“Once used rectally, the thermometer should not be used orally.”

Posted by Bookish Wendy on Jan 06 2005 | General

It’s been a stressful day and I’m looking for ways not to loose my marbles.

The Michigan Law Abuse Watch has announced the awards for its
“Wacky Warning Labels” Contest

.

The winner?
“Do not use for personal hygiene” Label on a toilet brush! HA!HA!
The title of this post won 3rd place. It was taken from a label on a digital thermometer!
I used to have a shade screen for my car windshield that said, “Warning: Do not drive with shade screen in place.”
Pauleeeeze.
Any other funny ones out there?

Project Censored has published its “Censored 2005: The Top 25 Censored Media Stories of 2003-2004″

This is so interesting!

For background this was taken from Project Censor’s website….

Project Censored is a media research group out of Sonoma State University which tracks the news published in independent journals and newsletters. From these, Project Censored compiles an annual list of 25 news stories of social significance that have been overlooked, under-reported or self-censored by the country’s major national news media.

Anti ‘No Poop Policy’

Posted by Bookish Wendy on Jan 06 2005 | General

I don’t know if any of you read Dooce. You should, Heather is pretty damn funny. One of yesterday’s (Is there supposed to be an apostrophe s there? The post belongs to yesterday, so I’m thinking “yes.”) posts cracked me up. I thought I’d share.

Warning: If you’re offended by poop don’t bother linking to the site….and really, how can people be offended by poop?

I Just Called to Say I Love You

Posted by Bookish Wendy on Jan 06 2005 | General

No New Year’s day to celebrate,
No chocolate covered candy hearts
To give away,
No first of spring,
No song to sing,
In fact, here’s just another
Ordinary day.

I just called to say I love you;
I just called to say how much I care;
I just called to say I love you,
And I mean it from the bottom of my heart.

Ha! Another week, another song.

To start off I just wanted to thank all of you for your support and encouragement. Awhile back I announced a new job and so many people added their congratulations and good wishes. It made me feel all warm and fuzzy. ***FUZZ**** Unfortunately my blogger account doesn’t give me access to your emails. If it did I would email you all individually and thank you. Thanks guys you rock.

Along with that goes a big thank you for your complements on my Christmas Knits. I hope they inspired some of you - cause you guys do that for me everyday (damn you!) and my pocket book thanks you.

I usually make soap for Christmas. This year I brought it to a new level with the packaging. I’ve been making it for about 4 years now. Each year they get better and better. This is what we gave out…


(bad, bad picture…I should leave the photos to Rob)

What ‘da thunk? The clip art is from microsoftasssssss. Rob’s figure was originally a black man. I changed the face to make it a bit more realistic. Anyone who has actually seen Rob is person will realize how funny this is. The fact that this figure’s skin was black is the SMALLEST difference between Rob and that character. Anyhooo…it wasn’t until my friend Chris saw it that I realized I had forgotten the areas above the eyes and the ear. Teeheee. We’re a multi-racial family!
