Posted Tuesday June 22 2010 at 9:50amDIAPERS FOR BRIDES
I've Never really thought about this before, but it's got to be REALLY tough for the bride to use the bathroom at her wedding. I'm thinking it's a five-bridesmaid job just holding up the dress to keep it from touching the water . . . or, even worse, the floor.
Well . . . according to "Marie Claire" magazine, there's a new bridal trend that's solving that problem: BRIDES WEARING DIAPERS.
Apparently, some bridal shops are recommending that women wear specially-made bridal diapers if their wedding dress takes 20 minutes to get in and out of.
Jennette Kruszka is a wedding dress expert . . . she says that if you are thinking about going with bridal diapers, quote, "Please wear it to your fittings so you can ensure the gown fits properly."
YOU WOULD SO HAVE TO PAY ME
We may be taking another step closer to that horrible-looking future where every single possible surface is covered in advertising.
Here's the latest. The state of California is considering switching its license plates from good old-fashioned convict-stamped metal license plates, to digital displays.
When you're driving, the digital display shows your license plate number. But when you're stopped for more than four seconds in traffic or at a red light . . . your license plate starts displaying ADVERTISING MESSAGES.
And of course, you don't get a cut of that. All the money will go to California . . . where the state legislature is still trying to figure out what the hell they're going to do about their $19 BILLION deficit.
On the good side, the digital plates could also display Amber Alerts if there's a kidnapping.
Right now, the state legislature is considering a bill that could start a research and testing phase on these license plates. There's no word on when they'd be implemented.
PARKAY?
Macaroni and cheese can be one of the most delicious foods on the planet. So I'm not saying I CONDONE mac and cheese-related violence . . . I'm just saying I understand.
Earlier this month, a 21-year-old and his 17-year-old sister were making mac and cheese in a small city in the middle of Washington called East Wenatchee. (--Neither of their names have been released.)
The brother asked his sister if she was using real butter, or margarine. She said margarine. Naturally he FLIPPED out, and yelled at her that only butter gives mac and cheese the proper taste.
The argument escalated until finally . . . it exploded, and the sister stabbed her brother IN THE NECK with the razor-sharp serrated edge of the spatula.
He was taken to the hospital and treated; she was arrested and charged with fourth-degree assault.
She was supposed to be in court last Wednesday but didn't show, so now there's a warrant out for her arrest.

PEOPLE AND THEIR DOGS!
Here's more proof that we Americans are absolutely, irrationally, madly in love with our dogs. According to a nationwide survey by the Pew Research Center, Americans feel closer to their DOGS than to their PARENTS.
94% of people with dogs say they feel close to their dog. Only 87% of people feel close to their mom, and 74% feel close to their dad.
Cats fall in the middle, at 84%. So, basically, the pecking order goes: Dog, mom, cat, dad. Happy Day-After-Father's Day!
DEPORTED BECAUSE OF LETTER
Caroline Jamieson of Manhattan, New York, is married to an immigrant from Cameroon. He's 34-year-old Herve Takoulo, and he came to the U.S. legally . . . but his visa is now expired.
Caroline and Herve are married, which should get him a green card. The only problem: There's a deportation order out for him . . . which means the immigration department won't even HEAR their case.
Five months ago, out of desperation, Caroline wrote a letter to PRESIDENT OBAMA explaining her situation. She begged him to lift Herve's deportation order so she could prove he deserved to stay here with her.
And it . . . REALLY backfired. On June 3rd, National Fugitive Operations Program agents showed up at the couple's home . . . said, "Did you write a letter to the President?" . . . then ARRESTED Herve and sent him to an immigration jail.
Fortunately for Caroline and Herve, the case got some media attention. And when the "New York Times" started questioning Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials about it, Herve was released.
He's back at home, with an ankle monitor on, while his case is finally getting a review. (--So . . . uh . . . all's well that ends well? Maybe?)
As for Caroline's letter, it was supposed to be forwarded to Immigration, but accidentally got forwarded to the fugitive operations unit instead by someone in the President's office.

Posted Thursday June 17 2010 at 9:10amWhat Creeps You Out?

The book I cannot wait to buy today is Creepiosity by David Bickel. All about things that are unintentionally creepy. Like restaurant mascots that invite you to eat them. Y'know, the pig at the BBQ joint. For me, it's dolls that are made to look like they are crying or getting punished by standing in a corner. Really, who wants to see a child frozen in pain or shame for all eternity!! C'mon! For Izzy, it's the silent freakish stare of a mime who never speaks.

A couple you mentioned were faces that appear in wood grain, snakes, trench coats, ear hair, toes longer than your shoes, etc.
