Your Mom's on the Internet

Help Wanted

2007-04-17T19:59:00.000-05:00

How about this job? I don't know what you would be "doing", but you'd be "doing" it all day long in front of a fish tank!

How about working at Cold Stone? Not only do you apply, you "audition". I hear they have "the best jobs ever". Or so they say. These guys seem to think so...

Or, how about a baby incubator? I am now permanently scarred. I heard about the pooping in labor, the hernias, the vaginal tearing... but this, I think this pretty much rules it out for me!

Find me a werewolf... in tights.

Minding the gap

2007-04-10T11:33:00.000-05:00

The Tube was lots of fun when I was in London.

I mostly loved it because when a train would pull up, there'd be a monotonous recording of some British guy saying, "Mind the gap" over and over.

It was so very British and awesome.

How about finding me a job? Have we done that one before? I don't remember, and I'm too lazy to look.

Screaming queens!

2007-04-08T21:48:00.000-05:00

No Liza - but here's a few no-names!

Find me transportation found in London!

Oh, tra la la!

2007-04-08T21:22:00.000-05:00

It's Gunther. And he wants you to touch his ding ding dong.

Find me a drag queen.

Anyone still read this?

2007-04-06T08:55:00.000-05:00

*bump!*

In order to revive Your Mom, I give you some unusual housepets: baby hedgehogs!

How blindingly cute are they? I just want to give them a hug...except that they are spiky. I've heard of people keeping them as pets, and I want one SO BAD.

Find me someone with a mullet.

To Do

2007-03-14T17:26:00.000-05:00

Well, a day like today- a godsent warmth but a miserable hazy rain- calls for just one thing.

Food.

So go gather up some good-to-eats.

Bring it on home.

Cook it on up.

And go to town.

Since I just helped you make dinner, I demand you find me some unusual housepets.

Body arrrrrght (get it?)

2007-03-07T16:56:00.000-05:00

Dude, there were so many to choose from. I wanted a picture of Jack Sparrow's arm tattoo, but alas. No dice. Here's a somewhat piratey tattoo instead:

Funny, but I'd have to say I've seen better. Needs more pirate and less Jimmy Buffett. Here's one for a hardcore Star Wars fan. (You want fangirl? I was a total Star Wars fangirl back in high school. Nerdy? Yes.)
And finally, my most favorite one of all. I love it so much I'm almost tempted to get one myself. For the hardcore chemists out there, I give you...this:

Find me something to do on a day as nice as today (that is, if you're not in the northeast where I hear it's pretty frickin' cold).

Twilight Turtle & Piratey Penguins!

2007-03-06T21:43:00.000-05:00

Here's Twilight Turtle...

And the piratey penguins!

And a pirate ship just cuz I love them!

Since I love tattoos - find me a cool one!

Kittens = world peace

2007-03-05T15:55:00.000-05:00

Ignoring the obvious answer of "alcohol," I suggest a box full of kittens. Kittens make everything better.

Dude, I am a sucker for kittens. They're endlessly amusing.

Find me a baby toy...since I have yet ANOTHER baby shower to go to next weekend.

You Asked For It

2007-03-04T13:06:00.000-05:00

Well, you did.
Here is some reading I think is very very important.

Lately my reading has been more edifying than entertaining (though Michael Pollan and Eric Schlosser are both pretty funny fellows, actually, especially for books about food). Find me something I can do/consume/whatever to help me cope with a world gone wrong.

Expecto patronum!

2007-03-01T21:03:00.000-05:00

Professor Lupin. Best teacher ever. Why, you ask?

1. Because clearly, first off, you wouldn't be the best teacher ever unless you knew magic.
2. Professor Lupin can actually teach you how to defend yourself against all sorts of dark creatures, most importantly can teach you how to save your soul from being sucked away.
3. Seems like it might be advantageous at some point to have a werewolf on your side.

Speaking of books, besides the 7th (and 6th still!) installments of Harry Potter, find me another book I should be reading.

