For Your Consideration

JR and I had a nice day in Lebanon yesterday. We watched the horse parade, which featured over 100 horse-drawn buggies, decorated for the holidays. This used to be an annual tradition, but we weren't able to make it there during the years we lived in Chicago.



We had a great time shopping and eating with Lee and Jean. We also resurrected an old tradition - the Ugly Stuff contest. Since we aren't having a holiday party this year, now is your chance to vote for the ugliest item. The winner receives twelve months of bragging rights. Here are your candidates, in no particular order:

Francois the Poodle

Blinking Sally


Evil Squirrel


Bloody Duck

Francois the Poodle is the ugliest by far.

Blinking Sally is incredibly disturbing.

I'm going to have to go with Blinking Sally. She's scary and I can't even see her blinking!

Blinking Sally it is. What's the point in taking the trouble to make such an ugly doll blink? It's like Joan Rivers putting on lipstick...it just doesn't really help.

My theory is that Blinking Sally is possessed, could come alive at any point in time and kill us all. Then, the squirrel would gnaw off everyone's arms and legs. That may be a bit graphic but you can see it in their eyes regardless if they're blinking or not.

i vote for the evil squirrel. he may look innocent, but i know he's done many evil things. he's probably even lived in someone's attic & ran back & forth in someone's ceiling while that someone was working in her office.
and every time that someone would tell her husband "there's a squirrel in the attic" the squirrel would be very quiet and hide in the corner until that someone's husband left the room.
that is evil. and also very ugly.
he gets my vote.

It came down to the squirrel and Sally for me. But in the end, the vacant look in Sally's blinking eyes weirded me out just a little bit more than the squirrel's expression. So, my vote is for Blinking Sally.

Blinking Sally actually reminds me of one of my relatives so I could never consider her the ugliest. However, Francois the Poodle also reminds me of someone who has tried very successfully to maintain the weight from age 16. Cast him to the curb. It's got to be the bloody duck.
