Semi-Wordless Bra Tuesday (on Wednesday 'Cuz I Forgot!)

No...that does NOT mean I won't talk all day!....that would be stoooooopid! Wordless Bra Tuesday

is brought to you by the good Doctor and Nurse over at Hollydale General Hospital Clinic and Beaver Taming Salon. And my decision to post a knitted bra, was inspired by this lickle post!

(Wanna play WBT? Just post a bra on your blog on Tuesdays!)

Olga's Post-Thanksgiving Day Report: Phew....I'm STUFFED!

And believe me, stuffing these DD's takes effort!

But like every good All-American bra,

yesterday my cups were overflowing with turkey and stuffing and

mashed taters and cranberries and yams and green beans and gravy

and THREE kinds of PIE!

{{ugh}}

So today it's back on the treadmill with a big ol' bag of my beloved

SUGAR SNAP PEAS!

I'm so cRaZy about these snappy little veggies...

I bought a t-shirt declaring my love for them!

And (as promised) here's a picture of

me in it!

Oh...and here's one of my blog-mistress wearing it too.

The Further e-MANcipation of Speedy...

Dear Miss MoneyPenny ~

In answer to your burning question....

I went searching for an answer,

opened up a closet... ....and look what came out!

(smootch-Speedy-smooooooootch!)

Happy Birthday to One of The Girls...

(The youngest one...)

All We Are Saying...Is Give Peas a Chance!

Yesterday, I was Twittering with some bloggy pals about the my obsession with

SUGAR SNAP PEAS! Yes, those sweet, crunchy, little greens pods of healthy yumminess that frankly, I just can't get anough of!

I told Jaffer of ManiaRavings that

"My dream is to convert EVERYONE from potato chips to

Sugar Snap Peas!"

And he said: "How about a Sugar-Snap meme?"

Me: "SNAP! OK....you start it! LOL!"

Him: "I think I may try my hand at this!"

And sure 'nuff...he did!

Here's Jaffer's SUGAR SNAP PEA MEME

(please check it out)

And here's my contribution:

An Ode To Sugar Snap Peas

Oh how I love my Sugar Snap Peas

I eat them guiltless whenever I please

JUICY and SWEET

I LOVE TO MUNCH 'EM

One after the other

I CRUNCH CRUNCH CRUNCH 'em!

Buy 'em by the bagful

and eat them raw

or dunk 'n dip 'em

You can't go wrong!

40 calories per cup and ZERO fat

Sugar Snap Peas are where it's at!

Protein, fiber and Vitamin C too

Sugar Snap Peas are like a dream come true!

So toss your junk food and take a hike

Crunch on peas while you ride a bike

Soon you'll be happier and healthier too

'Cuz Sugar Snap Peas are GOOD FOR YOU!

I tag Drowsey, Speedy, Mimi - the Queen of Memes,

Claire, and The Reverend.

Directions: Grab a bag of sugar snap peas and try your hand in composing a sonnet or a quatrain or an ode or a ghazal or even a haiku describing your experiences.
Make it funny, romantic or hateful, we want to see them all!

Please help get this brand new MEME off to a healthy start!

Thanks Jaffer!

Ten Cent Tipsy Has Found His Name & Shipped Out!

The dear old bears at Dear Teddy recently asked if any one recognized this poor old bear who'd not only lost his way, but also his name! Luckily, Hungry Mother (aka: Bill McArthur) recognized his old sea chum, Ten Cent Tipsy (named for his two bad habits: drinking too much and stiffing the bartenders) and so now Ol' Ten Cent (or TenCee for short) is on his way to Bill's winter home in Florida...where Bill assures us that TenCee will have "good fun kayaking and fishing in Naples and the Everglades. He won't get bored."

THANKS BILL!

Hey! Do YOU have a Toy Story to tell?....if so, why not send it to one of the teditors at Dear Teddy? ~ Busy Bear, Snowy Bear or Grumpy Ted would love to hear from you!

An Ode To The Old Git On The Occasion Of His 60th Birthday

DaddyP, DaddyP

you mean so very much to me.

You make me shiver, you make shake,

and you made my straps almost break.

You took me on a little stroll
and served me tea and sausage rolls.

You filled my cups with rocks and dirt

and acted like such a flirt.

You made me stretch and get all dirty,

then hooked me up with your llama Gerty.

You lost my eyes and now I'm blind

But I can adjust, I don't really mind

In fact, all I really want to do

is send a hug and kiss to you

And tell you today,

as you are one year older,

that it is my honor

to be your Boulder Holder!

Happy Birthday DaddyP!

love,

Olga, et al.

HEY - It's Grumpy Bear's birthday too!

CHECK IT OUT at Dear Teddy!

Dona Nobis Pacem

It's Blog Blast For Peace time again! Thank you Mimi for organizing this!

A Mystery to Solve!

