I was at the mall earlier in a very nice suburb and saw a kiosk right beside in the indoor children's playground selling "SILLY CONTRABANDZ"!
I immediately covered my children's eyes, as right there next to the kiosk selling actual bracelets shaped like guitars, flamingos and toucans was a kiosk selling:
*Glittery guns with silencers
*Joyful looking stuffed animals jammed with addictive substances
*Figurines of illegal immigrants telling joke after joke after joke after joke in an unfamiliar language. For a bit extra, you can buy a windowless toy van.
*Shanks in various bright & cheerful colors
*A Monopoly game with actual counterfeit money
(Note: they won't let you open the package before buying it. You're not going to pull one over on those hustlers.)
(Note: they won't let you open the package before buying it. You're not going to pull one over on those hustlers.)
*Gift wrapped cell phones already postmarked for local prisons
*Caged endangered animals, including the mantled howler monkey, Tasmanian forester kangaroo and the gray wolf
*Mexican prescription drugs in a sweet looking pink piggy bank
The list goes on... Unbelievable! Apparently you can buy your own franchise and set up shop wherever you'd like. I am thinking of opening a MOBILE franchise i an ice cream truck. "After you commit a crime, it's ice cream time!" will be my business motto. Also, if you are not already convinced, the benefits package is irresistible. If I am not mistaken, you get up to a few years off for vacation...in your local prison.

#1 My post Top 5 Reasons For My Gym Anxiety is being featured over at the blog "Laugh Out Loud: The Best of the 'Sit Down' Comedians" site today. If you haven't read it yet, click on the link, read it and giggle...or not. Just don't tell me if you are disgusted when you finish reading it, 'mmmkay?PAJAMA MONOLOGUES defined DUELSOS this way...
'Dueleso' which of course is derived from the French, meaning 'Dueling lesson'. If you get shot then the ending changes slightly since you likely will need medical attention so it becomes "dueleSOS".IN THE SHORT ROWS defined PREGRAY this way...
My word was pregray....defined as the time period in which one still has their original hair color, before the inevitable signs of aging. :-)GIVE ME PAWS defined BETRITI this way...
I kinda want a Mexican Martini. Oh, but the bellini sounds so good too! Maybe just a Margarita? Oh Hell, it's gonna be a long night, why hold back? Let's just go with Betritis all around!!SUZROCKS defined MONIHOST this way...
A virulent, deadly, bloodletting strain of the monicer virus, out of South Africa. Named after its host whose name was Monica.PIN TO KONAI! defined scropsy this way:
Some children can get scropsy if you don't lavish them with constant attention.
I looooooooooooooooved the definitions! They made me laugh out loud fo' real! Thanks so much for participating in my silly little game. :)

Aw MAN! I missed Captcha Balderdash. Best Idea ever. Do it again! Do it again!
Whew - where to begin? Those colored SHANKS actually sounds like the start of a great prison game but I'll have to think on the rules a bit? The LOL post was GREAT as usual so tonight I watched MASTERCHEF on television!
Finally, thanks for the Captcha game and my definition shout-out. It really is a creative game and good material for an entertaining follow-up post - WISH I HAD THOUGHT OF IT!
Kelley - enlighten us all - why is COKE displayed in your breakroom as opposed to other carbonated beverages. I happen to be a Diet Coke fan but was just curious? W.C.C.
Love your blog, fun fun! Ok those Silly Bandz, don't get them. I am so glad I have all boys. I am sure they will get into so dumb fad that I wont get ...thankfully I have a few years for that {hopefully}.
I just can't get used to this comments at the top thang.
Love the definitions. How did I miss that? So funny.
Congrats on the LOL post. Well deserved.
I need to submit some new stuff.
Thanks Kelley for choosing my definition as one of the top 5! I feel so honored!
Great job on LOL. And thanks for coming by to let me know you mentioned me today... I didn't read at all yesterday and I'm not sure I'll get to read today either. Loved the captcha balderdash! :)
(Contra)bandz! :-) Nicely done!
What is it with those little things, anyway? I'm seeing them everywhere, but had no idea...

As a 2nd grade teacher I believe these darn bracelets were invited to drive us CRAZY!
They scheme to trade them = distracting
the trades fall through and there is sadness = distracting
they fly across the room = distracting
they make indentations in arms and then the kid cries b/c they think their arm will fall off = distracting
I wish we would ban them in my school!
(PS: I have four confiscated ones of my own!)
I would totally buy all of those things. I'm not sure what that says about me.
I think it is the goal of every child to collect their weight in bad plastic toys every year. And there are way to many merchants wanting to help...
Love the captcha balderdash !! I wish I would have thought about it.
I hope I am not the only loser-ish full grown adult who is obsessed OBSESSED with silly bandz. I just collected about 5000 of them from various areas of my house. And they're all mine, not my kids'. Sad?
I love LOL. I'll head over to read your post right quick.
And Wow! We don't have any kiosks like that in our mall. We only have the hand cream and wig and cell phone kiosks whose main job seems to be running after people in the mall in a harassing fashion. I might kind of like a glittery gun and windowless van kiosk. It would be a refreshing change!
Oh, and my Captcha was COUGHB. That's what Elmer Fudd does when he has a cold.
LMFO! (laughing my face off). :)
