Hoffy hot dogs now come pre-wrapped in bacon!
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/12/05/bacon-wrapped-hot-dogs_n_1129399.html
Can I get some bacon wrapped bacon?
I'm sure that can be arranged, pig on pig on a stick?
I'd hit it!
LMAO! Thank you for the laugh!
"Mitt Romney made a potential speaking gaffe Wednesday when he said he "wasn't concerned about the very poor" because there is a safety net in place for them." That is all.
YOU MEAN MITT ROMNEY ISN'T PERFECT?!?!? Oh woe is us – NOT! I'm looking forward to a life Mitt-out Romney.
If Mitt, Newt and Obozo are the best that either party can bring to the table, our nation is in very deep trouble.
Now now there, have more respect for Mittens. LOL! I love it when folks call that liberal stooge Mittens. End of a very long day. I'm getting drunk tonight. Bye y'all!
You couldn't be more correct. Come November, we are all screwed no matter the winner.
I almost spit out my coffee when I read Mittens...
Well played sir!
I think we have our election year "Best Name Yet" signed, sealed, and delivered.
Mittens, it is! (I see a black cat with a white nose and four white socks....er....mittens. The campaign mascot?)
The unsuspecting Mrs. Jones smuggly sips her coffee, admiring her botoxed reflextion in the mirror....little does she know that she will be getting a visit from a mysterious stranger, a Rique Sauve...
(where is Steven Spielberg when you need him?)
Looks like she's had some nose & cheek work done, too.
You should know...just sayin'
I'm seeing a banner at the bottom of my page that says, "CNN Special live coverage Nevada caucuses ..."
If it's showing up on your page, let me know if I'm the only one who, at first glance, thought it was an ad for Domino's pizza.
*raises hand* I see it, yep the same colors as Dominoes. Yesterday I saw the Bloggers Spotlight listed and thought it said the Booger Spotlight. Note to self to get eyes examined..
Good morning or afternoon to you nice lady. Don't worry about getting your eyes checked. Just get yourself 50 inches like Michele did. This is a case where bigger is definitely better.
*looks at today's picture* Wow.... I wish I was awake enough to look that smug with coffee (or tea) in the morning.
Taco Salad day!!! I got a small because the large weighs 5 lbs....
I agree. That photo defines "smug" without using words. Excellent and precise.
Happy Thursday Klatchkies! I will be watching the game myself though I have a low interest rate because my BF just got a 50 incher. Sunday afternoon is booked!
Got a 50 incher what?
And... there's a game? (I don't follow sports... but I have a marginal interest being from NY.)
0.o
Your BF just got a 50 inch .... what?
GUTTER!
Yesssssss!!!
I KNEW you'd "go there!"
Is precisely why I phrased it the way I did.....bait! HA!
Yesssssss!!!
(I figured, but it was still fun.)
Do you know what doing that to me makes you? An Alee Baiter! Bahahahaha!

High Definition plasma TV. It's impressive. When it's ON we WILL watch it. You can't ignore it!
I've never had one that big before, so I'm overly impressed. (I know, I know, it's just a fancy over sized TV, but still.....)
You can be sure if there was a 50 incher in my living room, I'd be watching it – at first.
(just trying to figure out where to start is the question)
All the buttons are sort of obscure. If it weren't for the Remote Control the TV would be a rather large paperweight.
Siruisly, getting my mind out of man parts, can you find a picture of it on the net somewhere? I'd love to see what you/he got!

Sort of plain looking but the picture makes some images life size. Amazing. I remember those teeny tv's of the fifties when I was a kid. Technology marches on!
That's going to be a sweet view of the game for you. Congrats! Ultimately, will you hang it on the wall or do you have something you'll sit it on.
It's on a biggish stand we bought for it, wide enough that we don't walk into one of the ends, but we are going to anchor it to the wall pretty soon. It weighs 60 pounds and it's sort of top heavy. We live in earthquake country so a tie down is mandatory.
