It’s time for another long update on me, I know (and I really should get into the habit of posting more often), but this link, sent to me by my dear sweetie, Kitanzi, was too good not to share:

Got this off of a mailing list. Of course, I tend to see it as a list of suggestions for the workplace, but I’m odd that way…

Another funny link, thanks to gridlore.
He’s a shy Amish stage actor from the ‘hood. She’s a cosmopolitan wisecracking college professor with an MBA from Harvard. They fight crime!
He’s a lounge-singing umbrella-wielding Green Beret on the hunt for the last specimen of a great and near-mythical creature. She’s an artistic thirtysomething politician with the power to bend men’s minds. They fight crime!
Try it! 🙂

BENTONVILLE, ARK (AP) – Some Walmart customers soon will be able to sample a new discount item — Walmart’s own brand of wine. The world’s largest retail chain is teaming up with E&J Gallo Winery of Modesto, Calif., to produce the spirits at an affordable price; in the $6-8 range. While wine connoisseurs may not be inclined to throw a bottle of Walmart brand wine into their shopping carts, there is a market for inexpensive wine, said Kathy Micken, professor of marketing at Roger Williams, University in Bristol, R.I. She said: “The right name is important.”
So, with that in mind, here are the top 13 suggested names for Walmart Wine:
13. The Wrath of Grapes
12. Chateau Traileur Doublewide
11. White Trashfindel
10. Big Red Gulp
9. Grape Expectations
8. Domaine Walmart “Merde du Pays”
7. NASCARbernet
6. Chef Boyardeaux
5. Peanut Noir
4. Chateau des Moines
3. I Can’t Believe It’s Not Vinegar!
2. World Championship Wriesling
1. Nasti Spumantee
I have no idea who wrote this, but it was sent to me on a mailing list, and a web search failed to come up with an author. Whoever out there is responsible, good job!
Got this from my friend Jill. Thanks Jill!

Town Spurns ‘Mr. Potato Head’ Gift
August 20, 2001 8:51 am EST
LONDON (Reuters) – A giant “Mr. Potato Head” statue given by a U.S. town to
its twin town in central England had to be removed because local people said
they didn’t like it.
Pawtucket in Rhode Island, where the “Mr. Potato Head” character featured in
the “Toy Story” movies was invented, sent the seven-foot-tall plastic effigy
to the town of Belper where it was put up outside the local McDonald’s.
But townsfolk launched a campaign demanding that tourism officer Reg
Whitworth get rid of it.
“We started getting letters saying ‘Why has this horrible thing appeared
stuck in the middle of town? We don’t want it here’,” Wayne Bontoft of local
newspaper the Belper News told Reuters on Monday.
The $8,700 statue, based on the simple toy which involves sticking plastic
arms, feet and facial parts into a potato, has now been banished to a
children’s playground and will later be put in a nearby “Wild West” theme
park.
Bob Billington, head of tourism in Pawtucket, which twinned with Belper in
1993, said the reaction had upset people in the New England town.
“Potato Heads here in Rhode Island attract quite a lot of positive
attention. We thought it was a nice gesture,” he told Britain’s Sun
newspaper.
