Teena, I don't know, seems like a Slanket could be the perfect cover-up garment for those annoying water-retention days.

And ScaleMistress, what a great idea! I never thought of the tax deduction aspect. Cranky and Sneaky go very well together.

I know I'm a little late to this party as I catch up on my dose of Crankiness. I say we all don those slankets and call ourselves a cult. Couldn't we then get some sort of tax break for being cranky?

I have the most awesome converts er... commenters ever!

You guys are hilarious.

I definitely need to order up more slankets.

I agree, gumdrops are not good candy. I would be livid upon receiving them for Christmas. They fall into the category of foods that only old men like. Also in that category are black licorice, fruit cake and mince pies.

Crankyism?? Count me in!!

The toilet for two isn't new!! Saturday Night Live did a "commercial" for it about 15 yrs ago (when the show was still good!).

I'll take the slanket too!

2007-12-13T11:05:00.000-05:00

LOL I love the screw with your loved ones thingy - I have a few folks I would enjoy driving a little nutty. The slanket looks cool too - I may just have to get me a purple one! After all when I preach from the Diet Pulpit I need to be warm and cozy. If you start your own cult too let me know - we go on a religous retreat together!

Happy\Cranky Holidays to all!

AGGGGH. My parents gave my husband a gift card in one of those maze things. Trouble is? Hubby has a visual impairment, that they know very well about. He couldn't see the ball to solve the maze. After 20 minutes of him getting embarrassed (merry Christmas, son-in-law!) and me glaring at my mom, he finally opened it. Luckily they actually paid attention and haven't done anything dumb like that since.

If you get to pick the blanket colour, sign me up for Crankyism too. I'm in :)

I've grown to like my inlaw's family list on the fridge where you can write down things you actually want for christmas. I thought it was boring at first, but I like knowing what people actually want and can use.
The coolest thing I've seen lately (I want) is a slate palette you paint on with water and the art slowly fades as it dries...like an art therapy thing. You doodle...it fades....so you doodle again. Seems like heaven to me :)

Hey thanks, amy and therapydoc and andrea!

(And andrea, given that our cat is creative enough with her hairball placement and "scooting," I don't think we'll be ordering her any additional art supplies. We use up enough carpet stain remover as it is!)

2007-12-13T00:38:00.000-05:00

first off, I discovered the pet-painting kit on Amazon a few days ago myself, and was considering the kitty painting set for my love, Napoleon.

And secondly, you crack me up. I've been reading for a few weeks, and you just crack me up. Thanks!

Yeah, good luck with that list, Crabby.

2007-12-12T23:21:00.000-05:00

Super sweet gifts! The dog fingerprinting kit is the best. You just must stop by and post a white elephant gift for our exchange - choose your slanket or anything you want. Awesome finds!

2007-12-12T21:25:00.000-05:00

So I've been off Christmas shopping of all things, buying inappropriate presents, and what a great bunch of comments came in! Love all the awesome links and pathetic presents (sorry chickengirl, that sucks!) and the new Crankyism Converts.

Also, anyone who missed it MUST click on Hilary's personalized toilet link. Now I'll really have nightmares about it!

And tires that smell nice? Wouldn't that be awesome!

Ok, Crabby, you already know how I feel about the two-assed toilet.

I wonder if they could make a Skank-et, one that is low, cut and mini-skirt style. I think that would definitely cater to the younger demographic. You are hilarious, Crabby!

I have nothing witty to add, just wanted to say you made me laugh and laugh over the slanket. Thanks.

2007-12-12T18:18:00.000-05:00

If you do Crankyism, the followers could be "crankyists". Also my ex gave me workout clothes last christmas. they were a size too big, and looked like the stuff 70+ year old women use to power walk. I'm 20 (I was 19 then.)

2007-12-12T16:21:00.000-05:00

I don't think I'll be able to express just how horrified I was at that toilet thing. It bothers me so much I'm at a loss for words.

2007-12-12T15:49:00.000-05:00

I already got the one thing I wanted and didn't really expect to ever see, a new to me motorcycle to keep up with the dearest one and his new to him motorcycle. My old moto went off to a new home today as an Xmas present for someone else, which is totally cool! Not edible but there is actually some exercise involved in riding it.

It doesn't look like I'm going to get world peace *this* year either, but I keep hoping.

I liked the cube thingy as a gift too, what a wonderfully passive aggressive present!!! LOL!

I don't understand the dog "FINGER" painting though: wouldn't it more correctly be "PAW" painting, and, if one both chooses and applies the paint oneself, then covers it with plastic to protect those poochie paws, isn't one in effect mostly creating the painting themselves? Now , cheap poster paint, a plastic dropcloth, several puddles of paint for pooch to traipse randomly through placed on the dropcloth with a canvas in the middle to catch prints, and a short leash; I could see that working. Poster paint washes off well too.

The toilet? Heck, even when we're in the woods rough camping, we go opposite directions to find a spot. Sheesh!

Crankyism? I'm already there, just mail me my membership card and I'll send in my dues! :D

I want lavender scented tires. Seriously, just the other day I felt the urge to bend down and sniff my tires and they smelled like.....ewww.....rubber! So I was very relieved when I heard the ad on the radio that our local tire store is selling tires that smell like lavender instead of rubber. Seriously. Google lavender tires. Orange and Jasmine coming soon!

Crabby, to prevent unwanted picture-crawlage, put this before the next picture: <br style="clear: both;">

re: gift-giving: I get bummed out every time I get presents because apparently nobody -- nobody -- has even a single clue about what I would like, so everybody just gives me either pajamas in the largest size they can find (and for Pete's sake, I was never that big! But I have my doubts that they'll even notice that 30 pounds have gone bye-bye since the last time they saw me), or bath stuff.

I mean, is it really that hard to just take one minor fact about someone and go with it? Like, "She likes LOLkittehs... here's a funny picture of a kitteh!" or, "She plays World of Warcraft, maybe I'll get her a two-month subscription card." or, "She's kind of a geek... here's an awesome science kit!"

I guess I really am one of those "it's the thought that counts" people. And it's not that I'm ungrateful, but does the thought always have to be "I think you weigh 300 pounds and you stink"?
