Seventeen Shopping Days Until Labor Day

And I still haven't submitted my gift list to the world. So, to the Labor Day Genie, I submit my three wishes:

1. From Wonderfullywacky.com, the Beer Belt.

2. To help me support the troops, our friends at Atlantic Toys are selling Special Ops 'Sniper' Stanley!!! I can't wait to take this guy to work, so the kids and I can play with this bad motherfucker!!!!

3. And how cool would it be to have Mr. T, I mean Sergeant First Class Bosco Barracus team up with 'Sniper' Stanley to kick some Persian Gulf ass?!?!

Sure, the A-Team was famous for its poor marksmanship (remember all that semi-automatic weaponfire that landed at the bad guys' feet?). But 'Sniper' Stanley can more than cover for B.A. Barracus' poor shooting. And then B.A. can go in and put some Bad Attitude hurt on the Iraqis via hand-to-hand combat! Afterwards he can do a sales pitch for 1-800-CALL-ATT.

Imagine: me with a case of Old Milwaukee strapped around my waist, on the banks of Lake Harriet, storming a homespun sand castle with Mr. T and 'Sniper' Stanley. This is going to the the best Labor Day ever, if the LD Genie comes through for me!!!

Damn, I can't think of a better way to support our troops. Well, except for taking action with BringThem Home Now's webpage. A guy who goes by the pseudonym "Mick Golden" sent me the link today and I just heard about this group on the radio last night. The Pentagon spokesperson kind of blew it off as a tiny minority and rambled on about The War On Terror, which somehow includes Iraq. Ugh.