Mixed feelings on this one...thoughts?

This is the best forecast: http://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?CityName=Denver&state=CO&site=BOU&textField1=39.768&textField2=-104.873&e=1
Ok, this is just dumb...The local radio weather forecast just updated the storm prediction to 2-22". I guess they are trying to play it safe.
Any way you look at it though, I think I will stay home tomorrow...
BOOOYAAA! I got the tix!!!
I better see you crowd surfing and drinking beer!
GoodONya, Mate!
May I make a suggestion?

Holy Rolaids, Batman! The only thing missing from that incredible smorgasbord was bacon-wrapped bacon. The Blooming Bacon Cheddar Ranch Bread looked good enough to eat right now.
"Mexican Cornbread Salad" Daayuum! Thanks for that post!
Good morning to one and all you fellow Klatschers out there. Glad to say I'm finally looking at a decent day not full of madness and insanity and have to say got a new outlook on a few things thank to christopher t-- i--tus. Saw his show love is evol yesterday and could not stop laughing.
LMAO! I saw his two most recent stand-up shows on comedy central. Both gave me all the reason I need to want to see him live! Max Headroom IS da bomb! I envy you having seen him. Is there anything I should know before I go?
Hmm, space though dark, cold and vast seems a friendlier and warmer place than this modland. Y_Y
Alright, My first post of the day and I'm already in mod land. Woot!!
Good morning to one and all you fellow Klatschers out there. Glad to say I'm finally looking at a decent day not full of madness and insanity and have to say got a new outlook on a few things thank to christopher titus. Saw his show love is evol yesterday and could not stop laughing.
Good morning Klatschkies! How is everyone today?
Another Thursday, another deadline. FUN!
"If you are supposed to learn from your mistakes, then why do some people have more than one child?"
You don't want your children to feel like they're the only mistakes you ever made.
I'm already being moderated!
Breathe in Jesus. Breathe out Christ.
Shalom My Son....This too shall pass....like corn beef Hash and Gas.
Good morning all.
Borther RichHead is on target. They are talking 5-10" starting at dinnertime tonight, and continuing into Saturday. I am thinking work from home manana and get a start on the 200+ pages of reading that is on tap for thei weekend.
How is everyone doing today?
Doing well except in the patience department, Sensei. I guess it's my turn with the modbots today. I'm trying to post something on the Kit Kat thread and I seem to be in perpetual moderation. *deep breath ... in .... out ...* And I can't figure out why it's in the queue. *deep breath ... in .... out ...*
Do you have any words of wisdom for this willing & impatient student?
Roll a Fat One and inhale deeply...It always works for Jdizz and me. :))
HA! I suppose that would work for my net persona ...
Or since Sir Bid & I seem to have breathing problems today, we can regulate ourselves to this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=em44c0VEZF4
You and Jdizz are chubby-chasers!??!?!?! Never would have guessed that.
BBW's need Luv too...but enough talk about my BFF, The Queen. I was referring to Healthy Won Ton Wrappers and Herbs.:))
Ok. Can I have a cappucino and a bagel to start? LOL!
Love your website. Is there a way to view it in English? The photos of the food are to die for.
http://elfogoncito.net/
If you go in using Google Chrome there should be a pop-up on top that will offer to translate it.
Even though WD and I Do Not have a horse in this race any longer....It is Pickin' Time.
New England Patriots.....Big over the giants.
I second and third that.
You know what my pick is.......but for the record, GIANTS.
Good Morning Ms.P......Yep the movie Lil'giants was funny...but who are you picking for the REAL GAME? How's the Furries doing?
Furries are good, and they are waving hi to WD and you. I see you've had a bad week so far, sorry to tell you that your weekend won't be better once the GIANTS win!!! :-)
Pats
The hotel the Pats are staying is thisclose to my place of employment. There *might* be some large Go Giants signs hanging in the windows facing the hotel. I also screamed Go Giants at a car with Mass. plates this morning on the way to work. Maybe. Go Giants!
