Plane Tragedy



This tragic crash just got even worse...

Georgia Girl Struck By Plane On Florida Beach Dies

It's too soon to place blame, but I'd like to hear the pilot's side of the incident and how he wasn't able to avoid those people on the beach.

New Wonder



I wasn't around during WWII, so to me, the iconic image of Wonder Woman is Lynda Carter. A new one (above) has been recently introduced at Comic-Con.

Our First Glimpse Of Batman V. Superman Includes The New Wonder Woman

My daughter J. and I have discussed this new Wonder Woman and my daughter doesn't think she's buff enough when compared to the Batman and Superman characters.

I think she's at least as buff as Lynda Carter was, but my problem is that she looks like Xena the Warrior Princess. Since when did Wonder Woman carry a sword?

Not that I recall.

My daughter suggested that while they were ripping off the Xena costume, they should've given her a chakram to throw.

I agree.

Chime in if you know the franchises and have an opinion.

Update: Below is Xena the Warrior Princess.

Costume Anyone?



Seriously, I'm not happy with my costume. It sucks and I'm not talking vampires.

I Know Where Your Cat Lives



Florida State University professor, Owen Mundy, knows where you are because of where your cat lives...

I Know Where Your Cat Lives

I noticed no cat pictures in the map in Florida, so I'm not on Professor Mundy's radar.

*whew*

I am banned in China, so I'm happy about that.

It's Crying Time



It's time to 'fess up...

What movies made you cry?

I'll tell you, if you'll tell me.

Chikungunya!



It's Here: First Local Chikungunya Cases in Florida

It brings horrible pain, as though your bones are being crushed, but at least it doesn't kill you.

You only wish you were dead.

Cat Blog Friday



For this Cat Blog Friday...

... a very macabre cat sighting... Orvillecopter? Orvilledrone?

Cats Away! Artist Turns His Dead Pet Into A Flying Helicopter

WTF?

Can you say shameless self-promotion?

*sigh*

Have a happy Friday despite all the sickos in the world.

Florida Sign



Florida Road Construction Sign Hacked To Show Vulgar Message

Why am I not surprised that this happened in my county?

*forehead smack*

Florida is one crazy place to live.

*sigh*

Cautionary Tale



Man Dies In Custer Hot Dog Eating Contest

This is so sad. I can't help thinking that the Heimlich Maneuver would've been more effective in this case than CPR.

No Win For You



Study: World Cup Teams That Forbade Players From Sex Didn’t Advance Past Round of 16

I always thought this notion was ridiculous. I think people do better at anything when they're happy.

OK, I'll drop the subject now.

Independence Day



I know it's Friday, but it feels like a weekend day. My husband went golfing early, so I got to sleep in, something I don't often do. My girls will be around and there will be some fine meat to be grilled later on in the day and some celebratory fireworks.

On our nation's birthday, I want to thank those courageous men and women dedicated to preserving the freedom we enjoy everyday.

Happy Independence Day!

Oldsmobilius Prime?



Man builds a 23-foot high transformer out of an old Oldsmobile Alero.

What will the Homeowners Association say about that?

Diamond Dog



I'm not making this up...

Diamond Dog Returns Wedding Ring

I have my own wedding ring story, but this one takes the cake, don't you think?
