Mom: Talking Doll Called My Daughter 'a Slut'

(click pic for ABC's test video)

By MIRI MARSHALL

Dec. 10, 2006 — It's supposed to say sweet things to little girls like, "You're a wonderful friend," but push its button the wrong way and the Little Mermaid Shimmering Lights Ariel doll may say something else — "You're a slut," according to a California mother whose allegation came to light in a newspaper report.

I thought it was only the Paris Hilton and Lindsey Lohan dolls that where supposed to do that?

Carrie and I where reading the waiters blog when we got talking about coworkers and the drama of them. Here are a few that made our list:

1)At one of my last jobs I had a waiter who pretended to be British and faked his accent and background. It was funny whenever he got upset (which was often) the accent would suddenly disappear and his voice would go up three octaves. He was actually from Wisconsin!
2)Another coworker changed his name and refused to acknowledge anyone who called him by his given name, this included his mother when she visited him at work. He also is a drama queen from Wisconsin! What makes people from Wisconsin so ashamed of their state that they want to reinvent themselves???
3)Then there was the hypochondriac who one day when I walked behind the front desk of the hotel, she had three pill bottles out, was on the phone with her doctors office and had a light box with a reflector shinning on her to treat her SAD. When ever the news reported on some new and bizarre illness she would come down with it!
4)There was many years ago the day care worker who I heard from everyday when I dropped of my niece. She lived with her boyfriend, his two ex girlfriends, their kids, his best friend, brother, mom, grandmother and the grandmothers drunken boyfriend in a two bedroom condo. Everyday she would complain about her living condition to everyone. Thank God I only had to listen to it five minutes a day. I always felt sorry for her coworkers one of which was the boyfriend!

We could go on, the hotel and restaurant business is full of strange drama queens... not to mention the guests.

My heart & prayers goes out to the Kim family. You all have shown such courage and strength during the ordeal. For those who may not have heard this family of four was returning home after Thanksgiving and became stranded in the Oregon mountains. Three family members where rescued on Monday (Dec. 4th!) . James Kim an editor at Cnet had headed out on Saturday by foot to look for help. His body was located this afternoon.

Ogling Breasts Makes Men Live Longer

This is not a joke. It came from the New England Journal of Medicine.

Great news for girl watchers: Ogling over women's breasts is good for a man's health and can add years to his life, medical experts have discovered. According to the New England Journal of Medicine, "Just 10 minutes of staring at the charms of a well-endowed female is roughly equivalent to a 30-minute aerobics work-out" declared gerontologist Dr. Karen Weatherby.

Dr. Weatherby and fellow researchers at three hospitals in Frankfurt, Germany, reached the startling conclusion after comparing the health of 200 male outpatients - half of whom were instructed to look at busty females daily, the other half told to refrain from doing so. The study revealed that after five years, the chest-watchers had lower blood pressure, slower resting pulse rates and fewer instances of coronary artery disease.

"Sexual excitement gets the heart pumping and improves blood circulation," explains Dr. Weatherby. "There's no question: Gazing at breasts makes men healthier." "Our study indicates that engaging in this activity a few minutes daily cuts the risk of stroke and heart attack in half. We believe that by doing so consistently, the average man can extend his life four to five years."

Is this to good too be true?

Idiot of the week: From The Chimp-o-Matic: If the terriers and bariffs are torn down, this economy will grow.

This is an actual quote from Jan. 1, 2000
--George W. Bush

Thanks waiter for bringing this to my attention. Now everyone call your congressman before you start drinking and ask for his help in making this happen;)

Repeal Day

Repeal Day (December 5th) is not celebrated by anyone in this country, yet it is the only day which truly has any connection with alcohol. December 5th is the anniversary of the day the United States repealed the Eighteenth Amendment and gave us all the constitutional right to consume alcohol. I’ve been celebrating Repeal Day for years by forcing this information down the throats of my customers, and now I’m forcing it on you. Here are a few reasons why I think Repeal Day should be a major drinking holiday in the United States.

Aaaahhhh... such a cute kitten. You did see the kitten, right?


Yeah boss, about that shipment of cars...