Giants.
And Brady is a liberal stooge.
Good morning! last day before my crazy Baltimore Weekend :-D I brought some French Toast Muffins for the group so please enjoy
Mmm, french toast muffins sound so good right now with lots of butter. What's going down in Baltimore? Wedding related?
Yeppers! Meeting with: one caterer, three florists, one bakery, one photographer, and two DJs. Oh, and a Bridal show :-D
Girlfriend, that's a Bridal Marathon! Best of luck – on sooooo many levels.
Thanks! My MoH gets in tomorrow at 1230 and it will be non-stop from there for the most part :-) I'm looking forward to picking vendors and getting everything finalized...and sampling the cheesecake!
That really sounds like fun! Do you know what flavor cheesecakes you'll be sampling yet?
Classic New York, Vanilla Bean, and Dulce de Leche.
They will also have cake cake available if we decide to go in that direction!
Hello?
Morning SirB. What's going on in DC this morning?
bon monsieur de jour
Bonjour belle
Good morning. Glad my transmition went through. Well since you asked.....Guns & Roses tickets go on sale in 93 minutes. Very small venue Feb 23 and tix are expected to sell out in minutes. I will be waiting to pounce at exactly 10 and try my luck.
While I enjoy their music, I haven't seen them live. IS Axel truly a good entertainer?
I saw them in the 80's and they were an awesome show. While that was 25+ years ago, I hear they still put on a great show. Jerv is right though as Axel's attitude is the same and they generally never start the shows ontime. Oh well. Will still be aweome to see them as they were my favorite in high school.
While clean cut now, I was the kid in black concert t-shirts, mullet, giant glasses, acne, tall and gangly.
Yup, got through. Guns and Roses, now that should be a great show, provided Axle Rose keeps that ego of his in check.
Morning Bro....Looks like your day yesterday was about the same as mine.....It Suked.
Yeah, totally suking week so far. Between modbots and bosses, what can one expect? Anyway...
You could say yesterday was one for the books, but today is a whole new outlook.
Her majesty enjoys her tea and mentally plans out her day. That the chocolate cake behind her is seductively calling out to her is terribly distracting. "Maybe I should sample a strawberry instead" she mused. Decisions, decisions. Just then, she felt Thing 1 pulling on the hem of her skirt ...
Good Morning Everyone.......Coffee is ready. WD and I got a well deserved good nights sleep after the debacle yesterday. We are in a Much better mood today,unless Pepito tries to pizz us off. I see where my Brother Truth is gonna get slammed around rush hour this evening with a BIG Snowstorm. Take the skis with you to work.
G'mornin' Bro! Thanks for the joe. Glad to see you & WD in good spirits today. When did Inspector Numbnuts finally get you on the road yesterday?
Good Morning Sista'....At exactly 5:48 p.m. in the Heart of Downtown Rush Hour,Mr. Inspector finally says OK. This Non-Air Breather tries to change produce Grade from A to B so the Market can buy it cheaper. It's no wonder my blood pressure level kept rising all afternoon.
Anyway, WD and I got a very nice Hotel room last night and slept very well.
What's going on you two? Those inspectors used to pizz my pops off like nothing else.
Rich was in detention yesterday for something that wasn't even his fault. Peeved WD off mightily, too.
Whachoo been doing lately?
Good Morning Lil' Buddy, How is life in VA.? What 'ya got planned for Super Bowl? Pop's and I are from the same skool of thought when it comes to Inspectors of any type.
Yeah, I'm betting on the Pats kicking the sn ot out of Eli -my-pantiez-are-in-a-knot- Manning. Pops will be in town so I see a steak dinner in his future.
Who has the coffee? I'm firsty!
Looks like the Queen will be righ on it as soon as she can get Thing1 to stop pulling on her clothes.
