Black, White and Dumb all Over

I have a cool black & white card later in the post, but I have to get something off my chest.

I swear sometimes that the universe is punking me. Deliberately putting things in front of me that CRY OUT for ridicule! I don't know what else would explain some things like what I am about to show you.

The cats have destroyed my old curling iron by chewing through the cord until it's just a sea of frayed copper wires sticking out. It just didn't seem safe.

So I left it in Anaheim and got a new one. Pretty sassy - temperature control (360 seems hot, no?) a cool sleeve for when you need to stick it in your suitcase hot (which I do all the time), some imaginary technology that is supposed to make you all fluffy and pretty...

So my question is, who is the moron who thought you were supposed to curl your EYELASHES with this thing, burned their eyes off and then sued Conair, resulting in this??

Wait - is it saying that ancient Egyptians shouldn't use this? Look at that eye - that's a hieroglyphic! OH - now I get it - Egyptians invented all these stupid warning tags!!!! I always wondered why they didn't use letters - they anticipated how dumb we would all become by the advent of the curling iron. This one probably means - hey ding dong - don't eat the silica gel. It's a dessicant. We live in the desert. I'm pretty sure you were adopted.


On the other side, this "omg i'm so glad you told me" warning. Clearly, this scary doll head kid already curled his eyelashes because his eyes are gone. But really? Is this hideous graphic necessary? In the old days, when little doll head kid grabbed something hot, we used to call that learnin'. I'm just saying...

All that being said, I thought the sentiment from Fifth Avenue Florals was a perfect ending to this Superbowl Sunday post. I could not be more excited that we finally have B&W DSP. This is from the Rockabilly pack. I just stamped the big flower in black and then used the fine point of my SU marker to add cross hatches. This flower offers a lot of "pimp-a-bility" IMHO.
For the last two years, the Bud commercials at the superbowl have made me all teary eyed. I loved that one with the baby horse that wanted to pull the wagon. Ohh - it kills me. I hope there's one like that this year. I think the quality of commercials has declined a bit in recent years so I'm hoping they will make a roaring recession comeback and make me laugh or give me the chills.

Here's a video of one that I just love. (If you're looking at this in reader, you might have to click to the blog to see this video) The best ones aren't about beer, or football. They're just about us. I hope you have a fun Sunday.
