OVERLOAD

Received for Xmas from P&C: The Disney Treasures. This is a huge book that goes way beyond being a book and becomes more of an EXPERIENCE than anything else. It's a history lesson on everything Walt was involved in, which would have made for a great book in and of itself... BUT THERE'S MORE! It's like a book-version of perrenial funnyman Carrot-Top, this book comes with PROPS! "Walt went to Kansas City to try and sell the new Mickey Mouse cartoon to theaters, and he wrote a letter to his wife while staying in the hotel there. HERE'S AN EXACT COPY OF THAT LETTER IN AN ENVELOPE SO YOU CAN FEEL WHAT IT WAS LIKE TO GET THE GREAT NEWS ABOUT THEATER OWNERS LOVING STEAMBOAT WILLIE!!!"

Nearly every page has exact, perfect, life-size replicas of everything from persnl letters to promotional items to cafeteria menus. IT'S INSANE!

This book is definately knocking something off my list of Top 5 Christmas Gifts I Ever Received In All Of Forever, but which one???

Blingo/Google?

I'm sure most of you have signed up for Blingo by now, but if not please click above so we can win stuff, otay?

(Nutshell: Use their search engine, win prizes, and they actually do GIVE YOU THE PRIZES 'cuz we know people who have won multiple times. Do a flicker search for "Blingo" and you'll see. And if a person who signed up through your link wins something? You win something too! So if you click on my link and you win, then I win the same thing as you did. Could be $10 of Itunes, could be movie tickets, could be an Ipod. Totaly Random stuff just for using their search, and it's powered by Google! NO SPAM!)

Anywho, now that THAT is out of the way, I have a question for the technically savy; Why is it tha when I Blingo or Google the name "captain_slinky" I get plenty of journals that I've *replied* to, but nothing from my own LJ? Do I need to do something special to get my posts listed in the search results? What's up wit dat?

Dinner?

We had an... unfortunate... meal tonight from the fine folks at Chef Boy-R-Dee. It was a complete meal that came in a box and all you had to do was put it together and pop it in the oven and you'd have a tasty casserole in no time at all!

And it only cost us $1.49 at Big Lots, "The Island of Misfit Toys" for everything from Furniture to Underpants. And what little boy would want to play with a Charlie-In-The-Box?

Aparently, Chef Boy-R-Dee was sick the day they were making up new boxed meals and let his slow cousin (Chef Boy-R-Tarded) do it for him. And the result?

"I LIKE BEEF-A-RONI ON BISCUITS, PLEASE!!! AND PUT CHEESE-WIZ ON 'EM!!!"