Idiot of the week: This guy who fell asleep twenty stories up while washing windows. He may not be a true idiot but sleeping up that high, well it's close.

Troy Gentry, the famous country singer plead guilty to a misdemeanor of improper tagging a bear that he had murdered with a bow. This does not sound so bad till you learn that he had bought and shot the bear in a three acre pen enclosed by an electric fence. Part of the purchase agreement with the owner and hunting? guide was that they would claim it was shot in the wild. He also had a video made that was edited to show a wild hunt!

Mr. Gentry you are a liar and either lazy or a coward. I hope to god all of your buddies who I'm sure you told a great story of the bear hunt too give you shit. You are too lazy to go and hunt for a bear in a more fair? environment or you are scared shitless that the bear may take you out. Either way you have lost at least one fan who will not listen or buy another ticket or CD.

Disclaimer: I listen and love country music. I have hunted in the past but do not now, I do understand the thrill and sometimes need of hunting. But those who hunt trapped or baited animals are murderers and give ALL hunters a bad name!

A zillion dollars per an acre of woods sounds about right to me. Urban sprawl has ate up acreage all around the twin cities. It used to be "in olden times... twenty years ago" that a half hour drive in any direction would put you in farm country. Now I think all the farms have moved to the Dakotas. I miss the farms, the open land and open lots in the city where a kid could make believe he was in another world. Now all the old open lots are home to brand new condos and townhomes.

PS I hope your Thanksgiving was good, I know mine was. A little to much rich food left me with a grumpy stomach, but that and shopping is what Thanksgiving is about... right?

Robert Altman who filmed his last movie here in the Twin Cities, A Prairie Home Companion, passed away from Cancer Monday. I owe this man for one of my favorite movies ever M.A.S.H. , and the TV show that resulted which is my all time favorite show. Rest in peace, you have earned it.

Idiot of the Week 2: Bryan James Hathaway (pictured removed). Charged with having sex with a dead deer. I have one word for him... FREAK! His parents and ex-girlfriends (if any) must be proud.

In other news...

This is for all those who waited days & hours outside in lines taking vacation days or calling in sick (not to mention paying thousands of $$$ on EBAY) to get their PS3! Video!

Cat gives birth to puppies! (maybe?)

Another article about the Government looking for handouts via: sponsorships! What's next, the Whitehouse being sponsered by Martha Stewart?

Idoit of the week: This thief, who gave himself away!

OK I'm late again so sue me...

Idiot of the week goes too: Lesley Stevenson, who marries the man who shot her!

On to other news, the boulder has passed. Yes that pesky kidney stone hung around... forever! Of course as things must happen, I was at Target when I passed the first two of three stones. The person in the stall next to mine must have had some strange visions of what was going on in my stall with all the grunting, yelping and a few moans!

Ok, Carrie and I are watching Carson Daily with guest Tom Arnold. Tom looks like, sounds like he is on something or having a breakdown. Rambling and making no sense, he can't sit still and has this lost & deer in head lights look. This breaks my heart for I have met Tom on two occasions and really liked him. I always found him to be very funny and a decent actor. He fell apart when Carson asked about Tom's breakup with his wife, who Tom says he is still living with and then babbled on about being worth more dead than alive??? I hope things turn around for him. Good luck Tom, get some help.

Today we lost another of my old time favorite actors. Rest in Peace.

A real quick post.

Congrats to Democrats nationwide, it looks like we did it. The house and most likely the Senate will swing to our control. It's time for a reckoning!

On the local (Minnesota) side it looks just as good. All of our family and friends have won by large margins. There are two defeats that do hurt. We missed picking up the governorship by a few thousand votes (at last count) . Also in the Bachmann, Wetterling race the Republican Bachmann defeats Wetterling for the US House seat.

And congrats to Britney Spears for finally coming to your senses. He no good for you...

Today is one of those days in which we can make sure we are heard. Find/make the time to get out and vote. My views are evident, but if you agree with me or not, JUST VOTE!

I've been laid up for a week with kidney stones (NO the boulder still has not passed). I've had stones once before in my life, 14 yrs ago. I keep trying to remember what happened back then. How long after the pain moved there did it take till it was over? etc etc I just hope this passes and soon. Our already over stretched budget can not take me being off much longer. (FYI work told me not to come back till it was over. I tried on Friday and they were not amused by the yelps and moans during my constant bathroom runs.)

