Our First Poem

BRA SHOPPING

My Breasts Have Fallen and They Can’t Get Up

So I poured them into my trusty C-Cup

My Bra is old, as am I

Don’t ask me what size, I’d only lie

The solution is simple, the answer is clear

I must do that thing that I most fear

I must go to the store and shop and compare

And buy a new bra, and perhaps underwear

Frederick and Victoria both make me tense

But I had a plan that seemed to make sense

I would go get a Playtex, the famous ‘Cross Your Heart’

Found in the middle of my local Wal-Mart

I saw bras in boxes, I saw bras on racks

With hooks in the fronts, the sides, and the backs

I breezed right past the cute and the flirty

And found the back section, for us over thirty

And in a dark corner, down by the floor

Were sizes for those weighing 150 or more

The selection was grim, the colors were bleak

But at least the elastic, it didn’t look weak

Canvas is used instead of black lace

Style, femininity, class – not a trace!

I saw four or five that maybe might fit

If I didn’t reach up, lean forward, or sit

There at the fitting room, about to go in

I was stopped by a clerk who was tired and grim

Her word is law, only three items at a time

Then get yourself dressed and get back into line

To try on the others; left (to my dismay)

Like a very cruel dieter’s incentive display

I try on the first one, miles of white

How can something so damn big be too tight?

The next is no better, the straps cut like knives

But at last with the third, a miracle arrives

It fits rather well; I can sit, I can breathe!

I’ll just buy it and then, Thank God, I can leave

But wait, what’s that tingle I’m starting to feel

In the fancy underwires – made of forged stainless steel?

It seems that the metal is picking up transmissions

From an AM station that plays music for Christians

I can feel it, I can hear it, as my bosom vibrates

To the sweet gentle notes of old Amazing Grace

I think I can live with this, I decide that it’s worth it

The music is minor, compared to the great fit

Then fate and the DJ deal a most heartless blow

The next song is loudly and clearly Swing Low

So I try on six more, then seven and eight

I cannot find one I don’t totally hate

The lesser of evils becomes my next goal

My God! This isn’t a cup, it’s a stiff ugly bowl

So here is the one I bought at long last

Now please excuse me, I’m going to get smashed

I deserve a drink, a smoke, and a lay

Because I went out and bought a bra today

The Lemonade Chronicles: The Final Chapter

I had a Serbian gentleman come to dinner one time, years ago, when I was living in a dusty border town. Tall and good looking in a John Larroquette sort of way. It was from him that I first heard the term, “Bukrah inshallah” which translates to , “Tomorrow, Allah Willing” which as you may imagine is not an airtight promise.

Since then I have heard the remark, supposedly from a Clancy novel,

“insh\'allah carries the same meaning as mañana, but without the urgency.”

Which is hilarious if you’ve ever experienced true Mañana.

So when, on Thursday, I said I would finish the Lemonade Chronicles tomorrow, I really should have said,

“so mañana we will review Emergen-C Pink.”

But I couldn’t figure out how to make the little eñe N. And of course I didn’t say Bukrah Enshallah because I would have had to look it up and then I would have had to explain it. . . .

So. Emergen-C Pink. I told y’all yesterday (four days ago) about the proceeds going to Keep-a-Breast. Today we talk about the product itself.

Emergen-C is a vitamin supplement that emphasizes vitamin C and B. It is a powder that you add to water that fizzes. It comes in different formulas and flavors. Emergen-C Pink is pink lemonade flavored.

A 36 packet box of Emergen-C Pink costs roughly 12.00 dollars US. Which is 33 cents a packet. With a recommended dosage of 2-4 packets a day. Every day. Which is a wee bit more expensive than Flintstones Silver. Or was that Centrum Chewables? Either way it costs more than normal OTC vitamins. But less than some of the fru-fru health club concoctions.

Each packet of Emergen-C Pink has 25 calories. Which if you are a Weight Watcher you know is the five calories it takes to go from zero points to one point. Times 2-4 times a day. So if I were to take the minimum recommended dose I would have to give up one Bud Light a day. Just sayin.

Okay, so you think your health is worth from sixty-six cents to a dollar thirty three a day and you measure your dietary needs in something other than ‘points’. You want to know more about the product.

