1. Although this looks like a great outfit to wear shopping in any culture or store, it really isn't. There is a small child standing in front of this woman and the poor sales lady is saying to her, "Honey, your mama is scratching her butt cheeks and I'm having to look at that. Just take that cheap shirt made in Taiwan that I'm passing off as locally made and get out of my store".

2. This mailbox, while mirroring your interests and fascinating cultural upbringing, is not classy. You should never install one of these in front of your McMansion. Although one upside to this yard ornament is that most thugs think twice before robbing the occupants of a house that sports a 6 feet long firearm mailbox.

3. There is nothing, I repeat nothing, right about this look.
4. Word verification is the root of all evil of blogging. I know this. Trust me. I have a "three strikes and I'm out" rule. Do you have any idea how many times I cannot get your word verification right even with three tries? If you have to use it, I will muddle through. I don't like it - but I will. But, if you would chose to try to go without it for maybe a week and just see what might happen - that I would dearly love.

5. There is no place on television for either of these people. I know the networks do not give the average viewer much credit - but surely they realize we don't need or want to ever see these two again.

7. I like to multi-task as much as the next guy, and I am all for saving the environment, but this machine has gone too far.
8. Although these pants look great, they are not as comfortable as you would think. The zipper is cold and God help you if you zip it up the wrong way.

9. If you are lucky enough to look like the photo on the left and are raking in the money as an entertainer, it is never a good idea to let your inner Wolfman take over and end up looking, or acting, like the guy on the right. I don't care what chemicals may be running through your body, one day you're going to wake up and regret that decision.
10. And finally, because I always like to leave you with some real-world experience you can immediately put to use, naked hiking has been outlawed in a Swiss town called Appenzell-Innerrhoden. This is a real law recently enacted because apparently naked hiking is very popular among German tourists to the town. The officials have also imposed an immediate fine of 200 Swiss francs per occurrence. Still no word on where the naked hikers will be carrying said money.
And those are the 10 things I know. How about you?