We take a break from the Smoosh Your Boobies! campaign to bring you this important announcement:

Hello....do you recognize me?I know I am a bear...but unfortunately due to a bit of tumble on board ship I cannot remember my name. I'd rather not talk about it but what I would say is it involved a rough sea crossing, losing my ID over board, and one too many tots of rum.....the sun was over the yardarm I hasten to add. My name is on the tip of my furry little tongue but alas it just won't come...

THE REST OF THIS INTRIGUING STORY can be found at Dear Teddy

where Busy Bear, Grumpy Ted and Snowy Bear

are holding a CONTEST to help jog this poor ol' bear's memory.

So, please visit Dear Teddy

and help this poor ol' sailor find a name and a home!

Very excellent. So, please stay tuned...

Here's ONE of my Smooshed Boobies-Prints:

"Smooshing Pumpkins"

And check out Claire's Smashing Pumpkins!

(Oh yeah, it's Doodle Week too!)

Smoosh Your Boobies!

The other day, Claire and I were discussing Doodle Week, which starts tomorrow, October 25th with the theme, Doodle PINK BOOBIES....in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and naturally, that got us to talking about doodling...

...and boobies
...and our doodling our boobies
...and then Claire said she'd like to paint her boobies

...not just doodle them

...and then, one thing led to another

...and somehow we decided it would be really fun to paint our boobies

...and then smoosh them onto a piece of paper

...to make a boobie-print

...like a hand-print

...but a lot more interesting
...and THEN we thought

...let's try to get as many bloggers as possible to do this too and send us their boobies-prints

...and we will post them all HERE on Halloween in support of Breast Cancer Awareness Month!

...WHAT A GREAT IDEA!

SO, HOW 'BOUT IT, FOLKS?!? Let's SMOOSH SOME BOOBIES! Boobies of all sizes, shapes, colors and genders

are encouraged to participate!

(This is either my or Claire's feeble 1st attempt at a Smooshed Boobies-Print)

How to SMOOSH YOUR BOOBIES:

1. Tape a piece of paper to the wall (at boobie height)

2. Choose your color(s) of paint

3. Apply paint to bare boobies with a soft brush, fingers, sponge, or whatever

4. Smoosh your boobies onto the paper (you might want to experiment a little with holding them together and/or guiding them into position)

5. Repeat as necessary until desired effect is achieved

6. Shower

7. Take a picture or scan your smooshed-boobies print

8. And email it to Claire or Olga no later than Thurday, October 30th (Include your name/blog's url if you want a link back)

We will post them all at Smoosh Your Boobies on Halloween...and of course, feel free to post your boobies-print on your blog too!

Prizes will be awarded for best boobies-print, most original, most life-like,

best use of color, etc!

It Was Bound To Happen Sooner Or Later....

...seems my white-trash cousin (twice removed, at least, on my mother's side) -

Ms. Ashleigh Anne Chickensworth - has finally made a name for herself!(And you can do it for yourself here!) She's been cast in a supporting role in the new major-blockBUSTer-straight-to-DVD-movie, The Sisterhood Of The Traveling Bra! (*WARNING: Rated R for Raunchy) Now, for those of you (DaddyP) still worried about MY recent "dalliances"....don't you feel kinda silly?Thanks for the link Kuanyin!

I'd NEVER do anything to embarASS my pal Speedy!

Unless...

He ASKED FOR IT!

And he did...

You Asked For It, Blessing....

Well, gosh...after receiving yet another plea from "blessing" today,

(see previous post) I felt it would be just plain bad manners not to reply!

(Ideas gleaned from several actual scam emails found on the web)

Buh-wah-hahahaha!

This I One Blessing I'm NOT Counting!

OK, I know ya'll get these stoopid emails too....

but this one really busted me up!

If the horrendous spelling and grammatical errors aren't bad enough...does "blessing" even realize he/she is writing to a BRA?

I am so tempted to "be in communication...and see

what happened in the future."

Bra-ha-hahahahaha!!!

PS: I just got word that Dimitrios, the Traveling Greek Bra Detective has landed in Paradise and is gearing up for his trip to St. Maarten! Have fun Dimitrios - wish I was there!

TA-TA! (for now) My Little Friend...?!

I would like to thank MedStudentWife of Another Day in Paradise for being so flexible and accommodating (two of my favorite characteristics) and allowing me to postpone my visit with her (in Ottawa, Canadialand) in order to stay on track with the busy travel itinerary that my slave-driver blog-mistress has set up for me through the end of the year! (Phew!)

This change of plans is actually turning out to be a blessing in disguise...because MedStudentWife has been promising to make a pair of nice warm fur cup-liners for me for almost a year...and so it just makes sense that I come back and visit her during the cold, and downright nippy month of February! Unfortunately, this means I'm missing out on going to the Caribbean next week...but hey, as usual, my loss is someone else's gain! Watch the video to find out who!

My Final Drowsey-Monkey Blog-iversary Update ~ (so far..)