Every Pink Ribbon Product Review that we do here will include a discussion about the specific shade of pink. The packaging sports a pink ribbon (surprise!) against a pink background that fades from light to dark. A very non-obnoxious pink. The lighter color pink reminds me of those chalky hearts we used to eat as kids around valantines day. The package also has a picture of a normal lemon that is cut into a wedge, showcasing a pink interior. As I may have mentioned before – there is no such thing as a pink lemon!!!!!!!

So, rip open the foil packet (easy) and pour into glass of water. It fizzes. It is a pleasant enough pink shade, natural looking. Well as natural as can be given that there is no such thing as a pink lemon. I first tried Emergen-C Pink when I had a cold. I’m a firm believer in locking the barn door after. . . . .

Anyway, when I first tried Emergen-C Pink I liked the pleasant tart/sweet lemonade flavor. It didn’t taste like fresh lemons but it didn’t taste like Pledge furniture polish either.

When I no longer had a cold I again tried it. I could taste the vitamins. (Shudder and grimace) I do not like taking regular one-a-day vitamins because when I open the jar the vitamin smell assaults my nose and makes me gag ~ so I think I may be a bit sensitive. My adult son tried it and liked it just fine. Didn’t notice any discernable vitamin taste.

But did it give me more energy? Well, I imagine if I could remember to take it twice a day it might. Or it might not. If you take the four packets a day you will be getting 100% of the recommended daily allowance of Pantothenic Acid, and I don’t think anyone else can promise you that.

Oh, never mind. Seems that Pantothenic Acid is another name for B5. Who knew?

So – on the subject of Emergen-C Pink we are vehemently undecided. I suspect that if you are into supplements you will enjoy the fizziness and all those vitamins will make you feel healthier – whether they make you healthier or not. And if you just aren’t into supplements you’ll never remember to take it so it couldn’t do you any good.

Our next Pink Ribbon Product Review will be the Pink Sharpie! But it may take awhile to write because I have to edit out this huge ZT diatribe that threatens an otherwise thoughtful and well balanced review.

Have a Wonderful Healthy Week!

The Lemonade Chronicles III

I’ve been aware for sometime now that you cannot swing a dead cat without hitting some item with a pink ribbon on it.

Some folks say that the ever increasing awareness of this still life-threatening disease is a good thing and others think the whole pink ribbon phenomenon is a crass exploitation that confuses genuine charity with being trendy.

Since I have never once in my entire life been accused of being trendy (or even borderline fashionable) I’ve recused myself from this debate and just focus on having fun with the team.

I now own more pink stuff than I have in my life up to this point. And when I go shopping? Lord have mercy! Pink everything. Yogurt, M&M’s, Bagels, Shoes, Ships, Sealing wax, Cabbages & Kings.

And the sale of anything with a pink ribbon on it benefits breast cancer patients, right? Well, not always ~ but that’s for another day.

Today we are doing our first

PINK RIBBON PRODUCT REVIEW

Now Susan G. Komen is inarguably the name in breast cancer. But not the only name. And apparently they do not own the rights to the ribbon. (Which I suspect eats at them every day)

The product we are reviewing today does give 50% of the profits to a breast cancer charity. Like many charities there are layers or sub charities or joint charities, I don’t know. They give the money to keep-a-breast.org, but they do it through or with or nearby another non-profit called Generation Pink, which is not to be confused with Generation Pink, the Gay Pride magazine published in Manila. This Generation Pink is a group a three famous women I’ve never heard of.

One of the women is a former Playboy Model and as well as lending her name (Bebe Buell) to the cause she also lent her bosom to keep-a-breast.

The Keep-a-breast organization Mission Statement:

The Keep A Breast Foundation is a unique non-profit organization creating plaster forms of the female torso, customized by fine artists and auctioned to raise funding for breast cancer. Our mission is to produce art events that increase breast cancer awareness among young people and benefit breast cancer education, prevention and treatment programs in communities around the world.

There was more stuff but when people want to “raise consciousness” and use “symbolic artistry” I sort of doze off. I’m not saying there is anything wrong with what they are doing, not in the least. It all helps, I just personally want my money to go toward buying more Petri dishes and microscopes and stuff.

One interesting thing about the Keep-a-breast website is that their video (which starts playing the minute you hit the site, with music) (Man, I hate websites that do that. At least the pause button on their site is easy to find. On some sites it is impossible to shut the music off and so I have manually turn my speakers down, which means I knock over the stack of CD's on my desk, which knocks my Pepsi all over my keyboard. And older SNL fans know what happens then)

Sorry I seem to have wandered off again. Let me find my train of thought. (See, if we had music on this blog right now you would hear Johnny Cash singing, “I hear the train a comin, it’s comin round the bend. . . .”)

