I couldn't resist. I had to do it...
Michael Jackson and Joan Crawford: Separated at birth?
Threat Level: Green and White?
EAST LANSING, MICHIGAN - Spartan football practice was delayed nearly two hours today (11/19) after a player reported finding an unknown white powdery substance on the practice field. Head coach John L. Smith immediately suspended practice while police and federal investigators were called to investigate. After a complete analysis, FBI forensic experts determined that the white substance unknown to players was the goal line. Practice was resumed after special agents decided the team was unlikely to encounter the substance again.
Shamelessly ripped from Solonor who also reminds us that Sunday is the return of Opus.

west elm is still the shiznit, sort of, even though my order is being delivered Monday instead of today as promised. Here's the deal, we have our best buds arriving on Monday for a weeks stay and we needed to improve the guest bed situation. Previously, we've only had the pull-out "bar in your back" sofa bed for their accommodations and they deserve so much more. So we decided to upgrade our master bed (the west elm purchase) and move our current platform bed into the guest room. The delivery coming on the same day as our guests leaves us in a tough spot though. They may need to make their own bed. No really, here are all the pieces - you need to make your bed. Welcome! Bienvenue! Pick up a cordless drill and stay a while!
and what part of the making of the bed do you think would bother the likes of us?! i'm think' the only part would be when someone has to say, could you put that beer down, I need another hand...heh.
can't wait to see you, the missus, the cats,and the new bed! xo -

Even wierder? A man in Germany has spent thousands of duckets to be surgically altered to look exactly like Michael Jackson. I saw it on Ripley's Believe It or Not...the guy was a total freak. Even had his entire house decorated entirely in red, black, gold and silver because "those are Michael's colors".
(okay, I'm a bit of a freak for watching the damn show, but that is beside the point!)
So, we have a white man, surgically altering himself to look like a black man, who has surgically altered himself to look like a white woman.
or sumpin' like that...

We've been getting this west elm catalog for a while and I can't figure out why. We love it. We have items circled in it. But we have no idea where it came from. Maybe just knowing you makes the contemporary stylings of MJ just rub right off.

Posted by: cassie-b at November 22, 2003 04:24 PMShiznit would be my pathetic attempt to sound really cool and hip and young. I really shouldn't use it. It reminds me of my Papa Joe (72 years old) when he says "Right On! That's cool man!" ... it sounds very UNcool.
Shiznit is slang for the shit, the best, totally cool. Right on. That's cool man.
Solonor - GMTA!
