Little Pretty Things
Hi all,
In the interest of non-corporate nepotism, I'm sharing my cousin Terry's ebay store (Terry King Glass) with you. :) Terry is a trained artist who works mostly in glass. And he's from Wisconsin, so he's pretty nice (Wisconsin boys are always nice!).
DB and I both have some of his smaller pieces (cufflinks and a sea turtle, in particular) and they're pretty pretty.
Go visit!

In case I ever become famous...
Yes, you've been axniously anticipating my as-of-yet unreleased albums Dickie Knows The Wraparound* and There's No Such Thing As A Southbound Rabbit, since 1993.
Now you'll soon be thrilled by my junior effort!!!:
Unfortunately, Tim Has A Thing For My Underwear**
You'll see, someday I'll be on TRL, like, totally talking about where i get inspiration from and, like, how I come up up with the titles for my albums and, like, you can totally say you saw it here first.
*Nintendo NHL 1993! Booyah!
**The fact that I had a roomie named Tim in college makes it all the funnier.

Shark Attack 3: Megalodon
Otherwise known as:
The Offer I Got On The Way To Work On Wednesday
So, Wednesday morning, I was sitting in my car on my way in to work, at the stoplight right near HCY, you know, waiting to turn left. I was singing along to the radio--Billy Joel's Still Rock and Roll To Me. (I think I might have been on "How about a pair of pink sidewinders and a bright orange pair of pants?", ah, but it's hard to recall...)
I had the window open, but I did not have my foot up on the side mirror, as usual (that's how I roll). And, as C.A. of HCY inquired, I had remembered to get fully dressed before beginning my pilgrimage that morning.
My light turns green and I turn left. All of a sudden a ratty guy (around 65, maybe?) leans his whole upper body out the window of his ratty S10 and says, "Hey baby, hop in my car and I'll fill in the blank*".
Put any offer you like there, but remember, it was very specific. For those of you who have seen Shark Attack 3: Megalodon, well, you already know ...
In the interest of public safety, I had to tell people at work all about it (of course)!
The HCY comments were as follows:
1) Ew.
2) Are you sure you put your shirt on before you left the house?
3) Can't catch any fish if you don't cast your net.
4) Oh my god, that's gross.
5) I wonder if that ever works?
6) Nice to see his libido is still in charge.
7) Hey, what's wrong with an S10?!?
8) Huh. I'm going to have to try that on the way home.
9) What is wrong with people? and
10) Did you get his number?
Signed--> "Not easily shocked, but this is one for the record..."
*It is at minute marker 1:11 that the most horrible line in the most horrible movie ever made occurs. It is even better if you and your sister are watching it with your parents, which, of course, we were.
Scarred for life.

I am, however, retaining
Dean Cain, Carmine Giovinazzo, Gary Sinise, Mark Harmon, Billie Armstrong, Stanley from Jericho, Alan Rickman (voice only, that is)...
and adding what's his name from Boston Legal (no, not William Shatner...).
So, fear not non-standard-hotness celebrities, there's still a place for you in my heart (sniff).

Changes to "The List"
Yep, I'm making changes to My List. You know, "The" "List"? Everybody's got one. DB's is headed by a collection of oddly hot indie chicks?
I'm am on the verge of removing Jon Bon Jovi. I know, it's so sad. He's been on my training table for years. But look at this picture and you'll know why.
Jon, my friend, I think it's time...

Dogs are smart.
Unfortunately, Tim has a thing for my underwear. So much so, that since she was a puppy, I've replaced my whole collection due to her laundry baskey thievery. So much so, that I finally bought a little step-on metal garbage can to serve as a laundry basket solely for underwear.
As of yet, she hasn't figured out how to open it.
So--as such--when I bring a basket of clothes down to wash, I have to tuck a towel over the top of the basket to keep her out. She knows she's not supposed to remove the protective terry barrier, and she follows that rule, even though she doesn't like it.
So what do I find this morning?
Tim, lying on her side next to my laundry basket pulling my underwear out thru the holes in the basket with her front teeth.
Well, technically she didn't break the rules.
Annoying Dog never runs out of annoying. :)