Hoo-ray for Drowsey! She bagged a big one!!!

I'm SO happy for you Drowsey!

HAPPY BLOG-IVERSARY to a GOOD FRIEND

and a GREAT SPORT!

Where Did Drowsey Go?!?

Well,

someone just sent me this picture of

our beloved Drowsey Monkey

taken very early this morning.

Apparently....she's gone hunting!

It's what every good blogger does on their 1st Year Blog-iversary, eh?

(Drowsey....time to wake up! Or more photos could be on their way....)

Don't Be Confused Drowsey!..........It's Just A Global Blog-iversary Posting Party For YOU!!!

My Pal Drowsey Monkey is not only one of my favorite bloggers and an all around terrific person...today she is celebrating her ONE YEAR BLOG-IVERSARY! Woo-Hoo!!!

And, it's been nearly that long since I was first drawn to her blog by this post: A Large Penis Is Good To Have. (A-hem.) And curiously enough, if you read the comments on that post, you'll see that it was also our good buddy Speedcat Hollydale's first visit to Drowsey's blog too! AND not only that...but Drowsey's comment back to me on that post states that she was (surprise surprise) "confused" by my comment! And so set the stage for a year of some of the funniest and most memorable blogging moments I've ever had, and the development of a friendship with one of the nicest people I've ever met.

Whether I'm reading one of Drowsey's hilarious, astute, or heartfelt posts (*see the best of the best here), or we're "stalking" each other all around the blogosphere, or staying up waaaaay past our bedtimes having one of our now infamous late night e-mail "gab-sessions", or conspiring to PhotoShop some part of Speedy's anatomy....getting to know this woman has been an honor and a total BLAST!

Besides her sense of humor, what I appreciate most about Drowsey is her warmth, openness and genuineness...she has a gift for story-telling that makes you feel like you're sitting next to her in her living room (with her cats) and sharing a cup of coffee (with Baileys, of course) and maybe even with that creepy ol' neighbor peeking in through the window. Dang!...if we only lived closer, I KNOW we'd be hanging out together and cracking each other up ALL THE TIME! In fact, I don't imagine we'd get much else done...but...it sure would be fun! (Actually, in September I really AM gonna visit Drowsey! So stay tuned for THAT!)

HAPPY 1st BLOG-IVERSARY TO

MY PAL DROWSEY! This clam's for you!

{{{HUGS!}}}

And if you don't have a blog leave a comment or

drop me a note & I'll add it here!

Like this one from Drowsey Monkey fan, Jack Payne...
Happy Anniversary, Drowsey:
As long as you don't take bus trips up there in bushwack country (I have that beheading of the blogger on a bus in mind), you are probably safe to pursue your career as one of the world's foremost bloggers. It's said that the colder the X-Ray table, the more of your body is required on it. This blogging addiction is much like this. However, you seem to have mastered this craft, with omnipotent powers of communication. When in doubt about an upcoming blog piece, merely sprinkle some of your Holy Water on it--and go with it.
Cheers! ~Jack

Olga Needs....

Mimi, (aka: the Queen of Meme's) of Mimi Writes tagged me with The Needs Meme...All you have to do is Google your first name with the word needs behind it and post the results. Easy Peasy! So here are a few of the 3,460,000 results from the two pages of Google Search for "Olga Needs." (To spice things up a bit, I also searched Google Images for "Olga Needs"...and included a few of those results too.)

DANG!...I never knew I was so needy!

Olga needs a mom

Olga needs to meet a man!

Olga needs a family that will accept her and her siblings

Olga needs to look up billy joe!
Olga needs to stick with her merengue and salsa music

Olga needs shoes that cost more than $200

Olga needs a swim suit

Olga needs to release a soul to the afterlife

Olga needs a glass of water! (*this was a comment from Speedy on my blog!)

Olga needs some more oats

Olga needs to be renamed "she who sheds a lot."

Olga needs to revisit, however, other painful memories

Olga's needs to go national and share its tasty Olga goodness with the rest of the US

Olga needs Olga

*I TAG WHOEVER WANTS TO DO A QUICK AND EASY MEME!

Doodle Me Once, Doodle Me Twice, And Doodle Me Once Again...& again...& again...

And so, another successful Doodle Week (finally!) concludes with ~

"Doodle Body"

I Doodle believe I am, unDoodletedly, the most well-Doodled

bra in the history of Doodles! (Or bras!)

( . )( . )

I'd like to give a great big Double-D CUPS UP to my current Chaperon - THE "Doodle-Mistress" with the most delightfully demented sense of humor of anyone I know (except for maybe...oh well, never mind - you know who you are!) - the Lovely Claire !

Thanks for making me Doodle myself crazy! 'Twas FUN!

Gotallama?

It's true what they say...

You can't Pet A Luma....

But if you are nice...

I'll let you Pet My Llama!

She's from Petaluma.
