Don't Forget!
On the other hand, after what happened last year....
Your Christmas Color
| Your Christmas Color is Green |
 You love an old fashioned, genuine Christmas. And this includes lots of natural elements like trees and wreaths. You tend to have a simple Christmas that harkens to times past. You like holidays smells, sights, and songs than have been around for decades - if not centuries. You enjoy every moment of this season, but you don't hold on too tightly. You are good with it all being temporary and special. You like to bring a little nature indoors if you can during the deadest part of the year. You want a reminder that spring is coming! |

How the Grinch Stole Christmas
In the now-iconic 1966 animated TV special Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas, Boris Karloff was the narrator and voice of the Grinch, but didn't sing its most famous song, You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch. The singer was Thurl Ravenscroft, arguably best known as being the voice of Tony The Tiger from 1953-2004.

Elf or Reindeer?
You Are An Elf |
 You are highly creative and artistic. You are good at working hard. While you love to work, you also love to play. You have a naughty side to you! You love pulling pranks and teasing people. You always seem to be getting into some sort of trouble. People can rely on you to be industrious and responsible... but you're going to have fun while you're getting stuff done. |

Talking While Intoxicated
THINGS THAT ARE DIFFICULT TO SAY WHEN DRUNK:
1. Innovative
2. Preliminary
3. Proliferation
4. Cinnamon
THINGS THAT ARE VERY DIFFICULT TO SAY WHEN DRUNK:
1. Specificity
2. Anti-constitutionalistically
3. Passive-aggressive disorder
4. Transubstantiate
THINGS THAT ARE DOWNRIGHT IMPOSSIBLE TO SAY WHEN DRUNK:
1. Thanks, but I don’t want to have sex.
2. Nope, no more booze for me!
3. Sorry, but you’re not really my type.
4. Taco Bell? No thanks, I’m not hungry.
5. Good evening, officer. Isn’t it lovely out tonight?
6. Oh, I couldn’t! No one wants to hear me sing karaoke.
7. I’m not interested in fighting you.
8. Thank you, but I won’t make any attempt to dance, I have no coordination. I’d hate to look like a fool!
9. Where is the nearest bathroom? I refuse to pee in this parking lot or on the side of the road.
10. I must be going home now as I have to work in the morning.

Encounter With Santa
I went to get some water yesterday evening, but the Culligan store
had suffered some vandalism and the vending machine was boarded up. I
drove out to the water kiosk in the mall parking lot to use that one,
then after I was done, decided I'd get some gasoline at the station at the entrance to
Walmart.
While I was pumping my gas, a van drove up next to me and Santa Claus got out! I told him "Hey, man! Why haven't you been to see me lately? It's been over 40 yrs.!"
He looked up from putting the gas nozzle in his tank and wryly said:

"Well, you must've been a BAD boy."
Hard to argue with that!
Hard to argue with that!

A Pseudonym By Any Other Name
Born on this day in 1835, Samuel Langhorne Clemens is better known as "Mark Twain", but before settling on that, wrote under other pen names such as "Josh" and "Thomas Jefferson Snodgrass".

Broken Link Buzzing
While not technically a 404 page as per the label, this TVBuzer page was still cute...even if the results are basically the same.
"Busy as a bee" works when it's trying to fix a broken link, too.

Thanksgiving Personality
A little scary, this one (because it's spot-on):
|
Your Thanksgiving Personality is Rebel |
 You detest Thanksgiving. All that family drama mixed with unappetizing side dishes? No thank you! You'll make an appearance if you absolutely have to, but you won't enjoy it. You probably don't even like pumpkin pie. Your ideal Thanksgiving would be spent completely alone... or with the few people that you can tolerate. You'd eat whatever you want - even in front of the TV if you felt like it. And there's a good chance you wouldn't be eating sweet potatoes with marshmallow. Gag! |

Dealey Plaza Webcam
A "bump" of this post from over a yr. ago to note the anniversary of the JFK assassination.
Another webcam I frequently visit is the Dealey Plaza Webcam in the southeast corner window of the sixth floor in the former Texas School Book Depository in Dallas. This is the view from the window from which an assassin fired the shots that killed President John F. Kennedy and severely wounded Texas Governor John Connally as the presidential motorcade drove through Dealey Plaza on November 22, 1963.
Here is the Google Earth street view looking back towards the sixth floor. The white "X" on the road marks the spot (the black arrow points to it) where Kennedy was shot. The black arrow at the top right of the building points toward the storage room where Oswald was perched and fired the shots. It is now the Sixth Floor Museum.
Another street view of the grassy knoll where many think some or all of the shots were fired.
A photo taken that day:
During the day there are almost always tourists and sightseers and I find myself holding my breath while watching someone running out to have their photo taken on the "X". (the person in the graphic below is hard to see because I had to enlarge it, but they're right in the center of the screen shot.) This was at around six p.m. and even though the rush hour traffic has lessened, the road was still busy and they quickly had to scamper back as so to not get run over by cars speeding around the corner.

It's Good To Be The King
Well, Stephen King. THE Stephen King, that is.
Besides the famous horror writer living in Bangor, Maine, there are 2,068 other Stephen Kings living in the U.S. (according to the 2010 Census), 168 of them in Texas.

I'm Cool With Halloween
Although I used to get hot under the collar when the neighborhood thugs would chase my old black cat.
| Your Halloween is Chill |
 You may or may not love Halloween, but you don't go to crazy on this holiday. You simply enjoy your favorite traditions and ignore the rest. Whether you're watching your favorite Halloween movie, handing out candy, or hiding out until November, you do this holiday your way. You may not get why people go all out for Halloween, but you appreciate their effort. An original costume or funky craft always makes you smile. You take everything as it comes in life, and you always look for the bright side. Even if you don't dress up, you always enjoy this time of year! |

Dear Obeng Lucy,
You might have seen my profile, but there's no information under it and any photo I had associated with it was that of a horny toad.
No, my user name ISN'T the same, not in here and since I don't belong to any dating sites....
"honest type, sincere, upfront, affectionate, passionate and God fearing"
SURE you are! Why aren't you spammer/scammers REALLY honest? "Hello, my name is Matinga Dubuko. I am a 33 yr. old man, live in Nigeria and am only pretending to be a woman in order to dupe you into sending me money or sending you a link with my "sexy photos" so that you'll click it and then download some malware that will take over your computer and email accounts and all your passwords."
"Please don't look scared..." Oh, I'm not. I would love to meet you in person and take a sledgehammer to your hands so you'd never be able to send out this crap ever again.
The caption on your shirt says it all: GREED.
