So, the word ‘fire’.  One syllable or two?  The dictionary says one.  I say two.  “fy-er” Go ahead, try saying ‘fire’ with only one syllable.  Sounds pretty funny, doesn’t it?  So, I’m sticking my original ‘two syllables” answer, although I suspect that the REAL question here is “what exactly is a syllable?”

Great.  Something else for me to obsess on.

I’m really starting to annoy myself.

I was looking at a website this morning trying to get some gift ideas for a small child and came across this.  It is called the ’Spa Baby Eco‘ and it allows the parent to bathe their teeny infant man-child in a comfortable, relaxed position thereby reducing stress on all parties involved.  Great idea!  But original?  I’m not sure.  I feel like I’ve seen this somewhere before.  Somewhere in my past.  Somewhere long, long ago.  Somewhere in my ..... garage??

Oh yeah, now I remember.  Back in the day we used to call this a .... wait for it....

a bucket.

*blink*

I’m not saying that it isn’t a great idea and that you shouldn’t buy one, I’m just saying, well, you know, it’s

a bucket.

Happy shopping.

I don’t understand how a 6 pound cat can leave a 23 pound “treasure” in the litter box every morning.  The basic rules of science say “No.  That can’t happen.  So there.”

And yet…

Yep, I’m in love.  Check it out here.

Doesn’t it seem like more horses should be named ‘Whinnie’?

This is BY FAR my most popular picture on Flickr and it’s a silly little lie.  The picture is titled “Strip Poker Loser” and is merely a picture of Barb (probably the dearest person you could ever meet) scrunched down behind our bar wearing a strapless shirt.  No poker was played at all and she is clearly not a loser in any shape or form.  Happy Birthday, Barbie Doll!
