I was not aware . . .
That there are plenty of mens clothes at the Oprah store.
If you are a woman that just can’t break up with your boyfriend, buying one of these Harpo Studio shirts just might do the trick. But then again, it would make a great gag gift.
And if you are a mother of a newborn, you can annoy your husband by dressing your child (especially a boy) up in Oprah baby gear complete with the O logo.
Oh, and if I ever come home and DogGeeding is dressed in one of these, WifeGeeding will have some explaining to do.

1984 USSR Bunker Theme Park
25 kilometres away from Vilnius, 5 meters below the ground, and you find yourself in the USSR. Here you can avail of the opportunity to be transferred to the past and become a citizen of a totalitarian state. Upon arrival you will be met by guards with dogs. Having waved goodbye to your belongings, currency, cameras and mobile phones, you will put on a Soviet threadbare coat and dive into the life of a USSR citizen, full of tension and social peculiarities. You’ll be taken to the maze, watch TV shows and shops of 1984, be interrogated in a KGB office, learn the anthem of the USSR and get used to wearing a gas mask. You’ll dance to the music of those times and will make a Soviet dinner yourself. Leaving the bunker you will receive a special certificate and a unique present from the Soviet times.

Liberty Counsel’s Naughty & Nice List
In this pdf you will find that the Naughty stores say things like “Happy Holidays” and that the Nice list contain stores that say “Merry Christmas. This is the 2008 version.
It appears that two wholesale stores are at opposing ends, and maybe a little out of date.
لاCostco – Web site does not appear to celebrate Christmas. References to “Christmas†are for the items named by the manufacturer.
√Sam’s Club ~ Web site: “Gifts 2007,†“Trim a Christmas Tree,†“Christmas†items.

British News: Double-Decker Graves
The British Government has come up with a two-tiered plan to solve the problem of overcrowded cemeteries. The Times has reported that after 2009, city councils will be permitted to dig up graves and rebury coffins deeper to make space for a second burial on top.
Only abandoned graves dating back more than 100 years would be considered for reburial under the new plan, and graves would be reused only if there were no objections, religious or otherwise, from family members.
Regarding the headstone, a second inscription would be added to the original but, in cases where the existing headstone is damaged, only the newer inhabitant would be recorded.

Vicktory Dogs Wine Collection
SALT LAKE CITY — Georgia, Handsome Dan, Curly and other pit bulls rescued from Michael Vick’s dogfighting operation are getting a shot at fame as stars of a line of boutique red wines.
The Vicktory Dogs Wine Collection features colorful portraits of 22 dogs confiscated from Vick’s Bad Newz Kennels that now live at Best Friends Animal Sanctuary in southern Utah.
“As a signature collection, it’s through the roof,†said Matt Hahn, co-owner of Carivintas Winery, a Southern California company that combines wine selling and philanthropy.
Each bottle includes a portrait of one of the dogs on the label. On the back, instead of a description of the wine, there’s a brief story about each four-legged friend.

Bag of Randomness
- This the the 11,223 post on BON per my admin panel. There have been more, but I deleted some over the years for various reasons. It appears that the president’s weekly radio address will start airing on YouTube. Link
- If you are interested in following the California fires, this is a pretty interesting site. It’s full of maps and live video feeds, and sometimes you can hear some of the conversations that go on behind the scenes, and sometimes there’s nothing but silence. [Thanks, CNC!]
- It was just a weird Saturday all around, but here are two items of note. I have a color laserjet printer, and those toner cartridges can cost close to $90 each, and I need four of them. In an effort to save money, I checked out one of those ink/toner refilling places. I walk into the store with the empty ink cartridges in a bag and find that no one is at the front desk, and after about a minute the owner (as indicated by his name tag) walk out and said, “Yeah.” I told that I was a first time customer and have empty cartridges with me and referenced my printer model. His replay, “So what do you want.” I then explained to him in a somewhat ticked off tone that as a customer, I would like to know my options. Turns out they don’t refill your cartridges, you simply exchange them. I probably didn’t tell the story as well as I would have liked, it was one of those you had to be there kind of moments, but it was so surreal that I thought I was on one of those hidden camera shows. But in the end I got my cartridges for $55 a piece and left on good terms with the owner.
- The second weird thing that happened at Jason’s Deli. I was eating there with a lot of friends in there was this young couple that sat in a booth, but both had to sit on the same side. That always annoys me, but after their dinner all they did was make out . . . like big time, and like for a very long time. Once again I thought I was on one of those hidden camera shows.
- Oh, and when I got in my car on Saturday the odometer read 66666.
- Anti-fur lady dumped an entire bag of flour on Lindsay Lohan. Link
- I thought this was an odd interview with Karl Rove.
- I heard Wanda Sykes is gay, I had no idea.
- Bad weather football games are fun to watch.
- Ties in the NFL are just weird.
- While watching the Arizona vs Seattle game I saw someone in the stands wearing a Cleveland Browns jersey.
- The new Pink song gets easily stuck in my wife’s head.
- While watching the Cowboys yesterday, Tony Romo wore a hat that WifeGeeding and I debated about. Basically, we were trying to figure out if it was a newsboy cap or a flat cap.
- I think it would be fun to jump from a waterfall. Video
