More Living Social Goodness

Groupon may be the reigning king of the daily deal but Living Social is shaping up to be the in-bred hillbilly cousin with a learning disability.  Here is my latest LS find courtesy of my lovely wife who subscribes so that I don’t have to – Shotguns, Booze, and BBQ. Suck it Groupon!

Booze, Shotguns, BBQ with Living Social

Luckily, the beer tastin’ is after the shootin’, so they say. This deal is from Aviator Brewing which is a few blocks from my home. Still waiting for the drinkin’ and flyin’ coupon.

The News, in So Many Words

If you haven’t been to wordle to make fun word clouds of sites and feeds, go now. I was bored and thought I would do a quick comparison of “news” feeds to see what craziness was revealed. These are Sunday’s Latest News feeds from Huffington Post, FoxNews, and CNN. I’m not sure what this really says about the individual news outlets, other than I am probably not missing much by getting my news from Twitter and The Daily Show. It is interesting that Bush is mentioned in Huffpo and Obama is mentioned at Fox while CNN seems to love Sunday.

  2. I’m Pro-Choice
  3. I’m an Atheist

 

 

Tasteless Items Found While Xmas Shopping

Here are some truly tasteless items I came across at the Dollar Tree this weekend.

I think the packaging says it all:

emmm, chocalate cross

emmm, chocolate faith

And, of course you need edible praying hands to go with your chocolate cross:

I Pray for More Chocolate

I Pray for More Chocolate

I looked all all over for a chocolate Jesus but apparently eating your actual savior would be too tacky.

A few weekends ago I came across this disturbing stock photo in a picture frame at Kirklands:

The resemblance to the real McVeigh is frightening. Hard to believe that this would be the photo that was chosen to be displayed in who knows how many picture frames across the country. Although I have to admit they make a cute couple.

Here is the real deal for comparison:
