[Heddi]

44. erm

a buffalo is like a yak, right?

[LeftishBrit]

53. Your picture isn't showing...

ahem.

Merry Christmas. I love you.

[frogmarch]

7. Thanks! tee hee :-)

[moggie]

8. I don't think I can be in this clique

(a) perpetual last-kid-chosen, (b) currently leaning more towards atheist clique more than skeptics clique, because the uniform is cooler. Also, more Fordson than John Deere person, sorry.

[frogmarch]

9. moggie, wait! If you

can understand the lyrics to this Joe Cocker song without reading the subtitles, this is your clique!

http://www.elwp.com/Joe%20Cocker.html

[Heddi]

11. snort

oh baby hoggify

[moggie]

13. Don't insult my heritage, you racist!

I need substitles for American films! Particularly those starring Nicolas Cage!

[Heddi]

16. oh baby hoggify

ha ha

[Heddi]

19. Ya know

the other night I had a patient that looked and sounded like Nicholas Cage if Nicholas Cage were homeless, alcoholic, and a polysubstance abuser.

He had gotten himself into a tangle of parapalegia and back injuries, and needed help going Number Two. So I put him on a bed pan and he's like aaaaaaaaa oh my god omygod help it out! help it out

and I said "um, what do you mean 'help it out'

and he's all frantic and he says "dig it out put your finger up there like they did before yeah that helped yeah that was the ticket yeah just dig it out oh god oh god"

and Im like "oh god oh god"

So in the end, I stuck my finger up his butt but there was no poo there.

So now you know the "dark side" of nursing. And now you know why I get the handsome sum of $48 an hour. $2 an hour for passing meds, $47 an hour for the off-chance that I have to stick my fingers up a frantic patient's ass.

[Heddi]

10. Oh, you must be a Happy Moog

will this change your mind?



You are loved. By me.

Here are our new "Fall '08" uniforms as well. I think you'll like these....



To me, nothing says "Skeptic" like a terry/velvet DISNEY WARM-UP SUIT wooooooooooooooooo

[moggie]

12. Pooh varsity!

My alma mater! How did you know? And yes, I love the coaster set and bowl, because no dinner party is complete without something which looks like it was ripped from the decaying carcass of a dead deer.

I still have the uneasy feeling that I don't know what's wrong with a glass and brass coffee table, though. I... may... have once owned one of those.

[Heddi]

17. personally

I'm all for the accompanying "keep your nuts in an antler bowl" pictured at the bottom. I know my nuts are most delish when they're kept in a bowl of antlers.

[lizerdbits]

18. We need our own John Deere Fleece to signify unity

to Big Yak. Perhaps a yak on a John Deere?

[Heddi]

20. A yak WITH john deer

or a yak RIDING john deere?

oh baby hoggify!

[Heddi]

25. Here's your present too

STOP LOOKING AT MY TITS EVEN THOUGH THE NIPPLES ARE FLASHING RED!!!!!!!!!!!!!

God Loves you and so do I

[realisticphish]

21. it really is our own lounge

a wooless lounge, where everyone knows what yaks, threefer madness, and bunny cages are

[Heddi]

23. BUNNY CAGES

So in order to show how the towers fall, I made a model using a half of a bendy straw, some saliva, and an old cracker I found at the bottom of my fridge.

I used a flameless-lighter to represent the jet fuel, and a crusty baguette in place of the planes......

Obviously this is a to-scale, intellectually honest recreation of what actually happened on that fateful day where 102,983,764,287 heroes died. LETS ROOOOOOOOOOL

[Heddi]

24. oh and here's your present

Happy Fort of July. I love you.

[realisticphish]

27. someone

has found a treasure trove of Bradford Exchange products

[Heddi]

28. even better

Harriet FRICKIN Carter baby!

http://www.harrietcarter.com/




My great grandmother used to get Harriet Carter & Walter Drake's catalogs of useless garbage when I was younger. Man, you could have diabetic socks, a "back massager" (wink wink) and a little razor blade tucked in a comb to cut your dogs hair all on one page. It was great. Still is. There is a tree shortage thanks to me continuously ordering these wacky catalogs.

[realisticphish]

31. honestly

those water bottle things are pretty nice, if you've ever had a dog out on a long walk; it's easier than carrying a bowl, or pouring half of it onto the ground while they drink out of your hand

[Heddi]

22. And a sweet by and by.....

this is how one procrastinates doing Statistics homework for 3 days.......

oh look...someone needs to find the z scores. Hah! not now...I've got pictures of YAKS to find woohoo

[uriel1972]

26. Where do you find such

maaaaarvelous gifts? I must know.

[Heddi]

29. Harriet Carter Catalog of Shit

www.harrietcarter.com

there's a link at the bottom to get a free catalog. The catalog is alot better than the website. So much cheesier.

Here's a present for you, when you're reading outside on a hot summer's day



It's like the products make sense, but are just kind of wrong at the same time. Like yeah, the sun gets on books when I'm reading outside, but do I necessarily need this big-ass shade clipped to my book? Is that necessarily necessary????

[realisticphish]

32. and

do you have to move it with every page turn?

I mean, if i'm translating sanskrit, i guess it would take that long to finish two pages, but reading english?

[uriel1972]

36. one of the top picks

kinoki detox footpads :/ why not yak urine? we gotta get in on this act:)

[jberryhill]

37. Skymall...

You can while away many a flying hour by challenging your companion to a game of "find the quintessential dumbest item in SkyMall."