So anyway ~ the video on the keep-a-breast website shows how to do a Breast Self Examination. A BSE in the breast business. The Komen site has a good video, a female voice over and a live action 40 ish looking woman with medium sized breasts. The Keep-a-breast folks have a bunch of young people. I guess the young men are rock musicians from groups performing on the Vans Warped tour. So the video shows young women explaining different parts of the BSE, using young men as models. Some with their shirts on and some with their shirts off. Not a video I would have put together but we’ve already established that I am not the target audience here.

So now that we’ve explained where the money from this product is going, we probably ought to talk about the product itself – which most of you have guessed is a lemonade of some sort.

But we’ve run out of time and space (and probably your attention) for today so tomorrow we will review Emergen-C Pink.

Oh, and just for the record – I have never swung a cat, dead or alive. So you PETA people can just put your outrage back in your bag and step away from the blog.

Correction!

Sigh, my first mistake.

Okay - the first mistake anyone has called me on.


It seems I misquoted our fearless leader Jeannie.
She says her motto is

"trample the weak, hurdle the dead!!"

Silly me!
I guess she is afraid that my misquote,

"trample the wounded, hurdle the dead"

makes her sound too mercenary.

I'm sure we all feel better now.

Simply the Breast

Partners in Crime Charity!

Our Team Captain, Jeannie, is somewhat competitive. Not that there's anything wrong with that. Her personal motto - which we dearly hope she will suspend during the three day walk - is "Trample the Wounded, Hurdle the Dead" Before you start to think poorly of her you have to realize, she's from Texas. Not that there's anything wrong with that.



Anyway, Jeannie sees all the other walking teams as sisters sharing a common mission - but also as competition. So we were relieved when rather than throwing down a gauntlet to 'Simply the Breast' she actually agreed to team up with them!



We bring to the table an army of high energy women and they bring invaluable experience in fund raising. We will be joint hosting a Golf Tournament on September 27th. More details to follow but mark your calendars now!



If you think I'm exaggerating when I refer to our humble group of 8 women as an army - you ought to meet these broads. Jeannie is our Captain. As you can probably tell from my description above - she's the red head of the group. (Truly a red head? You'll have to ask Kevyn, her hairdresser!)



Jeannie is attractive without being vain, although she has her moments. Last week she was communicating with a person via email about some items we are selling via craigslist and she became concerned that the person she was dealing with wasn't entirely legit. I read the suspicious emails and concurred. So then I did a few simple Google searches only using the info that the suspect had on her. I sent to her the readily available information to underscore the idea of practicing good internet hygiene. She was moderately alarmed by the wealth of info just sitting out there but the thing she focused on the most was that the sources I found had her age wrong by two years!



Jeannie has her fingers in several pies at any given time. (Boy howdy I hope that's a common enough metaphor, otherwise it just sounds weird!) One reason I'm so happy for her doing this 3 day walk is that even though she was inspired by her mom's fight with breast cancer; she is doing this for herself rather than for the kids, or the school, or the husband, or the scouts, or whatever. Not that there is anything wrong with being a PTO volunteer or a Den mother or a lady's auxiliary anything - it's just that it is important to find our own fun. S'mores, knots, and crossing guard duty will only sustain a person so long, trust me!



And yes, I'm aware of the irony of claiming that a woman raising 2200 dollars for charity is said to be doing something for herself rather than others. It's part of the mystery of being woman.



Jeannie and Kristine together are like Lucy and Lucy. Which is cool as long as they don't look to me to be Ethel! Each claim that the other is the funniest. Maybe if we ever get video on this blog we'll let y'all decide. Until then it's a tie.



So join us in welcoming Simply the Breast to our kaffeeklatsch and we will see you at the golf tournament!

The Lemonade Chronicles continued. Includes free sample, free recipe, and a little something for our troops.

My brain has turned pink!

My friend Tina says that in her world if a company does not have a website, they don’t really exist. That’s bad. What is worse is the idea that if a company doesn’t have at least one pink-ribbon emblazoned product they must not really care. Cause nothing says caring like donating a dime for [content deleted. no snideness allowed here]

Anyway. . . . I may have mentioned that I am not a fan of powdered lemonade mixes. Or limeade, which is my citrus of choice. But real limeade or lemonade tends to be rather sugary. Which means it is tooo sweet and too high calorie. So awhile back I found a product I love. It’s called True Lime.

