Cowboys Uniform Modifications
I’m not sure when the modifications occurred, but you can certainly see a difference in uniforms over the last decade or so. I prefer the old uniform with the darker blue, striped socks, and grayish pants.  I think the newer uniforms looks like a cheap knockoff you would find on a street corner. I bet this is the reason why we haven’t won a playoff game in so long – the uniforms. Not bad coaching or draft picks or free agency signings, but the change in uniform. Yeah, that’s it . . .

Family angry that supermarket won’t personalize cake for their son
JoyceLynn Aryan Nation Campbell, Honszlynn Hinler Jeannie Campbell and Adolf Hitler Campbell.
Good names for a trio of toddlers? Heath and Deborah Campbell think so. The Holland Township couple has picked those names and the oldest child, Adolf Hitler Campbell, turns 3 today.
This has given rise to a problem, because the ShopRite supermarket in Greenwich Township has refused to make a cake for young Adolf’s birthday.
“We believe the request … to inscribe a birthday wish to Adolf Hitler is inappropriate,” said Karen Meleta, a ShopRite spokeswoman.
The Campbells turned down the market’s offer to make a cake with enough room for them to write their own inscription and can’t understand what all of the fuss is about.

One Dollar Diet Project
Another interesting blog:
Two Social Justice teachers have decided to start eating on one dollar a day.
And here’s an article about them:
ENCINITAS — “Most of the world eats on less than a dollar a day,†Christopher Greenslate said, spearing single grains of Spanish rice on his fork. “And we thought, why couldn’t we do the same?â€
Next to him, Kerri Leonard nodded. “It didn’t start as a big statement — it began as a way to save money,†she said. After a particularly expensive month this summer, they agreed that the magnitude of their food expenditures was ridiculous. Eventually the question arrived: Why not eat on $1 a day? So they did. Starting Sept. 1 and ending Sept. 30, they limited themselves to a $1 a day allowance for food.

Toilet Roll Puzzle
Tired of being the butt of a joke? Well now you can get your own back. Just install the Don’t Pee Me Off over the toilet roll and any unsuspecting victim will find themselves a bit flummoxed when it comes to wiping.
To gain access to the toliet paper you’ll have to work out how to undo the puzzle first.

China’s pyjamas police fight Shanghai’s daytime love of nightwear
The neighbourhood committee – a volunteer outpost of the Communist Party – in the city’s north-eastern district of Rixin has decided that wearing pyjamas in the street should be discouraged.
“We’re telling people not to wear pyjamas in the street because it looks very uncivilised,” Guo Xilin, a local official, was quoted in local media as saying.
In contrast to their leaders’ formal appearance at official functions, China boasts some of the most laid-back dressers in the world.
Partly as a result of living at close quarters in city alleyways, especially since Chairman Mao flooded the rich suburbs with the rural poor, privacy is at a premium and inhibitions are loosened.

Bag of Randomness
- Even thought I didn’t do my Christmas Card Experiment this year, a few of you were nice enough to still send me a Christmas card. One is particular brought a smile to my face as it said, “Keep on bagging . . .”
- Maybe I should bring it back next year. I guess I didn’t do it this year because I have a bit of a grinch attitude as of right now. In past years, I kind of felt like I was giving the perception of beggin my readers to send them to me, and that didn’t set well with me.
- There is one thing I do like about this time of year, and that’s seeing NFL cheerleaders wear those Santa outfits.
- I was only able to watch a portion of ESPN’s special on the Greatest Game Ever Played. I thought they did a great job with it, and really like how they paired up current coaches and players with the guys that played in that game. For instance, one of the current players asked the old timer about the goal post being on the goalline. It turns out many tried to use it to there advantage, and if the ball was on the one, then the kicker wouldn’t be able to kick a field goal. Too bad Johnny U died a few years back and couldn’t have been part of it, but I was surprised that Peyton Manning wasn’t on the special.
- While watching that special, it was also interesting seeing how the players never celebrated anything. For instance, on the game winning play, after Unitas handed the ball off to Ameche who scores to win the championship in overtime, you see Unitas walk away with his head down and arms to his side.
- John Tesh will be performing at the North Texas Baptidome, also known as Prestonwood Baptist Church in Plano. Link
- My alma mater received a bunch of old Bibles as a gift. Link I would give them a gift, but I’m still too busy making student loan payments.
- For fans of the Benny Hill music, just enter a YouTube video ID (the stuff that comes after “v=”) and the YouTube video will play the tune. Link
- Here’s an example. Link
- Hope that gave you a good laugh.
- When cooking, I think I use more Pam than what I should.
- Because she dances, she’s going to Hell. Link
- Michael Jackson is turning into Zorro. Link
- Most corrupt states interactive chart. Link
- I watched some of the White Rock Marathon coverage and heard one of the correspondents refer to a certain area of Dallas as “The Dolly Partons.” WifeGeeding and I had to rewind the Tivo just to make sure we heard that correctly.
- 5 memorable TV characters that never appeared. Link
- I think today’s posts are kinda week. I had a lot of trouble finding stuff.
- Christian words being left out of U.K. children’s dictionary. Link
- Here’s an eight minute video on how the Obama logo was created. It was interesting to see the failed comcepts.
- I’ve been on a pecan kick as of late.
- For my fellow fans of NBC’s sitcom The Office, here’s Princess Unicorn.
- I’ve worked the last two Saturdays, I’m looking forward to some vacation time around Christmas.
- The Survivor finale and the Cowboys game made for some tough TV watching. I didn’t want to Tivo Survivor and watch the next day, because I know one way or another I would find out who won, so I decided to watch it live and watch the Cowboys game on the laptop. I really enjoyed watching in my laptop as NBC allows you to watch more than one camera at one time and at different angles.
