I assume you're referring to Christmas decorations

It's that time of year.

I'm sorry... Someone here please correct me if I am indeed wrong. After finishing up trimming the tree I met up with one of my best friends from Detroit. I told her that I spent my evening looking for silver and blue balls at the store and hung them from my tree. Maybe there is some confusion in our local regional dialect's but they are balls and not bulbs. There is a light bulb and a tulip bulb, but the things we hang on our trees are balls. You know, you don't want to do it with those glass/metal one's but the ones with styrofoam where you would go out with the whiffle ball bat and smack around into retirement. When we decorate our tree, we have our subsets of decorations... We have lights, ornaments, tinsel and the other stuff that wraps around and fucking balls.

anyone who calls them bulbs hates America

Would you hold this cuddly bug?

My sister has taken it upon herself to decorate my apartment. Scared to imagine what she may come up with.

I would just accept it. Girls know what's up with that.

Praying mantises can pinch but that's about it

This spricket thing is also harmless, but would I hold one? NOPE

Neither is as creepy as a hellgrammite.

Those are all "Christmas ornaments." I think it sounds silly saying "Hanging balls" or "hanging bulbs" or "hanging Christmas balls," but not "hanging Christmas ornaments."

That woman who "stole" toys from the Toys for Tots bin was actually a volunteer collecting donations. :-D

This has been my first experience with an artificial tree in very many years. With that being said, earlier today I noticed the tree was shedding. Is this some new concept to make the artificial tree experience so much more real and satisfying?

it's likely just poor quality

My daughter encountered a disembodied, bloody, rabbit head on her walk home from school today. My first thought was that we had a budding serial killer in the neighborhood, but apparently (according to my neighbor) hawks prey on rabbits, but cannot eat the head. So I'm going with that.

Fortunately this didn't freak out my daughter. Surprising, since she found the Polar Express too scary to watch tonight.

maybe she did it

by **phatj** » Wed Dec 04, 2013 23:12:26

She's a sly one

Coyotes are taking out the neighborhood cats in my parents' neighborhood. Good riddance to bad rubbish, I say.

by **TenuredVulture** » Wed Dec 04, 2013 23:40:23

Polar express is way creepier than a rabbit head.

sweet fight at the tree lighting tonight

Not if you're a guy mantis, of course. Jump to 1:56 for the best part.
