Enjoy!!!

Getting my boyfriend a PUPPY for Valentines Day!

(yes, he's been wanting one - I scored EXACTLY what he wanted too) She is a black 6mo old papered Lab that is trained.

Her currant name is Lucy (which has to go, and she's not totally "set" to it either)

Suggestions for a puppy name?

I kinda like Laci, Mazie, Marlo, Maddie, Mabel

yeah but fully vested means you can exercise them, and its all yours. then you can jump ship and not throw anything away.

its the unvested ones that keep employees loyal.

noodling this...

http://www.goldenfrog.com/ch/noodle.html

Well we all know that that "Noodle Incident" occured in the presence of Miss Wormwood. Remember, Calvin's mom had just returned from a parent teacher conference when Calvin almost confessed to it. Fortunately, he was able to pull off the innocent routine. The way I see it, Calvin forgot his lunch on the bus (or maybe Hobbes just ate it beforehand). Anyway, he was forced to have the noodles they were serving in the cafeteria. While eating, we flash to an episode of "Spaceman Spiff". Confronted by the hostile Noodlerian Mother Ship, Spiff has no choice but to go for a full throttled attack. Spiff is hit, his only choice...to attempt a crash landing on the distant planet below.

Zounds, the noodlerians have sent an enforcer ship to follow him to the surface. Screaming across the alien landscape, the chase continues. Suddenly, the enforce ship's stablizers fail and the ship crashes. Spiff lands safely (as usual). Approaching the alien ship, Spiff is attacked. It's a fight to the finish. Spiff reaches for the small atomic polarizer concealed in his belt and sets it for "frappe". Spaceman Spiff is triumphant...We flash back to Calvin, on top of his lunch table, hands raised in triumphant victory. Noodles everywhere, especially on Miss Wormwood!! He takes back this note Miss Wormwood gave for him to give to his parents and we find him in the backyard......

Hobbes: How was school?

Calvin: Boy did I ever get in trouble. Miss Wormwood said I have to give this note to Mom.

Hobbes: Are you going to give it to her?

Calvin: No.

Hobbes: Won't she find out?

Calvin(shovel in hand): Not if you help me dig.

That guy totally deserves some recognition. He got held down in WWE. I thought he would have been a great foil for HHH.

If he would have stuck around a couple more months, he would have been one of the guys to reap the benefits of Batista's injury and as sad as it was - Eddies death....

I'd rather see him with that TNA title, than Jarret any day..... it sucks, too how TNA is screwing Raven like they are though....

I almost bought beartivity two - which included three wise bears, and a bear camel, which is a little bear dressed up as a camel.

I agonized over it, but it was full price, 70 bucks - and for four ceramic bears I thought it was pricey.

That is pricey. And that was a clearance price? Holy crow!

I paid 17 for the baby bear jesus, mary bear, joseph bear, and an angel that flies overhead (bear.) The 70 was full price.

The 17 is doable. 70 is high buck.

Here's the three wise bears. Cute, but 70 buck cute?

Are they baked clay? And why would the one set be on clearance and not the others? Maybe they just weren't marked Clearance and actually are. Did you ask?
Mon, 02/20/2006 - 7:43 AM Permalink
Redbear

They were on clearance because there's supposed to be two angels but it was missing one.

Keep an eye on ebay. They have a couple of the sets you own right now. Eventually the kings should show up.

reader contest: peeps dioramas Way back in early October — October! — we got a message from a reader asking for a copy of the rules for the now classic rite of spring, the annual Pioneer Press Marshmallow Peeps Diorama Contest.

She wanted to start planning her diorama.

Wow, we thought. Some of those readers are really getting serious.

Winter medallion hunt serious — and we all know how crazy those people are.

The first year we held this contest, we got more than 40 entries. Last year, we got about 250. This year, we expect the Just Born candy company to wonder why they are seeing an unusual jump in sales in the Twin Cities market.

As far as rules, well, there really aren't many, except:

• It should be a diorama.

• It should include Peeps.

• A picture of it should arrive by midnight, April 3, sent either to rchin@pioneerpress.com or to Richard Chin, St. Paul Pioneer Press, 345 Cedar St., St. Paul MN 55101.

• The entry should also include the name, ages, addresses and phone numbers of the creator or creators so we can call up you up to ask you embarrassing questions.

The entries will be reviewed by a team of celebrity judges (we're celebrities aren't we?), and the winners — who will receive toothbrushes and collectible Pioneer Press logo swag — will be announced in the Pioneer Press on April 16.

Anybody wanna do this?? and what's a diorama????

He did get in the paper for his Peeps diorama. It wasn't in a box though. It was outside if I remember correctly.

Actually I did get in the paper once. Was 2004 I think. They were having people make Ice Palace models. We decided to do one of the demolition, but it got disqualified from the contest due to usage of props. Still, it was funny enough we got an honorable mention, and the picture was published. I'll have to dig around on my PC tonight and find the photo of it.

Peeps contest sounds cool, and it sounds like I have some time to think up a creative idea even.... Heck, might just go for an honorable mention again, heh.