They also have true lemon and true orange. I’m anxiously awaiting true grapefruit! It’s a non-calorie lime crystal stuff that you can mix with a glass of water for an amazingly fresh lime taste. The website has a 'recipe' for limeade that uses True Lime , water, and sugar. Trust me - you don't need the sugar. You can also use the little packets for rubbing on a chicken breast before grilling. I like it because it is sugar-free but it doesn’t have artificial sweeteners. (a note to Paul Newman, Tropicana, and Sonic ~ Limes are supposed to be tart!)

When I first read about this product I figured it would be another of those ‘diet’ products that taste a wee bit like Lemon Pledge. But since they had a thing where they would send you a free sample I sent away for some. I like free!

I love it. I liked it so much I actually bought some at the store with real money. I didn’t even have a coupon! (The company sent me some coupons with my free samples but I can’t find them. I’m guessing that’s not really their fault)

So anyway. . . . . I got the hungry-girl newsletter the other day and there was something in there about True Lemon sending packets of this stuff to the troops every time someone requests a free sample. (I guess the water in Iraq tastes much like the water in Chandler) Since I couldn’t order more free samples I forwarded the link to some folks.

Then I thought – if they have a pink lemonade / pink ribbon thing I could post it here. Well, they don’t. Probably because there is no such thing as a pink lemon.

So what should I do? Duh! Here is a company that makes a product I enjoy. A company that wants to show their gratitude to the members of the United States armed forces!

http://truelemon.com/gratitude-sample.html

Team H.O.P.E. is grateful to the one and a half million active duty military and the one and a half million reservists who serve voluntarily!

And apparently some folks over there support us as well:

Oh! I promised y’all a recipe, didn’t I?

Dry Rub for Breasts

2 Tablespoons each:

Paprika (smoked mild if available)

Brown Sugar

2 Teaspoons each:

True Lime

Garlic Powder

Cumin

1 Teaspoon each:

Black Pepper

Salt

Ground Red Chile

Rub all over your breasts. (I did say this was a chicken recipe, didn’t I?) Let set until dinner time. Grill, broil, bake, fry, or whatever.

Tomorrow (or maybe the next day) we will finish up the lemonade chronicles with our first PINK RIBBON PRODUCT REVIEW. You'll never guess what we are reviewing!

Until then. . . . .

The Lemonade Chronicles

I truly hate the trend of giving mixed drinks smutty names. It seems undignified and somewhat childish to me. And I know I would never be able to say “I’d like a sloe comfortable screw against the wall” with a straight face. Well, y’know, to a bartender.

Then it came time for our 411 party. Jeannie seemed to remember that there was a drink recipe about nipples. Man I was all over that!! I always enjoy playing on the computer and pretending it’s work. And strange web searches are my favorite. Come to find out “Sloe Comfortable Screw’ is one of the more tamely named drinks out there. But we’re not here to talk about that – we’re talking about the drink for our party – which will lead into a longer and less coherent story in a day or so.

So anyway. . . I found several drink recipes with the word Nipple. The basic nipple drink is the Pink Nipple, which sounds very yummy.

1. Cream - 6 oz.
2. Grenadine - 1/2 oz.
3. Raspberry Liqueur - 2 oz.

Mix cream with Bols Raspberry Grenadine on top add cherry & Umbrella serve with or without Ice

Serve in a Hurricane Glass

But because we were leaning toward serving the drink in a punch fountain and because none of us have a source at a dairy we decided against the cream base. Then we found the

Pierced Nipple:

· 1 2/3 oz. Vodka, watermelon (Smirnoff Watermelon Twist)

· 2 oz. Cherry Juice

· 1 Cup Limeade

Take Highball glass, add 50 ml of vodka. Next add cherry juice, then fill rest of glass with limeaid. Serve on the rocks.

Perfect! There was some concern about the pulpy limeade in the fountain. One of the ladies (I’ll change her name to protect her reputation. We’ll call her ‘Christine’) suggested we use powdered drink mix.

