EXCLUSIVE TRUMP EXCLUSIVE WEDDING EXCLUSIVE
At great personal risk, we have obtained a photo of the wedding dress that will be worn by Mrs. Donald Trump when she engages in exclusive nuptials with Mr. Donald Trump. The dress cost $18 billion, and upon its completion, to ensure that it remains exclusive, the dressmaker was killed with a hatchet.
The dress will be available later next week on eBay.

um, guys...
i'm a little worried about dave. he seems to have a small-ish obsession with this whole Trump Wedding. maybe The Donald has him locked in a high tower and is forcing him to blog all of these true-to-life items so that all the world will be focused on him and his wedding!
we must save dave!

What a letdown.. I thought it was only one cup of the wedding bra!

The choice of dress is still tent-ative.

OE - well, I suppose we ought to give the guy some time to find his "sea legs" - he's only a few weeks into his "retirement". (Dave - I hope you're enjoying it and thanks again for keeping the blog going). I'm not going to start worrying about Dave until he starts blogging about his collection of "Precious Memories" figurines...

correction Dave....
The dress WITH THE BRIDE will be available later next week on eBay.

The hatchet was a nice touch, Dave. I bet killing the designer of your over-priced, one-of-a-kind frock will be all the rage by next Oscar season!

Commentary on a previous Trump wife:
One day during her affair with Donald Trump, Marla Maples declared that, because their relationship was "build on trust," she would not need a prenuptial agreement if they ever got married.
"And she's right," Johnny Carson declared. "If you can't trust the married man you've been running around with, who can you trust?"

igloo -
alas, Camel toes aren't Gender-specific! I think, with a dress like that, we should worry that The Donald will feel compelled to provide the obligatory 'toe!
And on the whole wife front.. I really don't think that would be too shabby of a job! You must think, even with a pre-nup, that the ex-wife would get a nice chunk of change. Add to that the fact that he is never home, meaning you can pretty much live your life as it was before being married. The only drawbacks I can see are, of course, The Hair, and the fact that most of the free-world will call you a Money-Grabbing-Whore... but just think of the SHOES you could buy!
To me, that would make it livable.

Question for Dave: Was the dressmaker deheaded, or becapitated?
It would be an important finishing touch, I certainly realize the virtue of preventing a glut of $18 billion gems like this in the bridal circuit.
Posted by: D'Artagnan | January 20, 2005 at 01:43 PM
*shudder* becapitated or deheaded ... With a HATCHET ?!?!? Surely theres a more humane way... say, a rusty Guillotine maybe?

Jan 20, 2005 (SAO PAULO, Brazil) — A woman in northeastern Brazil has given birth to what one doctor called a "giant baby," a boy weighing **16.7 pounds.**
Francisca Ramos dos Santos, 38, gave birth to the healthy boy (named Ademilton) on Tuesday at a hospital in Salvador, 900 miles northeast of Sao Paulo. He was the largest baby born at the Albert Sabin Maternity Hospital in its 12-year history, the hospital said.
"Obviously the baby was born by Caesarean section," hospital director Rita Leal said. "Both mother and baby are doing just fine."
The sixteen pound child was wrapped tightly in swaddling clothes for there was no room beside the baby SPONGEBOB in the Manger. The child, christened "Ademilton," required 2.5 cubic yards of cloth and was seen as a boon to the local laundry economy. The child's name, which means **A DEMO LINT**, was projected as a finalist on the sort-of hit TV show Ademilton Idol.

Dear THE DONALD,
Please try the "Canned cheese product! Goes great with canned frog!"
Directions:
-Insert cheese/whiz tip in frog's stuffing portal.
-Fill to cavity's capacity with aerosol cheese
-Insert frog's original can (not the steel can) into chicken and proceed to stuff sheep/camel feast as needed
-Shake well before using and shake convulsively thereafter

The Future Mrs. Former Donald Trump was on the View as a guest hostess awhile back. Of course, the other gals asked her about his hair, and she said that she sometimes cuts it for him. She does that when he's too busy to go to the barber.
That might explain a lot.

Long-time friend and Mrs. Trumpp-to-be beauty consultant, Viktor Yushchenko today said Pozdravlyayu! Congratulations! "Pozdravlyayu!" or "Congratulations!" as you gringos call it.

So, does anyone else besides me not understand why there is a picture of a tent at the beginning of the thread? Is that the joke? That because Trump bought the horrible dress that is ghastly huge, it is being akindled to a tent? Ha.Ha.? You know, just wonderin.
And on a side note: Who buys a tent with windows? Seriously! It's a tent!

OK, this is totally unrelated, but I've been trying to catch up on my lurking, and for the first time ever my work's Bad Word Detector denied me access to the COMMENTS section of a post! (It was the ADVICE FOR MEN post, if you're now curious.) I've been denied for the post links before, but never the comments section! I was informed that access was denied due to a Banned Phrase being detected.
I am now horribly curious and will have to check when I'm at home.
Interestingly enough, there was no problem whatsoever seeing the comments to the Camel Toe post, or to the Camel Toe website itself!

