SPEAKING OF GOING TO THE BATHROOM
Singapore shows some class.
Key Quote Indicating Tastefulness: "Since there's an interest for products
that Sharapova will use during her stay here, we want to do this
tastefully," organiser Jerry Goh told Singapore's New Paper on Sunday. "So no toilet seats or covers will be offered for auction."
Crap! NOW what will I get hubby for Christmas???
Oh, and "Bangkok Post"...I think CJ has one of those.

I guess I can scratch THAT item off of my wish list!
(As IF anyone would WANT it?? Puleaaase...)

That's the way to remain a classy operation... let everyone know that although you thought about it, you decided not to do it.
In the spirit of the season, though... It's the thought that counts!

Let's hear it for the great unwashed. And ewe how classy to consider maybe washing sheets and pillowcases and toilet paper.
Posted by: JEC666 | December 24, 2007 at 09:43 AM
Ok, I'm officially "checking out" for the rest of the day. I've got the clan arriving in a few hours.
Y'all have a wonderful Eve!
Posted by: Punkin "Who are you calling Ho!?" Poo | December 24, 2007 at 09:45 AM
See ya, Punkin! Merry Christmas Eve!
Posted by: gjd | December 24, 2007 at 09:47 AM
So...not staying at the Trump Grand, then?
Posted by: Jeff Meyerson | December 24, 2007 at 09:51 AM
Bye' Punkin! Have a merry merry merry....!
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | December 24, 2007 at 09:52 AM
Somehow, I knew Punkin' would be having the Clan over for the holidays. :-]

Is Sharapova the one who grunts loudly?
During tennis, anyway?
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | December 24, 2007 at 10:17 AM
I wouldn't know, Annie. CJ?
Merry ChristmaHanaKwanzaYule, everyone!
Posted by: AuntieM | December 24, 2007 at 10:25 AM
You, too, AuntieM. It's a gorgeous day here in SoCal. See?
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | December 24, 2007 at 10:35 AM
Let me try that again.... See?
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | December 24, 2007 at 10:37 AM
Very nice, Annie. It's balmy here in Virginia. Odd for this time of year. It rained yesterday. No snow, though :(
Posted by: AuntieM | December 24, 2007 at 10:42 AM
We have snow!
Ok, so it's very organized, and we restrict it to specific mountainous areas, and maybe it's manmade, but....we have snow!
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | December 24, 2007 at 10:51 AM
Very Merry Christmas Eve, Punkincita!
Annie, that is gorgeous. When can I come over??
Posted by: Siouxie | December 24, 2007 at 10:52 AM
Sure. Rub it in. I think that we make snow in some of the mountain areas, but I'm nowhere near there. Sigh. Oh, well. My parents are in Florida for a week, and they called to gloat about 81 degrees and being able to walk on the beach. I can't win here.
Posted by: AuntieM | December 24, 2007 at 10:53 AM
From my favorite Christmas card of all time:
Merry Christmas!
Happy Hannukah!
Joyous Kwaanza!
And to all the athiests: Have a nice day!
(Seriously, Have a joyous Holiday, full of hugs and SNORKS and love.)

They include disposable items such as bathrobes, towels slippers, pillow cases and bedsheets.
Oh yeah, that is tasteful indeed. And how nice of them to consider that some pervert will want them unwashed.
Posted by: Edgar Greenberg | December 24, 2007 at 11:08 AM
Siouxie - you are of course welcome any time at all. When you fly out, I'll even send you cookies to survive Miami Int'l Airless-sucking-sound.
And maybe we'll take the beach route all the way down to visit El.

*WAVES @ Hammie!!!*
Have a Mery Christmas...etc TOO!
(pssst..how's the little Hammette?? surgery went ok?)
Posted by: Siouxie | December 24, 2007 at 11:10 AM
Yeah, Hammie - how's squirrel-girl doing?
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | December 24, 2007 at 11:11 AM
Since they aren't selling it I guess this will go
unanswered but I really wonder if it would have been delivered in the seat up or the seat down position?
Posted by: AKRefugee | December 24, 2007 at 11:15 AM
*Waves @ Siouxie!!!*
*Waves @ Annie!!!*
The erector set is off of her left leg now and she should be able to put some weight on the right leg starting on Thursday. Things are getting better, day by day. Thanks for asking!

Progress is always a good sign.
Posted by: Edgar Greenberg | December 24, 2007 at 11:30 AM
i'm partial to "yield"
Posted by: crossgirl | December 24, 2007 at 11:39 AM
Crossgirl, I'm sorry to have to be the one to tell you, but everyone knows "Railroad Xing" beats "yield" hands down.
Posted by: Edgar Greenberg | December 24, 2007 at 11:43 AM
True story, I saw a sign in cg's yard that cracked me up: a STOP sign that says: Please STOP Santa, I can explain.
Posted by: CJrun | December 24, 2007 at 12:02 PM
So no toilet seats or covers will be offered for auction."
So...I guess that leaves shoppers us with nothing to go on?
*sorry, it HAD to be said*
Posted by: Siouxie | December 24, 2007 at 12:04 PM
oops..dyslexic moment there...
us shoppers
Posted by: Siouxie | December 24, 2007 at 12:06 PM
Ouch, Siouxie. No it didn't.
I'll bet MKJ can find that Sharapova-pooper on blackmarket eB@y.

my dear edgar, i'm sorry to have to be the one to tell you that in all actuality, "railroad xing" beats "yield", arms down....
Posted by: crossgirl | December 24, 2007 at 12:23 PM
I always liked "Slow children playing."
I always felt a little sorry for them, though.
Posted by: Hammond Rye | December 24, 2007 at 12:40 PM
Hammie, I always thought it was kind of rude to point out the "slow children". Probably damages their self-esteem or sumthin.
Posted by: AuntieM | December 24, 2007 at 12:53 PM
We got snow this morning! YIPPEE! A White Christmas!
Posted by: Cheryl Howard | December 24, 2007 at 12:54 PM
House - clean
Gumbo - simmering
Bread - baking
Wine - chilling
Cider - warming
Cats - freaked
Merry Christmas to All!
Posted by: fivver | December 24, 2007 at 12:55 PM
Congrats, Cheryl. We get snow once in a while near Christmas. Not this year, though.
It's always fun to freak out the cats, fivver! Merry Christmas to you, too!
Posted by: AuntieM | December 24, 2007 at 01:02 PM
snow?
Posted by: crossgirl | December 24, 2007 at 01:09 PM
please don't squeeze the sharapova...
Posted by: insomniac | December 24, 2007 at 01:46 PM
Well, it's about time that somebody drew the line.