Rain, A Naked Guy, and some creep hand thing

2007-03-01T18:55:00.001-05:00

You could use the umbrella, like this fellow:

Or I suppose even put a pot on your head:

Or crawl into a cave, but make sure there aren't creepy hand monsters lurking in them.

I began a field placement today, so I suppose you might find me an example of the best techer ever.

Today would be a good day for a nap

2007-03-01T13:56:00.000-05:00

I saw a commercial for one of these the other day, and I thought to myself: "Now that looks like a comfy chair."
From Cantoni. It's bigger than it looks in the picture--I think you could probably fit yourself and a friend on there for a nice nap.

Find me something to keep me out of the rain.

What is art?

2007-02-28T22:26:00.000-05:00

I suppose this post depends on your definition of art.

My favorite has always been Van Gogh.

I am also a fan of Viggo Mortensen, who takes collages to the next level.

Then there are people who turn the bible into lego art. (The Garden of Eden)

And then there is latte art.

For anyone still playing, find me a cozy place to sleep.

Yee-haw!

2007-02-24T09:08:00.000-05:00

I had too much fun w/ this one...

The first two, some cowboys dancing!

Or attempting to dance...

The naked cowboys with some guys who WISH they were the naked cowboy...

And last, a rodeo!

Since I'm going down to an art gallery today, find me some neat looking art.

How to grow a Boyfriend from the ground

2007-02-22T12:25:00.000-05:00

You can have him, honey...
...because I'm stealing his girlfriend. Muahahahaha!

However, if our plan should fail due to a lack of attraction of Evangeline Lilly to myself (I'll lay it on as thick as possible, I will!), we should have back-up plans.

Back-up #1: Creepy Boyfriend, Inc. They should be able to dig one up for you. But like they claim, he will be creepy and your panties will be sniffed.
Back-up #2: Stuffed boyfriends. Always pleasant. Always warm and cozy.

Back-up #3: Grow one. Guaranteed growth (up to 6xs!!) for your pleasure.

Since I was watching one of the most hilariously awful movies of all time last night, find me some cowboys... doing it their way.

Chuck Norris is god!

2007-02-20T21:42:00.000-05:00

First - Chuck Norris circa 1976

Chuck Norris' Action Jeans - won't bind your legs!!

And just plain old Chuck Norris!

Find me a boyfriend! ;-)

Ssscat

2007-02-19T23:32:00.000-05:00

You should try this.

It's called Ssscat. It's got a motion detector on it and when your cat comes near, it releases gas and scares the crap out of it. Like so

Find me Chuck Norris.

A hot (old) Aussie

2007-02-19T19:36:00.000-05:00

Once upon a time, Paul Hogan was hot. Maybe he still is now--I don't know.

Hmmm...find me something that will keep my cat out of my fish tank.

Rejected Hats

2007-02-17T17:37:00.000-05:00

Also I found this totally irrelevant graphic:

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Since I'm hanging out with Heath Ledger, find me another hot Aussie... and I'm not talking Russell Crowe here, people...

Look out!

2007-02-17T11:54:00.000-05:00

Pretty funny!

Find me a silly hat.

Cheap ass for rent

2007-02-17T03:19:00.000-05:00

So, yeah I know it's not really a donkey.. more like an ox, but ... it's still cheap nonetheless. So, I guess try hijacking the next donkey/ox you find.. and get on out of Atlanta.... :)

Since my roommates are ridiculously drunk and woke me up.. find me some good examples of practical jokes.

The Swamp of Sadness

2007-02-16T17:32:00.000-05:00

Cheesey tots and sadness go with beer.

Find me a way out of Atlanta.

My, what a big mouth you have

2007-02-16T14:39:00.000-05:00

This little beastie is Eurypharynx pelecanoides, or "the umbrella-mouthed gulper." It's a deep-sea eel. Here's a photo:

And here's a drawing of it:

Deep-sea creatures are so freaking cool. Now find me something that goes well with beer (besides cheesy tatertots).

Slashy Soft Core

2007-02-15T13:16:00.000-05:00

Slash originated primarily from Kirk/Spock lovin' lovers. So in honor of this:

And in honor of the only sorta slashy male thing on my hard drive-

And a sampling of my preferred fare-

Hope that suffices. :D

Show me an animal I've probably never seen or heard of before!

