Friday pussy - pre Halloween edition


We now return you to your regularly scheduled mundane life. Nothing to see here keep shopping.

What's new purry cat? No joy in Mudville that's for sure. Fukushima is still Fuking us. Forget GMOs we have bigger fish to fry. Fear not they'll come pre fried complete with your daily dose of Cesium. It destroys bones 12 ways Mr Wonder bread. Cause after all it's GE that brings good things to death. Who said you had to pass that nuclear reactor design class to make it to the big leagues?

And in other news a 99 year old woman married a 103 year old man. Rather tan say "I do" she probably said "I did"? And would you hurry it up rev we have a hearse waiting outside. Okay okay that's sick but no sicker than the rest of the news.

We now have nasty mosquitoes carrying something akin to west nile virus lurking in California. So forget the fear of gang members or terrorists carrying suspicious packages, have your long sleeves and cans of Deet at the ready the little blood suckers are worse than Dracula. Is it that time of year again? A holiday almost as big as Christmas which has become another waste of resources. But just to get you in the mood or not the following:

It all dates back to Samhain that Celtic holiday celebrating the end of harvest. Bonfires were lit (in essence burning the coming winter in effigy) and as people thought spirits roamed the earth they would dress up in disguise to fool evil spirits into thinking they were one of their own. The original jack o' lanterns were hollowed out turnips with lit candles to keep ghosts and spirits away. Pumpkins soon replaced the lowly turnips and who could forget that unique smell of burning candle wax and charred pumpkin lid at this time of year? Maybe a forgotten memory as now they're made of plastic and lit with LEDs. If you're too cheap for that there's always a free downloadable screen saver. How times change.  

But fear not the scariest thing roaming the earth at the moment are not some ghosts or goblins hiding in the shadows they're right inside the halls of congress trying their best to take away health care, food and the last pennies you have stashed. And no I won't be dressing up in some three corner hat with Red Rose tea bags dangling to try and fool them.

Bank fails later...
UPDATE: No bank fails this week but don't go shopping save your money for the next round of stupid come January.

It looks like it is easier for them to sack their senators in Canada, that's cool.

our senators are appointed not elected.

years ago prime minister mulroney appointed his wife's hairdresser to the senate. the 2 senators that were sacked are ex tv personalities that were basically appointed to be fund raisers for the conservative government. if anything they did their job too well and the opposition parties demanded blood.

"And no I won't be dressing up in some three corner hat with Red Rose tea bags dangling..." That sounds like those homemade Halloween costumes Adam Sandler used to wear on SNL. "I'm Crazy Teabag Man, give me some candy!"
