Christmas seemed to come and go in a twinkle this year, probably because I didn’t shop til the last minute. I have an entire blog post coming up about Princess’ gift from Santa. I planned Christmas dinner for four and eight showed up, but we still had plenty of food. And 2008 is coming up fast! A couple more notes:
*I’ve found a twin! Thanks to Holtie’s House, I found Ms. Cellania!
*Thanks to Debbie Dolphin, who presented me with another award, this one called the Cool and Crazy award.
*YesButNoButYes is featuring polls to find out what you think is the best of 2007. You can vote on your favorite viral videos, TV shows, comic books, sports teams, and a poll on movies should be available soon There’s also a tournament-style poll on the “WTF Moment of 2007” with six brackets up so far (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6).
Singing Backwards
The first half of this video features a guy singing a song in reverse. He’s also doing some stuff that will look strange backwards. The second half is where you find out what song he is singing, when the video goes backwards! This performance must have taken a lot of practice. (via Boing Boing)

WOOF
A dog walked into a telegram office, took out a blank form and wrote, "Woof. Woof. Woof. Woof. Woof. Woof. Woof. Woof. Woof."
The clerk examined the paper and politely told the dog, "There are only nine words here. You could send another 'Woof' for the same price."
"But," the dog replied, "that would make no sense at all."

Some Useful Condescending Phrases.
It’s difficult to name a new product, and a condom is no exception. You want something that brings up an image of virility, liked Trojan, or appeals to male ego, like Maxim, right? Or you could cut right to a pun that’s destined to garner search engine hits. They named the condom Abstinence.

CASTRO’S ARMY
(via Phil’s Phun)
A Scotsman is sitting in a bar in Cuba and is minding his business when a man with a large black beard walks in. The man goes to the bar and orders a shot of whisky. The bartender serves him, the man drinks the whisky then starts walking out the door.
The bartender says, "Hey aren't you going to pay for that?"
The man says, "Excuse me, Castro's Army."
The bartender says, "Alright then" and the man leaves.
A few minutes later another man with a large black beard walks in. The man goes to the bar and orders a shot of whisky.
The bartender serves him, the man drinks the whisky then starts walking out the door.
The bartender says, "Hey aren't you going to pay for that?"
The man says,"Excuse me, Castro's Army."
The bartender says "Alright then" and the man leaves.
The Scotsman gets an idea and walks up to the bar and orders a shot of whisky. He drinks the whisky then starts walking out the door.
The bartender says, "Hey aren't you going to pay for that?"
The Scotsman says, "Excuse me, Castro's Army."
The bartender says, "Hey where is your big black beard?"
The Scotsman thinks quickly. He lifts his Kilt and says,
"Secret Service!"
