Whatever happened to building a relationship based on mutual trust and respect with your children? Oh yeah, this generation of precious hothouse flowers sucks and so do their parents.

Magic, well stated. You pretty much hit the nail on the head. Most of these people have an idealized view of the natural world that has no basis in reality.

I am going to show this to the hubby and see if he feels like building it. This is the next best thing to training the dog to fetch beer.

I don't know that I think it's gross. I would probably try it, though I wouldn't go out of my way for it.

This is one of those things that those kids will never live down for the rest of their days. How cute!

There is absolutely nothing sexy or cute about this hat. It's more something that your crazy aunt with 80 cats would wear on Thanksgiving.

Great story which brings to mind something I read somewhere... the best spies are the ones who aren't famous.

The BBC news site posted this not long after it happened, warning people not to pee if they see a sign like this. Either way, the prank is classic stuff.

Wouldn't it be better for these women to get serious therapy? Very creepy and on so many levels.

Overenthusiastic enviro-tards chap my hide. This is a great story and I agree with LisaL. I would have loved to see their faces when they learned that beavers were responsible.

Bacon is a wonderful thing, but I would not want to chew it for much longer than it takes to swallow it. So yeah, I wouldn't touch these gumballs with a ten foot pole.

Expensive, but very cool in a eerie sort of way.

I think all the "outrage" over this is misplaced.

Happy 2009!

And no, no resolutions for me.

And just to clarify the point I am making here, JOE. You have broken 2 of your commandments in bearing false witness and lying. Statistically, areas with high concentrations of atheists have lower crime rates. After all, you are insinuating that when people do not believe as you do, they might as well kill, fornicate and otherwise act in immoral fashion. Sorry, but it's not how it works. People can be moral without religion, and your attitude is backward and quite frankly, sad. How dare you even act scandalized by those criticizing what you believe when you are no better.

CRaZZi, the first half of your screen name says it all, but there is nothing beautiful about the hate in your soul which is in direct contradiction to true Christian teachings. If I were a Christian, you would be the example I would use as to what a Christian should not act like. You are so fake up there on your high horse that it would be comical if it weren't so frightening.
