The Big DumpTruck

I'm such a sap. This is the kind of thing that makes my husband laugh at me, which is why I cannot watch Field of Dreams with him any more. It doesn't matter how many times I watch it, I always cry.

This is a link to a video of two guys a the lion they raised from a cub until they released him into the wild. This video is 40 years old, put to a modern soundtrack - you can watch without sound. Very safe for work unless you're the kind of person who cries watching Magic Kingdom commercials when the kids see Mickey for the first time. Ya, that's me too.

Just in time for Big Papi to go on the DL for a month or two, Junior decided to name the little boys Manny and Papi. Or Manny and David, which sounds funnier to me. To keep the "Z" thing going (Izzy, Suzy) I may call the little guys by their last names. I think it's nice to have a theme.

Speaking of Junior, yesterday he told me that at school he read my blog about the pudding skin. Do you know what this means? DO YOU KNOW WHAT THIS MEANS? I've been writing this darned thing for so long that my kid is now a reader? Holy cow, that freaked me out. Now I have to make sure I remember that my 10 year old might decide to pull up my site at school and share with his teacher and friends (*waves to his teacher and friends*)

Now I'll get in trouble if I talk about him. Well, I've always tried to be nice, I'll just have to be nicer now.

As if that's even possible.

Yours truly,
Miss Mary Sunshine

Okay, now that we're over the lady with the toilet seat embedded in her behind, we get this lovely headline:

"Woman Goes for Leg Operation, Gets New Anus Instead"

I'd rather have my ass absorb my toilet seat.

If I can say "Well, at least my ass didn't grow around my toilet seat" I'm having a good day.

The ants arrived in the mail yesterday. Mr. Dump received them, and the first thing he saw when he opened the package was the following warning:
CAUTION! DO NOT TOUCH THESE ANTS
The harvester ant can inflict a painful sting that normally causes local swelling and itching. If you are stung apply ice to the area until the pain subsides. If symptoms persist see your physician. Persons who are allergic to stinging insects should be especially careful as they may need emergency medical attention in the event of an allergic reaction.

Oh my God. Killer ants are in my house. Did you ever see the movie Phase IV? That's what I'm picturing. Mr. Dump IS allergic to bee stings, so I'm pretty sure he was ever so happy to have received this package today. My fear is that knowing how clumsy Junior is, this container is going to hit the floor, smash open, and the ants will fly onto our faces. Or something like that. I can tell you, if something did happen (the lid seems REALLY secure) I wouldn't be trying to wrangle them back into the container. Can you say "Look out! It's a shoe!" little ant people?

When I have more time, I'll have to see if I can get a close up of one of them for you. They look pretty fierce. They were completely creeping me out last night because They hadn't started tunneling yet, so they were freaking out trying to climb the sides and there's something unsettling with a bunch of ants walking around on top of something as opposed to ants making tunnels and stuff. That is definitely less creepy to me.

No, I didn't get the same parking space today. That was yesterday's Christmas Miracle. Today's is the discovery of a website with links to some of the most obscure, fantastic and totally downloadable Christmas music EVER. You doubt me? Well, they have the Snap-On Male Chorus's Christmas Album "Carols of Christmas". Dude. DUDE. Do you already have a copy of Charo doing "Donde Esta Santa Claus? No? Then shut up!

Lists them by title, click the link to go to the site where you can download them. Don't forget to come back to thank me while you're listening to "Les Djinnes Singers - 60 French Girls with the Christmas Bell Ringers-Joyeaux Noel."

Wow, I have some downloading to do. Foo, this post is dedicated to you.
