Snow People Who Look Like America Are Mocking Me!

It appears that DC Snow People resemble more and more the 64% of Americans who are overweight. Maybe I am just being overly sensitive due to the 7 pounds I have already picked up this Holiday season but I feel as though these Snow People are mocking me.

This portly man with a carrot nose at 13th and T NW reminds me that vegetables are not just for body parts.

This snow person at 14th and V NW is bedecked with orange slices and olives--you know that stuff that just takes up space in your drink.



















This is what happens to lazy Snow Children (14th and V NW) who spend too much time reading blogs.

























Eventually those "fun" Hawaiian shirts have to come off revealing the extra high cankles. (14th St NW)






















Next: Does Santa really see you when you are sleeping? Isn't that kinda pervy?

Sue Ann Nivens "The Happy Homemaker" on Snow

"Isn't it simply beautiful out there? I mean snow always inspires such awe in me! Just consider one single snow flake alone, so delicate, so fragile so ethereal and yet let a billion of them come together through the majestic force of nature they can screw up a whole city." (Sue Ann Nivens the Happy Homemaker on "The Mary Tyler Moore Show.")

Okay, snow we've had enough fun for now--will you please go away? Some of us have only have about 24 hours left to start Christmas shopping before we leave for Indytucky.

Don't Panic BUT OMG SNOW IS ON ITS WAY!!!!

OMG 8-12" OF SNOW IS COMING TO DC!!! Begin emptying the grocery stores of milk, bread, and toilet paper NOW! Keep your TV constantly tuned to NBC 4 NOW! Ransack Blockbuster Video NOW! Immediately abandon your cars for the best spots on Beltway ramps NOW!

Maybe I counted wrong--blame my depression!

The YouTube Back Story--Holiday Edition

I often wonder what is truly going on when someone makes a video for YouTube.

On the surface this looks like a one-man Rockapella group singing "Santa Claus is Coming to Town."

Or...

Wife: I can't take another freakin' minute with these kids. I'm going Christmas shopping and you can watch Sponge Bob Squarepants over and over with them tonight.
Hubby: K
Wife: Feed them in the kitchen. I don't want to clean up a mess when I get home.
Hubby: K
Wife: And no beer!
Hubby: K
Wife: And no playing with the video camera!
Hubby: (Light Bulb!)
