Ahhhh...Fall in Arizona
First day in I don't know how long that I didn't have to use the A/C in my car. It was so cool I left the doors open to let the fresh air in. Absolutely craptastic day at work, had to bake chocolate chip cookies to soothe my soul. *ack*

Oh No He Di'n't!
I’ve been watchin' the reports about that a man in Texas who won an award at the state fair for his culinary concoction: Deep Fried Butter.
He obviously doesn't know that the original creator of Deep Fried Butter Balls is me. The nerve.
If you'll remember, three years ago, on a dare, I created deep fried butter? And, through a series of goofy events, I ended up on Paula Deen’s show “Paula’s Party” (episode: “Everything is Better with Butter”). You can even find the recipe on the Food Network website!

Here’s a link to my blog and how the butter balls came about…

What put the bee in my bonnet is Letterman's Top Ten last night was about Deep Fried Butter.
Game on.
That fool in TX should've never messed with a SPQ. I have a tiara and I ain't a-skairt to use it.

This just in...
Farmers issue warning after fatal cow attacks (dead cows can attack people? I feel a ‘B’ movie coming on..)
LONDON (Reuters) – The deaths of no fewer than four people (wouldn’t that make it…four?) after being trampled by cows in the past two months has prompted Britain's main farming union to issue a warning about the dangers of provoking the normally docile animals. (How does one ‘provoke’ a cow, exactly? Do you ask it, “Got Milk?”)
Cows can become aggressive and charge, especially when calves are present and walkers are accompanied by dogs (wait a minute…since when do walking aids need dogs to accompany them? Are they blind?), said the National Farmers Union (NFU).
The union and the Ramblers' Association (I’m going to need clarity here – is this an association for people who like to ‘ramble’ along a path or an association for a car?) both advise that walkers release dogs from their leads when passing through a field of cows.
"The cattle are interested in the dog, not the walker," said Robert Sheasby, Rural Surveyor at the NFU. (ah...I see match.com has branched out)
"As the cattle try to get the dog (like in a game of tag?), there's a high chance they will get the walker too." (Captain Obvious here...who the sam hill goes and walks their dog in a cow pasture!?)
Britain has 7.5 million cows but in the past eight years there have only been 18 deaths involving cattle (wait..”only”? are we disappointed by this number?), including bulls whose dangers are well-known. (read: Pamplona, Spain)
The current spate of attacks by cows (Coming to a theatre near you: Zombie Guernsey’s of the Damned! They only moo once.) began on the Pennine Hills on June 21, when Liz Crowsley, a veterinary surgeon from Warrington, was crushed against a wall and then trampled underfoot while out walking with her two dogs.
On July 15, another attack took place in Derbyshire, when Barry Pilgrim, a 65-year old from the area, was trampled to death by a cow as his wife looked on. (yeah…something tells me this wasn’t an “accident”.)
Three days later, Anita Hinchey, a 63-year-old, was walking her dog near Cardiff when a cow attacked her and trampled her to death. (Holy Crap! There’s a Bovine Mafia taking out octogenarians!)
The fourth fatal attack claimed the life of Harold Lee, a 75-year-old farmer from Burtle in the West Country. He was killed by his own herd, which may have been made nervous by the siren of a passing ambulance. (*snork* did they think it was coming for them so they decided to take out the only witness to their crimes?)
The risk is especially high in the spring when many of the calves are only a month or two old and the mothers are therefore especially protective, the NFU said. (WTF? Are they cross breeding cows with crocodiles?)
"It's to do with spring and autumn calving," said Sheasby.
"In the autumn, cattle will be coming into winter housing but in spring you want them out grazing the grass." (umm….duh?)
Cow-charging incidents received extended coverage when former Home Secretary David Blunkett was attacked by one in June as his guide dog led him across a field in England's Peak District. (What a Gulli-BULL! What a nin-COW-poop!)
Blunkett broke a rib and was heavily bruised but survived. (I bet he never hears the phrase “Beef: It’s what’s for dinner” the same way anymore.)

Deja Moo - The Feeling I've Heard this Bull Before
Calf in Colorado born with 7 legs, 2 spines
May. 23, 2009 12:44 PMAssociated Press
STEAMBOAT SPRINGS, Colo. - It's an unlucky No. 7 for a calf born with a few extra legs in Colorado.
The Steamboat Pilot & Today of Steamboat Springs reports that a veterinary hospital helped deliver a seven-legged calf Thursday. (Big deal. Steve Madden has been breeding turkeys with eight legs for years.)
The staff at the Steamboat Veterinary Hospital said the Black Angus calf, which was delivered by cesarean section, had two spines but one head. One leg also had two hooves.
The calf lived for only about 10 minutes.
Veterinarian Lee Meyring says the birth was an incomplete splitting of the embryo into twins.
He says he had previously seen a calf with a fifth leg, but the seven-legged calf was the most bizarre he has seen. (Dude. There was a kitten with TWO faces! That's pretty bizarre. He really need to start reading the Oddball News on Yahoo!)
The hospital says the calf's owners do not want to be identified. (However, the owner was identified as having a giant white ball for a head and was traveling with about a dozen tiny cowboys. See picture/video below).

Truth in Advertising
I'm all for truth in advertising. But...seriously?
And, you will never catch me driving a car with the words "butt paste" emblazened on it for all the world to see.

Are You Ready for Some Football?
To get in the mood for today's big game, I thought I'd post a picture from media day. Now, what's great about this picture isn't just the fab-u-lous outfit the "reporter" is sportin', but the look on the players face.
It really does just sum up what I'm certain everyone is thinking - What the sam hill are you wearing!? Don't you have any friends?
Honestly, this girl not only needs friends...she needs Jesus and a nap! OH wait. I just noticed the logo on her mike. She's from Telemundo. And the world makes sense again.
GO CARDS!