Totally need to revamp my vacation plans now. Dang.
1. these were hilarious.
2. rosie odonell drives me crazy!
I know that you are brilliant ! How do I know this ? I just went back and looked at your Brilliance Issue for the 10th time ! Brilliant, baby !!!
Happy Monday !
(What was my brother-in-law doing on the beach in that mullet/thong get up ? He totally forgot the added accessory of the white zinc cream on his nose that he wore to last year's July 4th Pool Party ! What a fashion faux-pas !)
I actually thought that 3rd one was a manly looking woman...lol Scary.
You are a fount of all things wise. I've been strengthened by your testimony of things you know. Thanks for all the tips. :)
WHO, 3... I thought was some chick, but not... yuck! And who wants a washing machine above the toliet!
funny!
Funny! I like all of them, but I must have a favorite so I choose numbers 4 and 5. Word verification should be an illegal action in all senses of polite society. Donald Trump...what can I say that I haven't already said...except strongly dislikeable. And Rosie? Do I have to waste my typing energy with her? Hey. They kinda go together don't they.
This was funny! I repeat, this was soo funny! LOL! Thanks for the laugh! there isn't a favorite. Was there supposed to be? Erm, No? GOOD! LOL!
When i take over the world wearing speedos will be outlawed. Unless you are an olympic swimmer you should never wear anything that small in public!
Um, shoot, I can never have you over now, because my mailbox is just like that.
And hey, where did you find that hot pic of my husband on the beach? I thought we had lost that one.
I'm bummed about the ban on naked hiking but I am feeling relieved that you are word verification challenged like I am.
I get stressed from trying to figure out which letters are which.
(And I am rejected a lot so that makes me say bad words.)
My eyes..#3 is hurting my eyes! Lets hope he reads your blog and realizes what he has done wrong!!
You can do a meme any time! These are hilarious but so true! I hate word verification too - for the same reasons you mention.
Damn I can't take my vacation to Appenzell-Innerrhoden now. I was so looking forward to that naked hiking. Rosie and Donald not my favorite people either. And I am so glad I am going to heaven then because I want a chance at all those lovely desserts
Naked hiking should totally be legal...and if it were, taking a picnic lunch to the hiking areas and laughing hysterically at the naked people would be my new favorite thing to do!
Down with word verification!
4. What a relief! I thought there was something wrong with me because I have a hell of a time with word verifications. I almost started to believe that I was SPAM. Unfortunately, I don't know how to turn it off on my blog.
9. A crying shame is what that is.
Loved this! I need to check if I have the word verification thing and see if I can get rid of it!
Take care,
Julie
Those in fact are 10 useful things that I now know....thanks.
That is some kind of 10 things I know post. LOVE IT
Is that thong wearing stud also sporting a mullet? Oh my...
Joaquin, what happened? The David Letterman show was almost hard to watch.
Dang! No time to comment. I have to go online and cancel my trip to Appenzell-Innerrhoden.
Me? I personally know NOTHING!
It says a lot about the state of my appetite that the part of your post I remember most is the goodies one gets to sample waiting for the pearly gates to open. In fact my computer mouse is starting to look quite tasty at the moment!
Hey, now I know ten things. Awesome.
Wait! Actually, I do know one thing on my own. Eighteen-month-olds and Silly Putty don't mix well.
Thank you, thank you for #4 and 5!!
How did I miss that picture of the speedo guy! I even Googled "Man in Speedo." I feel so robbed.
Thanks for cheering me up. Your wit and humor are beyond measure.
And the mullet guy? He puts the whole saying "business in the front, party in the back" new meaning.
great, so moody teen walked by as i was reading #2, and of course, he disagrees with you. he thinks a mailbox in a gun sculpture is pure genius.
and i keep going back to look at #3. something about that hair that is so unsettling...
Word verification is a hateful mess! Although, I do like it when I get an actual word! LOL.
Clearly, you did not watch last nights premiere of The Apprentice. It was HYOOGE!
You are so funny girl! I love to start my Monday morning off on your site! God bless you, I am sure that heaven will have the best dessert cart ever as well!! You are so lovely - keep blogging!
Debbie, #3 was my favorite. Nothing like a mullet weraing, muscle packed man :0!
and what exactly IS that machine hooked to the toilet???
1. baby cheeks are delicious
2. the best way to get a toddler to do something is to take it away from her
3. oxyclean gets the baby poop out of the clothes
4.the week you finally schedule playdates for your kid, you get SNOWED. IN
5. Debbie is funny.
6. Debbie's humour is very, very random and dry.
7. eating carrot cake in the middle of the night is a sure way to be two pounds heavier in the morning.
8. babies always poop right before they fall asleep, leaving YOU with a dilemma.
9. you're never as grateful that your daughter speaks Chinese as the day she names your "girls" nai nai (milk)
10. The Google gods love Debbie!
This post is great and the pictures are awesome. Do you have the yellow pants with the zipper hanging in your closet? LOL!
#4 is so, so true.
Wait, they're all so true.
You are wise.
Well no hiking trip for me then. It's either nakid or nothing. That jogger....Ewwwww
One thing I know is that you make me laugh and I love you for that.
Word verification does suck.
Joaquin Phoenix probably thinks he's cleverly masking the extra pounds he put on.
hahahahahaha
There is so much to say about this post, that I'm not going to try.
Except, What on earth were they thinking with the toilet/washing machine? Although, I must admit that it would be excellent whilst in the throes of potty training, as I am now.
I also hate word verify. I fail at least once every time....and I swear they do it on purpose. I got rid of my word verify long ago (I had it because of blog spammers: sploggers? blammers?) and I was hoping everyone would follow suit, but I haven't been so lucky. What really irks is all the private blogs that have it.
I think I want to chuck it all and become a rapper. I could shorten my name to T-Mama.
9.
What can I say about 9
I loved 9.
