And so this is Christmas.
Posted by Chris | Filed under Ramblings
I was walking through Zellers today at Conestoga Mall and on my way back to the Electronics Dept (I know… I can hear the collective gasps) and I passed by the big red wall of candy. Leaning over and carefully examining all of the many options was a little old lady in her red Christmas sweater.
I don’t know… I just started smiling thinking of all the little old ladies I’ve known over the years who really look forward to this time of year. Making preparations for the visitors, old friends, grandchildren and anyone else reaching into their little seasonal candy dishes filled with scotch mints, humbugs, and Werther’s Originals.
I’m not quite there yet, but I’m almost ready for Christmas.
(Yeah, so I’m a big ol’ softie, all filled with nougat and such. Shut it.)

Why merely walk down the street when you run on this mobile treadmill and get half as far, with twice as much effort for hundreds and hundreds of dollars? My question… what happens if you go downhill? How do you stop?
Taking my own poll.

Grrr… bossy readers.
1. World’s Best Breakfast?
Bangers & Mash or Bubble & Squeak. Maybe both…
2. Favourite animated movie?
Monsters Inc.
3. Dog or cat?
Big dog or not dog at all. And since Pam won’t clean up after it, I guess we’ll have no dog at all.
4. If you could take an open-ended road trip today, where would you go?
Disney World in Florida and I’d hit every Stuckey’s along the way. Mmmm… pecan log roll.
5. Sweet or savoury?
Hmmm… is chocolate covered bacon sweet or savoury?
6. You just found $50 in coins down your couch. What are you going to run out and buy for yourself right now?
Two 4-packs of 14oz jumbo pecan log rolls.
7. Cake or pie?
Do they make ice-cream pie? If not, I pick ice-cream cake.
(just did some research… we have a winner!)
Psycho kitty … qu’est-ce que c’est?

PRESCOTT, Ariz. (AP) - With a fox locked onto her arm, an Arizona jogger ran a mile to her car, where she was able to dislodge the animal, throw it into the trunk and drive to a Prescott hospital. The Yavapai County Sheriff’s Office said the fox, which later attacked an animal control officer, tested positive for rabies.
The unidentified Chino Valley resident told deputies she was on a trail Monday at the base of Granite Mountain when the fox attacked, biting her foot. The woman said she grabbed it by the neck when it went for her leg and it latched onto her arm.
Thinking the fox was rabid, she wanted to make sure it didn’t get away so she ran to her car, where she was able to pry open its jaws, wrap it in a sweat shirt and toss it into the trunk.
The woman is receiving rabies vaccinations, as is the animal control officer.

INTELLIGENT, cultured, 22y/o wm seeking Asian women (pref. Nihonese)
Date: 2008-10-16, 3:29AM EDT
Hello ladies of the internet!
I am here today, as are you, to find the love of my life ideally. Now, I am an introspective and reflective man so over my life I’ve come to realise exactly what I’m looking for in my ideal woman.
Personally, I am 22 years old, my name is Perseus, I am attending U of T in the final year of my Engineering degree, and I am a little on the chubby side. I am a dedicated Green party voter and staunchly opposed to the Conversative hordes dashing themselves against the impregnable Liberal/NDP/Green keep of our fine enlightened city. I am fond of discussing philosophy and the meaning of life over a glass of wine in the ‘even. As hobbies go, I am an avid gamer and enjoy delving into the myriad artistic realities of animé (the origin of my affinity for Asian culture, which is frankly superior).
You MUST fulfill the following requirements:
- Asian
- Woman
- Aged NO MORE THAN 23
- - and NO LESS THAN 16
- Petite build. Ideally no more than 115 lbs.
- - but no ‘Paris Hilton’ bulimics please! I like my women with some meat on them.
- Like sushi, animé, and video games.
BONUSES include:
- Japanese heritage
- Large collection of animé and manga
- Glasses
- Interest in cosplay and roleplaying
- Traditional Ladies’ education
I must stress again that this is for a SERIOUS, long term relationship. Not some ‘fling’ as though I were a boy toy to be tossed aside.
