More Cold? Less Cold?

The week before Christmas it got cold here.  I snapped this picture of the Weather Channel widget I have on my computer.

Yes, it is claiming that the temperature is negative zero degrees Fahrenheit.  Is colder than regular zero?

If You Have To Ask, You Probably Are

Today we have another post from the ever-prolific Shu.

I wonder if they do this like play reviews in football. Announcer: "The referee is checking to see if the receiver has one foot or both feet in the grave. Here's the ruling." Referee: "Upon further review, the receiver maintained possession and had both feet in the grave. The official ruling...you are gone!" Announcer: "Tough break. On the bright side, he won't be charged with a time out."

I got myself a fancy new glass screen protector for my phone.  Here is the package. Click the picture to enbiggen.

There are a lot of features listed here:
 - Toughened GLASS
 - 9 H (hardness?)
 - Oleophobic coating
 - Anti-Scratching/Anti-Shattering
 - Explosion proof!!!

Hold on a second.  What's that say in the lower left?  "Please handle with care. FRAGILE"??? What the f.........

Breaking News From Captain Obvious

Field correspondent, Millersburger, snapped this excellent picture and sent it my way.

 - Water is wet

 - Bears frequently defecate in forested areas

We Welcome Our Squirrel Overlords

Today's post comes from Outlaw.  Click the picture to enbiggen.

It's a bit difficult to make out but, yes, that is a stalk of corn growing out of the gutter on the roof.  This is evidence that squirrels have become sentient and have taken up agriculture.  It won't be long before they get organized and overthrow humans.  Oh well, we had a good run.

Regular Gas...Plus Premium Hot Dogs

Not sure if this is a gas station that specializes in hot dogs or a hot dog stand that also sells gasoline. I'm guessing the latter, seeing that the hot dogs are premium and the gas is only regular.

Sting Could Move Some Dairy Products

Frankie and I went to Wisconsin recently and saw this in a store (of course it was).  Click the picture to enbiggen.

Set to the music of "Set Them Free":
If you love somebody, if you love someone,
If you love somebody, if you love someone get them cheese.
(Cheese, cheese, get them cheese.)
Get them cheese.
(Cheese, cheese, get them cheese.)

How To Get Your House TPed

I saw these at a major retail chain recently.  Click to enbiggen.

While I have to admit, it is fun to say "Trick-or-Treat Giveaway Fingers", that is not the reason kids go door-to-door on Halloween.  It's for candy.  And only candy.  Oh, sure, you could use these as decoration, but if you put these in a trick-or-treat bag, you're resigning yourself to getting out the garden hose on November 1st.

Strange Bedfellows

I saw this at an area gas station recently.  Click the picture to enbiggen.

I'm going to tread lightly here.  I think that charitable work is some of the most important work anyone can do.  If a company helps those in need, that is a good thing.  However, this is just such a juxtaposition that I had to include it here.  "Air, helping to feed starving children."

Make Any Room Smell Like The Boss

Regular contributor, ExplodyBones, snapped this picture and sent it my way.

A "Classic Denim" candle?  Is that even a scent?  When I asked what it smells like, I was told "It smells like Bruce Springsteen".  And now you know why it's on the clearance rack.
