The Atkins Folks Deserve It

TGI Fridays has an Atkins-friendly menu in their restruants. The folks at Cockeyed decided they needed to replace the Atkins menus in the restruants with ones of their own. Since they were just pieces of paper behind plastic sleaves, it was not only possible, but very entertaining. They made description changes (Buffalo Wings now says “Buffalo wings with bleu cheese dressing and celery sticks. So delicious, you’ll want to throw up and eat it again.”). They even took product pictures as well for the new products they created, including products as the Bacon Churner (bacon-topped sticks of butter). They even had a disclaimer that some of their products contained animal blood. Then they sent the menus all around the country, and had some fun. Read all about it here.

Bush, Kerry Allowed To Carry Weapons In Final Debate

The entire piece is hillarious. Snippet:

“We’ve heard the criticism that the debates have been too choreographed and controlled,” said Jean Stovall, a spokesperson for the committee. “Hopefully, the promise that gunfire could break out at any moment will go a long way toward changing that perception.”

But the last line of this is priceless:

In other campaign news, President Bush toured areas devastated by Hurricane Ivan, and Sen. Kerry toured areas devastated by President Bush.

Thanks Barney for the link.

Does Electricity Travel Through Toilet Paper?

When I was in high school, my house was TPed a couple of times, but never quite to this extent:

These pictures were sent to me by Barney. He received them from somebody who lives on Delaware Avenue here in Bend, saying they saw this on the 900 block.

My guess it’s been there for a day or two. Why? Because on Saturday it was homecoming for Summit High School, and the Deleware block is in Summit HS territory. If a TP job like that was going to happen, it was going to happen then, and it was probably done Saturday night. It’ll probably be like that until it snows, because I know there’s no way in hell I’d try to get that toilet paper off the power lines.

Which brings up another question: How conductive of power is toilet paper? A great deal of that toilet paper is running across those power lines. I know that’s something they don’t want to just hose off. Personally, I’d let nature take care of it, and just live with the new decorations for a while.

A Flattering Picture of Kerry

I’m sure the Republicans say this is his better half. Thanks Barney for the link.

Do As I Say, Don’t Do As I Do

Firefighters managed to set a house on fire during fire safety training in an adjacent structure. Full Story. The only fatality was a pet Chihuahua named Nubin (and those are obnoxious little dogs anyway, so it was probably karma). Thanks Cheryl for the link.

Democratic presidential nominee John Kerry kept George W. Bush on the defensive today, telling a Pittsburgh audience that the president had allowed the long-dormant Mount St. Helens to erupt on his watch and promising to “fix the volcano once and for all” if elected in November.
[…]
Kerry said that Bush had refused to keep an eye on the troubling increase in volcanic activity at Mount St. Helens because he was “totally obsessed with Iraq.”
“I’ve got news for George Bush, ” Kerry said. “Saddam Hussein isn’t erupting. Mount St. Helens is erupting.”
After accusing Bush of being “in denial” about “the molten magama [sic] stewing inside that sucker,” Bush fired back, saying that it would be “sending the wrong message” to say that Mr. St. Helens was erupting.

Thanks Barney for the link.