Ugh! I didn't know naked hiking got outlawed, and am a little perturbed, as I have already purchased my plane tickets to Appenzell-Innerrhoden. I guess I better pack that awesome pink underwear I wear shopping for my trip. (thanks for posting that pic of my butt by the way...I think I look great in that outfit.)
Apparently there is no poison ivy in Appenzell-Innerrhoden or naked hiking would not be a problem.
Debbie? I think you know too much.
Word verification is the debil...if I can't get it through the first time, I'm done. That's one less comment for that blogger.
Can't stand The Donald and Rosie. Unfortunately, I may have some public sightings of him. He just bought a golf course that the kids and I walk by most evenings after dinner.
Ok, the other thing wrong about #3 is that he looked like he just gave birth to the Toddler. :)
Thanks for the huge monday morning chuckle.
Bless you for showering us with your brilliance!
Amen on #5. And on #6---yes please. Someone told me once they don't think we'll have to eat in heaven. I'm pretty sure it won't be heaven if I CAN'T eat.
Just what I need on a Monday morning!! Thank you!
And worse in #3 is a speedo with the 'Star and Stipes' emblazened in all the appropriate 'parts'-saw it in Fla. once. made my blood curdle.
Hilarious! And brilliant!
I now know the ten things that you know...
Well all I can say is thank goodness I took out travel insurance for my summer plans of Swiss hiking au naturale!
(Too funny all around, Deb!)
Oh gawd, I needed that. Especially on this crappy snowy monday. Thank you, thank you.
And dear lord, please tell me that washing machine does not, I repeat, does NOT use toilet water to clean those clothes.
:) robin
cinnamon & honey
These are awesome. I actually saw an old man at the beach last summer wearing one of those nasty bikini's. Yikes! I was scared. LOL! Thanks for making me smile today.
Brilliant!
hee hee heeeeeeeeee
Lucky the snow missed you!! Really!
I love the comment on Mullet Speedo guy. And you're right about Joaquin Phoenix.
You featured a lot of bathing suits here.. have summer on the brain?! (I do! )
you are such a hoot! always love reading you! you're a great writer and a funny, funny lady!
OH, you are too witty!!
LOL @ the guy w/ the mullet on the beach!!
That's hilarious how you found these photos! Your captions were perfect!
A gun shaped mail box. Really?
Who thought that was cool?
Naked hiking and a speedo mullet.
Your blog covered all the bases today.
LOL!!! Thanks for the laughs!!!
Now see, I'm totally not confused, but that's because the shopper in underwear totally set the tone for the rest of your article. Note to self: Find sexier pics for your own blog.
I agree with you, Rosie and Donald should just disappear, never to be heard of again!!
Thank you for visiting my blog and you are welcome anytime to stop by and eat, just don't come pregnant with twins - lol I read your previous post.
You have a wonderfully funny blog and I will be a loyal reader!
That's not a mailbox. That's a cry for help!
No more naked hiking? Darn!
You crack me up.
Word verification: I am SO with you one that!!
the top 2 questions that come to mind are
1) How do you know about the naked hiking ordinance? Were you part of the problem?
2) Do you think Mr. Wolfman is putting on an act, mentally ill, or that strung out? What's your take?
Thanks for the words of encouragement. Nice to know I'm not the only delusional mind out there. . .5k [laughing, head shaking].
Wow! I don't even know what to do w/ all this newfound knowledge. Need to start researching a new mailbox.
I loved this post...By the way thanks for wishing me well!
I would guess that the person with the gun for a mailbox is not a supporter of gun laws and is probably a member of the NRA...that's just a guess though.
When I took a closer look at the fabulous dessert cart (and boy, do I hope you're right on that one), I was thrilled to see that we get Bailey's and Kahlua with our treats while waiting.
You know lots of fun things!
I loved your '10 things' post. Thanks for the laugh...I needed one today! ;)
Thanks for the laugh. I totally needed it today.
This is my first time here. I think I love you.
This was great! I know, what happened to JP? And yeah, I curse the word verication! If it needs to be done, how about just shortening the words?
"There is nothing, I repeat nothing, right about this look."
Hahaha ... what was he thinking?
You couldn't be more right about D.T. and R. O'D.
What? No fried potatoes at the pearly-gates?
Best Meme ever! Next time do it to twenty, I was sad when it was over!
I totally agree with the word verficiation. Oh my God! Nuts!
LOL! It suddenly occurred to me that if I had word verification on my blog, I wouldn't have any way of knowing - so I went hunting for it in the depths of my dashboard and sure enough, there it was (somewhere. I forget exactly where I found it.) So I disabled it. I think.
You are so friggin' funny! These were great!
You do a meme right. And Word verification makes me feel like the biggest moron on earth. A blind one.
I actually snorted looking at Mullet Man and his speedo! Flippin hilarious! I got rid of my word verification! Woo hoo!
Poor Joaquin..I used to adore him...I'm just not into werewolves...especially incoherent ones...just too dang sad...
Another brilliant post!
I sent you that photo of me in my bikini in strictest confidence.
I need to know which beach the thing on the beach is frequenting so I can avoid it at all costs.
I'm with you on the word ver. And what's the point of using word ver if you're also moderating comments. That just seems like overkill.
Debbie, Thanks for stoppin' by my blog. I've really enjoyed readin' some of your posts. Loved today's Suburb Sanity. And the Houseguest Who Didn't Know When to Leave was especially good. You have a great blog and I'll deffinitely be back. Hope you stop in again.
Sorry I spelled definitely wrong, didn't see the extra f in there until it posted. We Hillbilly's really do know how to spell!
U ARE true hilariment! Love it. :-) Thanks for being so kind about Hannah's singing. She loved it...and I loved it, so I wanted to share ... :-)
I totally agree with number 4! word verification is evil!
You are hilarious!
Love #5 especially. And the 3 strikes you're out rule!
Kim Mailhot says #3 is her brother-in-law . . . but I would swear it's David Hasselhoff, running off a hang-over. Err, sorry Kim M. Maybe Hasselhoff is your brother-in-law? In which case, he is a lovely man. Truly lovely. And so brave.
Yeah,um no. No naked hikers. Not outside at least. ;)
What I know that can add to your unfathomable library of knowledge: um . . . sorry, you know a lot more than me.
I'm crushed. Why don't I know anything? Shit.