This guy could be in real trouble if he ever ended up in prison!

(I don't think this was the prison uniform, but it caught your attention)

Idiot of the week: Oscar Aponte. This ex prison inmate, took with him a prison uniform when he was released in September. He wore the uniform as his Halloween costume. When he was spotted it caused the prison to be locked down. He has been charged with a couple of crimes. I hope this does not violate his parole or even worse. Does NY have a three strike law? If it does it would be ironic and sad if this was his third strike.

Have you ever wanted to beat the crap out of George Bush? Throw him into a wall? Drop him on his head or break his back? Well here is your chance. Have fun... hours of stress relief from today's troubled world or just to blow off steam over political commercials.

OK, I'm a little late on finding out about these guys. They call themselves Hitch50. They are trying to hitchhike to the capitals of all fifty states. As of yesterday they are stuck in Juneau Alaska and have hit 29 states in 24 days. Good luck guys, maybe I'll see you here in the Twin Cities.

UPDATE: Mr. Robinson you are Not a US Congressman, thank god!

This has to be the most disgusting, sickening political commercial out there. Mr. Vernon Robinson has not missed a single inflammatory issue in his attack on the public's common sense and good taste.

Now here is a question, he touts all that he finds wrong in America and how he will bring conservative Republican values to Congress. But have not the Republicans controlled this country now for six years and failed to "improve" on Mr. Robinson's issues. Mr. Robinson it's not you that we need in office but someone with morals and the drive to work for a better USA instead of his own warped view's.

Now I need to go take a bath, just watching that commercial has left me filling dirty.

updated Nov. 8th,2006

Kidney stones, god they hurt. I have slept very little in the last few days as I suffered boulders in my urethra. Carrie had to hand out all the candy because I felt like a was going to be sick. I'm sure the kids would not appreciate me adding my regurgitated dinner to their bags. (Sorry about the graphic wording but I turn into a bear when I'm sick)

We where shocked, this was our first Halloween in the house and we did not know what to expect. Almost seventy kids by 8:30 when we ran out of candy. (Carrie, quick turn off the lights and get in the house. I'm not going to spend another $40 for candy, even if I could find some.)

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Some headlines from the last week.

Masturbation is good for you!
Naked burglar!
A new danger of shrinkage (this is for the men!).

The Idiots of the Week are Mrs. C A woman married for 17 yrs who did not realise her "husband" had no penis and was actually a woman.
And this guy! Who cut of his ring finger with his wedding ring still attached just to spit his ex-wife!

Here, is a site with a ton of fun, funny and risque public art. Warning it does take forever to load but it's worth it.

(Pic borrowed from Hideaway Pictures)
So it's almost that time of year again so I better get ready.

No! Not Halloween but NaNoWriMo! I failed miserably last year writing only a few hundred lines before work washed away all the available time that I had. What am I talking about? National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo for short, if that is short?) where people from around the world each try to write a 50,000 word novel in one month. Rewards? Only Karma and a pat on the back. Wish me luck!

This video poses some interesting questions about 9/11. It makes you think and I hope they are wrong. No matter how much I think Bush has screwed up this country I don't want to believe that even he is this evil. Not to mention how twisted the people who did the dirty/wet work would have to be.


Election time is almost here thank god. No, I'm not that excited about voting. I just want the f@&king commercials to end. It does not matter what party I side with, both sides are running disgusting attack ads non-stop here in Minnesota and I'm sick of it! Here in Minnesota we actually do have a major (kind of) third party with the boring name of the Independence Party (think of Jesse "The Body" Ventura as our Gov., yep were weird up here.). Their commercials usually are at least funny.

Heart wrenching message in a bottle from World War Two. Hey everyone look at my ebay auction, I have decided to sell off one of the prize pieces from my eclectic collection. Carries and my house is overflowing with stuff and I decided to get ride of a few things.

I bought the bottle from the estate of the lawyer who found it in 1955 in Pompano Beach, Fl. The message reads: "Boat drifting far out. Boche torpedoes S.S. Van Tonburg. Out of food, everything. God help me and bless my loving parents." It is signed Carl Schillen.

