Donkey Elephant USA Fabric

I made this fabric for another contest over at spoonflower.com . For this contest, we were supposed to use the donkey and the elephant and incorporate them in a way where they were kind of getting along (much the opposite of reality unfortunately)! I wanted the middle stripes to be purple as a symbol of the combining of blue and red, but it sort of turned out more blue that I’d hoped. I also wanted the donkey and elephant to look like they were talking to each other. If you want to check out the fabric, it is available at this link: http://www.spoonflower.com/fabric/1406600

So, we arrived on a Wednesday afternoon. They took blood samples from

Well, as you may or may not know, I have quite a few Starbucks collectibles. I’m sorry if that offends you. As I said in a previous post, I know Starbucks is the Evil Empire, but I still don’t really know why. So, until I can really be convinced of it, I continue to go there. In stores now around here they have these cute walrus and polar bear animals that are promoting a movie

Well, I cannot believe this one! I’m trying to limit the points for the US versus lame-assness game to one point per incident, but these incidents are just so bad I feel like awarding more points. In this incident the United States Air Force is
