lad caught her by the hand, and looking up in her face, with tears in his eyes, answered the question with these words: "Are you God's Wife?"
and this--
Things Never Say to a Cop...
1. I can't reach my license unless you hold my beer. (OK in Texas)
2. Sorry, Officer, I didn't realize my radar detector wasn't plugged in.
3.Aren't you the guy from the Village People?
4. Hey, you must've been doin' about 125 mph to keep up with me. Good job!
5. Are You Andy or Barney?
6. I thought you had to be in relatively good physical condition to be a police officer.
7. You're not gonna check the trunk, are you?
8. I pay your salary!
9. Gee, Officer! That's terrific. The last officer only gave me a warning, too!
10. Do you know why you pulled me over? Okay, just so one of us does.
11. I was trying to keep up with traffic. Yes, I know there are no other cars around. That's how far ahead of me they are.
12. When the Officer says "Gee Son....Your eyes look red, have you been drinking?"
You probably shouldn't respond with,"Gee Officer your eyes look glazed, have you been eating doughnuts?"
And these things are great too!
So cute! *laughs*

Ooh. A Halloween doll. Wonder what it'll be?

Freckles and Wrinkles
An elderly woman and her little grandson, whose face was
sprinkled with bright freckles, spent the day at the zoo. Lots of
children were waiting in line to get their cheeks painted by a local
artist who was decorating them with tiger paws.
"You've got so many freckles, there's no place to paint!" a girl in
the line said to the little fella. Embarrassed, the little boy dropped
his head. His grandmother knelt down next to him. "I love your
freckles. When I was a little girl I always wanted freckles, she said,
while tracing her finger across the child's cheek. "Freckles are
beautiful!"
The boy looked up, "Really?"
"Of course," said the grandmother. "Why, just name me one thing
that's prettier than freckles."
The little boy thought for a moment, peered intensely into his
grandma's face, and softly whispered, "Wrinkles."
Ack! *laughs*
Madison Avenue Linguistic Blunders
1. The Diary Association’s “Got Milk?” campaign came out “Are you lactating?” in Spanish advertising.
2. Coors’ slogan “Turn it Loose” in Spanish advertising was read as “Suffer from Diarrhea.”
3. Pepsi’s “Come Alive with Pepsi” slogan from a few years back translated as “Pepsi brings your ancestors back from the grave” in Chinese.
4. Coke hasn’t done much better. Their first attempt in China “Ke-kou-ke-la” first read as “Bite the wax tadpole” or “Female horse stuffed with wax” depending on the dialect. They finally managed to get the phonetic equivilant “ko-kou-ko-le” meaning “happiness in the mouth.”
5. Frank Perdue’s chicken slogan, “It takes a strong man to make a tender chicken” translated into Spanish came out “It takes an aroused man to make a chicken affectionate.”
6. Not everyone succeeds in the reverse either. Scandinavian vacuum manufacturer Electrolux first used the slogan in America: “Nothing sucks like an Electrolux.”

I am 25% Metal Head
Most other metal-heads acknowledge my presence, but they laugh at me behind my back. Maybe I need to stop spending all that money on haircuts and invest in a few Pantera T-shirts.