Movie Review: More Than Meets The Eye!
Those of you who knew me when I was young know of my Transformers thing. Those of you who know me now, know of my electronic gadget thing.
I'm going to marry the Transformers movie.
Cute Persons to look at (0-5): 4. Oh, where to begin?
If you're into chicks:
There's the brainy blonde chick who can hack into the Dept of Defense computer systems without disrupting either her hornrimmed glasses or her artfully deconstructed bun. Australian, blue eyes, hot.
And then there's the brunette chick with the juvie record and dirty white tank top who can replace the headers in your cousin's Trans Am in, like, 20 minutes. American, blue eyes, hot.
If I were picking, I'd pick the brunette chick. But that's just me.
If you like dudes:
There's Shia LeBoeuf--too young for me, but decently cute and pretty funny. He does a lot of steamy running around to save the world, which is always attractive in someone you think is cute.
Another option--> Josh Duhamel. He's not usually a top pick of mine for some reason, buuuut, if he showed up at my door, I'd make him some tea. Especially after that motorcycle scene. Whew. Lots of tea.
Oh--Tyrese is also available. He doesn't say much, but he's ripped, so, honestly, it hardly matters.
And, uh, *cough*, there's Bumblebee*. Strong...protective...tall...........yellow? Now if I could only figure out if it's weirder than my childhood crush on Aquaman. It's so hard to decide.
A Satisfying Ending (0-5): 5. OH YEAH!! Good guys win, bad guys lose!!!! Room for a sequel! (Se-quel, Se-quel)
Action/adventureness (0-5): 5. Absolutely awesome. I don't think I've liked an action movie this much since the first Matrix. And that's saying a lot, b/c I really dig action flicks. A lot.
Love storyness (0-5): 3. No true love story, but all the hot folk are ogling each other. Which is nice. Shia LeBoeuf is adorably bumbly when he's around the hot brunette chick.
Good Scaryness (0-5): 1. No true scaryness, unless you're 5. Then maybe. Cartoon-based evilness? Sure, plenty of that.
Kissing (0-5): 1. I only recall one actual kiss. But you know what, it doesn't matter.
Here's why... It's summer and it's a blockbuster movie, so the movie houses are crowded. The movie is full of great Transformer and U.S. military powerhouse action. People were actually cheering out loud. When we weren't cheering, we were laughing. You've been eating candy.
What's my point? At the end of the movie, you're left sweaty, excited, out of breath, and sticky. I don't need the kissing--do you need the kissing?
Cinematography/Special Effects (1-5): 5. Awesome. The car chases were great. The fighter jet/helicopter parts were great. The desert scenes were great. Even the Autobot vs. Decepticon fighting scenes were as realistic as something imaginary could really be.
Extra Credit:
Soundtrack/score? 5 points.
CG stuff? 5 points.
Military exhibitionism? 5 points.
Sam's parents and the all scenes at his house? 5 points
The car/robot/tow truck/Hoover Dam/Sikorsky helicopter/hotwiring/Lockheed Martin F22 Raptor/bitchin' Camaro machine-gadgetry? 5 million freaking points.
Total: 5,000,044/35. I couldn't get DB to stay for the 10pm show. Maybe I can finagle a matinee tomorrow...we'll see...

Also a Guestmap
Click on View My Guestmap at the very bottom. I'm not sure I'm going to keep it, so we'll see...
If you wish to stick your pin the map, feel free to use a fake name (or initials or whatever), but the 2 required fields seem to be Name and Comments.
Lemme know if it's interesting enough to keep...

Something new-->
I've added a "What Happened This Day In History?" block to the very bottom of Mairzydoats. It's right under the ticker.
I guess I'm assuming you guys can see the ticker?? Let me know if you can see the History.

Today's SOTD is "Before He Cheats" (by Carrie Underwood?).
I don't even like it, although I know a lot of people who do, so maybe my subC is more mainstream than I am?
Who knows...?
EditedToAdd-->
You know why I don't like it? Because she's spending 3.5 minutes talking about what she's going to do to him and his car.
Babe. If you're going to leave him for it, just go. Go. No need to go all Buckcherry---just move it on out.
I don't think it's this one chick's responsibility to protect the rest of womankind (at least not the ones she doesn't know), and I really doubt having to get a new paint job on his pretty little souped up 4WD is going to fix his wagon.
I'm just sayin'.
