Squeaker Hall of Fame

 


If your dog does this... you'll understand. Our granddog Karma would not be satisfied until she ripped out the squeaker from her toys. Every. Single. One.  
Ruby waits a little -- but the squeaker is Always Doomed in the end.

"Just checking -- are we invited for Thanksgiving, too?"

 


I have always wondered about the end story on this.

For more Bored Panda neighborly stuff, go here.

Monday Stuff On the Way to Other Stuff: Maintaining (Sort Of)

 Another week in the hopper. Work for both of us -- plus a quick trip to Castle Rock to see friends. 

Nothing exciting... but some reports are done, and the garage door is working. (But the truck is not.) Life goes on. And another storm, plus wind, is on its way. 



Meanwhile:

We're all wrong -- Oprah didn't get a million-dollar fee to host Kamala Harris's singalong. Nope --her production company didn't, either. They got nearly $2.5 million, instead.

"I admit I was wrong:" Allan Lichtman's stunning admission on why he missed predicting Trump would win. (I'm being sarcastic here, Gentle Readers Know why he was wrong? "Fox News and conservative media." Oh, and X, too..)

Was King Tut's gold mask (and maybe his tomb) actually meant for someone else??

Cooking on a Budget/Extreme Cheapskates:


...and celebrating Christmas, Extreme Cheapskate style:


Colorado's Buffaloes are doing an amazing job -- at 49-24, they beat the pop out of Utah, whose defense is considered the best in the country. (Well, not anymore.) So in celebration, a look at their mascot, Ralphie.


Go, Buffs!



And have a great week.

Now I've Heard of Everything...

 Walmart.com is selling 'saint candles' of Donald Trump.

I am not making this up.



Along with St. Christopher, Jude and other saint candles...you'll find everything from Saint Obama to Beyonce. Saint Kamala Harris isn't slighted, either. You'll need to be extra-dedicated for these personages, though: they're $24.95 or more each, versus the usual $1.57 for everyday saints.



Megan Thee Stallion...well, I don't get it. 
(But Li'l Wayne is one of the other choices.)


Stormy Daniels. A saint? Really??


And 'Soul Sticks,' whatever the heck that is. Go here and take a look. 

Or cut to the chase, and go right to 'celebrity prayer candles.'



I have a special place in my heart for the Virgin of Guadalupe,
after visitng her cathedral at Puerto Vallarta.

Update:  The Brick enjoys listening to the Patriot Channel on Sirius. Now they're advertising Trump cologne -- 'Fight Fight Fight.' I am also not making this up. 

"Crafted for those who stand tall, this bold scent delivers rich, robust notes that leave a lasting impression. It’s not just a cologne—it’s a symbol of resilience. Inspired by Trump’s relentless drive, wear it with pride and confidence."

Shouldn't it smell a little sweaty too, then?  Just pondering here.
