Presidential Knee
I don't know why I did it, but I clicked on a link that announced Selena Gomez was debuting her own line of perfume. She's a pretty girl, but other than watching a few episodes of The Wizards of Waverly Place, I'm not a big fan.
Still, when I looked at her photo, something caught my eye.
She has lovely, slender legs but her left knee looked a little strange. I took a screen shot of the photo, then cropped that part of it and blew it up.
Is it just me, or does her knee bear a resemblance to JFK? Maybe it looks more like Herbert Hoover, but that knee sure looks familar.
Some Heavenly Odds
Frankly, I wish the odds were better, but I'll take 'em. I'm a little surprised that Lust and Wrath aren't in the mix. The Sloth is probably a little under-represented, too.
| Your Deadly Sins |
 Envy: 20% Gluttony: 20% Greed: 0% Lust: 0% Pride: 0% Wrath: 0% Chance You'll Go to Hell: 14% You will die while sleeping - and no one will notice. |
To Die For
Have you ever heard someone say "That was to die for!"? I subscribe to a LOT of recipe sites and it's something I see far too often. Here's one that I saw just the other day that made me realize it's a phrase that's in vogue to say:
Here's another one I saw just this morning, a re-post of an older recipe:
What's up with people saying that? Good grief, there are many things one could say they're worth dying for: your family and/or friends, your country, your core beliefs, your religion, but dying for food?
Yes, I realize it's just a phrase and not meant to be literal, but it's a stupid one. There are other silly statements, like saying "I'm so hungry I could eat a horse." but statements like that are just an exaggeration. I suppose "to die for" is also an exaggeration, but it's one I wish people would quit using.
Dying for a dessert? Sheesh, there are people actually dying because they don't get ANYTHING to eat.
It's not something that "infuriates" me, but I think it's just a silly way to say something is delicious.
Saying a recipe is "to die for" doesn't make me want to try it. I'd rather eat just bread and water than die. (and a diet of only that would eventually kill you) OTOH, when I've seen recipes that say "Better Than Sex" (whatever) it does tend to pique my interest.
Missed the Quiz!
Spent so much time yesterday catching up on my reader feeds and reading and replying to emails that I forgot to play in the quiz! I created it just after I did this blog and other than missing a few days due to computer troubles, have only failed to play it a couple of times.
