Wrt Jerry Fallwell's death, I'm reminded of the (paraphrased) words of Moms Mabley (as handed down to me by granniechuckie).

"You're always supposed to speak good of the dead. He's dead. Good."

ABC seems to be in love with the surreal. First the Geico Cavemen get their own show and now this (Via culture_geek):
7-8 p.m. PUSHING DAISIES
New show. Described as a "forensic fairy tale" about a guy named Ned who can bring things back to life with a simple touch for a moment. So he helps a P.I. crack murder cases by asking victims to name their killers. By day, he bakes pies.

Not that I have a problem with surreal. Still. Pies? Maybe it's a Waitress spin off. Or whatever the word would be for something taken from a movie rather than another tv show.

I was going to suggest that Sam get her dad a bag of personalized M&M's for father's day, 'cause he likes them very much and it sounded cute. Till I found out there was a minimum four bag purchase and the total would be something like forty-three dollars. While I appreciate that it may cost a bit to get the words on the M's, that seems a bit much.

kshandra asked about these interests and icons:

Ariel Gore: She is one of my heroes. She's the founder/editor of Hip Mama magazine and wrote The Hip Mama Guide to Parenting and The Mother Trip (among many others), both of which helped to keep me sane during the early days of Sammydom.

disorganized religion: Well, organized religion hasn't done much for me, so I'm fully behind the disorganized kind. Plus, being the kind of chick that has to remember which drawer the candles are in before she can light 'em in prayer, disorganized seemed the best one for me. :)

sad tomato: was defined yesterday

and

That's Arthur, the duck from Sheldon. It's my "What the hell?" icon.

Ah, Rosalind Russell. Fabulous actress...love her in His Girl Friday, Auntie Mame, The Trouble With Angels, Gypsy, The Women and other things that have fallen out of my brain.

I don't remember where I got the icon. I believe it was a caution sign, originally. Though, if you have to be told not to do that, you're probably not going to heed the warning. Anyway the little person seemed too happy for a caution sign...so I made it into one of my celebration icons. :)

Carrot eaters of the world, we are being lied to! Baby Carrots are not, in fact, babies. They are full grown carrots that have been cut and shaped in a processing plant. I'm shocked. Shocked I tell you!

Next thing you know, they'll tell us that it doesn't really take a miracle or a whip to produce Miracle Whip.