Your Mom's Face is Shiny

2007-02-14T18:17:00.000-05:00

You know what else is shiny? THE PRECIOUS!

Speaking of Wood, I think it's about time for a slashy pic. Find me one.

Frick on a stick with a brick

2007-02-14T11:31:00.000-05:00

Chicken-heads-on-a-stick. I hear they're delectable. Also: creepy as hell.

In case you need to erase that image from your brain, here is something a little more appealing. It's cheesecake-on-a-stick!

I'll take 50, thanks.

Now find me something shiny!

MORTAL PEEP FIGHT

2007-02-13T17:16:00.000-05:00

From my own personal stash.

This is what we did, only on a plate that became a hat.

Find me something on a stick.

2007-02-13T16:54:00.000-05:00

i couldn't resist!

i, too, with the not-knowing-what-i-want-you-to-find-me!

but since i'm about to go battle this rainy, dreary afternoon with a cozy cup of hot chocolate...
find me some marshmallow art.

"Everybody loves a saucy squeeze!"

2007-02-13T14:52:00.000-05:00

I'm going with another video posting. This is a commercial they played a lot while I was in Australia. It cracked me up...but maybe that was just me. You be the judge. (Click on the picture to go to the video.)
Find me a picture that illustrates a cliche or saying (e.g. a picture of ducks in a row or eggs in a basket).

Lamer

2007-02-12T22:54:00.000-05:00

The girl on the far right.... Lame. ;-)

Find me something saucy.

Someone better than Jack Bauer...

2007-02-12T22:46:00.000-05:00

Is...Capt'n Jack! MMmmm...

I also feel like I think of lame things to find...so speaking of that...find me something lame.

Hey, I like your sleeves.

2007-02-12T22:34:00.000-05:00

Everyone wants to be prom!Deb.

Not good enough? You say you're going to the prom incubating your second baby?? Try this on for size.

Find me someone better than Jack Bauer. (I know, it'll be hard...)

Some thing beat up some other thing

2007-02-12T20:46:00.000-05:00

Gotta post this in video form because it cracked me up. And what is the tall white thing? I'm not sure, but he kicked that other thing's ass.

And also? Someone please tell me what this is:

Man, I suck at thinking up new topics. How about finding me...a dress for the prom? You know, if I were 16 and all.

Wall 'o Weasels

2007-02-12T12:36:00.000-05:00

Find me some fighting mascots.

Weasels and wenches

2007-02-10T17:43:00.000-05:00

The first thing that came to mind with "medieval" was the phrase, "I'm going to get medieval on your ass!" Which, of course, was said by Marsellus Wallace (played by Ving Rhames) in Pulp Fiction:
But if you're looking for a more traditional interpretation, here are the "Medieval Baebes." Apparently they are a group of chicks who are trying to revive medieval poetry and music.

Or you could always go to your local medieval festival with a weasel down your shirt. Why? I don't know.
Hey, speaking of weasels! Find me one.

Highland games!

2007-02-09T17:37:00.000-05:00

How about some Caber tossing?

Or how about throwing a 30 lb weight over your head?

Find me something medieval!

Kracken good fun

2007-02-08T12:55:00.000-05:00

Oh, I do love pirates:

That would be Jack Sparrow in the face of the Kracken. My hero.

Find me a crazy astronaut. Oh, wait, too easy. Find me some people playing an unusual sport.

Holy Scripture, Batman!

2007-02-08T12:03:00.000-05:00

Imagine all the new interpretations this Bible would make possible!

And when you're done imagining...find me a heroic way to die. Unlike Edmund Burke on last night's episode of LOST. Which made me laugh out loud :)

for Office Boredom Alleviation

2007-02-07T11:51:00.000-05:00

and because I think it's funny.

Not that I actually recommend you kill yourself or be imprisoned by office supplies. But it might get you a day off.

Hmmnn... Find me something that shouldn't have holes but does.

