This is a Haggars clothing advert that should be required viewing for men with daughters. It looks a great deal less messy than quicklime…

As some of you may recall, William Shatner is well know for his…er…takes on popular songs. This time he turns his genius towards political speeches. …And it’s frickin’ awesome! Mr. Shatner (and Mr. O’Brien, whose idea it was) you are both made of win.

In this classic bit of comedy from The Kids in the Hall, Mr. Tisane is made to ask for his tea very forcefully. Interesting, since his tea choice is caffeine free.

(A Hit Tip to Eideann for sending us this bit of silliness that she found roaming around the Internet. So…Are you Martha or Maxine?)

Are you Martha or Maxine?

* Stuff a miniature marshmallow in the bottom of an ice cream cone to prevent ice cream drips.

* Just suck the ice cream out of the bottom of the cone, for Pete’s sake! You are probably lying on the couch with your feet up eating it, anyway!

* To keep potatoes from budding, place an apple in the bag with the potatoes.

* Buy Hungry Jack mashed potato mix. Keeps in the pantry for up to a year.

* When a cake recipe calls for flouring the baking pan, use a bit of the dry cake mix instead and there won’t be any white mess on the outside of the cake.

* Go to the bakery! Hell, they’ll even decorate it for you!

* If you accidentally over-salt a dish while it’s still cooking, drop in a peeled potato and it will absorb the excess salt for an instant ‘fix-me-up.’

* If you over-salt a dish while you are cooking, that’s too bad. Please recite with me the real woman’s motto: ‘I made it, you will eat it and I don’t care how bad it tastes!’

* Wrap celery in aluminum foil when putting in the refrigerator and it will keep for weeks.

* Celery? Never heard of it!

* Brush some beaten egg white over pie crust before baking to yield a beautiful glossy finish.

* The Mrs. Smith frozen pie directions do not include brushing egg whites over the crust, so I don’t.

* Cure for headaches: take a lime, cut it in half and rub it on your forehead. The throbbing will go away.

* Take a lime, mix it with tequila, chill and drink! All your pains go away!

* If you have a problem opening jars, try using latex dish washing gloves. They give a non-slip grip that makes opening jars easy.

* Go ask that very cute neighbor if he can open it for you.

* Don’t throw out all that leftover wine. Freeze into ice cubes for future use in casseroles and sauces.

* Leftover wine??????????? HELLO!!!!!!!

With thanks to Peter for sending us the link, Today we are offering a commercial for a beer company in New Zealand. Please note that the voiceover at the beginning is none other than Tom Baker himself.

And now, a bit of classic comedy. The Ministry of Silly Walks from Monty Python’s Flying Circus. Enjoy.

With a huge Hat Tip to Eideann for forwarding this to us, here’s an essay that reminds us that spelling is important. Please set down your drink before reading.

Nora’s back to tell us that the piano is definitely hers. Don’t mess with her piano. She has teeth and knows how to use them.

Nora the Piano Cat…now with more duets!

What better way to have folks listen to the safety instructions than to mix it up a bit?
