Stewie has vowed to defeat his mother's matriarchal tyranny and topple the "gynocracy" she rules.

Like Father Like Daughter

In an article on Yahoo.com News daughter of Steve Irwin, Bindi will be staring in her own TV Show.

Like father, like daughter. Bindi Irwin, the 8-year-old daughter of the late "Crocodile Hunter" Steve Irwin, will star in a wildlife series to air on the Discovery Kids network early next year. The show's working title: "Bindi, The Jungle Girl."

The show, now in the early stages of production, was originally "going to be a father-daughter thing," starring the nature-loving duo, Discovery publicist Annie Howell told the Associated Press on Monday. "Steve and Bindi were very enthusiastic about doing the show together."
Irwin will appear with Bindi in scenes filmed before his death, his manager, John Stainton, said in an interview on People magazine's Web site.

"Some people think that I would be afraid of them, but I'm never ever afraid of an animal," Bindi said in an interview Monday on ABC's "Australian Story."

"I just get excited and some that are dangerous I just think, `Oooh! What's going to happen?' and things like that."

Fried Coke?

Ok, Here's one for my husband. After a weekend at a local festivle where he tried a deep friend twinkie and a deep fried Snikers Bar I'm sure he would love to try this one if it ever was made around here. Maybe next year. LOL

Deep Fried Coke!!!!!!
The gooey Coke-battered nuggets topped with cola syrup won the "most creative" title at the Texas state fair in Dallas last month. Since then, the deep-fried phenomenon has spread to North Carolina and Arizona.

"We've been getting calls from everywhere since we introduced it," Elizabeth Martin, a spokeswoman for the North Carolina fair, told the Dallas Morning News. "Everyone wants to know where they can get it."

Fried treats are as big of a draw at state fairs as the rides and prize-winning farm animals. Twinkies, cookies and even pickles are stuck with a stick, dipped in batter and then seared in the deep fryer.

Fried Coke's inventor, concessionaire Abel Gonzales Jr., is a creative fryer whose experiments have proven popular. Last year he sold 20,000 fried peanut butter, jelly and banana sandwiches, the Morning News reported. Fried Coke looks to be an even bigger hit: he sold 16,000 cups of the sticky balls in the first two weeks of the fair, which runs through Oct. 22.
Gonzales has also had more success with changing his recipe than Coca Cola did. He reworked the recipe to make the dough less cakey and more spongy so it would soak up more of the cola syrup. Credit to Yahoo.com News

Are Diamonds a Wedding Cake's Best Friend?

An extravagant $20 million (10.7 million pounds) diamond-studded wedding cake, created by Mimi So Jewellers and cake designer Nahid La Patisserie Artistique, is the star attraction of the Luxury Brands Bridal Show and will be unveiled on exclusive Rodeo Drive.

"Where else would you debut a $20 million wedding cake but on Rodeo Drive?" said show organiser Ilona Sherman.

The cake is protected by a team of uniformed security guards at all times, she said. And there's no way it will ever be eaten.

"I think diamonds are too hard on the stomach," Sherman said. Credit to Yahoo.com News

Weddings are getting more expensive every year but this really takes the cake....no pun intended.

Ice Cream Has Gone To The Dogs

In a news report on Yahoo.com reportedly Good Humor Ice Cream Company and Pedigree Dog Food Company are joining together to create a frozen ice cream sandwich treat for man and woman's best friend.

There is already an ice cream out in most Wal-Mart and Meyers called Frosty Paws. At last glance these were in original and Peanut Butter flavored. My Poodle loves them and that is saying something because she can be quite the picky eater when she wants to be.

The companies plan to sell packages of 24 frozen treats for $3.99. It will be interesting to see if pet store chains such as PetSmart and Petco begin carrying these treats as well as local grocery stores. I for one hope they do because my puppy loves ice cream.

What will they think of next I wonder.

Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin killed

Steve Irwin, the hugely popular Australian television personality and environmentalist known as the "Crocodile Hunter," was killed Monday by a stingray during a diving expedition, police said. He was 44.


Irwin was filming an underwater documentary on the Great Barrier Reef in northeastern Queensland state when the accident occurred, Sydney's The Daily Telegraph newspaper reported on its Web site.

The Australian Broadcasting Corp. said Irwin was diving near Low Isles Reef near the resort town of Port Douglas, about 1,260 miles north of the state capital of Brisbane.

What A Tip

Two weeks ago in HUTCHINSON, Kansas a bartender at Applebee's got a $100 tip from one of her regular customers. This week the same bartender at the same Applebees got a $10,000 tip from the same man — for a $26 meal!!!! The man, whom company officials have declined to name, comes in several times a month and eats at the end of the bar. He has always tipped well, she said, usually leaving $15 on a $30 tab.

"He usually signs his ticket and flips it upside down," said Kienow, 35, who has worked at the restaurant for eight years. "But this time, he had it right-side up and said `I want you to know this is not a joke.'"

This would be a shocker to anyone!

Anita Blake Comic Update

It appears that dabel brothers production has pushed back the release of the new Anita Blake Vampire Hunter Comic Book, Guilty Pleasures up into October.

By all accounts the delay of the release is expected to be worth the wait and with dabel brothers expected to make a press release sometime soon hopefully all of us Anita Blake fans will discover the reason for the repeated delays of the comic.

Regardless of the reasoning you can bet that I will be ordering the comic when it is finally released. My order has been placed with my local comic store since July which was the original release date for the comic.

Pirates of the Caribbean Sets Records

Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest has set two records this, it's opening weekend. Pirates has earnd 132 million dolllars in its opening weekend. The previous record for opening weekend was 114.8 million set by "Spiderman" in May 2002.

Pirates was also the first moive to ever make more than 100 million dollars in two days. Pirates set the highest single-day gross in box office history with 55.5 million in earnings.

According to yahoo.com
"Star Wars: Episode III -- Revenge of the Sith" had previously held the record for the highest single-day earnings with 50 million dollars set in May 2005."

Pirates of the Carribean: Dead Man's Chest

Pirates of the Carribean: Dead Man' Chest is now in theaters and I'm sure many of you were like me and trucked to the movie theater yesterday in order to catch Pirate Fever and get your fix of Jack Sparrow and his wacky actions.

I laughed until I was nearly in tears at parts of the movie and although this movie is somewhat different than the first movie they are both completely amazing. Definate hints of Pirates 3 are evident toward the end of the movie. No I am not going to spoil the ending of the movie for those who have not been to see the movie and those who do not wish to know the ending until they can view it for themselves.

Here's hoping everyone enjoys Jack Sparrow and his band of misfits and pirates.

New Anita Blake Book

The newest Anita Blake Vampire Hunter book was released today. The most recent of Laurell K Hamilton's adictive series sounds like an interesting read. Here's what I've found on the internet about the book.

It was the middle of November. I was supposed to be out jogging, but instead I was sitting at my breakfast table talking about men, sex, werewolves, vampires, and that thing that most unmarried but sexually active women fear most...

Anita Blake needs to be concentrating on a dangerous situation: The ardeur, the sexual power that flows between Anita and Jean-Claude, Master Vampire of the City, and Richard, the volatile werewolf who loves her passionately, is reaching new levels, perhaps evolving into something altogether new. The ardeur seems to be choosing new lovers for Anita, acting with a will of its own. As Jean-Claude says, the ardeur is hunting powerful prey. The unexpected effect of this is that Jean-Claude's own power as a master vampire has grown to new levels -- and Richard, never predictable, is changing, too.

But as the days pass, Anita's less interested in vampire politics than in an ancient, ordinary dread she shares with women down the ages: She may be pregnant. And, if she is, whether the father is a vampire, a werewolf, or someone else entirely, she knows perfectly well that being a Federal Marshal known for raising the dead and being a vampire executioner is no way to bring up a baby...

