Entertainment Update: For the Rocky Horror fans!

We did one of the coolest things we've done in a long time last night and I *had* to tell you guys about it. Collin County Community College is currently staging a production of the Rocky Horror Puppet Show, which I'd never heard of before last nite but was morally obligated to check out. The back story is that someone at the college wanted to do a puppet show and Rocky Horror somehow got into the mix of possible subjects and finally won out. The college crew actually adapted the stage version of Rocky to include puppets, most of them life-sized, one larger than life-sized, and the larger puppets were operated from the catwalk above the stage like marionettes. They added an audience of famous puppets to the sides of the stage where you could see such puppets as Hitler, Jesus, Madonna, Gene Simmons, and Michael Jackson, to name a few. They also had a balcony where two puppets strangely reminiscent of Statler and Waldorf from the Muppet Show were doing some of the screamers. There was some puppetry adapted to the outfits of the live cast as well, which was strange but groovy at the same time. The cast was amazing, truly, and I thought I was gonna die because Frank is so amazingly uber-HOT. Honestly the whole cast is a bunch of college-aged eye candy and being the opportunist that I am, I enjoyed the whole parade of cuties prancing around the stage in their undies. ;-) For the Narrator role, they used a Bush-like person on video screens above the stage and the screamers were adapted from "This man has no neck" to "This man has no brain". LOL! They won't let you throw stuff, but they encourage people to dress up for the performance and screamers are encouraged. It was fun with that because the cast could actually wait til the laughing stopped so it didn't interrupt the performace. We dressed up and they gave us the student ticket rate so there was definitely benefit there! If anyone local to D/FW is a Rocky fan, this is a must see. I *highly* recommend it!!!

A Final Xmas post

Here's one more "Night Before" version that I couldn't help but steal from Da Jules. Y'all enjoy! Twas the night before the party When all through the town, No pigs were stirring, No cops were around. We drank segrams & smoked panama reds, While visions of the munchies danced through our heads. When all of a sudden came a knock at the door... We all yelled "Pigs!" & hit the floor. But what to our red glazed eyes did appear... A pound of columbian with 2 kegs of beer. The man at the door, he gave us a smile So we said, "Come on in man, You should party a while." But we heard him exclaim as he flew through the sky... MARIJUANA TO ALL & TO ALL A GREAT HIGH!!!

Wax Is Not Your Friend...

Ohmigawd, my Mom-person sent this one to me and I swear I actually did laugh out loud. I think I'll stick to shaving cuz this sounds really scary to me... ;-) All hair removal methods have tricked women with their promises of easy, painless removal - The epilady, scissors, razors, Nair and now...the wax. My night began as any other normal weeknight. Come home, fix dinner, play with the kids. I then had the thought that would ring painfully in my mind for the next few hours: "Maybe I should pull the waxing kit out of the medicine cabinet." So I headed to the site of my demise: the bathroom. It was one of those "cold wax" kits. No melting a clump of hot wax, you just rub the strips together in your hand, they get warm and you peel them apart and press them to your leg (or wherever else) and you pull the hair right off. No muss, no fuss. How hard can it be? I mean, I'm not a genius, but I am mechanically inclined enough to figure this out. So I pull one of the ...

Couple of Bra Jokes :)

Here's a couple of oldies but goodies. :) What Religion is Your Bra? A man walked into the ladies department of a Macy's, shyly walked up to the woman behind the counter and said, "I'd like to buy a bra for my wife. "What type of bra?" asked the clerk. "Type?" inquires the man, "There's more than one type?" "Look around," said the saleslady, as she showed a sea of bras in every shape, size, color and material imaginable. "Actually, even with all of this variety, there are really only four types of bras to choose from." Relieved, the man asked about the types. The saleslady replied: "There are the Catholic, the Salvation Army, the Presbyterian, and the Baptist types. Which one would you prefer?" Now totally befuddled, the man asked about the differences between them. The Saleslady responded, "It is all really quite simple...The Catholic type supports the masses. The Salvation Army type lifts the fallen...
