The must-have gift for every disillusioned little girl
Looks like Lisa Frank hit the bottle a little too hard this time...
Have you heard anything?
I'm looking to find some BYU (Provo) students that may have heard something about this. Check out the link below.

You know what I miss?
There was something about having all of that cola taste without the guilt of having consumed a dark cola beverage. I used to crack open a can while watching my mid-day Thundercats and Dino-Riders. Boy, there are nothing like those days. I'm a nostalgic fool. I remember when they started doing 'free refills' *gasp* "That's impossible! They'll go out of business!". Yeah, Crystal Pepsi - ten ba-jillion times better than New Coke.
Speaking of Hugging Your Chicken...
Here's the sweetness of a Turkey that my sister and I cooked up with the secret Howe recipe. The top one is fresh out of the oven, and the bottom is complimented with garlic mashed home-style potatoes and a garden salad. Mmm..boy. And the other one is the Turkey carving. Ha ha. (Double entendre... two meanings.. meaning that the turkey is being carved.. heh heh, or the turkey is doing the carving... hee hee... aww.)
Congratulations Ryan!
Ryan was just cast to star in the next Dragonballz live-action film! Here's to his eventual corruption by the entertainment industry. (Dig that jacket by the way. I think I saw that at a Mary Kay convention once.)

That is all.
* From John Hodgman's Areas of My Expertise
You know what you are, Jon...?
An enabler. I vowed I would never have a blog, visit a blog, write on a blog, or use or think of the word "blog". And yet, here I am. I hope you're happy. Unless you are happy. In that case I hope you're not.
You rock, Jon.
You rock, Jon.
We be bloggin'
I can't tell you how excited I am to be on this blog. I know that this will be the perfect outlet for all of my rage and frustation. And the great thing is that if the internet isn't working, I can just walk across the hall to yell at Jon in person. What a time to be alive. Well, I hope everyone enjoys reading this. I'm sure I'll be more funny next time.
Cheers.

My maiden voyage into Jon's BlogWorld(tm)
So I've been looking for this site for literally 3 months or so...
Thanks to Jon, I've finally found it. Here's a funny one that I hope you all will enjoy:
Love,

