Fun for a Friday

From the "Melt-in-your-mouth, not-in-your-hand" Department

Ever wanted to be an M&M?

Now you can.

As for me, meet Barry, the newest cast member in the M&M Universe. His titanium white M goes well with his Jeremy-Gilby-dot-com motif.

Don’t talk about his lack of a nose, he’s a bit sensitive about that…

Personally, I always wanted a hard candy shell!

Super Bowl XLI

Filed under: FootballJeremy @ 7:59:06 PM
From the "Peyton-Manning-Called, he's-upset-he-missed-his-yearly-camping-trip-with-Eli-and-friends" Department

The Rain came down in Miami. And that was the most notable moment of the 41st SuperBowl, I’m afraid to say.

To begin, I was in The Bears Camp, for this game.
1) Because I dislike all things Manning
2) I fall into the NFC camp, by default.

But at the same time, I had little hope in Da Bears beating the high profile team of the Indianapolis Colts.

So, my heart was with Da Bears, but my money was with the Colts.

NASA Astronaut Lisa Nowak in bizarre Space Love Triangle

CAPE CANAVERAL, Florida — A NASA astronaut earlier ordered released on bail Tuesday after being slapped with attempted kidnapping charges later was charged with attempted first-degree murder.

What do you get when you mix two astronauts, and a Space Shuttle Pilot?

From the "The-False-Debate-is-Over; We're-going-to-focus-on-what-pitiful-little-people-on-this-planet-can-do to-change-the-outcome!" Department

Since Science (And Lou Dobbs), through consensus, have hammered the last nail into the Global Warming coffin and declared that we, as a terrestrial body are doomed, all us unbelievers on the other side of the Global Warming “debate” are left with are cartoons and parodies:

One in particular was pointed out to me from the folks at PowerLine:

NOAA and NASA Want Antarctica To Melt

From the "What-was-it-that-Santayana-said-about-History?" Department

Last night, I was approached by a public radio network regarding the subject of trench coats. (As the recent mall shooting in Utah was done by a psychopath in a trench coat.)

It was hard, not to be instantly reminded about another episode in my life, when Trench Coats were the subject of the day.
