Do you know anyone who doesn't like cheese? I just know one such person. She's a total sack of crap. Cheese is the best, and so is Tumblr Cheese People. Let's check it out, shall we?

This one's for the LAY-DEEZ!

Buzzfeed has an amazing post about the best new Tumblrs of 2010! I had all these plans to have a hot night of falling asleep on the couch while watching Law & Order: SVU reruns, but now I'm just going to be reading hilarious Tumblrs for ages... and sharing the ones that really strike my fancy with you, of course! Some of our old faves like Holy Maury Mother of God, Hungover Owls, and Catalog Living are highlighted, but I'm discovering many new gems in this post as well! Strictly for my lady readers, here's Time of the Month Tiger. It's hit and miss, but when it's funny, it's really great:


That one really made me el-oh-el.

Huge news about people falling down!

Y'ALL. I can't believe I have neglected to share this with you for so long. We all thought we'd be waiting until summer for Wipeout to return, languishing in the cold months with no people falling down on national television AT ALL. I am so pleased to report that this is NOT THE CASE.



THANK YOU LORD! IT'S A CHRISTMAS MIRACLE!!!

A great deal on a hotel room

On Tuesday, Mama, Daddy, Goo and I were returning from lunch at one of our very favorite places, The Crown Restaurant in Indianola. Indianola is another small Delta town not too far from Greenwood, and is the birthplace of B.B. King. While heading out of town, I noticed that the sign at the Indianola Travel Inn, the type of motel that always boasts it has both air conditioning and HBO in its rooms, had lost a key letter. The sign read:

ENJOY FREE HO IN ROOM.

What a steal of a deal!

A quotable teacher

Being back in Mississippi has flooded Goo and me with memories of our youth, as it always does. Goo recalled earlier this week a marvelous saying from her 5th grade teacher, who was a staunchly religious woman. If anyone in class was heard taking the Lord's name in vain, the teacher would fix the offending party with a cold stare and say, "God won't help you, but he WILL strike you down!"

Let's all start saying that, yes?

Letters to Santa

Every year on Christmas Eve, my hometown newspaper publishes a charming little booklet called 'Letters to Santa,' in which local products of the public school system show off their reading and writing skills by composing missives to St. Nick detailing what they'd like for the holidays. The arrival of this publication is always greeted with great delight in my household. I'd like to share some of this year's highlights with you. These are reproduced exactly as they appear in the paper.
