Guess What?!?!? Mine, too! Here's a sample of what was in my email today...



Uh huh.

That's a Towel Elephant.

And if you simply MUST have one at your house. Here are instructions to make one of your very own.

Now, you've gotta admit that instructions to make a Towel Elephant are a pretty unusual find. But I gots more...c'mon.


Did you hear that actor Dick Wilson died? At 91, the actor best known for portraying Mr. Whipple in over 500 television commercials (that may be the saddest thing I've ever written, btw), has passed away. While I can't deny his status as a pop-culture icon, it was odd to find notice of his passing in my email.

And while we're doing the pop-culture icon thing, here's a You Tube video that was sent to me...


An ad for this interesting organization...(which has actually been around for a very long time)


With the holidays approaching, I suppose it's timely that I received this article about Australian Santas and their country's own "war against Christmas".





Then, of course, there was this little piece of visual humor.

I know. I know.

Some of you are gonna say that's not fair.

And I'll agree.

As soon as I get done laughing.

I'll just say that I've worked with a great many construction guys in my life. Yeah, that's the only defense I've got.


Then, taking a more serious turn, there was this article about AT&T and the NSA. Our civil liberties being the only casualty of that relationship. Well, maybe not the only casualty...but likely the most obvious.

Other than some work stuff and various Viagra ads, that was about it. A very random Monday indeed...