You take turns, pointing out a stupid item that is more stupid than the previous one.

Start small with, say, the "toaster" that does two hot dogs and their buns:



Quite simply, if you have counter space for one of those, you need a smaller kitchen.

Or this one, entitled "How To Tell If Anti-Immigration Laws Are Working":



With this unique caddy, there's no need to ask for help, then still struggle to move a heavy potted plant.

At only $69.95, the money you'll save on swarthy foreigners or shifty teenagers can be put toward the $169.95 Grocery List Organizer:



The only way making a list could be easier is if this organizer read your mind! Just talk, and your grocery or errand list is automatically noted.

Nope. Not me. I'm holding out for the one that can read my mind. I should actually build and program the version that reads minds. It's pretty simple, since all it has to say is "You're a fucking obsessive compulsive nut with too much money."

[Heddi]

45. LOVE the skymall

nothing makes a 12 hour non-stop trans-atlantic flight Somewhat bearable like skymall. And hubby and I go through and point out the ridiculous things (which it is so chock full of)

This is my MOST FAVOURITE



This person is able to sleep comfortably in any Seat! Can you say the same? Probably not, unless you have SkyRest. Here's what the travel experts and press are saying about SkyRest:

# Dailycandy.com "The miraculous, wedge-shaped travel pillow makes even the most uncomfortable spots downright pleasant."
# Dallas Morning News "But you can be...more comfortable with a SkyRest pillow...Simply lean forward and snooze, and the miles will fly by."
# SkyRest has also been featured by USA Today, Peter Greenberg, and the Early Show on CBS.

Why not join our many thousands of satisfied customers and enjoy the benefits of this uniquely different and very flexible travel pillow. SkyRest deflates and folds into an easy-to-pack size and shape. The large, removable inflation valve makes inflation and deflation a snap!

---
I would *TOTALLY* get seated next to that douchebag, drooling and snoring all over me and my soduko as we're only HALF WAY TO ICELAND and another glorious 6 hours of flight left.

Oh this is funny. I like the description

[jberryhill]

47. Did you SEE that guy's carry-on luggage?

He got that from SkyMall too:

35. That one could run and run...

'Barbie in Virtual Hell' (anyone come across those websites); 'Zoroastrian Barbie'; 'Barbie Doing Naughty Things with the God Zeus'..

[onager]

39. There used to be an Alternative Barbie site.

Or probably several. Mattel got very aggressive about sending the lawyers after them.

I think I remember Trailer Trash Barbie, Welfare Mother Barbie, Crack 'Ho Barbie, Pole Dancer Barbie, Biker Barbie and Meth Cooker Barbie.

More on-topic, I think Mattel even went after Carol McCullough's "Barbie On The Cross." She also got death threats from Fundiloons. Her intentions seemed sincere, even if her...erm...execution was a little questionable:

[mr blur]

38. "our own little lounge" but without the drivel,

don't you think?

[Heddi]

40. 10% fewer fart jokes per page as well

and when we do tell fart jokes, we use the word "Flatus" and not fart, because we're smarter than fart. :)

[onager]

42. And you are our very own Nurse Preen!

From The Man Who Came To Dinner:

Nurse Preen: ...I became a nurse because all my life, ever since I was a little girl, I was filled with the idea of serving a suffering humanity.

After one month with you, Mr. Whiteside, I am going to work in a munitions factory. From now on, anything I can do to help exterminate the human race will fill me with the greatest of pleasure.

If Florence Nightingale had ever nursed you, Mr. Whiteside, she would have married Jack the Ripper instead of founding the Red Cross.

[Heddi]

43. snort

that's totally like my thoughts. I really don't like people, hate working with and around other people, don't really care one way or another.....but I do love my job....and I'm really good at it. I find that the nurses that hate people are the best nurses around :)

[Heddi]

46. here's your gift of membership

Easy To Use Over-Door Cervical Traction!

ActiveForever is excited to carry the NECKpro Over-door Cervical Traction System! The NECKpro offers simple, easy, effective and portable cervical traction. It comes completely assembled, ready to use right out of the box and is the perfect travel companion. This easy to use cervical traction device has many great features that separates it from the rest of the cervical traction devices on the market.

The NECKpro over-door cervical traction device, eliminates the bag of water or weights and the trial and error method of traction therapy offered by conventional home over-door cervical traction systems. By coupling a precision, computer designed compression spring with a unique patented rope ratcheting device, the NECKpro delivers a more precise amount of cervical traction incrementally.

Each audible "click" of the ratchet signals an approximate 1 lb. increase in the tension being applied; i.e., 1 click equals 1 lb., 2 clicks equals 2 lbs. and so on, up to 20 lbs. This allows the patient to monitor and track these increases for maximum benefit during each therapy session. Once the patient has reached the desire level of traction or clicks, simply release the rope and relax for the duration of each therapy session. The ratchet locks automatically, maintaining the desired tension/traction.

NECKpro Over-door Cervical Traction System includes NECKpro compression spring & racket assembly, head halter and overdoor bracket (fits doors measuring up to 1.5" (3.8 cm) in thickness.

May be used for the relief of neck pain associated with cervical disc herniations, spondylosis, osteoarthritis, cervical radiculopathy, neck strain, pinched nerve in upper spine with associated pain radiating down upper extremities, tension and/or tightness (muscle spasm) in muscles of the upper back, shoulders and neck, fibromyalgia, whiplash, and insomnia.
