I went looking at Christmas light displays with my friends Cliff and Norm last night. We came across this one on “Candy Cane Lane” in Pacific Grove. These folks were playing Elvis’ Blue Christmas and are obviously the coolest in the neighborhood.

The life-sized Elvis is spectacular. Have you ever seen anything like this?

There’s a new hairstyle craze sweeping the nation! It is called the Blago Do and it is definitely a hair don’t. Here I am sporting the cut inspired by Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich.

If you’ve got Photoshop, you can download the Blagojevich wig with a transparent background and see what you and your friends would look like with the Blago Do: blago_hair.psd

My friend Glen sent this to me today:

One sunny day in 2009

One sunny day in 2009 an old man approached the White
House from across Pennsylvania Avenue , where he’d been
sitting on a park bench.

He spoke to the U.S. Marine standing guard and said,

“I would like to go in and meet with President Bush.”

The Marine looked at the man and said, “Sir, Mr.

Bush is no longer president and no longer resides here.”

The old man said, “Okay” and walked away.

The following day, the same man approached the White

House and said to the same Marine, “I would like to go

in and meet with President Bush.”

The Marine again told the man, “Sir, as I said

yesterday, Mr. Bush is no longer president  and no longer

resides here.”

The man thanked him and, again, just walked away.

The third day, the same man approached the White House

and spoke to the very same U. S. Marine, saying “I

would like to go in and meet with President Bush.”

The Marine, understandably agitated at this point, looked

at the man and said, “Sir, this is the third day in a

row you have been here asking to speak to Mr. Bush.

I’ve told you already that Mr. Bush is no longer the

president and no longer resides here.  Don’t you

understand?”

The old man looked at the Marine and said, “Oh, I

understand.  I just love hearing it.”

The Marine snapped to attention, saluted, and said,

“See you tomorrow.” 

I love these “other name” games. This is the first time I’ve seen so many of them listed together.

5. SOAP OPERA NAME (middle name, city where you live): John Monterey
6. SUPERHERO NAME (2nd favorite color, favorite alcoholic drink, optionally add “THE” to the beginning): The Green Margarita

8. GANGSTA NAME (favorite ice cream flavor, favorite cookie): Coffee Toffee

It seems that Alan Colmes has had enough of Sean Hannity and is leaving Hannity & Colmes:

Alan Colmes leaves BFF Hannity
by: Pam Spaulding

Sean Hannity will have to look for another punching bag sparring partner for his Faux News show. (WaPo):

Alan Colmes of the network’s “Hannity & Colmes” said Monday that he’ll be leaving the prime-time show after 12 years. He’ll continue as a commentator on Fox programs, keep doing his radio show and is developing a weekend show at Fox.

“We have a Democratic House, Senate and president,” Colmes said in an interview. “My work is done.” No decision has been made on who will replace Colmes, or whether he will be replaced at all.

So if Hannity decides not to go solo, who should take the Colmes chair?

To answer Pam’s question, here are a few ideas as to who should replace Colmes:

How about Gary Coleman? He’s probably out of work right now. He’s just as irrelevant as Alan Colmes. Heck, he did run for governor of California!

Stephen Colbert could be a fun choice. He could keep his show on Comedy Central and do both. Perhaps he’d find Hannity to be a…formidable opponent.

This one has to be the best choice for Hannity — a puppet! In addition, Kermit is used to working with pigs.

I ran across these photos posted on a personals Web site (I’m not going to say which one). This young lady goes by the handle “Glock Fox” and this is a case where a picture says a thousand words.

How many of you straight guys are interested in this undeniably attractive woman? Do the gun and big scary knife turn you off? Is this some kind of fetish?

Anyway, straight people are obviously freaks. I’m sorry if that’s a bigoted statement. But, if straight people can judge me by guys who like to wear assless leather chaps, I can judge you by using guns and knives in your personal ads. 

Wow! This young lady really lucked out this year. She is a dead ringer for the “B” hoax woman, Ashley Todd. I hope she enters some costume contests.

Okay, that’s the last time I do one of these Blogthings quizzes!

I found this random photo while doing a Google search for something totally unrelated to cute shirtless guys. I swear. But, take a look at the older man in the background. The look on his face as he notices this guy’s buddy snapping a photo is priceless.

