The Bizzare Ramblings of a Reckless Linguist

Yes, folks, it's that time of year again.  The day when "go green" takes on a meaning beyond environmental consciousness.  Therefore, I pass along to you the contents of the greeting card my dad presented me with this morning.  I must credit American Greetings of Cleveland, Ohio, as apparently they are the authors of the following.  So, without, further ado:

Top Ten Leprechaun Complaints

10.  They find a certain cereal to be neither magical nor delicious.
  9.  Even with the seat down, they keep falling into the toilet.
  8.  Santa's elves are always stealing their women.
  7.  It's hard to hold your whiskey when your built like a 4-year old.
  6.  After you've heard "Top o' the mornin'" a few thousand times, you'd kill for a plain old 
       "hello."
  5.  Pots o' gold aren't worth all that much after taxes.
  4.  It's not easy to outrun a riding mower.
  3.  Every time they wash their outfits the entire load of laundry turns green.
  2.  You try being cute and whimsical 24/7.

  And the number one Leprechaun complaint is...

  1.  Let's just say they've got the smallest "shillelaghs" you've ever seen!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Slightly belated birthday wishes to the delightful and newly monikered "dragonfly0303"! [Unknown LJ tag]

 Just a little something to bring a smile to the birthday girl's face.

Look your present is opening himself! 


Happy Birthday,

I've been watching it snow all morning.  There is, in fact, a small bit of accumulation along the streets and sidewalks, upon the parked cars, and in the yards.  It actually looks like winter.  Which is strange since my neck of the woods is  known more for tornadoes in February than snow.  It will, undoubtably, be but a memory by the afternoon.

Anyone interested in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull might want to check out Good Morning America tomorrow (02/14/08) for the debut of the trailer between 8:00 a.m. and 9:00 a.m.

Were you wondering when I was going to get around to featuring the gentleman in my default icon?  I was saving his ruggedly handsome, very sexy self for the grand finale.  I think the wait was worth it.  I'll be under the mistletoe.

And that's it, folks.  Tomorrow is Christmas Day and I'd like to wish everyone a

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

And if you don't celebrate the big day then I wish you peace and joy in the New Year! 

Even though Christian Bale may not have fond memories of Newsies, I certainly do because it's the movie that brought him to my avid attention and I've been smitten ever since.  I can't explain it.  The man just does it for me.   Let him do it for you too.

 He's smart with a biting wit, rough and ruthless, but sometimes, darn it,  his sense of honor and tenderness just bring you to your knees.  That's right - he's got edge.  Plus, he's awfully sexy.

Is it Day 9 already?  Sigh.  So many hot men, so little time.  However, I shan't linger on the negative when we have todays mistletoe pick to ogle.  What can I say?  He's a beautiful man.   Take a look-see.

The subject of today's mistletoe rendezvous is just plain hot.  Really.  He's got an accent, rugged good looks, a great smile and the body to go with it.  Feast your eyes.
