Again, thanks to Zac for the link.
I think the best part is not the absurd notion that since we don’t find new life in our jars of Peter Pan that God must exist, it’s the fact that it starts off with a woman in a courtroom introducing the idea - as if the symbolism of the courtroom might just give it some credibility and sway those that were uncertain with the argument…
people are nuts… (click here if the video is not viewable)
So, for the second time in less than a year, someone has stolen our (well, mine - if you want to be exact) bank account information and made a bunch of charges. Now our bank says we’re too much of a risk and won’t issue us any more cards.
I guess they won’t be sad to lose our business…
I am so moving to Japan.

I have discovered an awesome new weapon against telemarketers - Lily. The past 3 calls I have handed over to Lily as soon as they start their spiel, occasionally taking back the phone and chiming in to keep it going as long as possible. I try to coach lily along. This last call, I was amazed. Whatever-her-name-was from some company interested in reducing our mortgage held on for nearly 3-4 minutes. From what I could hear, the conversation went something like this:
Woman: Hi, this is so-and-so from such-and-such lending….
Lily: Hi Mommy!!!
Woman: Hello?
Lily: I eat mac-anonis, hot dog, milk!
Woman: ???
Lily: I go poop (on the) potty!
Woman: Oh really? Sir, are you still there?
Me: Yes, I’m sorry.. my daughter took the phone.. please continue.
Woman: I’m interested in lowering your interest ra……
Lily: WHAT???
Woman: Hello, sir?
Lily: Mommy??
Me: I’m sorry again…
Woman: She sounds cute. We show that your current…
Lily: I play (with) my toys in (the) backyard. It not dark yet!
Woman: ???
Lily: Come play (with) me! Come on!
Woman: Sir, are you still there?
Lily: My daddy right here! Talka me!
Woman: Can I talk to your daddy?
Lily: My daddy, um, my daddy poop (on the) potty too!!
Me: Lily! don’t tell the woman I’m in the bathroom
Lily: What???
Woman: Sir, is this a bad time
Me: No, not at all - I can wipe and talk
Woman: I’m sorry, is this a joke?
Lily: [singing] twinkle twinkle little star how I wonder way up high
Woman: ???
Lily: I want some can-nee (candy)
I believe it was at this point that the line went dead.
I wonder if other people have tried to feed their cat cereal when they’re too lazy to run to the store, thinking, “well, it looks like cat food”… I poured some in her bowl and she came running, stuck her head in, and then looked at me and said “meeeaaaooow,” as if to say, “what the hell is this??”
I think it was the marshmallows that gave it away
