{Not Quite} Wordless Wednesday: Happiness Is....

 Sliding down a frog....
 Sitting on a turtle...
 Having a bucketload....

 Water fights with your sister...
And pretty sunsets to end your holiday.

Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux: Dating Or Not Dating?

Rumor has it that Jennifer Aniston is dating Justin Theroux. According to X17online, the two dined together on Wednesday at L.A.'s Sunset Tower Hotel in what seemed to be a romantic date.

But the actress' representative rejected the idea of a relationship between the two. "What X17 neglected to mention was that there were three other people at the dinner. It was a friends dinner", Jen's

Doppel-Deluge: Doppelganger Highlights Week of 5.22

Favorite 3:

3. Rick Neuheisel & Mr. Rogers

*Voice-match Special*

My favorite voice-match since the Tom Arnold-Bill Plaschke combo started it all.





















2. Scotty McCreery & George W. Bush

*Father-Son Special*

*Simmons Special*

If you showed these pics to an alien and told him that one won the presidency and the other won American Idol, he'd never stop laughing.



If they're not directly related they certainly share a common ancestor:


The rest of the family lineage:
Jack LaLanne & George H.W. Bush

  














1. Aaron Stanford & Will Friedle Vs. Aaron Stanford & Peter Sarsgaard

*Fan Vote Special*

You probably don't know any of these names but one. If you're wondering why I chose such obscure people, it's because I just watched X-Men 2 and I thought Pyro was actually the Cory's brother from Boy Meets World. Then when I looked up pictures of him he looked like an evolutionary Sarsgaard. Doesn't sound like the mind of a genius huh?


*Evolutionary Special*










































What say you Ackbar?























Yep

5.30 song of the day

Whatever it is that caused him to write this, I want to go through it. Even if it hurts. Especially if it hurts.


‎5.29 song of the day

I stole this from Esquire like John Phillips stole his daughter's virginity

from Esky: Subtle electronic whizzes, lively drums, and a swooping chorus add up to an unlikely pop anthem, one that'll leave you woozy and a little winded.

(Whew)

Face Fierce Lion

lion king  picture wild animal wallpaper tiger big cat speciesLion one of the big cats known as king of the jungle. Her body is muscular, his face is fierce and he as a lion carnivores deserve the nickname as the king of the jungle. Just imagine you are walking in our woods, you see a snake, monkey or a wolf maybe you still have a fatherly kebernaian fight, but if you meet the lion or tiger I am sure the actions you take only two kinds of direct scamper or climb a tree as soon as possible, but you should know lion is also known as a good climber.

Knight Bus

 Greetings from the real big city of Vancouver, BC! In my absence from the internet, I wore only tie-dye for two weeks, paddled a canoe for five days, ate way too much hummus and fell in love with Hazards of Love by The Decemberists. This ridiculous outfit was thrifted entirely in the Okanagan Valley, more specifically Penticton, BC. The old ladies running the store went wild when they saw me trying on the shirt, they absolutely loved it and used the word "zazzy." According to the label its an original "Western Collection Styles" and I like to imagine the previous owner travelled around in horse shows and excelled at barrel jumping in this lacey fringe number.
Let me tell you, West Coast thrifting is damn good. I have a few unbelievably ridiculous finds that I will reveal at a later date!
All my fellow Potter-ites will be excited to hear that I rode the Knight bus to downtown Vancouver. Need photographic evidence? Look no further.

5.28 song of the day

because I got a 1-track mind.

The Big Lebowski isn't my favorite movie but it's certainly one of the reasons I have such trouble picking one.

Bloggers for Joplin: In Time of Need


Heartwrenching photos came out of Joplin, Mo this week. A small town literally torn in half by an EF-5 tornado on Sunday, May 22, 2011.

A small town where, according to one storm chaser and meteorologist that I am close friends with, had little to no warning because everyone dropped the ball. The NWS, the media, she says should have known better. NWS, meteorologists, and storm chasers knew on Friday that it was going to happen. I knew on Friday that Sunday was going to be a bad day, and I don't even live in an affected areas.

No one warned Joplin until it was too late. Today, 122 people are dead, and several hundred are still missing and hospitalized. While the devastation could not have been avoided, the deaths could have.

If You Never Read Another Post of Mine, Read This One

I have a few things to say about things you shouldn't do in the summer...

10. Don't wear shorts in the car during a trip and forget to put sunscreen on them.
9. Don't wear a bathing suit that is too small.
8. Don't sit in the sand at the beach in your wet bathing suit.
7. Don't scream "SHARK!!" on a busy day at a packed beach. No matter how much fun it is.
6. Don't forget to bring enough towels for everyone including the little boy who isn't yours.
5. Don't eat before swimming. No one likes crumbs in the pool.
4. Don't watch Jaws, Deep Blue Sea, or Open Water just before your beach trip.
3. Don't walk through a field of wildflowers without applying bug spray first.
2. Do not fall asleep with a book over your face and let your kids play in the water unattended.


And on a more serious note:

1. DO NOT EVER leave your kids unattended in the water.

In fact, you should watch them like a hawk. Do you know what drowning looks like? I do. From first hand experience. Last summer, at my cousin's daughter's 1st birthday party, I watched as my then 2 year old son almost drowned. He had taken swimming lessons and he was using a ring float.

The thing is, that ring float?

Did you know that if your child leaps out of the water while wearing the ring float, it could tip, causing your child to fall into the water unsupported?

Did you know that even if they've had swim lessons, they could still drown?

Did you know that drowning is the second highest leading cause of death in children under the age of 15?

Read this article: Drowning Doesn't Look Like Drowning. When you are finished reading it, pass it on. It's that important.

I don't know about you, but I always thought drowning involved the helpless splashing and cries for help between large gulps of water. Now, I understand why its said that drowning is one of the worst ways to die.

The memory of the sight of my son in the pool last summer, drowning, is one that will haunt me for the rest of my life. And we were watching, from the comfort of the edge of the pool.  It is because we were watching that my son is alive today.

Please, please, please watch your kids in the water. Be that helicopter parent at the pool everyone talks about. It could save your child's life.

5.25 song of the day

I took this from Slick Rick's Wikipedia. Read it in Dave Chappelle's black white supremacist voice for desired effect: Once he gained a degree of wealth, Walters earned a reputation for wearing the eye patch over his right eye, and a significant amount of gold and diamond jewelry.