So if you know of a collector, let him know!

I've been playing a game called Blogshares , as part of the game you find dead blog's (those where there has been no postings for over six months). This dead blog I find kind of depressing. So much love is shown towards Maddy in those twelve words and then nothing. What happend? Did Maddy run away with another man while the Merchant Mariner was at sea? Was the Merchant Mariner lost in a tragic shipping accident and Maddy is sitting alone waiting? Or did the Merchant mariner find love in another's arms? I guess we will never know.

On to other things there are:
Wesley Snipes on Americas Most Wanted.
Mike Tyson, still desperate for attention, attention that we/I give him.

Nuff Said.

Quick post for some headline news:

Google goes solar, a pig powered town and a wind powered college. Alternative energy is the future, it has to be if we want to continue living on mother earth. This goes along with a George Clooney powered Tango. But I'm not sure a chocolate Igloo will be the wave of the future.

Happy birthday to US citizen 300,000,000.

The return of an old favorite, IDIOT OF THE WEEK! This week it is Aleksey Vayner who is so full of himself that he sent an overly dramatic and boastful video resume to Wall Street. The video eventually made it to the web. Why is he the idiot of the week? Because he is now threatening to sue Youtube to take it down. This of course has now drawn the attention of the national news and at least one blogger. Of course he now has probably the most viewed resume ever and will get a job paying ten time what I make!

Rocky Balboa... the last Round. Yes the trailer is out for the next (and we can hope LAST) of the Rocky movies. Would someone please buy Mike Tyson a ticket! (Hell if Mike was to ask I would buy him a ticket.)

Ok maybe I'm just dumb but, I DON"T GET IT! I love Garfield and almost all other comics (first section I read on Sunday's) but this one leaves me lost??? Help me if you can!

Shop Red. Help others as the christmas/holiday season nears. You can buy things from Gap, Ipod Nano's, Watches etc... Just check it out, procedes go to fight AIDS in Africa.

God I'm "OLD". Tomorrow is my twenty year high school reunion (a little late but... never mind that), Edison class of 86 rules! LMFAO The reunion will be held at the best bar in America (no that's not my opinion, thats according to Esquire Magazine!)

I hope this reunion is better than the last one I attended. That ended with me in a fist fight the next morning as I dropped of the old classmate that I had picked up at the reunion. I would have brought her to her house but she passed out in my car! I carried her up four flights of steps to my apartment, and dropped her on the couch. Did I get lucky? No, she was to drunk and that would have been wrong (damn it)!

The next morning I awoke to find that she was still on the couch but now had no cloths on! (Not sure what happened there... but I didn't mind ;) So when I was dropping her off at her car, this other car comes flying up. She tells me that I better leave, that this was her boyfriend from the night before. (No I'm not a dog, he had dumped a drink on her, then got in a fight with a couple of other guys. This is when she asked me to get her out of there!) One thing led to another and he and I ended up tossing each other around breaking a couple of car windows in the process. A passing squad car chased us off. I never heard from her again. Wish me luck, and Yes Carrie is going with me so no picking up young ladies this time!

Republicans are trying to shift the public attention from themselves to... (drum roll please)... the Clinton Administration! Um... guys that was six years ago maybe we should be looking at some more recent problems like:

1. Lying about the reason for the Iraq War, or
2. Foley cover up, or
   
3. Wiretapping, or
4. Energy task force lies, or
5. Katrina response (lack of) and
   
6. (Insert anything that has happened in the last six years here because it has all been a disaster).
   

National Coming Out Day was today, no one I know came out (everyone I know who is gay is out already.. I think). Big news on the business front Google is buying youTube for $1.6 billion. I actually like Google Video myself but thats just me.

PS Since Google is in a buying mood, I'm announcing that Empty Words for Empty Minds is for sale! For only $160,000 it's a steal for Google or any one else with deep pockets. I'll even throw in my services for one year. (By services I mean I will do anything that is legal and of a non sexual basis... well we can negotiate on the sex part!)