If only I could go to work in my pajamas.

2007-02-07T11:30:00.000-05:00

I don't know about you guys, but to me, comfortable = pajamas.

And yes, that's a sushi print from The Cat's Pajamas, pj makers for the stars:

Find me a solution to workplace boredom.

Go away, sick feeling!

2007-02-06T22:05:00.000-05:00

All stolen from collegehumor.com, but I had to upload to pb! Just to make you laugh! LOL!

Funny sign from England

A nekkid crew!

Sounds like good fun!!!

And last...

Soo...find me something comfortable!

It's not that my head is a goat's head, but that my entire head is a goat

2007-02-06T18:34:00.000-05:00

Speaking of things inedible... or rather things people might eat despite how much you think otherwise, in my search for a goat's head, I discovered people EAT goat heads. Also they make goat head soup. I refuse to post that, as I find it vile. Instead, I am posting a cuddly and cute head of a fully intact goat.

I am quite nauseous at the moment, partially because of the goat head soup and partially because I just watched my roommate throw up (which was in no way related to the goat head soup photos), please please please find me something that will make the nauseousness go away!

Does the cookie still crumble if it looks like poo?

2007-02-06T16:45:00.000-05:00

As a lover of cookies, I must say it was difficult to find a "bad" cookie because most cookies are inherently very, very good (except for cookies that have raisins instead of chocolate chips and you bite into them thinking, "Hey, cool! Chocolate chips!" only to find out that they are in fact raisins. Damn raisins. I hate those guys.) Anyhoo, here's a "macaroon Big Mac." +10 points for the creativity, but -50 points for the TURDS.

I also came across this, which is technically a cake but still looks disgusting:

Don't believe it is edible? Here's the recipe.

This search has made me crave cookies, like, WHOA. Find me a goat's head while I search for a cookie.

Watermelons

2007-02-06T16:09:00.000-05:00

My first post! *new*

External:

Internal:

Both are disturbing on some level.

Oh dear... Could someone produce a cookie that should never have been baked?

Egyptian Drag Queen

2007-02-06T12:56:00.000-05:00

"Hatshepsut dressed like a man and wore a false beard to prove that she could be Pharoah." ~wikipedia

and, looking not so regal and a lot more scary:

now, to go with how i'm feeling of late, find me an personified watermelon!

Would you care for a salad?

2007-02-06T11:54:00.000-05:00

This is a delectable kumara and bacon salad. I had kumara when I was in NZ, and it just tasted like a funky potato. What was funnier, though, was that all of my students liked to go party at a place called "The Big Kumara." I just found it amusing that the hip place to go was named after a potato-like thing.

Aaaaanyway, here it is:

Find me a bearded lady!

Great Scot!

2007-02-05T20:20:00.000-05:00

Here's one for ya!

Gotta add one in a kilt...

And how about one in a towel??

And now for the older but hot one...

~~Find me a nose flute!~~

Oops, in keeping w/ one of my favorite Billeh things, find me some kumara and bacon!

There's a piper in my room

2007-02-05T10:00:00.000-05:00

It's not that he isn't lovely, or that his music isn't nice, it's just I wouldn't want him to play in the apartment above me.

Speaking of Scots, find me a hot one.

Plankton rock.

2007-02-04T20:50:00.000-05:00

Firstly, I found this page, which was full of super cool plankton sculptures.

The artist's name is Louise Hibbert. Perhaps she will be at the conference. I also found this picture, which was accompanied by an equally cute story:

Ok, so since my upstairs neighbor is stomping around SUPER LOUDLY, find me someone who'd make a bad upstairs neighbor.

Take one home to the wives

2007-02-04T20:07:00.000-05:00

Okay, so I was thinking about this in terms of the shape of the bottle. And in this quest I found:

Somewhat phallic looking...

I'm not sure what this suggests other than the Janitor turned his squirrel army into liquor flasks, but I thought it was funny.

But then I was reminded of a local beer brewed in Utah. The bottle is a regular shaped bottle, but the label is suggestive. It says "Why just have one?" Oh, those Mormons are crazy!

