Well, Bumba, if you want to go with different wildlife, Miss Moose has a wide-open calendar! 
Good luck to you! It sounds very exciting!
I missed ya guys! Now that December is almost over, I should be around more.
Forgot to look there! :smack:
<Runs off to search between the couch cushions>
Sorry, FCM, but Miss Moose, how shall I put this, has been around too much. A few too many miles on that elk.
But Bumba, why go with tired old logos like teddy bears or moose, when you could branch out into an entirely new cuteness realm? Yes: I mean a ferret!
Wouldn’t that be a great logo for bath stuff?
“Get Clean as a Weasel!”
Do we now get to branch out into soap recipes? High fat content, to make them Atkins-safe?
I think that if you’re looking for an animal mascot for soap, and you’re not going with a duck, then a naked mole rat is probably your best option.
Well, that’s it for me this year. I’ll see you all next year, same bat time, same bat channel.
Oh, one more thing:
Happy New Year!!
Happy New Year’s Eve! And once again, I will welcome the new year in bed… probably asleep. I’m not a night person.
But all you MMPers who’ll be whooping it up tonight, mind the whooping and return here safely! I mean it! Don’t make me get all cross and crabby with misbehavers…
This nagging post is a production of FCM Enterprises, a subsidiary of RueFans, Incorporated. That’s all I got.
Well, except some Happy New Year Confetti:

sigh - wish I was all artistical…
Right back attcha!
Woohoo! It’s almost the New Year!
I’m not sure about ferret logos, merrily. I agree with Shibb- nothing says clean like a naked mole rat!
Have you ever seen a real live naked mole rat? Ick.

Happy New Year!
HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!
I’ve snuck in here real quick like before I prepare the house and food for this evening’s festivities. We’ll have some people over, imbibe in a few…uh…beverages, eat some food, play some 99 and just generally have a good time. Keys will be handed to me at the door and no one, I mean no one, is allowed to drive home impaired. I’ve got plenty of space, air mattresses, sofas, and blankets.
Thanks for all the chuckles and smiles this year. I hope the New Year brings peace and prosperity to all of you!
Two words: Kim Possible
Rufus is her friend, Ron Stoppable’s pet, and usually does heroic stuff in each episode. You gotta have kids to get this stuff, I suppose.
Call me, beep me, if you wanna reach me…No need to have kids, just to be a child at heart.
Happy New Year! to all of you. And…Happy Birthday! to me! Got me 2 presents today…but they are both kick-butt presents. The 20GB iPod - yay! And…a new dresser from Ethan Allen! My parents rock. An additional side benefit - it made me still feel young. I was with my mom when were looking to pick it out - she knew the names of all the styles. Me? “It’s pretty - I like it - let’s get it”. So we did. I don’t actually get it for a few weeks - but that’s fun, 'cause it makes the birthday last longer!
Susan
Thanks. On behalf of everyone else who may not have time to get it in -
Happy Birthday 2 U!
Gee, a lot of birthdays today.
Darn! Another submission turned down. Oh, well, maybe I’ll write to the airlines: Fare-it with a ferret!
Maybe not.
Happy New Birthday Year!
It is better with weasels.
Happy Birthday, susan!
It’s my friend Biff’s birthday today, too. He had to run 21 miles for his upcoming marathon, so I ran a few early miles with him and some other running buddies. Then we took him out to lunch at Island’s.
I just talked to The Boy on the phone. He’s going to a club tonight for NYE. I’m staying home and going to bed early. Somehow this doesn’t seem fair or right. He’s lucky I’ma pick him up at the airport on Sunday. Sheesh.
I was really looking forward to a link to the Minnesota Multi-Phasic, I haven’t taken the fun thing in years!! It’s the only time I’ve been classified as ‘normal’ - but I don’t hold it against them.
D’you all know where I’ve been for the past couple of days? Absolutely nowhere! I’ve been right here, cleaning house because I always get it in my head that the house should be super sparkly clean for the new year. This means, that with uber-cleaning genes from both sides of my family my house is clean down to polishing individual molecules. But now everything is so clean that I’m a little afraid of it. So I’ll just sit here on a small corner of a chair and type very neatly.
I bought the very last bag of black eyed peas in the entire store and had to bat my eyes at the butcher to get him to find me the last two ham hocks in existence. What is wroooong with people?! Don’t you know that you must have black eyed peas and cornbread for new year’s supper or who knows what horrors might befall you! Even if it’s just one bite, you gotta do it! It might be the only thing that keeps your head from falling completely off your neck sometime in the upcoming year!
Bumba, I give your design a C young man (I’m a very tough grader, so that’s actually good). Now, slap a smile on that bear, pull him a little higher out of the water! Bubbles floating in the air, grandma wallpaper, a little fuzzy bath mat, wider wood flooring, a needle point picture of your company name on the wall. Tushie! Nekkid bear tushie is adorable! See if you can’t work that in, maybe a rubber ducky somewhere but not too close to the tushie ya pervert. And jazz up the edge of your logo with a fancy old-timey scroll or something. Good Og man! Merrily handed you a gem of an idea for a product line for kids. Clean as a weasel is brilliant! Especially if you place them on the lower shelves where the ankle biters will see them and pester mom and dad. Be sure to have weasel shaped bath mitts to go with. Made out of organically grown cotton, maybe that naturally colored cotton so it’s dye-free. And if you do the tub thing, get a bunch of styrofoam balls and paint them various shades of a pastel color, then cover with a little clear opalescent paint, and blammo! you’ve got a bubble bath for your bear to sit in. And congratulations and good luck.
So scout, where’s all that rain you promised, huh? Huh?
Happy New Year and Happy birthday and Happy Un-Birthday to all the appropriate folks.
Hey, I said it was my preliminary artwork. Said artwork is now in the hands of a graphic artist friend of ours and we’ll see what he does with it.
BTW, there was a rubber duckie, albeit a small one.
It’s at our house. Please come and get it. :rolleyes:
Huh. We went to a Vietnamese restaurant. DIdn’t know about ham hocks.
What the heck is a ham hock?
Am tired from constant company. Will spend today watching all the LOTR EEs. Will start as soon as Quasi-Daughter arrives. I hope the pizza places are open today.
