Seriously…he sent me a video message from the North Pole!

I didn’t know I made THAT list, though…and I have also learned that he watches a little too much…
Merry Christmas…love my Wolf Family!

You know I’m a transplant…but lots of you are from the ultimate redneck capital of the USA, West by God Virginia. I was asking around the neighborhood if the kids had the week off and everyone looked at me funny.
“Well no…Wednesday and Thanksgiving…that’s about it…”
Of course, I show my inner blaze orange and Realtree side, explaining how we got the entire week off from school because no one would show up anyway…because today starts Gun Buck Season!
Man I loved skipping Algebra to sit in Dad’s pickup looking up on the ridge for anything with horns…
Pass the Turkey? Heck no…pass the jerky!
According to months of data, viewers who vote Republican and identify themselves as conservative are more likely than Democrats to love the biggest hits on TV.
Of the top 10 broadcast shows on TV in the spring, nine were ranked more favorably by viewers who identify themselves as Republican.
Liberals appreciate many of the same shows, but their devotion isn’t quite as strong as right-wingers. Dems are more likely to prefer modestly rated titles.
A spokesman for the research firm said, “Looking at the Democrats side, they seem to like shows about damaged people. Those are the kind of shows Republicans just stay away from.”
Fires, vandalism and violence… after San Francisco Giants won the World Series.
Bloggers posted live streams, including a live stream of the city’s police scanner.
Crowds were surrounding and attacking police (at least one one officer may have been down), store windows were being broken, citizens were found unconscious, cars and at least one bus was set on fire. From the scanner alone, we are being shown a picture of utter mayhem.
A squad car containing assault rifles was reportedly broken into.
Twitter users were sending in mobile videos.
Fans were following the hashtags #SFRiots and #SFRiot on Twitter.com.
A study by Verisk Analytics. Verisk’s Quality Planning unit looked at traffic tickets for 12 months through February to conduct its analysis.
Apparently the cars in the Top 10 are those preferred by motorists who like to drive fast. By contrast, big haulers like SUVs and minivans were among the least cited. The Buick Rainier, for instance, placed dead last.
The first number is the percentage in which the tickets were over the average. The second is the average age of the car’s driver:
1. Mercedes-Benz SL-Class Convertible
404% 53
2. Toyota Camry-Solara Coupe
349% 50
3. Scion tC Coupe
343% 30
4. Hummer H2/H3 SUV
292% 46
5. Scion xB Hatchback
270% 37 40%
6. Mercedes-Benz CLS-63 AMG Sedan
264% 46
7. Acura Integra Coupe
185% 33
8. Pontiac Grand Prix Sedan
182% 40
9. Mercedes-Benz CLK 63 AMG Sedan
179% 47
10. Volkswagen GTI Hatchback
178% 40
The first lady of France wrote a tell-all book about her husband, his ex-wife, and a private conversation she had with Michelle Obama.
When Carla Bruni asked Michelle O. how she likes being the first lady, Mrs. Obama replied, “Don’t ask! It’s hell! I can’t stand it!”
The French first lady goes on to say that one term as French president for her husband is enough. She even goes as far as accusing the French government of trying to kill him with all the work he has to do.
She also put down Lady Diana for allowing pictures to be taken when she visited and African hospital full of AIDS victims. She feels that there is something obscene in promoting yourself when you are giving yourself, so she refused to let people take pictures of her caring a sick baby.
So this is what we’re going to be reduced to when we fly in the future? Apparently these are the new seats being proposed to the airline industry, with the hopes that they’ll be sold as a lower-class to the already cramped coach seats. They’re a combination sit/stand/straddle seat meant for flights less than 3 hours.
Yep, you’re seeing it right, apparently the bottom of the seat is a saddle-ish device, and you’re only 23 inches away from the screamin’ young’n in front of you…great. The creator says that the saddle situation shouldn’t be a big deal, considering cowboys and cowgirls ride for 8 hours or more at a time…wait…aren’t they gauded and bow-legged at the end of the day?
C’mon…flying used to be awesome! People would dress up to fly, and enjoy gourmet meals on planes! Now, this is what we’ve reduced ourselves to?
Fly the uncomfortable, awkwardly situated skys, I suppose.
Check out this surveillance video from a cruise liner when it hit rough waters out at sea! I’ll be danged if I’ll wax my floor that much now!!
No one has ever had this opportunity, but because I’ve had a crush on Sara Evans for so long (as does Chuck and Gunner), I let her have it. She knocked on the door to hand deliver her new single, A Little Bit Stronger, and…well…the video explains:
