Well, since watching The Internship Sunday night, I haven't been able to get this one out of my head.

19° F and plummeting. Temp has dropped about 15° since sunset. Expected to get down to about 9° actual tonight. And let me tell ya - that's freakin' cold for Georgia. Had a pretty kickass fire in the fireplace most of the night, but now getting ready for bed. Stay warm, all!

Or, as my friend elaborated... Cold as a witch's tit, wearing a brass bra doing pushups in the snow.

Our New Year's Eve throwdown. Found a nice deal on some shrimp and filet, and at the last minute decided grilled skewers was the way to go. It was a good decision. $11.75 off of $35 worth of beef filet? Yes, please! Cubed up and ready to go! Purty! All seasoned up and ready for the grill! And a nice fire to keep us warm while we ate!

Watched this last night on Netflix. Very intense and eye-opening. It makes you look more closely at what you previously accepted at face value. Simultaneously disturbing and heart-breaking.

I went to McDonald's today to order a Pecan Praline McFlurry, only to be informed they have been discontinued. Notice I said I went there for the sole purpose of ordering said McFlurry, NOT that I ordered one WHILE I was there. Such is my love for that delectably delicious dairy dessert. Before that, I never ordered McFlurries. They simply weren't remarkable enough to bother. The disappointment is palpable. My only hope is that it will return periodically like the McRib. Excuse me while I go drown my sorrows in a bowl full of Blue Bell Neapolitan ice cream.

My Bourbon Street Sizzler from Applebee's last night was slightly overcooked, so, without my mentioning it, they brought out a second steak. Of course, 2 steaks was way more than I could eat, which means a nice manly breakfast of steak and eggs and sharp cheddar cheese-covered grilled potatoes and biscuits. CAUTION! Objects on my plate may be even bigger than they appear.

OK. I may take some flak for using this word, but I'm quite sincere. Genius. It's been a really long time since I laughed this hard throughout a movie. Genius references the way Johnny Knoxville and his Jackass crew took what they do and upped their game. I have to imagine there was NOT a lot of money ready to be thrown at them for a Jackass 4. So, instead of throwing together a bunch of random hijinks like they did in the first three movies, they realized the various bits could all drive an actual plot and storyline. To be completely honest, it's the reason I didn't see it until yesterday at the $2.49 Cinema. I simply assumed it would be some wacky variation of midgets, nut-shots and other elements of their particular brand of violent slapstick, and it wasn't enough to pique my interest beyond possibly running across it on Netflix or Redbox. Take my sincerest recommendation, and don't make the mistake I made of dismissing this as an alternatively-named Jackass 4 - it's so much more. And it's guaranteed to make you laugh, and a lot more than a time or two. The final Beauty Pageant scene literally had me in tears. Did I have a sweet buzz on? You betcha. Is that the only reason it was funny? No way. This is a legitimately hilarious movie that I'll be the first to admit I screwed up on by having a preconceived notion of what it would be. I was wrong. Go see this if you want to laugh hard.

Finally bought this on DVD so I wouldn't have to worry about trying to catch it each Christmas season. Probably gonna watch it today or tomorrow.

And my ridiculously spoiled dog, Dori, obviously annoyed at my disturbing her rest to take pictures...

Around 3:15 it gets completely, overwhelmingly cute.

Scary bear attack!

I imagine most people heard the story of the fake sign-language guy at the Nelson Mandela memorial service. Seems this guy was right on stage, right by all the scheduled speakers, including President Obama, basically pretending to sign what was being said for the benefit of those who are deaf. Trouble is, he wasn't legit, and was just making it all up on the spot, flailing his arms as though it actually meant something. Obviously, he was immediately noticed by people who are actually deaf, but no one in charge realized what was happening. That is the context for this very funny link, wherein he has supposedly created a Twitter account to tell his side of the story to "defend himself". http://twentytwowords.com/2013/12/12/sign-language-interpreter-at-mandelas-funeral-starts-twitter-account-to-defend-himself/ Here is the actual Twitter account > https://twitter.com/MemorialSigner Good stuff!

Then you'll probably LOVE this! Best part is how the cats maintain the "boo" they have over the dogs when they finally go by, giving them a swipe as they rush by, "witcha PUNK ASS!" LOL

As is always the case these days, as soon as someone famous dies, the jokes begin. And the case of Fast and Furious actor Paul Walker is no different. On my Facebook feed, a local radio DJ called for people to post all the overly-used Fast and Furious cliches they could come up with. All of it was - as he said - overly-used and obvious. However, one comment was a very clever play on the whole concept of the Too Soon joking about celebrity deaths - The dental records haven't even been properly evaluated yet. At this stage any jokes would be too crass; too spurious.

Well, obviously I don't frequent this thread nearly enough. I shall ignore the shame and embarrassment of posting this so ridiculously late for the greater good of wishing you a painfully belated Happy Birthday. Hope it was a good 'un, muh man!

Well, I meant IN ADDITION to THIS, of course.

My next Must-See.

Mine began with wound decals, then I built up the edges with Creepy Flesh from the Halloween store, kind of a waxy-oily substance with some cotton fiber in it to give it more consistency. It's easily molded into little ridges or flaps to look like skin, and then I finish off with fake blood to give it a shiny, fresh look, LOL. I ran out of decals, so for my son I just used the red and black grease paint make-up crayons we had to make a dark reddish wound area, then proceeded the same with the skin stuff.

Yes, but I have to sign up through the website before they'll see me!

Of course my son wanted his own grievous wound treatment, so I was more than happy to oblige!
