Dinner, or Lack Thereof, and Caption Contest!

I know. It's Thursday and you wanted dinner and I know I owe you some roasted bloggers but I'm taking a short break to sanitize the kitchen after making another batch of roadkill (or not so killed) stew. Hubby will eat good tonight just from what I encountered during my run on Wednesday:

1 juicy dead squirrel, ready for mashing
1 half-eaten unidentifiable bird
2 "yappy" poodles (need I say more)
Leftovers from whatever the redtail hawk dove down and grabbed with her talons, about 50 feet in front of me. WOW!

I'm just kidding. I don't really care for squirrel. I've heard it doesn't taste like chicken.

I hope I have not lost you because today's post is actually a caption contest. I need your best caption for this photo:


If you win, you will receive this geeky award that I hope you will display with pride:



I'll make sure Perspective Cat is fattened up and ready for the judging. Winner announced Sunday! Good Luck!

Caption Contest - Last Chance for Maui Souvenir Prize!

OK, folks. Here it is. It's what you've been waiting for.

That's right. The fabulous final souvenir give-away from my trip to Maui!







So what is it you may ask?

It's a quilted coin purse. It has many uses. It can certainly be used to hold coins or as a wallet full of your maxed-out credit cards. It's small so it won't hold the kitchen sink or all those dumb "club cards" that you get just about everywhere you shop (especially if you already have it full of everything else). But it might provide a home for pieces and parts of various toys your kiddos may have and easily lose or a small handgun.

A few more ideas: doggie treats, your prescription meds, ciggies, maryjane (maybe Phelps will play the contest).

I know. I'm getting carried away again.

Guys, it's pretty so....um....if you like pretty, great! If not, maybe your sweetheart, mom, or granny would enjoy it! After all, the designed-by-Hallmark-Holiday Valentine's Day is right around the corner.

But wait. There's more. It's also a tissue holder. The secret compartment in the back will hold a small package of Kleenex. Great for weddings and funerals!

Sorry. Let me try again.

Great for snotty children and when you have cold or flu symptoms.

No? Still not very pleasant?

Great for those moments when someone just told you have a dangling booger.

OK. Enough.

So how do you win this fabulous prize?

All you have to do is provide the winning caption for this photo and Monday I will post the winner. In the meantime, I will be assembling an unbiased judging committee of unsuspecting friends and family. I fired Perspective Cat. He kept eating the entries for the last contest!

Good Luck!

Nutty Celebrations and Caption This

It's the time of the year when all the relatives start coming out of the woodwork or in some cases you come out of the woodwork to go see the relatives. Is this irony at its best?

Relatives. We've all got them and from some of the family-get-together posts I've read lately, some of you guys are related to some serious nut cases. Hubby and I are fortunate. We have the weirdos but we keep them at a safe distance under lock and key in some podunk town down south.

Our celebrations are limited to the immediate family and an extended family celebration with Hubby's cousins. We are hosting the extended family celebration this year next Saturday.

That's right. I will make sure I have consumed plenty of rum balls to prepare for this event. Also the liquor cabinet is full of tequila and the fridge is full of beer. We are all set.

Also, we survived hubby's work Christmas party. Hubby was very happy all evening. I think it had something to do with multiple glasses of red wine or maybe it was the co-worker who gave him a face full of cleavage when her short personage while standing hugged Hubby while seated . Or maybe it was the lack of disco music and the obvious oversight of the band not starting their dance set with "Brick House". WTF? I WANT MY DISCO!

But at least Hubby danced with me. He won't dance to disco. I have to do that on my own. (No, I WAS NOT dancing on the table last year in my undies. That was just a rumor. I have an alibi, really.)

Finally, the caption. I found this cuddly cute picture on something the Humane Society sent me but it needs a caption. Please help me out. I can't promise you a special award but I'll post your winning caption and tell everyone how great you are. Winner announced Christmas Eve.