Definately, I'll have to pick this one up.

Pirates of the Caribbean Premiere

One of my favorite movies was Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl so it would only seem natural that I would be excitedly looking forward to the opening of Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest on July 7th. Here are some pictures from the premiere of the movie in Disneyland.

WWE Smackdown! House Show

I attended WWE Smackdown last night and had a great time. Aside from some agrivating people who were seated behind me who kept mouthing off about their seat location and the fact that they were told that they coud not stand in the seats by security. They ended up being moved to seats that were farther away from where they started. The matches were good and everyone had a great time at the event. Here's a recap of the matche and their winners:

Matt defeated Ken Kennedy. That was one of my favorite matches of the night and I got some good pics of the match. I just hope they all turn out good.

The Great Khali defeated Tatanka. Paul London & Brian Kendrick defeated Jamie Noble & Kid Kash. Gregory Helms defeated Super Crazy. Vito wore a black and white dress with a black thong. I wish I hadn't been trying to take a picture at the point Simon Dean showed that to the crowd. lol Vito defeated Simon Dean. Batista teamed with Rey Mysterio against Mark Henry and Finley. The crowd went wild when Batista and Rey came out!!!!! Batisa and Rey were the winners of the match.

There was no pyro or titon tron at this event and it was basicly just the wrestler's entrance music that let you know who was coming to the ring. There was very little promo activity done in the ring and mostly just wrestling. Aside from the diva body contest which I never really paid any attention to. LOL

Anita Blake Comic UPDATE

For all those who are eagerly awaiting the release of the new Anita Blake Vampire Hunter Comic book Guilty Pleasures the Release date has been set for JULY 26, 2006.

There will be two collectors covers and one regular cover for the first release of the comics. Concept art can be viewed at the Dabel Brothers website and also at Laurel K Hamilton's website on her message board.

Here's hoping everyone has a great day and enjoys the comic once we are able to get it. LOL

Various Comments

What a week!!!! My internet has been going in and out for the last two days and it has really agrivated me. Now the phone company won't be out to look at it until Friday. Oh well.

June 22nd. My 4 year wedding anniversary! Hard to believe that four years ago I was stressing over what my crazy friends were going to do at my wedding. LOL Yep you guessed it...my best friend, my maid of honor, was pregnant and threatened to have her baby at the wedding and the best man showed up with a green beard. No I'm not lying. LOL Those two were crazy.

Sunday, June 25th I'll be attending a WWE Smackdown show. I hope they don't change the line up very much more. Over half of the matches that were scheduled for there have already been changed or cancled or something.

Here's hoping everyone enjoyed the first day of summer!!!!

Irony

In Amarillo, Texas irony comes to the front in a recent billboard. It reads: "Congratulations! Caitlin Cambell for making Amarillo proud." The billboard was put up as a congratulations for Caitlin's 8th place finish in the national spelling bee, however the company mispelled her name on the billboard. The spelling of her name is Caitlin Campbell.

Caitlin, 14, made it to the ninth round of the first prime-time network broadcast of the Scripps National Spelling Bee earlier this month in Washington. She left the competition when she misspelled the word collyrium, a term for eye lotion.

Cat chases Black Bear up a Tree

A black bear picked the wrong yard for a jaunt, running into a territorial tabby who ran the furry beast up a tree — twice.

Jack, a 15-pound orange and white cat, keeps a close vigil on his property, often chasing small animals, but his owners and neighbors say his latest escapade was surprising.

After about 15 minutes, the bear descended and tried to run away, but Jack chased it up another tree.
The owners feared for the cat, then called Jack home and the bear scurried back to the woods.

"He doesn't want anybody in his yard," Dickey said.
Bear sightings are not unusual in West Milford, which experts consider one of the state's most bear-populated areas.
