There are Christmas in July sales, so why not Thanksgiving in June?  I am not sure if that will catch on, but I can cross my fingers.  Before you squeeze in to your bathing suit, why not have a really big, gut busting meal?

I have been snickering a little over this historical reenactment of the First Thanksgiving.  While you sit around the BBQ pit in your bikini, eating your turkey, tofurkey, or whatever else you eat, sit back and enjoy the show.   I am proud to present “The First Thanksgiving” from Blame Society Productions (The maker of Chad Vader). Dig in, everybody!

Okay, this was more pathetic than funny, but still it would be nice if you would rate me on Humor Blogs!

There are quite a few hoity toity companies on Twitter nowadays.  I have been following them and observing how the accounts are used differently than regular personal accounts. Marth Stewart has over half a million followers, but only follows 28 lucky people. The Ford Motor Company and VistaPrint Twitter pages seems to interact with their followers pretty frequently.

Now, I am on Twitter too.  I am aware that the clouds didn’t just part to make way for the flying pigs, but here (there) I am.  If you are looking for an adorable, tooth rotting bluebird in my sidebar, you won’t find one.  I have the more apropriate Dead Parrot. That about sums up this place. Just look in my left hand sidebar.  I meant right.  There is no left one.

Click on the picture of the perplexed John Cleese in my far sidebar to turn on to the SnackHound station. I placed a picture of it in this post so you will know what to look for.   Or don’t.   You probably are going to rush out and follow everyone else I mentioned, as they are far more interesting.   I wouldn’t blame you one iota.  Just enter my contest, then leave me my dignity and my chocolate pudding cake before you run away.

Wow!  That is the longest stretch I have gone not open the fridge.   Back awhile, I issued you all a missive to let the games begin with my onine refrigerator magnets. Days went by with no refrigerlaureats.   So, as I naturally do, I forgot about the whole thing.  Today, I wandered over there and found that a note had been waiting for me all along!  Someone HAD played with my magnets.   In fact…because my nose was nerdily always in an Arthur Conan Doyle or Agatha Christie book as a kid, my powers of deduction are well developed.  I suspect that because of the word choice and diction, the perp was either a LOLCat, LOLDog, or was at least a big fan of them.

Alas, the trail is cold, except for the timestamp and the location of the author.  Therefore, I have no idea if the message is indicative of the author or a copycat based on a prior message that I missed.  Silly me has not checked back and the note was left on the twenty-first of March.  I vow to check the fridge every day from now on.

Now it is your turn.   Travel to this page HERE. Pretend you are seven or ten years old again and you can’t resist…

In a week or so, I will show them all off like a proud aunt.

By greasy, I am not referring in any way to Mr. Travolta, nor Ms. Newton-John.  I apologize to their “people” for getting all excited about the free publicity for their clients.

I have absolutely no shame in admitting that I am a regularly reader** and sometimes commentor at The Junk Drawer, where Kathy has enough humility to share all of the misshaps and stupidity that life doles out to her.   Seldom do I take interior decorating advice from folks, but many moons ago, Kathy had an idea about how we can beautify our little virtual internet homes to make them more appealing.  Stubborn as I am, it only took me three months to implement the idea around here.  I assure you, it was somewhere in my mind the whole time, just like it took me three years to change the nobs on a side table when it started to bother me.

(**= Just a sidebar here: While I don’t feel any shame of guilt of stating my status as a JunkDrawer reader, I am not entirely sure that the shame and guilt-lessness goes both ways. So, Kathy, if you are out there, you can express your level shame of having ME as a reader unless you feel that your blog has now been outed as me liking it and something negative will happen.  I.E., someone will come over and start T.P.-ing the Archive section.  Now..back to the show…)

Now, you too can see TheSnackHound.com in BacoVision, just as you have seen many other sites on the internet.   Just go to http://bacolicio.us/ and you can see for yourself. I want to ask the makers of the site if they would ever consider doing a turkey bacon version for those of us who abstain from the complete bacon experience.

Soon, there will be a new addition at TheSnackHound.com. You will soon hear the pitter patter of little condiment tray feet.  Truth be told, wood and metal usually don’t make pitter patter noises, they make scraping noises I would imagine.  I bet you can hardly wait to see what that entails. Yes, TheSnackHound is expecting. Not the author of this chronicle, but the actual Snack Hound. No, not the real live dachshunds that assist with this writing.  They are both boys and both neutered. I mean the actual wooden, 1950s Snack Hound cracker tray is expecting a new addition.  So, the new cast member of The Snack Hound is being expected any day now.

You will just have to watch this website to see what happens.  By the way, the photo above is actually of the current Snack Hound, just the reverse side that you are not used to seeing.   In the graphics of this site, there are not two Snack Hounds, but one, just graphically altered to look like more.

I haven’t checked “The Fridge” in quite awhile. I decided to write a message just for all of my special readers to express the state of mind that I am in at this moment.

Today’s message:

Yes, I do admit that I am quite smitten with them.  In fact, I don’t want to even disclose my Thin Mints and Hoedown (called Tagalongs in other parts of the country) that I have consumed this season.  Of course, it may not be particularly healthy, but since I don’t freeze any for the rest of the year, I have another ten months to work it off.

Do you want to leave me a special message?  

1) Click Here to go to the Refrigerator.  (You can’t do it on the fridge above because that is just a screen shot.

2) Drag and drop the letters to create your own message.

3) Press “Save.”

4) Sometimes, it will ask if you want to leave your name and url. This often depends on what browser you are in.  Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t.  Oh well!

I will periodically check to see if any of you have left me a note.  Remember, this ain’t the boys or girls room in middle school, so be on your best behavior.  Or not.