Since I am at an oceanography conference and there is a "plankton as artistic inspiration" exhibition, hows about you find me some planktonic art.

Tee hee

2007-02-04T02:41:00.000-05:00

Who asked for the chinchilla-chino??? Get it?? Hah.. alright, I'm done.

Find me an odd, suggestive looking liquor bottle.

Bad to the bone!!

2007-02-03T23:31:00.000-05:00

Bad idea!

Now, since I was holding a cute rare animal today (but I'm not going to say what so I don't influence the next post) how about a cute animal!

Help yourself

2007-02-03T17:10:00.000-05:00

well, among all the options out there (How to Write an Illinois Will, How to Fabricate Damn Near Anything, How to Be Happy, Dammit, and How to Tie Scarves), this one is my favorite:

(you might have to click on it to see it)

and a close second:

now, since it's february, how about finding me an awful Valentine's Day idea?

My second poo-related post

2007-02-03T15:06:00.000-05:00

I'll let this one speak for itself (if you can't read it, click on it because man, the subtitle is awesome):

I like this book theme. How about finding me a self-help book? Self-help books crack me up.

(PS. Hope nobody minds, but to cut down on site loading time, I reduced the number of posts to be displayed to 2.)

it's a bird, it's a plane, it's...

2007-02-03T10:10:00.000-05:00

SUPER SQUIRREL!

or how about...

SNIPER SQUIRREL!

With their powers combined, Super Squirrel and Sniper Squirrel strive to eliminate the likes of...

Stalker Squirrel

let's see...how about finding me a book that never should've been written?

I want this

2007-02-03T02:59:00.000-05:00

I want this... then I'd get that leg lamp from the Christmas Story movie.. and I'd look like a serial killer w/random women's body parts.. hehe.. I kid I kid!!

Find me a squirrel with superpowers

Marketing... or Terrorist Attack?

2007-02-02T20:10:00.000-05:00

I find it odd this is the request - I just learned about this not an hour ago (perhaps because I am news-clueless).

Cartoon Network (based in Atlanta, by the way) contracted people to hang up these glowing cartoon guys around cities to advertise Aqua Teen Hunger Force. Only, Boston had a big problem with this. They thought it was part of a terrorist attack and closed down the city.

These guys, the ones who hung them up in Boston, are being charged. And yet all they can talk about is hair. Because the situation is THAT ridiculous. Read more.

Genius. Pure genius.

The world is an expletive place!

Since my friend gave me all this info, she got to pick the next item... and she would like a very interesting lamp.

It's a Wiz!

2007-02-02T18:23:00.000-05:00

Here's one you can make at home!

Or perhaps a pack of Mr. Wizard!!

Since I'm worried about my marketing class - find me some awesome marketing!

"Hey Napoleon, give me some of your tots"

2007-02-02T17:10:00.000-05:00

Here's a jumbo/LARGE for you. Clearly what you should be doing is eating some cheesy tots, except minus the freaky burritos and plus a pitcher of Harp (dang, we should've planned this because I've been craving cheesy tots since 10am):

The burritos also freak me out because they say "Big Juan" on them, and "Juan" happens to be one of my co-workers. The one that breaks the freeze-dryer flasks all the time.

In honor of the release date of the next Harry Potter book, find me a wizard!

WAKE UP WAKE UP WAKE UP WAKE UP

2007-02-02T16:45:00.000-05:00

In my honest opinion, you should try one of two things:

One. Caffeinated Donuts. Delicious pastries that contain as much caffeine as two cups of coffee. Not that that donut should replace your coffee. It's just an added bonus.

...OR...

Two. Clocky. Please please please go watch the video. You could play a drinking game with her usage of the word 'playful'. I like the idea, but her video makes me never want to buy it. And why, dear lord, did she make it look like a brick of shit?! Because nothing's more 'playful' than a turd on wheels!

Since it's Friday, and I have no plans, find me something I could be doing on a Friday night.

2007-02-02T11:04:00.000-05:00

he's the cutest i could find! now, why were you at the hospital?

find something to wake me up...i'm really struggling with that today...