I'm in like wearing your shirt with the collar up!
Howdy everybody! I'll try to keep my posts relatively sane.
They say no talkin' about politics or religion; I think "they" talk too much!
Poker With Dick Cheney
Transcript of The Editors' regular Saturday-night poker game with Dick Cheney, 6/19/04. Start tape at 12:32 AM.
The Editors: We'll take three cards.
Dick Cheney: Give me one.
Sounds of cards being placed down, dealt, retrieved, and rearranged in hand. Non-commital noises, puffing of cigars.
TE: Fifty bucks.
DC: I'm in. Show 'em.
TE: Two pair, sevens and fives.
DC: Not good enough.
TE: What do you have?
DC: Better than that, that's for sure. Pay up.
TE: Can you show us your cards?
DC: Sure. One of them's a six.
TE: You need to show all your cards. That's the way the game is played.
Colin Powell: Ladies and gentlemen. We have accumulated overwhelming evidence that Mr. Cheney's poker hand is far, far better than two pair. Note this satellite photo, taken three minutes ago when The Editors went to get more chips. In it we clearly see the back sides of five playing cards, arranged in a poker hand. Defector reports have assured us that Mr. Cheney's hand was already well advanced at this stage. Later, Mr. Cheney drew only one card. Why only one card? Would a man without a strong hand choose only one card? We are absolutely convinced that Mr. Cheney has at least a full house.
Tim Russert: Wow. Colin Powell really hit a homerun for the Administration right there. A very powerful performance. My dad played a lot of poker in World War 2, and he taught me many things about life. Read my book.
TE: He's extremely good at Power Point. But we would like to see the cards, or else we can't really be sure he has anything to beat two pair. We don't think he would lie to us, but ... well, it is a very rich pot.
Jonah Goldberg: Liberal critics of Mr. Cheney's poker hand contend that "he doesn't have anything". Oh, really, liberal critics? Cheney has already showed them the six of clubs, and yet these liberals persist in saying he has "nothing". Why do liberals consider the six of clubs to be "nothing"? Is it because the six of clubs is black?
Matt Drudge: ****DRUDGE REPORT EXCLUSIVE*********MUST CREDIT THE DRUDGE REPORT*****The Drudge Report has learned that Dick Cheney has a royal flush, hearts. Developing ...
TE: Perhaps if you could just show us a subset of your cards which beat 2 pair? Or tell us exactly what your hand is?
DC: We will show you our cards after we have collected the pot. It is important that things be done in this order, otherwise the foundation of our entire poker game will be destroyed.
TE: We aren't sure ...
DC: Very good. And here are my cards. A straight flush.
Judith Miller: Dick Cheney has revealed a straight flush, confirming his pre-collection claims about beating two pair.
TE: Those cards are of different suits. It's not a flush.
Mark Steyn: When will it end? Now liberal critics complain that Dick Cheney's cards are not all the same suit. Naturally, these are the same liberals who are always whining about a lack of diversity in higher education. It seems like segregation is OK with these liberals, as long as it damages Republicans.
MD: ****DRUDGE REPORT EXCLUSIVE*********MUST CREDIT THE DRUDGE REPORT*****A witness has come forward claiming that The Editors engage in racial profiling in blog-linking. Developing ...
TE: Wait! It's not even a straight! You've got a eight and ten of hearts, a six of clubs, and the seven and five of diamonds. You have a ten high. That's nothing.
Sean Hannity: Well, well, well. In another sign of liberal desperation, liberals now complain that a ten high is "nothing". Does ten equal zero in liberal mathematics? That would explain a lot.
Robert Novak: It's a perfectly valid poker hand. Apparently, liberals have never heard of a "skip straight". It's a kind of straight, just with one card missing. But if you skip around the missing nine, it's a straight.
Alan Colmes: Mother says I mustn't play poker.
TE: There is no such thing as a "skip straight".
Brit Hume: It seems like some people are still playing poker like it's September 10th. Back then, you needed to have all your cards in order to claim a straight. But, as we learned on that day, sometimes you won't have perfect knowledge. Sometimes you have to learn to connect the dots, and see the patterns which are not visible to superficial analysis of the type favored by the CIA and the State Department. Dick Cheney's skip straight is a winning poker hand for the post-9/11 world.
Rush Limbaugh: Do The Editors have two pairs, or a pair of twos? First they say one thing, then another. What are they hiding?
Andrew Sullivan: Dick Cheney never said he had a straight. He was very careful about this. His cards can form many different hands. None of these hands alone can beat a pair of twos; but, taken together, the combination of all possible hands presents a more compelling case for taking the pot than simply screaming "Pair of twos! Pair of twos!" as unprincipled liberal critics of the Vice President so often do.
MD: ****DRUDGE REPORT EXCLUSIVE*********MUST CREDIT THE DRUDGE REPORT*****Did The Editors claim to have "a pair of Jews"? Are they anti-Semites as well as racists? Developing ...
Zell Miller: As a lifelong liberal Democrat, I believe Dick Cheney, and I hate liberals and Democrats.
William Safire: Why are liberals so obsessed by Dick Cheney's poker hand? The pot has been taken, the deal is done. If liberals are upset that we are no longer playing by the Marquis of Queensbury patty-cake poker rules, they clearly lack the stomach to play poker in the post-September 11th environment. And why do they never complain about Saddam Hussein's poker playing, which was a thousand times worse?
Christopher Hitchens: The Left won't be happy until the pot is divided up equally between Yassar Arafat, Osama bin Laden, and Hitler. Orwell would have seen this.
Ann Coulter: Why do liberals object so strenuously to the idea of conservatives having a "straight"? Perhaps because it doesn't fit in with the radical homosexual/Islamist agenda they hold so dear?
Report of the Bipartisan Commission on Poker Hands: There is no such thing as a "skip straight".
DC: I have access to poker rules that the Commission doesn't, and so I know for a fact that the cards in my hand are all intimately connected.
George W. Bush: Dick Cheney is telling the truth. I'm a nice man who would drink a beer with you.
Vladimir Putin: I dealt Dick Cheney three aces and two kings.
DC: My deal.

Semi-Inspirational Quote of the Moment
"Give me chastity and continence, but not yet."
- Saint Augustine (354-430AD)
- Saint Augustine (354-430AD)
To all those who were invited.
So, I had to pull some strings, but I got it so that everyone can post entries on the Canasian & Friends blog, throw some pictures etc up there and such. We can create our own columns and sections and pretty much, have a boisterious good time.
Ascensione - ONLINE!
After months and months of brow-furrowing effort, yep, the Dante movie is done. If you haven't seen it yet, it's my first 'art' movie, but it's still good. Go figure. : ) It's my reinvention of Dante's Divine Comedy. Oh, just as a warning, it might be rated PG-13 for Disturbing images and thematic elements.
Anyway, props to the small army that helped out on this one.
