Since I already declared this the Year of the Osmonds, what better way to kick off the Herb of DC "Holidays 2007" than watch some Osmond on Osmond Brothers pairs figure skating?
I don't recall anything this elaborate or energetic in "High School Musical: The Christmas Pageant Show on Ice."

A Badge Encounter of the Bathroom Kind
Since it was that time of the morning when I needed to do some reverse fishing, I entered the men's room at work looking for an empty stall among the three provided. Usually I try to follow the unwritten "every other stall" rule but today there was someone in the center stall so I had to skip to my loo in the adjoining handicap stall.
Selecting the handicap stall is usually my preference anyway since being a big guy it provides more room around the toilet; allowing me to CTL ALT DEL my cache with less of a chance that a toe tapping senator with a wide stance will interrupt me dropping the Brown family off at the neighborhood pool.
Descending onto the launch pad I glanced around hoping not to see shoes or hands frantically waving secret and desperate signals under the stall divider. Instead I see a face--employee T***** A**** ID # 1*****staring up at me. I guess he had clipped his security badge to his belt and as his pants fell towards his ankles it caused his photo ID badge to dangle intrusively under the divider to stare up at me.
What should I do? Drop a piece of toilet paper and cover Employee ID # 1*****'s laminated smile? Hand my badge down to confront his badge and firmly say "No!" Leave and return later to see a man about a horse?
Feeling that I really needed to complete my test of the plumbing NOW, I finished my prairie doggin' before the fiber-challenged employee T***** A**** did and I cast my vote and left.
When I saw employee ID #1***** later in the hallway I had trouble making eye contact. Does he know? Does he know I know what his badge knows?

I Disappoint Google Daily!
Loving those spot-on Google searches! People use this new fangled thingy to garner information and as a result, strangers from around the world visit my blog. Based upon search details from my Sitemeter account, I think I am leaving many of them sorely disappointed.
1. Is Mike Rowe Mormon?
I don't know and why do you care? He's not running for President. However, I don't think I have ever seen him wearing Mormon underwear on "Dirty Jobs."
2. Washington DC porn stars
OK, I mean really. What an oxymoron!
3. People who are poo pot.
Marie Osmond stay off my blog!!!
4. Scholarships for brunettes
Huh?
5. Finding herb in DC
Something tells me I don't think you are looking for me.
6. Why do dogs lick their blankets?
Because it is covering their butts?
7. Picture of a duck killing a rat.
Sorry, this isn't a porn site.
8. Where can I race my street car?
Have you seen my car?
9. Fashion through the years
Have you seen me in person?
10. Ann Curry leather
Sorry, this isn't a porn site.
11. Miss Utah dress
Sorry, this isn't a porn site
11. Possum soup labels
Yes, I was raised in Southern Indiana/Western Kentucky and ate burgoo but we never labeled it. Or really asked what was in it.
12. Are Fisher-Paykel refrigerators quiet?
YES!!! I can help with this. My FP refrigerator is very quiet and has been quiet since it stopped working the week before Thanksgiving. The "expedited" part is now in and I am on the schedule for Friday December 7. ("Your repairman will call between 8 and 10 to let you know what time he will be there.")
