sacrilege!!

Holly:

In this weird, weird world we inhabit, is nothing sacred?!?!?



I mean, really. Cookie Monster eating veggies?!?!? And why, do you think? I'll tell you why!!! They're worried about child obesity. Like kids are going to want to eat broccoli because Cookie Monster is on a diet?!?? Please. (although you may beg to differ as you have kids and I don't. Do correct me if I'm wrong!)

I actually found seeing this photo rather traumatic. I don't like vegetables - I never have, and when I was a kid I liked even less. Cookie Monster was my hero.

Whither the real Cookie Monster?

Sob. You will be missed, Cookie.

why didn't I think of that?!?!?!?!

Holly: we need an agent sooner rather than later.

(Wrong agent? Just trying to get your dirty little mind off more current Bonds. I'm a bit of a hypocrite though, because this ruse is not quite working for me...

STOP THINKING ABOUT DANIEL CRAIG, KRISTINA!!

That's better. Besides, as you know I am rather partial to older Scottish blokes:

OK - I can focus now. What was I saying? Oh yes ...).

We desperately need an agent. Look what I saw on the way to work this morning...

We have missed out on yet another golden opportunity! Check out the blurb:

I could have written that book. And you could have written the American companion volume "Why Krispy Kremes just don't cut it: Tim Rules!

So... let's get going on it. It's winter, it's cold and we can spend lots of quality time scheming and writing...

Ahem, not to mention daydreaming.




You are truly, truly wicked. I don't think that JJ will let me watch Casino Royale tonight given that I've already made him see it three times in the past two weeks!

Any zombie problems lately?

Ta-ta,

Kristina

Pure Genius! We need an Agent!

Dear Kristina!

We need an agent, STAT! Better call in 007...




Somehow between the olives, the vodka, the blue eyes and the giddy planning of Daniel Craig as permanent Friday Man Slave yarn winder, this info passed into the martini/brain barrier...

blah,blah, DANIEL CRAIG, blah, blah, movie, BOND, blah, 2008.

fame and fortune are soon to be ours!


Holly:

FABULOUS ideas!!!

I'd totally go for the MDK book concept, but wackier and less homey, of course. How about something along these lines:



Check out the inside of the book!

If you don't know who Amy Sedaris is, you'll get a sense by reading this interview. Very, very wacky. Almost as nuts as us (except that she's only half greek and I'm 100% greek which would account for the difference on my end at least!)

Then we can get a TV show, then Daniel Craig can be the regular guest star. I certainly wouldn't mind prancing around in front of him like this:



I mean, he thinks he's tough...


... but I'm sure we could convince him to be the souschef/yarnwinder/boy Friday. How do you think he'd look in an apron?

Oh Holly Holly Holly - do you see what you've started!!!! You are evil. The world will never be the same again once they are introduced to... the 49th Dimension!!!

Oooh! Excellent Idea!

Totally rock this idea!

Let's either

Have a 49th Dimension Knitting book-like the Mason Dixon chicks
or
Have a Zombie Prom Date Knitters Book turned into a Movie


Either way....





Daniel Craig will star!!!!

stop putting up photos of Daniel Craig, woman!!!

Holly!

It's hard enough being a knitting obsessed blogger and trying to concentrate on work (especially since most of my work is done on the computer). Then you haveto go and put up distracting photos of James Bond! Man alive.

Do you not realise I almost did not leave the house this morning because I was watching Casino Royale for the 50th time?!?!

Sheesh.


Oh - since you've forced us onto this topic, I thought you might enjoy the following video clip for drool potential and/or laughs. I saw this on TV in London at Christmas time. It is a skit featuring Catherine Tate, a popular british comedian, and DC.

Hey - I never clued in that my new favourite movie star and my favourite beverage share the same initials. This must mean something.


Is it meant to be? He has the same colour eyes as JJ as well... just my type! And British to boot.

Now, back to your post.

So, you liked the Malabrigo OK...
I preferred this one but there wasn't enough of it for the Secret of the Stole thing (of course, I had to buy it anyway): Handmaiden Lace Silk!
I now have 7 kilometres of Handmaiden products. Shameless, I know. I'm wondering if there is a Yarn Miles card out there somewhere? hmm.

Excellent that you have a duck family as well! Love it! We'll have to introduce them all sometime.

Sorry to hear about your toxic waste. I won't take any of it, thanks. I got rid of all mine last week when cleaning the apartment. Glad to hear you have a girl crash on the waste lady - I guess you'll never have a girl crush on me because I don't watch CFL. But don't I look handsome? I know, I know... not as good as this guy:

Sigh. (fanning myself) Back to the grind now.
Cheers, and enjoy the waste-free day!

Your Lace Weight Impresses Me...I'll Raise You Hazardous Waste

Your lace weight does in fact impress me. Did you score they all mighty amount?

I was sent a harshly worded email that suggested I needed to get off my arse and rid the house of all the chemicals that forced me to conclude that the Ogre was a Romney lovin' Republican.




My lady really was that happy when she took my hazardous waste! It was great. We talked about coffee, Led Zeppelin the benefits of CFL, and the cool new shopping bags they have at our local grocery store. They're fabric, collapsible, and are sturdy enough to stay upright, all for the low, low price of $1. I think I have a girl crush.

So after all that hot environmental saving the world action, I decided to end some of the Ogre enforced bans and took Pig 3 out to lunch. Oh, I wasn't thinking about Haz Mat Girl, RFK Jr baby. Well, him and Daniel Craig, the beach, and yeah.

Then we went shopping. No, we didn't hit the LYS. I knew that would be pushing it, but I did score some much needed supplies. Christ, there could be a bloody blizzard at any moment and you do not want me to go all Shining on the family and start swinging my shovel willy nilly. So I had to stock up on a few essentials...



Look! Did you know, I too have a family of ducks? They Pigs are actually fostering them for me.