Now I try to not be snobbish, and usually that isn’t a problem because I have some pretty base preferences. I like my bologna fried, I like my beer domestic, and I like my poetry to rhyme. But about a few things such as real butter and dark chocolate I get a bit rabid. I enjoy crystal light as much as the next person but the idea of using it in a mixed drink just seemed wrong. Like serving orange Kool-aid instead of orange juice at a Sunday brunch. I explained this to ‘Christine’ and she saw the light. (No, I did not browbeat anyone)

The next day Jeannie and Kristine are at the grocery store and realized they had left the list at home and called me on the cell phone for the recipe. No problem. Except for the fact that Jeannie is listening to me and then repeating what I say to Kristine and back and forth. Naturally all three of us are talking at the same time but Jeannie is the only one who can hear everybody so we were sliding headfirst into slapstick.

And then it turns out the store doesn’t have any Watermelon Vodka. So I find another recipe named after a nipple.

Sweet Nipple

1 1/2 oz Razzmatazz liqueur
1 1/2 oz Red Passion liqueur
3 oz cranberry juice

Add all three ingredients to a shaker, shake over ice and serve into a rocks glass with 1-2 ice cubes.

Jeannie and Kristine have never heard of Razzmatazz and I’m giving Jeannie instructions on where it should be on the shelves and she is relaying this to Kristine.

The whole exchange would have been a lot more dignified if any of the three of us could remember a four item list for all of 10 seconds, but we are all in our 40’s and you know how that goes!

And because we didn’t have the sense to refer to the recipes we were discussing as Drink A, Drink B, etc, poor Jeannie is having to ask me if I’m reading the recipe for the pierced nipple or the pink nipple. In the grocery store aisle. Where I can hear other shoppers getting involved in the search. No watermelon vodka, no Razzmatazz. We didn’t even bother looking for Red Passion Liqueur. (My goodness; there are two U’s in liqueur – who knew?)

Sorry, I get distracted easily. So I can hear Jeanie and Kristine talking to the other shoppers about the pink nipples and the pierced nipples and the watermelon vodka and I’m just holding my breath waiting to hear the deep voice of the security guard breaking up their little party. Finally with much back and forth we agree on

The Perky Nipple

1 part vodka
1 part amaretto almond liqueur
8 parts pink lemonade

Pour all ingredients over ice.

Kristine was excited about this drink because she truly enjoys amaretto. They asked me what type of Pink Lemonade they should buy and I’m telling Jeannie to tell Kristine to buy the frozen concentrate – not the powder!!! But I’m trying to not be bossy about it. Then Jeannie asked about the Vodka. I suggested she buy whatever is cheapest. Someone else in the store is saying that you shouldn’t serve cheap vodka, and some guy is trying to impress Kristine with his superior vodka knowledge.

I have no idea what vodka they chose or whether it was any good or not. The punch was yummy! Just tart enough to be interesting (Like Jeannie) and yet smooth and sweet (like Kristine) and it went down easy (Hey – I don’t like where this is going at all!)

Oh, and for the sake of complete honesty ~ The Perky Nipple had some other name (cotton candy?) before we renamed it and made it our own.

Also – if you are looking for a pink pink pink drink, this ain't it. It’s sort of a pinkish amaretto color.

So I hope you try our drink and enjoy it.

There is one last nipple drink I will share.

The Real Slippery Nipple

10 ml grenadine syrup
1/2 oz Carolans® Irish cream
1/2 oz DeKuyper® Buttershots liqueur

Pour the Buttershots and Carolans into a shot glass. (let them mix)

Add grenadine to form a perfect nipple in the bottom of the shot glass.

Take as shooter, lick nipple from bottom of glass.

Serve in: Shot Glass

There’s that dignity thing again. This drink sounds good but the idea of trying to lick the bottom of a shot glass just seems embarrassing to me. Well, until my third shot and then I would probably try it. Which is one reason I don’t do shots.

Have a wonderful weekend!

PennyAnn

It was the BREAST Garage Sale in Chandler!!

Look! It's me, Jeannie! PennyAnn is sitting on my right side making sure I'm doing this whole "blog thing" correctly. Seems like I'm figuring it out. Now, the real challenge will be if I can do it again when our Logistics Lady is not here.

Thank you EVERYONE for helping out at the BREAST Garage Sale in Chandler. Not only did we meet our goal, we exceeded it! Our Team had high expectations of earning $1,200... Are you sitting down? We made $1,263.30!!! For all you "math people" out there...that's $210.55 for each teammate!