Their tea must be awesome

2007-02-01T16:34:00.000-05:00

I don't know if "Fireflys" is a gas station or not, but this picture is funny (and refers to iced tea):

Do I get extra points because it refers to your mom?

Since I'm sitting in the hospital today, how about a picture of a cute doctor who is NOT in a TV show?

Oops

2007-02-01T11:03:00.000-05:00

.. Find me something with ghetto ice tea (the tea you get from gas stations for real cheap)

Oh Tom Jones

2007-02-01T10:59:00.000-05:00

Tom Jones... Boxing... Sexy

Spoon Tiara!

2007-02-01T00:03:00.000-05:00

Who doesn't want a tiara made of spoons?

Find me something sexy.

and here's my request...

2007-01-31T16:23:00.000-05:00

find me an alternate use for a common household utensil.

Wish I could take credit for this one, but it was all Jenna-a-juice

2007-01-31T14:29:00.000-05:00

On behalf of Jenn-a-juice who emailed me this picture that nearly made me snort very hot coffee up my nose, I submit this phallic picture:

Tee hee hee. Watch out, Austin, Texas! Jenna-a-juice, have you a request for the next object? (PS. An invite email should be on its way to you.)

Chocolate covered cock...

2007-01-31T12:28:00.000-05:00

...roaches, anyone?

Find me something phallic (that is NOT pornographic). I'm much more a fan of subtlety and allusions....

Let them eat giant fruit-shaped cake

2007-01-31T10:10:00.000-05:00

There were a lot of giant fruit pictures to choose from. I am going to go with this because not only are these two giant strawberries, but they are also CAKES. Two very large cakes! And everybody loves cake, so here you are:

This also cracked me up:

Speaking of cake, how about finding me something chocolatey?

He's our hero!

2007-01-30T23:00:00.000-05:00

This is just wrong...

And here he is lending a helping hand!

Find me a giant fruit.

Play this!

2007-01-30T21:19:00.000-05:00

Oh, you totally did! You've summoned one of my favoritest pictures on the interweb!

A NOSE FLUTE!

The original did not have a sarcasm hat... and I found it and they got cranky I was stealing their bandwidth and now I can't find it at all. So the sarcasm hat you get. And then of course, there is:

But I digress into obscurity and jumbo/LARGES...

Regarding unusual instruments, there is also:

The serpent

and the ocarina

which was played by Quailman, if I'm remembering correctly...

and if you had an ocarina, you could go here and play Doug's Quailman Theme.

Find me Captain Planet.

Polly wants a good book to read

2007-01-30T20:40:00.000-05:00

[Comment from Josh: "Why don't you guys put the request at the top of each new entry?" Hmm. Perhaps not a bad idea. Also, I second the idea of Jenna-a-juice joining our humble blog.]

The request: A precocious pet.

Dude, I can't choose just one:

A picture of a bird with his head up his arse is just freaking HILARIOUS...well, to me anyway.

Now find me an unusual musical instrument.

Mad science ala Jenna

2007-01-30T19:45:00.000-05:00

Jenn-a-juice has offered up one for us. It's a video - sorry I couldn't include it.

Who the hell said scientists aren't funny?!

Bonus points and theoretical cookies homemade by beag air bheag for anyone who can name the song in the video.

Jenna requests you find her a precocious pet.

Jenna, would you like to play regularly?? :) I have the powers to add you. You know you want to!

Feeling toasty

I was trying to come up with something more creative, but then I found this and it made me giggle:

Definitely a bad idea if you happen to be a snowperson.

Find me a mad scientist.

Freezing my Kiefer off!

2007-01-30T08:41:00.000-05:00

This was about as funny as I could come up with. That does not look comfortable. (And yesterday, no kidding! My eyes were frozen by the time I got to work! Hot-lanta, my ass!)

Edit: An afterthought. Maybe one day we'll see this pun on the weather channel! (Man, this movie better come out on dvd!)

Find me a bad idea.

