Topic: Ross may be really famous someday. He will surely lend his name and likeness to several consumer products. Show us one sponsorship Ross totally should not accept!
Topic: Post images that will scare Yod straight
e.g., did you find a marketing campaign that made you want to not buy a product you wanted to buy before seeing the marketing item? Did you see a sign (printed, or more esoterical) that obviously deters you from visiting the store - even if you need the product(s) they sell? How about, my favorite, some bad PowerPoint?
I might suggest a Holiday Trip to Ye' Ole WalMart/K-Mart/Whatever Mart. And, more specifically. to the toy section. *** Please make sure to do this on Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving. This will ensure that Yod will get the most benefit from the experience.
Also note that restraints may be necessary to secure the subject prior to initial exposure to treatment.
Magic power???
Yeah. That'll work.
His brain will be so fried from the sensory overload that his thoughts will become malleable and he'll be quite open to suggestion. Bend the subject to your desires: Want the dishes washed? The living room cleaned? The recycling done? This method has proven effective in 99.9% of the case studies conducted.
Topic: Take pictures of instruments and items that Warden Ebby could use to keep Yod in line during his yard time!
Phase One:
Warden Ebby should offer Prisoner Yod a generous handful of Dried Catnip Buds.
A little THC will help Warden Ebby keep control by putting Yod into a state of inexplicable bliss.
"Prisoner in the Yard: Ya' wanna crawl under the fence here?", asks the Warden, beguilingly lifting the hem of the fence. "Yeah. Sure. Whatever, man"", drools Yod as he lolls against the nearest tree.
Phase Two:
Warden Ebby should offer Prisoner Yod a generous bowl of fresh meat.
We all have heard about the munchies, that THC induced state of hunger...
After the steady diet of Eukanuba, Yod is likely to eat anything that doesn't come in a bag.
Phase Three:
Break out the yarn balls.
Still under the effects of the catnip buds, Yod will easily be intrigued and entertained by batting the yarn balls back and forth with Warden Ebby. "Hey, Ebby. Look how all the pretty shades of blue and brown swirl around. Cool..."
While he is in this dreamy, sleepy state, the Warden will be able to cocoon him by wrapping him in rounds of the yarn. He'll think he's just been knitted a very cozy sweater, when infact he will be completely encased and disarmed.
Phase Four:
Once he has a nap in his warm wrap of yarn, Yod might start to get a little anxious.
Warden Ebby should immediately offer him more of the catnip buds
and provide some intriguing entertainment withe the fuzzy-feathery Cat Yod-Fisher
In his intoxicated state this should provide several hours of Yod-torturing fun for the Warden.
Should the prisonser become increasingly anxious, or over stimulated, the Warden should not be afraid to offer more of the Catnip.
This can be offered and applied until the prisoner is lulled into a state of THC-induced coma-like sleep.
Following this method, as illustrated above, the Warden Ebby will be able to keep the prisoner riding the wave between consciousness and an absolute dream state for days at a time and he will be much less inclined to consider escape.
Fail Safe:
Should any of the above phases become over stimulating to the Prisoner Yod, or if the prisoner exhibits any unusual behavior, Warden Ebby should break out a copy of
Under the influence of the THC, Prisoner Yod will be drawn to the other-wordly visions provided by the stories in this collective. Brautigan is good for you after all and the prisoner may be enticed into reading the passages aloud.
Your thinking is way flawed, Dood. Too much time in the slammer will do that. Yeah. But you [seriously] need to rethink your position before you are plunged deeper into Karmic Debt.
Point One:
Since Jody is a mechanical engineer she will be able to confirm the fact that a proper key [or pick] is not possible to devise without knowing what kind of lock is on your kennel. -30,000 Karmic Points.
Point Two:
Angst-filled poetry is still whining and it is whining to the enth degree of petulance. -50,000 Karmic Points.
Point Three:
While I appreciate the plug and left handed compliment about my art, you must know that Soph has passed the bar exam in Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, and California and she will eat your frivolous lawsuits for lunch. Yeah. She's that intense.
*** Just look what she did to the bat.
And that was just punishment for tresspassing.
You're in a whole heap o' trouble, man. Give it up.
Topic: Practice safe cooking! Show us your favorite condiment!
Watch this sauce, kids. The absolute heat sneaks up on you and doesn't let go too easily. Using just a few drops in something a bit sweeter creates a winning combo. That's why I like the Mango Coconut Pepper Sauce from the Tropical Pepper Company. It balances perfectly with the csigi chili sauce and rounds out the flavors. This dynamic duo is perfectly complemented with a few sprigs of fresh cilantro (chopped) and can be used as a marinade, finishing, or dipping sauce. Use it on/in fish, chicken, or cheese dishes and you won't be disappointed.
So what about you...
Do you practice safe cooking?

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...

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?