Jesssica, Tina, Jeannie, Kristine and one of our loyal fans taking a break (only because PennyAnn made us) for a photo.

Kristine had to find someone with a higher IQ to help her put together this desk! (You know I love ya!!)

Trivia Answer, Garage Sale Update, Wish Jeannie Luck

Happy Sunday!

The garage sale was going so well the team decided to go on another day. We will let you know how we did later tonight or tomorrow.

And how are we going to let you know??? Jeannie is going to make her first post! Go Jeannie!

One of the fun parts of a team effort like this is that we all learn new skills. Other benefits are learning new places to have 'planning meetings', discovering ideas that translate into our other endeavors, making new friends, and getting to palm off the parts of a project we don't like because someone else in the group does enjoy it. (I'll drive 60 miles into the boonies but I won't drive into downtown phoenix. I'll spend hours on the computer but I won't make a thirty second phone call.)

Of course it helps if your team is made up of nice people. Team H.O.P.E. is comprised of nice women and is without a doubt the funniest group participating in the Three Day Walk in Arizona. (Maybe the funniest in the nation but I don't want to brag)


Okay - you may remember the trivia question in our very first post?
And you have been dying to know the answer, right?

The Question was:

What do

Cop Cars

Israel Pilot

Pigeons

Sara Lee

Wonder Bra

World War 11

all have in common?

The answer is:

Before the Second World War broke out, elastic materials were rationed and unavailable for clothing.

An inventor named Israel Pilot designed an improved bra that allowed for greater shoulder strap elasticity by cutting the fabric so that the weave has the greatest stretch

He coined and trademarked the name "Wonder-Bra" in 1935, and received a US patent in 1941. (patent 2245413)

The name “wonderbra” was licensed in Canada in 1939 for the Lady Corset Company which was bought out by Consolidated Foods, which became Sara Lee.

The Wonderbra half-cup, push-up design was described in Europe as Pigeonnant, which is French for "pigeon-breasted". [Ain't that a sexy image?]

And finally, the original inventors of the mesh screens that separate the backseat from the front in police cars used the patent of Israeli Pilot in their own patent applications.

Just something to think about the next time you get dressed in the morning or do your monthly self-exam!

Have a wonderful and fulfilling day!

GARAGE SALE !

Join TEAM H.O.P.E.

this Saturday, April 26th

for our

Huge, spectacular, bargains galore garage sale!


North East of Warner and Dobson in Chandler

El Alba Way

Follow the signs!

They will be surprisingly pink!

Pictures From 411 Party

Yep, that's a cake. Five pounds of fondant on top of a chocolate cake with cherry chip and vanilla rum bosoms. Fondant tastes like plastic but the cake was good.

Wish we had more pics of the ladies but we don't like to invade our friends' privacy! Trust me, they were all smiling and laughing and dressed in pink. It was a magical night! And the money people tell me it was successful in that department as well. So thank you, thank you, thank you to everyone who attended, everyone who donated, and everyone who wished us well!

Welcome To TEAM H.O.P.E.

There are eight (or maybe nine) of us making this happen. Six of us are walking, one of us is our Team Photographer, and one of us is me ~ PennyAnn.

Our Team Captain, Jeannie, has named me head of Logistics. Basically I was asked to bake a cake and come up with a party game for the first fund raising party. Then I decided we needed buttons. Then I asked if we shouldn't oughta have tie dye t-shirts. One thing led to another and before you know it I was promoted. The volunteer world is so much easier to advance in than the real working world!

As the days and weeks roll on I'll be telling y'all more about us, and the other team members will be posting their thoughts and plans and accomplishments.

I met Jeannie and Kristine through the PTO and really got to know them through Cub Scouts. We have three sons each so the opportunity to do something so pink and so female is irresistible. Jeannie's mom is a Breast Cancer Survivor and Kristine's mom is a survivor of cancer of another nature. We'll start our first post with a quiz. I'll post the answers in a few days so be sure to check back often.

What do:

Cop Cars

Israel Pilot

Pigeons

Sara Lee

Wonder Bra

all have in common?

If you know the answer email us or post in the comments! I'm going to see if I can paste a picture in here and I'll be back in a day or two. Have a wonderful day.

Oh, that reminds me - Today is Earth Day. Aside of doing something positive for the environment I think we should all celebrate by singing Earth Girls Are Easy!

Have a wonderful day.
