The Sisters have been super-duper crabby this week.  We had lots of complaints.  Lots of them.  Ava’s car was  in the shop, Amy had banner issues (don’t ask), and the BofNF is an endless source of frustration. We will say that we’ve debated the issue of children long and hard over the last several days and we decided they were a bad idea. There have been a whole host of other problems we don’t have time to get into here. Trust us, aint nobody got time for that.  But – here’s the funny stuff you do have time for:

1. Ben & Jerry is obviously God. Have you seen the new Ben & Jerry’s flavors? Oh sweet heaven. The concept is two complimentary flavors with a “core” down the middle of gloriousness. Our favorite flavor is Hazed and Confused – chocolate and hazelnut ice cream with fudge chips and a hazelnut fudge core that tastes like Nutella. Another one has chocolate and peanut butter ice cream with mini peanut butter cups and a peanut butter fudge core. We’re going right now to get some bigger pants. There’s nothing else to be done.

2. So a tiger walks into a bar… Seriously. A man in Illinois was charged with reckless conduct and possession of a dangerous animal when he walked into a bar with a tiger cub on a leash. It seems that he’s the owner of a ranch full of bears, wolves, and, apparently, tigers. There is some rumor that it bit someone. We don’t believe it. We have every reason to think that a leash trained tiger would behave itself in a bar. We’d also like you to note that all the charges were misdemeanors. Misdemeanors don’t even go on your permanent record.

3. Does it make us mean that we hope there’s a curse? A couple in California were walking their dog and stumbled upon 1,427 coins dating from 1847 – 1894. All uncirculated and in mint condition. Some of them are so rare they’re worth a million dollars a piece.  All in all, it is expected they’ll fetch over TEN MILLION DOLLARS. All of this in rusty cans buried under a tree in their yard. We helpfully pointed this out when we sent our children into our own back yards with shovels, but they complained anyway. Ungrateful.

4. Best movie review line EVER. This is the headline of the movie review for Son of God–“A Jesus story with a nod to gore.” That’s it. That’s all we have to say about this. It’s plenty.

5. Good for the girl friend. A moron from Florida – of course, Florida – had a spider tattooed to his face. Why? you ask. Why would someone do that? The answer is because he’s a moron. His girlfriend broke up with him over it. Brava! How many stories have you heard of stupid women who put up with this bullshit? Yea! mystery woman from Florida