And a few more pic's from the last set. I love fall and it's colors, I really think it is the prettiest time of year (besides right after a heavy sticky snow fall that sticks to everything). Fall is also my favorite time of year, warm enough to do things outside but cool enough that I will not sweat out a gallon of water. It's the start of football (go Vikes, what a game yesterday! Never count the Vikes out they will surprise you.) Fall also means that the Holidays are right around the corner (the Grinch I am I really don't like Holidays, I guess you could say that I dread the holidays. Why? It's not that I don't like the gatherings but over the years every one of my family members has died on or within days of a major holiday.) Carrie of course thinks that I'm just weird & pessimistic. Lets see, Dad on Memorial day, Grandma on July 4th, Aunt Viv on Thanksgiving, My brother within a week of Thanksgiving and mom had her aneurysm three days before Christmas. OK, enough of that. I'm off to work.

By popular DEMAND I have removed the videos that I had at the bottom of the blog. While I thought it was fun/funny it was slowing down the page load and the auto play could not be turned off (or if it could I did not know how). (Happy now Chris????) I had someone ask me (friends read the blog and then call me or email me to ask questions, is that not what the comment function is for?) what camera I used for the last pic's and where were they taken. Answer 1) Kodak 330 ( I liked this camera but it has now started to become a pain with malfunctions and software issues galore. This camera is just over year old so.... and I think I want a new one. HINT HINT) The pic's where taken along the Mississippi bluffs six blocks away from our house.

Just two weeks ago those leaves where all on the branch's and/or green. I do believe that fall has arrived!

Ok, this (http://thepurification.org) site is the talk of the town. Why? Well we all love a good mystery and here is one. No links, no nothing but a clock counting down! If you wander over the site with your mouse you will see eight more count downs. At the end of the count downs a message will be revealed and here are what the messages say. Any help? Nope, didn't think so. Here is a message board that is trying to figure all this out, (and they are good!) if anyone does figure it out please let me know!

I just now found out that he was the co-chair for the Congressional Missing and Exploited Children Caucus! He now may faces charges from laws that he co-authored! That is ironic. There are so many problems with this whole situation that I don't know where to begin. Was the GOP leadership aware of his conduct as some say? If so, heads should and hopefully will roll. I have already seen/heard some of the attack adds on the Republicans that have arose from this. With all that has gone wrong in this country in the last six years we should be tired of the GOP and their money grubbing, God hating & war mongering views. But I thought the same thing two years ago and well...

Then of course we have Foley's scapegoating that sickens me even more. I'm an alcoholic and I'm going into rehab, oh and by the way I was molested by church members when I was a child!

My god man use those two little things hanging between your legs and take responsibility for your actions, your busted and the only thing you have left is your honor.

cbs4boston.com - Drunken Bear Sleeping It Off: "Drunken Bear Sleeping It Off

(CBS4) LYONS, Colorado A drunken bear is waiting to be returned to the wild after being captured Tuesday in Lyons, Colorado. Colorado Division of Wildlife Officers say she was probably drunk after eating too many fermented apples.

Officers, who responded to calls of the bear wobbling through neighborhoods in Lyons, say this time of year bears intake almost 20,000 calories a day to store fat for their winter hibernation.

A bean bag gun was used to stun the bear, followed by a tranqualiztion to capture and tag her. The bear will be returned to the wild after she has slept it off. "

Here is the video.

Downey will play the title character in 'Iron Man,' a film directed by Jon Favreau. Filming is scheduled to begin in February, with the movie due in theaters in May 2008."

So why am I posting about Robert Downey Jr. taking on an acting roll? For one I'm glade to see him acting I believe he is one of the finest actors out there if his personal demons are under control. Second, how often will I get the chance to post twice in a single week while mentioning Iron Man, one of my all time favorite Comic book heroes!

iWon News - Eric Clapton Rethinks Playing 'Cocaine': "ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) - Eric Clapton is playing 'Cocaine' in concert again. The recovering drug addict and alcoholic, who founded the Crossroads Centre addiction recovery center on the Caribbean island of Antigua, stopped performing the song written by J.J. Cale when he first got sober.

'I thought that it might be giving the wrong message to people who were in the same boat as me,' Clapton recently told The Associated Press.

