So I came to work early, and am wasting time surfing… I found a story about Yeti [here](http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=26764). About 1/2 way down the page there is a picture of a monk with the caption “A monk at the All Seeing Eye poses with a toy Yeti.” Huh! That Yeti looks familiar! It took me a minute to realize why it looked so familiar… Just thought I’d share.🆒 ---

You know, this puts me in mind of a young lady I knew in college. Beth, her name was. She lived in the same dorm with the future Mrs. Dave-Guy. We were all friends. Well, the other girls in the dorm nicknamed her “Bumble.” Because, well, you see, Beth bounced. ---

My son has one of those. It was the only thing on his Santa list. He wanted a “Bumble Snowmonster.” ---

I have a Bumble BobbleBody sitting (well, standing) on my desk. Target sold them last Christmas & Mr. Pol bought him for me. What’s a BobbleBody? Like a bobblehead… but his whole body (waist up) bobbles. :: Adds BobbleBody to list of fun words to say :: ---

Yeah, **Poli** , I have a bobble-body doll too. My daughter gave it to me for Christmas. It’s not a Bumble, though. It’s Betty Boop in a grass skirt, holding a ukulele in front of her chest, which is a good thing, because it doesn’t appear she’s wearing anything other than the grass skirt. She’s a “Hula Boop!” And she sits on my computer monitor, along with the cool guys you sent me for Secret Santa. I got a serious thing about Betty Boop…
