Bonus Blog: Who Told These People They Could Write?
Well, I'm not sure if Two Legs is her agent or her manager, but I'm pretty sure she's going to need both. I'm hoping for a job opportunity out of the deal. <fingers crossed> :)— October 18, 2009 12:56 a.m.
Bonus Blog: Who Told These People They Could Write?
Um, um....I was going to say that... Stella is extremely busy observing the neighborhood for her blog, and that her adoring public will have to understand if she has to decline some journalistic opportunities that may be presented to her! Yeah, that's the ticket. :)— October 18, 2009 12:49 a.m.

Fish, you 'do' realize that Stella, is...er, I mean... Never mind. :)— October 18, 2009 12:38 a.m.
got paranormal activity?
Back in #8, Daniels wrote: "We'd better do some kind of exorcism blog--maybe Pike can find a good deal on craigslist for some supplies! :)" So a little later, I started wondering: What WOULD come up if I checked a couple places using "exorcism supplies" as keywords? First, I found these: http://www.shopzilla.com/vision-care/exorcism-sup… These are actually legit contact lenses. You have to tell them the power and base curve when you order them. How cool is that? I'm almost sorry I got that lasik surgery now. Then, I found this stuff: http://www.amazon.com/Angelical-Whispers-Exorcism… Apparently, you can 'wash' demons away with a good bath. Who knew? I mean, might as well try, right? Couldn't hurt. Finally, I hit paydirt. The real deal. Where else? http://cgi.ebay.com/ANNA-RIVA-EXORCISM-Incense-Po… Gotta love that user ID. So, for the bargain price of (currently) 99 cents, someone is going to get themselves a generous 1.75 ounce container of Demon-Be-Gone. I wonder how many demons that's good for, and if there is any portion advice on the back, kinda like the feeding instructions on a bag of cat food. I think I'll ask the seller. Stay tuned. :)— October 18, 2009 12:29 a.m.
The Plan
Tiki, you should mos def be writing for a car magazine. Always such well-written stuff. Unfortunately, I have no idea what you're talking about. :) Have you thought of changing your blog title to be a little more indicative of what you write about? Might generate more readership for you. You certainly deserve it.— October 17, 2009 8:19 p.m.
South Park Cat Tales: #1
Hey Two Legs, the HTML tags only work in the blog, not in the comments. You probably figured that out by now. :) So sorry to hear of the loss of Alo. He must've been a beautiful boy. I was so grief-stricken when my Simba left in 2004 that I pretty much lost a job over it. Lovin' me some Stella! Please bribe her with extra treats to keep her writing! :)— October 17, 2009 8:01 p.m.
got paranormal activity?
nan, your auntie's house had 20 bedrooms in ONE WING? Holy smokes. That's beyond a mansion. Who are you, nanners, a Vanderbilt or something? "there were doors on the inside between each bedroom and u could walk into each bedroom and follow the spirits progress...watch the doorknobs turn sometimes a spirit played the Grand Piano just below the staircase and u could stand above and listen and watch the keys moving we weren't frightened tho...at least my sister and i weren't...i was about 8 at the time" Wow! Now that's some first-class haunting, right there. Definitely a benevolent ghostie-type. You could never see a figure or identify who it might be? Shoulda known it would be nan that would come through, big time. What a life. Thanks, nan. (Also, I posted something for you on your Shards blog, so hopefully you saw that.)— October 17, 2009 7:42 p.m.
got paranormal activity?
Daniels, I love your centaur. What a cool one! I'm sorry you think he was a hallucination. He assures me he was not. ;) Cuddle, thanks for your Virgin de Guadalupe story. It's been my understanding that visions of any famous virgin you'd care to name are fairly common in the Mexican culture. Here's the story of the Virgin de Guadalupe, attached to a festival promo: http://www.apertours.com/TTvirgin.htm Sounds like a GREAT time! Can you imagine the photos you'd get? As for the shops you mention ("Botanicas"), I visited some of those in the early 90s. Here's the big one in San Antonio, which specifically focuses on Voodoo, and a bit on Santeria: http://www.papajimsbotanica.com/index.php For such an interesting store, the website's pretty boring, unfortunately. Oh, and Fish? MY legal birthday is April 22 (although it may be the 21st or 23rd. Don't ask). Here are a few events from the days before/after: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Columbine_High_Schoo… http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oklahoma_city_bombing http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hitler http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virginia_Tech_massac… http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waco_siege http://www.dispatch.com/live/content/local_news/s… http://www.ablogistan.com/archives/2007/04/traged… The only person who gets to gripe more than me is my cousin, whose website is right here (country music volume warning): http://bryancline.com/ His birthday is 9/11. Poor baby.— October 17, 2009 7:36 p.m.
"I KNOW you gonna dig this"
Heehee. Thanks for the pun, hun. I just posted another, BTW. Decided I'd try to beat some folks to it.— October 16, 2009 11:40 p.m.
A Fairy Tale for S(wine Flu) Daniels
Re #16: I LIKE that! Does he eat away the cone bit by bit, in proportion with the ice cream, so that the ice cream always pokes up above the cone. Because that's what I do. :) http://pamwritesromance.files.wordpress.com/2009/…— October 16, 2009 10:28 p.m.