'But further investigation proved ... the song, if anything, if it's not even ambivalent, it's an anti-drug song."

It's been a big week here in the Twin Cities, the Twins as the division champs and also the cities have been chosen to host the 2008 Republican Convention. I would have preferred the Democratic Convention which was planning on coming to the cities but waited one day to long to announce it, and the GOP beat them to it. Oh well there is always 2012!

Modern civilization destroyed by bathroom conversation, watch this video for proof.

Spent today helping my sis in law move. I hate moving and moving other people is even worse, especially if they are not ready. (I am guilty of this myself, most of my moves have been pack and throw jobs two days before I need to be out.) We all have bad moving stories but I have had a few that go beyond bad and could have been written by Steven King himself.

When I was in the army (not sure I ever mentioned that I spent three years with the screaming chickens in the 80's and 90's, that's the 101st airborne for those who don't know) I had a sergeant call all the guys in the platoon who lived in the barracks to help him move on a Saturday morning. When we all arrived we where shocked to find that not only where things not packed but all of their things (his wife, him and their children) where still in the normal places, dirty dishes in the sink, cloths hanging on the hangers and folded in the drawers and kids toys scattered over the whole house. So we packed everything up for them. His wife was a little upset when she walked in the bedroom and found Kolterman packing her underwear drawer. Of course she may have been just a little upset that Kolterman was wearing a pair of her panties on his head! One word of advice, you must always give those who help you move beer, but do not open the beer until the move is almost done! Jimbo where ever you are this one is for you.

On at least three other times I have arrived at my new residence only to find the old tenants still there. Now one of these times there was circumstances that warranted the delay, it was in the middle of a blizzard. My moving van was stuck in the snow in front of the duplex while their moving van was stuck in the driveway it was three days till we all got dug out. Another time the landlord had failed to mention to the old tenant that he had someone moving in and she thought it would not be a problem if she took a few extra days to move into her boyfriends. Myself and my friends spent three hours getting her moved into her boyfriends, and Mark even ended up going out on a date with her. I guess she was not so serious about that boyfriend. The last one I arrived to find the landlord yelling at the old tenant threatening to call the cops, they had no place to go and would not leave. He was going to have them evicted but this could take a week or two. So much for my apartment, the landlord tried to pawn off on me two lesser apartments in other parts of town. In the end I ended up staying three weeks at a flea bag motel till I moved in with a friend of mine. I have had storage unites broken into stealing everything I had and once found a strange guy sleeping on my couch while it was in the van. I have moved in the middle of heat waves (92 degrees at midnight), blizzards, with help and more than once all by myself. Since 1990 I have moved a total of twelve times and have almost always lived in or around downtown. Why so many moves? When I was in college I had a constant stream of irresponsible roommates! Four of those moves occurred in one year because of a girlfriend who did not understand that the rent did not pay itself. Ahh to be young and stupid.

LiveScience.com - New Power Suit Amplifies Human Strength: "

NEW YORK—Engineers in Japan are perfecting a wearable power suit that amplifies human strength to help lift hospital patients or heavy objects.

Driven by portable batteries, micro air pumps and small body sensors that pick up even the slightest muscle twitch, the Stand-Alone Wearable Power Assist Suit is designed to help nursing home workers lift patients of up to 180 pounds while cutting the amount of strength required in half, project researcher Hirokazu Noborisaka told LiveScience today."

That suit does not look to practicle now... but give it ten years and we all will be running around in Iron Man suits saving the world!

wcco.com - Toddler Discovered Drunk In North Minneapolis: "Tests taken at the hospital last night showed the 3-year-old well over the legal blood alcohol limit for adults, measuring 0.12."

There is a joke here, but I find the story to depressing to type it. My dad used to get me drunk at drive in movies. As the first movie would end he would pass me up (I would watch the movies from the top of our station wagon) his left over "pops". Why? So I would go to sleep (pass out) and he and mom could leave after the first movie, since I would yell and cry that I wanted to watch all three. (drive inns you have to love them, three for the price of one, even less if you count my older brother hidden in the trunk;) Years latter my mother would deny knowing anything about this, selective memory at it's best.
