Dear Zazzle:
I absolutely agree with this decision. Acorns that big and jittery, enrobed or not, should never be displayed in any public venue. That dastardly oak leaf should be ashamed of himself.
Too: The artistic nudity and the frolicing menage a trois is beyond despicable. I should be ashamed of myself for promoting, and further exploiting, such lewd and lascivious behavior among the local flora.
As for the bit about this artwork hurting your reputation... Curious that the tee was awarded a TBA. You might want to look into that.
Kindest and best regards,
Haze McElhenny

Topic: My Santa Saver account just matured! Take a picture of a store in your area that has gotten into the Christmas retail spirit much too early.
Oh - That's an easy one: CVS
This will probably seem like a cop-out entry to most of you but I didn't want to miss participating in today's iYod Hunt just because I can't make it down to the store. Fact is: I'm still recovering from surgery, my car is in the shop, and I can't drive the truck without causing myself some serious issues. So, rather than poop out on it, I will share this little bit of a story with you and hope that it's accepted though I do not expect it to win.
Some of you will remember my Halloween post where I dressed my husband up as a Hag. LSMS: The night before Halloween, my husband called on his way home from the office to tell me that he needed a costume because all of the employees were being encouraged to dress for the day and, as a principal of the agency, he didn't want to poo-poo any of the merriment.
When he arrived home I served dinner before we set out for the stores. I thought WalMart or Target might be good choices to find Halloween paraphenalia. WalMart's closer so we opted to go there first. On the way we stopped in our local CVS to see what sort of trickish treats might be on their shelves.
OMG - Please let me remind you that this was the night before Halloween. What little Halloween candy was left in stock was marked down 50%. The larger, more expensive items were put away and all that remained was a small section, maybe 3 foot wide at best, with a few of the usual pumpkin head goodie buckets, a bit of webbing, and some other miscellaneous sort of crap. Nothing good. I can't believe that they sold out of all of the masks and such that they had in stock. I just find it too hard to believe and I do, in fact, think that they stowed it away for next year in favor of installing the usual center aisles brimming with Christmas stuff. Stockings, lights, and several kinds of tchotchke, ornaments and decorations filled the shelves. Honestly, it was so bad that I was surprised they weren't queueing the usual Christmas music as we were exiting the store.
So what about you...
Who's setting up for Santa way too early?

Day 2 entries due by 11:59 EASTERN 11/3/07
Topic: Show us something from your house that was purchased for a specific purpose and never used for that purpose (or at all!).
This is traditionally used as a plant stand. I acquired it 2-3 years ago from a woman who was retiring, closing her flower shop, and selling the building. The base was missing and she said it had been for quite sometime.
Not being a horticulturalist, I took the piece, thinking it might use it for something someday. Well - The thing was sitting out in the garage, gathering dust, and my husband had to move it a few times. Once he placed it upside down it hit me: I'll turn it into a CANDLE-IER!!!
That day I sketched the idea out in my mind and figured out how to make it work and then I went to Michaels Arts and Crafts and picked up the fish bowls [12 of them in all], the votives to sit inside of the fish bowls, and fooled around with the ideas for wiring the bowls to the frame. Suspending it from the ceiling would not be an issue. If you look closely at the photo you can see the lengths of chain that I cut for the project.
Originally I thought to hang it in our bedroom, above our bed. But then I started feeling that it might be too much like the "Sword of Damocles". Thus, I decided that it would make a fabulous lighting fixture over the table on our patio. Now the patio does not have traditional walls. Privacy and a room-like feel are afforded by the back wall of our detached two car garage on the southern exposure. The walls to the west and north are formed by rows of ornamental evergreens. The easterly wall is open our back yard. I had no issue devising a suspension support that would extend from the garage but I did not, at that time, give any thought to the wind. This could be quite messy, and possibly dangerous, if it was forgotten and left to hang when a summer storm came up. Thus the project was set aside [for 2+ years].
So what about you...
What's hanging around your house just waiting to be put to work?

Topic: If you were trapped in your house for a long time and couldn't buy anything more, photograph the food item in your kitchen that would be the absolute LAST thing to be consumed before starvation set in.
Wow, Yod. Talk about treading very close to my latest nightmare. What happens if Hillary actually gets elected and life, as we know it, is forever changed? What if we are plunged into the darkest of ages? What if... Oh. No.
The other part of the nightmare is that we are completely screwed because I did not pay close enough attention to what was going on and did not study enough of the indigenous flora to know what was edible and nutritionally vital. Of course, it's all my fault. OMFG.
So back to the game...
If you were trapped in your house for a long time and couldn't buy anything more, photograph the food item in your kitchen that would be the absolute LAST thing to be consumed before starvation set in.
I'm keeping it in the here and now and utilizing the scant resources left in my pantry as well as the spoils of the late harvest garden to create this last meal of Friskies Fricassee. Please - Enjoy.
Mise en Place (shown left to right)
1 Tbsp Manuka Honey
2 cups Friskies Indoor Delights
1 small onion, diced
1 tomato, diced
1 sprig of Dulse
1 tsp black pepper corns, cracked
1 tsp salt
1 tsp crushed red pepper
1 Tbsp yellow curry powder
Method
Macerate Friskies in 1/2 cup water until just soft. If tap water is unavailable, use the filtered water from the makeshift cistern that you had the presence of mind to set up at the start of this catastrophe.
Reconstitute the Dulse by soaking in 1/4 cup water for a minute or so. Drain and set aside.
Bring Friskees and water to a simmer in a medium saucepan over medium heat. If the city gas and electric are unavailable use your camp stove. If you're out of fuel for the camp stove make fire the way Survivorman taught you and prop your kettle about 12 inches above the flame.
When Friskies begin to soften, stir in the curry powder, cracked pepper, salt, and crushed red pepper along with half of the diced onion, half of the diced tomato, and half of the Dulse.
Warm through.
Mound curried Friskies in the center of a serving plate.
Garnish with the remaining onion, tomato, and Dulse.
Drizzle with Manuka honey and serve immediately.
So what about you...
What's being plated for your last meal?