McCain announces new running mate!

Embattled vice pres­id­en­ti­al candidate Sarah Palin announced today thay she is with­draw­ing from the race in order to address personal family issues. This comes one day after an in­vest­ig­a­tion into the firing of a sub­or­d­in­ate resulted in Palin being found guilty of abusing her power as governor of Alaska.

Shortly after Palin’s an­n­oun­ce­ment, John McCain appeared on stage at a rally in Davenport, Iowa with his new running mate, current Miss Hotlanta Amanda Hug­ginkiss. Hug­ginkiss stood next to McCain wearing a tiara and ball gown and then addressed the startled crowd.

“Thank you U.S. Americans! I per­son­ally believe that I am able to be your next vice president and so forth because, uh, some people out there in our nation are ter­ror­ists, and, uh, I believe that ter­ror­ists like such as in Iraq and Iran and, uh, the Middle East ever­y­where like, such as those places and I believe that they should, the great John McCain can help the U.S., er, should help the world democracy and should help the Iraq and the other countries, so we will be able to build up our future for our children.”

Then, McCain took the mi­cro­phone away from Hug­ginkiss and asked, “She’s something? Heh? I real winner. Heh? Let’s hear it for Amanda Hug­ginkiss! Heh?”

If you want to see these guys do a really cool trick, click the link below and vote for Panchy:

Panchy needs a tech makeover because…

If Panchy wins, you’ll see them do something absolutely amazing! I swear to God. You won’t believe your eyes.

Come on. You know you can’t resist. All you have to do is vote — once. Aren’t you just dying to know what happens?

This is the “better-late-than-never” version of Bunnytude’s RCFMHD (Random Crap From My Hard Drive) Monday. To play along, post various random graphics from your hard drive on your blog and leave a link over at Bunnytude (not here).

Here’s a great article from a 1960s magazine. My favorite hairstyle is the “crew bop” — kinda looks like the way I wore it back in the ’80s.

Oh, my. Naked Ed Harris. I wonder how that got on my hard drive. Okay, I know how it got there. You don’t have to ask why.

Tina Fey as Sarah Palin. Imagine what it would be like if McCain’s V.P. choice instantly made you a few extra hundred thousand dollars. That’s what Tina Fey feels like.

Nothing was cooler than Annie Lennox in 1983 — NOTHING! She still is pretty awesome. I guess she had some health problems recently. It sucks getting old.

Anyway, these are my totally random images. I try to just pick them blindly from my downloads folder. Give it a try next week. I bet you’ve got some interesting graphics to share.

I suspect they ran short on Gs.

It is time for this Bunnytude’s RCFMHD Monday. This is where you post a series of random images from your hard drive and link back to Bunnytude. It is kind of like a virtual show-and-tell.

This vintage schoolroom photo cracks me up. Notice the kid in the center who is staring at the camera? He looks like someone who grew up to be a serial killer. He totally ruined a staged candid shot.

Remember Divine? I’m saving this one to make a custom Christmas card one of these years. I’m not sure when this was taken — sometime in the mid-1980s I suppose.

Here’s a funny photo of Robert Conrad with George Takei standing behind him. I’d give $20 to know what Takei was thinking.

Here’s another shot of Takei getting married in California this June (okay, not a random image, but I couldn’t resist). Don’t they look happy?

There a lots of Sarah Palin images on my hard drive right now. This one just cracks me up. It is some kind of Viking fur festival. White people scare me!

I know. This is sexist and disgusting. But, I bet you’ll see it on The Daily Show next week — at the very least Bill Maher.

Here’s everything you need to know about why John McCain chose Sarah Palin as his running mate — according to Funny or Die.

H/T Aberrant Clone.

I found this in my inbox today:

John McCain and Barack Obama are backstage getting haircuts and shaves before the first presidential debate.

As they sit there, each being worked on by a different barber, not a word is spoken.

As the barbers finish their shaves, the one who has McCain in his chair reaches for the after shave. McCain is quick to stop him saying, “No thanks, my wife Cindy will smell that and think I’ve been in a whorehouse.”

The second barber turns to Obama and asks, “How about you?”

Obama replies, “Go ahead, Michelle doesn’t know what the inside of a whorehouse smells like.”