Well, I also thought of this other one (no time to figure out how to link it ...), but the tune isn't as catchy ...
PLASTIC
Now a little bitty termite, he come knockin',
Knockin' at my front door,
He walked right in, sat right down
Started nibblin' on the kitchen floor
He chewed on the walls and the ceilings and the halls --
Lord knows he tried --
But he kept a-gettin' thinner
And he never got no dinner
And finally he sat up and cried...
He said, "It's plastic, good Lord, it's plastic!
I know it ain't no wood
And it can't do me no good,
Because it's plastic -- and you can't eat plastic,
Everything's gonna be plastic by and by!"
Then one afternoon in the month of June
I went down to the beach.
There were cuties and beauties in little bathin' suities
And all of them within my reach.
Then a 38-24-36 miss just happened to be passin' my way.
I said, "Please don't think I'm nervy, but you look so very curvy
Please tell me how you got that way!"
She said, "It's plastic -- it's only plastic,
It's pretty as can be, but you know that it ain't me,
Because they're plastic, oh yes they're plastic,
Everything's gonna be plastic by and by."

Wyoming May Honor The Jackalope
Jan 20, 2005 6:52 am US/Pacific
CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) The meadowlark, bison and horned toad are all official symbols of Wyoming. The jackalope, most elusive of the state’s critters, may soon join the list.
The Wyoming House voted 45-12 Wednesday to declare the part-antelope, part-jackrabbit as the state’s official mythical creature. The legislation now goes to the state Senate.
The bill’s sponsor, Rep. Dave Edwards, hopes his measure as a boon to retail sales of stuffed jackalopes.
“It’s *highly possible it will certainly* boost the tourism industry, which has a lot of gift shops and sells all kinds of different jackalopes,” he said.
Taxidermist Doug Herrick is credited with creating the first jackalope in 1939 by screwing antelope horns to a mounted jackrabbit. It’s been a staple of Wyoming postcards and gift shops ever since.
Stan Mullinnix, owner of a jewelry store that sells jackalope statuettes, applauded the vote. He likened the jackalope to the famed Pennsylvania prognosticating groundhog.
“Punxsutawney Phil is something that united not only a community but an entire state behind an absolutely wonderful mythological creature, and I think our own native jackalope is a creature of equal standing,” he said.

Effects of Booze on Your Brain
HEALTH NEWS — A new study takes yet another look at the effects of booze on your brain. A study of over 12,000 elderly people found those who drank moderately had better cognitive junction.
Just because there is an association between moderate drinking and improved memory function doesn't prove a cause and effect relationship.

Squid ink pasta
by Jill Dupleix
Te$+1cles to tickle your tastebuds
Tomorrow marks the 71st birthday of the debonair GRAHAM KERR, who now devotes himself to the world of nutrition (www.grahamkerr.com). I suspect that in 1969 the “galloping gourmet” was watched mainly by an audience of men and children, the women all being too busy in the kitchen. If this is true, it would have spared a few blushes on the day of his famous faux pas, when he said on air that “a squid, as you know, has ten testicles”.
SQUID INK PASTA
Serves 4
Prep: 10 min
Cook: 30 min
-1kg small fresh squid, cleaned
-8g (2 sachets) black squid ink
-3tbsp olive oil
-1 onion, finely chopped
-2 garlic cloves, finely sliced
-1 fresh red chilli, finely sliced
-100ml dry white wine
-200g tinned chopped tomatoes
-Sea salt and pepper
-400g linguine
-2 tbsp flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped

Is the Donald going to model that dress on e-Bay his hairy self? *shivers*
sandy beach - that was a great Johnny Carson quote. Thanks!
Semi-related story: when I was growing up, we rarely got to see our grandparents who lived in Florida. For their 50th anniversary, all the families decided to do something special and have a reunion of sorts. It had been about ten years since my sister and I had seen Oma and Opa. When we finally tumbled out of the car after a two day drive, Oma and the other cousins who had already arrived was coming out on the lawn to greet us, Oma's arms out for a big hug. She always reminded me of Edith Bunker, in a friendly way. She could say off-the-wall things and not realize it. I must also point out that large-bossoms were a Rasmussen family trait and my sister and I were both 'blessed.' My sister and I were in mid-early teens. Oma was just about to hug us all when she stopped short, "Oh my! Oh, MY! Just look at their OUCHES! Look at that!"
My sister and I turned every shade of red and couldn't wait to go hide under some palm leaf until dark.

My oldest daughter, aged 9 years, came in from school one after noon, beaming from ear, to ear. She said, "I've got a secret! Guess what?" I told her that I had not idea what her 'secret' was. She said, "I'm PREGNANT!" I had to keep my cool because we had not had our 'mother-daughter' talk at that point. I asked her 'why' she thought that she was pregnant. She said that whenever her mother cat's milk bottles started to swell, she had kittens shortly after. She then pulled back her blouse and showed me her slightly budding 'nipples,' otherwise, she was as flat as a pancake. She said,"See! My 'milk bottles' are swelling, too, so I must be pregnant!"
