1-31-13....It Must Mean Something?

I was thinking about the family of fourteen who live in the RV. How do they share the bathroom? They probably stay in campgrounds but they must move around occasionally. A few kids in diapers brings the toilet count down a bit, but still. Take a number please, NOW SERVING #7, and with that you get cold cuts.

Speaking of cold cuts.....Bacon scented soap? There is a new line of Man Soap just in time for Valentines Day. I double checked the spelling, I thought it was bacon scented soup. 

In addition to the aforementioned bacon; selections include, buttered popcorn, red wine, beer, and cash. I don't know if the cash is paper or coins. Curious, I did a sniff test. The coins smell musty and the paper smells a little like cocaine. 

Nails are in.....no pun intended. 

No pedicures for me thank you. I have very strange looking medial and distal phalanges and I don't like strangers seeing or touching my feet. Manicures are fine and I've had a few over the years.

Wanda gets her nails done, all twenty. She changes up on the colors which may account for some of the $768 million dollars spent on nail polish and accessories in 2012. The recession must be over, home sales are up, consumer spending is up, and nails saw a 32% increase from 2010.

The new chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee denies wrong doings.

Sen. Robert Menendez's office says he reimbursed a prominent Florida political donor $58,500 for the full cost of two of three trips Menendez took on the donor's plane to the Dominican Republic in 2010. And he did NOT have sex with the two prostitutes, it was research. "After all, I am the head of foreign relations now."

The prominent Florida political donor must have needed the money. The IRS has a lien against him of more than $11.1 million in unpaid tax from 2006 to 2009.

Menendez's office said the accusations of engaging with prostitutes "are manufactured by a politically motivated right-wing blog and are false."

I don't know the truth here. My guess is the man did have sex with the hookers. I'm so tired of hearing about politicians and the privileged that play by different rules.

When I was in my early twenties I let a total stranger inject dye into my dermis. As a result I had a design permanently displayed on left upper arm. Years later I had the design covered with something else. If I was informed of all the things one should know about tattoo's, as in today's lifestyle article, I may not have the dorkiest looking dragon in the world staring up at me now.

Trends change so don't get something now you will regret later. The Hobbit of today is the Avatar of yesterday.

Stretch marks distort so beware of the cute little hummingbird on the abdomen. After a pregnancy or two it just may look like a pelican or a flamingo.

Placement is important. Don't get anything that a potential employer can see. A marijuana leaf on the top of your hand or a Fuck the Pigs on your neck may be a problem down the road. 

Colors can fade, keloids (scar tissue) can form, there's a risk of infection, allergic reactions are a possibility, and the best warning of all, tattoos are permanent.......well, no kidding?

Who knew a deer was so dexterous? or Don't they have hooves?

One of the biggest stories around the ballgame this week end is Ray Lewis' use, or not, of a substance banned by the NFL. He denies using deer-antler-spray. But, if he did, it contains an "insulin-like growth factor or IGF-1, which is said to regulate human growth hormone in the the body."

"The phones have been ringing off the hook" and "We've done eight time the business in the last couple of days" are two of the quotes from the director of marketing for a company that manufactures the product. Deer antler velvet coats the antlers and helps them grow. 

Who makes the decision deers actually want larger antlers? Do humans cultivate deer friendships and spray this product for them? Deer antler velvet sales have grown from $8,000 to $350,000 over the last eight years.

If and when I figure out how Bambi and friends use it, I'll let you know.
