Results, Poll #65, Valentime's Day Spend.


Wow, some cheap SOBs in the t.c readership. Or perhaps you spoil your boo all year round? Sure, that's it.
Here's what y'all chose:

> 2 people (25%) chose '$1-$10' - so, you got them a card? Did it at least play a song or recorded message? It did? Don't tell me you used your own voice to sing something, gross.
> 0 people (0%) chose '$11-$25' - C'mon, this is like some nice candy or some flowers. Really, no one?
> 0 people (0%) chose '$26-$50' - not even one?
> 1person (12%) chose '$51+ - seriously now, either I'm interested to know what made you fall in love so hard or what you did that made you think you needed this to make it up so bad? But either way, you're the big spender on t.c
> 1 person (12%) chose 'It's Valentine's Day - S&^%T!!' - Caught off guard again by Valentine's Day... it happens every year. Uhhh, it's called Outlook or Google Calendar, check it out. Could save you some unnecessary bruising. Yes, I know she hits you.
> 4 people (50%) chose '$0' - aww, so aweet. Not even some chalk-flavored hearts? Jesus, Mary and Joseph!
New poll about kissing up now. XOXOX

New meaning to the phrase, 'hairy palms'.

Now, I don't know if you all know, but it's really friggin' cold up here in the winter. It's not been too bad of late, but now that I've typed those words, I'm sure we'll get 12" of the fluffy white stuff and then it'll be below zero degrees Fmeright right up until the 4th of July.

However, I saw this in martinpatrick a week or so ago and couldn't help but click a pic.



They told me they'd sold out of previous stock and have had to reorder them on at least one occasion this winter. Who knew? They had different versions and this particular model is a grizzly bears paw, made into a glove for a human hand. Just kidding. It's actually faux fur on the outer side, leather on the palm side. I did not stick my hand in, but I'd bet it's soft. They were also stocking a rabbit version.


My only remaining question - I know it works for wild animals, but wouldn't my hands be warmer if the fur was on the inside?
But then I suppose no one could see my dedication to animals.

Cycle Chic from Copenhagen, a reminder.


[how cool is this shot!]

Don't forget that you can see tons of cool city shots from around the world, often with a cycling theme, at the Cycle Chic blog. I recommend it to cure skin irritations, work irritations, and personal irritations. Many of their pics make awesome screen savers and wallpapers, I kid you not (boy, I hope they don't mind people using 'em for that).

Nike SB Dunk Hi Premium “Cosby Sweater” QS


Did you know I have a BIG thing for "fresh kicks"? And I don't use that term often. Well, here's something interesting from Nike. I found this at NiceKicks.com, a great sneaker head blog. This is a shoe based on the ugly sweaters Bill Cosby wore on the TV show. I can't think of better inspiration for a shoe.