Small, big-nosed, and furless

2007-01-29T11:16:00.000-05:00

Let's face it: baba pandas are ugly.

I mean, its nose takes up most of its face. But if you're a mother panda, I suppose you'd be pretty psyched that this weird furless creature was your kid.

Hmm. Find me someone freezing their keister off...as I was doing this morning on the walk to MARTA.

Camelot!

2007-01-29T06:46:00.000-05:00

On second thought, let's not go to Camelot, 'tis a silly place!

How about a face only a mother could love?

Veggie wear?!

2007-01-28T23:39:00.000-05:00

Oh man, this took some thinking...

Where would you not usually find a vegetable? On a person... permanently. That is some hardcore vegetable lovin'!

Find me a silly place.

Oh, poo!

2007-01-28T22:43:00.000-05:00

Wasn't sure if you meant a dirty job that Mike Rowe has done or something he could do, so I went with the "could do." I imagine that gathering up horse poo would be a pretty dirty job:

Speaking of poo, did anybody see the musical Scrubs episode? There was a whole song about poo. Also while I was searching, I came across this picture:

What cracked me up about this was that the machine behind him looks suspiciously like an LCMS. If only Mike knew that standing so close to such a machine will suck away your soul...

Find me a vegetable in an unusual place.

Tradition, Schmadition! No boat for this pirate!

2007-01-28T22:02:00.000-05:00

Also, brown and sticky: a stick. (AHHHAHA! I kill me!)

Avast! Yon beastie's about as non-traditional as they come. Not man nor parrot nor monkey. And he's in the desert, plundering burrows I imagine, because this beastie's got no sea legs. He hasn't got much legs at all.

Now it be time to find me a job only Mike Rowe would do... or it'll be the plank for ye!

Brown and Sticky!!

2007-01-28T17:11:00.000-05:00

Here's something brown and sticky...and it looks quite yummy!
How about a non-traditional pirate? Hehe.

Cats in threads

2007-01-27T23:22:00.000-05:00

I dedicate this post to my brothers, who both love kitties. One asked me to knit his stuffed cat a sweater and the other pointed out these:

A fake cat in a fake sweater.A fake cat in a real sweater.And a real cat in a real sweater.

Who wants to find me something brown and sticky?

Elf on a scooter

2007-01-27T16:07:00.000-05:00

Moving this scavenger hunt over here from beag air bheag...

The request: a elf on a scooter. Kind of a toughie.

Here's a literal elf on a scooter. Sort of:

Yes, indeed--that's a Christmas decoration that you too could put in your front yard! (Um, yeah, there wasn't much to choose from in the "elf on a scooter department.")

If you wanted a less literal interpretation, here's an elf on a motorcycle:

Just a little brainstorming on how to make this blog work: if anyone wants to play regularly and be added as an author to this blog, let us know. If you still want to play and don't want to be an author, you can join in by posting a link the picture in the comments section and one of us can turn it into a real post on your behalf. How does that sound, beag air bheag? (Side note: can I use your first name or no? You know, for future reference.)

Now go find me a cat in a sweater!

The origins of your mom

2007-01-26T15:13:00.000-05:00

So one day, we were all talking over at beag air bheag's blog. She proposed we start an internet scavenger hunt in her comments section. And then she said, "Find me a flower in the snow." So The Rock Lobster, always game for internet antics, found this:

The pig's name is Flower, and clearly she is in the snow. Then The Rock Lobster was all, "Find me a frog eating a bug." So beag air bheag obligingly posted this:

And then she said someone should find her a coffee cup she could swim in, so The Rock Lobster found this, complete with its own giant creamer:

The Rock Lobster then requested an angry midget. Beag air bheag graciously supplied the following:

His name is Hank, and he is definitely an angry little person. Next on the list, per beag air bheag's request, was a cheese ball. Some internet sleuthing returned this:

This piece of culinary genius is a "Cheese-a-pet." The Rock Lobster wanted to see a funny pair of socks. Beag air bheag found this...thing:

Oh, the horror.

Then we made this blog, and onelostmoth joined in, too. And thus began the search for your mom. On the interweb.
