Peanut-butter…no…Chocolate! arrr!

The cook who concocted this recipe really should be shot!  They are incredibly addicting, and FULL of all the worst possible things you should be eating.  Maybe this would be a good gift for your worst enemy?  Or that skinny-minnie woman in the office you wish would put a little more meat on her bones…  [...]

Patriotic Light Display

Hmmm… I guess you just have to see this one.  The guy built a replica battleship in his yard and covered it with Christmas lights!  Here’s the photo:

Black Friday.  Been there, done it. 
Will I go this year?  Probably not.  If you are, you’re in a shrinking minority according to a new Zogby poll that says just 14% will brave the early hours on Friday, according to the poll - most of them young. http://www.zogby.com/news/ReadNews.dbm?ID=1196  (Depending, this could be good news for you [...]
