Happy Halloween














Crevecoeur chickens aren't really demonic, they just look it.  

Probably.

Pop Culture Frenzy, Round 63

Welcome once again to Pop Culture Frenzy.   Halloween is coming up.  Pick a costume for another player.  I'll start.


Fluffy as Ann Coulter.





Fluffy's too fat.





Not too fat to observe that Cyndi clings
to the bizarre feminist notion 
that it is somehow empowering to make 
disparaging remarks about another
 women's appearance.






Speaking of make believe feminists.
Didn't Hillary just get some
award?





Hostmaster:  First Prize for not knowing when to leave?





The Woman's Media Center gave her
a Wonderwoman Award
for steadfastness and bravery
in public service.






I think we've found Cyndi's costume!
She can dress as Hillary dressed as Wonder Woman.





Hostmaster:  OK.  Let's do another.
Molly?







Bryan as Grumpy Cat.





Hostmaster:  good one.  
Bryan?






Hostmaster as Kim Jong-un






Hostmaster:  hmmm.  I see Bryan as an old style troubled loner killer. 







So, more Charles Whitman than
Omar Mateen. 





Hostmaster:  see?  You're a natural.
Cyndi?





Hostmaster as Harvey Weinstein.





Hostmaster:  not bad.  I see Cyndi as an airhead actress with sudden recovered Harvey Weinstein memory syndrome.  Be sure to wear something sexy.  We'll stand close for pictures at the Halloween party!






Naturally, Hostmaster will go as Harvey 
before the intensive therapy.  






Like the therapy, this round is over.






Round 63
Fluffy/Molly  32
Bryan/Cyndi   28






I wanna go as a flying squirrel.

Breed Profile: Great Pyrenees

The Great Pyrenees (AKA Pyrenean Mountain Dog) was originally used as a flock guardian.  The breed has been around at least since 3000 B.C. when nomadic shepherds brought their sheep and dogs to the Pyrenees Mountains.  Today, many GP's still work as guardians.  Many are pets,  companions, therapy dogs.





Some Great Pyrenees Facts
 - lifespan 10-12 years
-  height:  25-32 inches at shoulder
-  weight:  85-115 pounds
-  double dewclaws on hind legs
-  double coat in white or white with some markings.  The undercoat is dense and wooly, the outer coat is coarse and straight
-  recognized by the American Kennel Club in 1933, a member of the Working Group







The Great Pyrenees is often described as majestic.  (Strangely, the Fright Wig is rarely mentioned.)
GP's are also described as calm, confident, alert, affectionate, strong willed, gentle with family and animals of the home, suspicious of strangers, fearless and serious.





 Great Pyrenees Manifesto

- yes, I do bark a lot.  It's because I take my guardian job seriously.


-  if you are looking for a dog who loves everything and everybody that wanders by, get a Golden Retriever


-  you needn't trouble yourself telling me what to do.  I have everything under control.  You're welcome. 






I don't always sit down on the job.  But when I do, it's in a comfortable chair.

Pop Culture Frenzy, Round 62

Welcome once again to Pop Culture Frenzy.  Most people have heard about Hillary Clinton's latest literary effort entitled, "What Happened".  Now there's talk of making a movie based on this book.




Who should star in it?
Cyndi?





There was that alt right propaganda movie 
last year.  They need to get the truth out.  
Ashley Judd should play Hillary.




Hostmaster:  Ashley Judd certainly has a flair for righteous indignation.  Good choice.
Fluffy?






Chelsea Handler would make
a good Hillary.  They share a similar
 pale faux feminist arrogance.






Hostmaster:  and a similar squirrelly voice.
Bryon?






Here's an idea for the Halloween season. 
They should do the movie from
Vince Foster's point of view.
Trouble is, the only actors I 
can think of to play him are dead.






Hostmaster:  Seth Rich isn't available either.
Molly?








You want scary?  How about starring 
that woman who has her picture taken 
while on the toilet.  You know,
the one who is mean to her 
dog and her little sister?







Good choice.  The camera does
 love Lena Dunham.  Personally, 
I think Megan Kelly should play Hillary.
  Megan has that slimy former attorney vibe
 that could really bring the role to life.   






Round 62
Fluffy/Molly  30
Bryon/Cyndi   27