I'm crushed. Why don't I know anything? Shit.
You ALWAYS make me laugh out loud until I come close to dropping the laptop. Next time will be prepared and start out sitting on the floor!
I love your blog.
Oh my gosh!! These are sooooooo funny!!
You did it again! Laughing out loud...
I know I hate word verification also.
I know I'd like to go shopping with you dressed like that.
Let me rephrase: shopping with YOU dressed like THAT :)
You are brilliant. And filled with knowledge. The world would be a much better place if more people would listen to you!
Ummm, hon, did you realize that half your "10 things" list involve the crotch/butt-ox area (if you include The Donald's head)? :)
Okay, naked hiking I understand. But tourist naked hiking? As in going to a completely strange place and hiking naked? That I cannot support, and I stand by that.
Oh..your blog is GREAT! Thanks for dropping by mine - I am new to blogging as well! Clearly lot of room for growth! But I appreciate your visit. I will be following you!
audrey
Oh very nicely done! I'm quite impresssed! But ummm where do I start? With the mullet or the Speedo? Or the bad tan? Or overly muscley fat stuff? You realize you've just given me nightmares, right?
Um, was that Britney in #1? And the flush-o-mat laundry? I'm nauseous. Really nauseous just thinking about it. I LOVE when you tear a meme up Miss Debbie.
Blessings, Carolynn
I love this blog. I really do.
Call me crazy, but something about #9B is totally hot. But don't call me crazy enough to find #3 hot.
Those were hilarious! And yes, I wonder where the hikers are carrying their money too.....enquiring minds want to know...
OMG did #3 just do a number 2 that looks like a small toddler?
The sunburned mullet man in a speedo was too much for me. I had to stifle laughter or wake my husband who would be yelling at me for still being on the computer. Thank a lot.
Well I know you are hilarious! Thanks for the laughs.
What is it with Germans and no clothes? While they are at it, they need to ban Germans in speedos. Seriously. Is there an international law/governing body we could petition to make this so?
Great list. Thanks for the laugh today.
Joaquin, Joaquin...sniff...
I caught the whole Letterman interview. Gotta give props to Dave for keeping it entertaining.
Of course, at my age, I feel for his mother. She already lost one son to the evils of Hollywood.
Joaquin is one of my current heartbreaks. Why? WHY???!!!
*sniffle*
Did you see Ben Stiller's portrayal of Joaquin at the Oscar's? Pretty funny. I still don't understand WHAT is up with him.
And Debbie...you amaze me with your wealth of knowledge every time you post. :)
I hear you on the word verification thing ... when the letters are all squishy and run together I stand little or no chance of getting my comment through.
And I'm looking forward to that heavenly dessert cart! (Please let me go, God! Please let me go!)
And you are right ... those pants are a bitch to zipper! I can't tell you how many times I came thisclose to losing some very important pieces that I prefer to keep.
You...Are...A...Comedy...Goddess!
Golly your such a popular gal! But I have to leave my thought that.....
I loved it!!! I haven't laughed like that in awhile, and I really needed that today! Thanks, oh and I thought that guy was a girl too.
A mullet AND a speedo. He should be executed.
This was a funny post to read and God knows I needed some humor this morning (as my kids are running around naked and I just don't have the energy to dress them).
I totally agree with your thoughts on the dude walking on the beach with a speedo. And same with those low-waisted zipper pants! And is it my imagination or does Rosie O'Donnell look uncharacteristically thin in that pic???
I'm hosting a giveaway on my blog - I'd love it if you'd come check it out!
AMEN to Trump and Rosie!
Now, if they'd put a microwave on top of the washing machine, life would be perfect.
Dude. I was totally going to go hiking there next week.
Thanks for bursting my bubble.
I am so tagging you with my next meme. One of my all-time favorite posts from you was the list you created of things you have done.
You should create a entire series of these posts. Do them more regularly.
-Francesca
PS: In my blog travels today, I saw that you left a comment about how drinking may be affecting your commenting. I am glad to know that we share the same affliction.
So I have to change everything that defines me? Just kidding!
Ohhh please may the word verification go away! Why in the world to people have it?? They COULD trash the few spams and save the rest of us one big pain in the ass. Having word verification is anti-blogging and takes up my time ... arggggg
There - I feel much better now!
Funny post!! ... and hello from SpeedyCat :-)
The only reason I can see for that mailbox is they get lots of long long skinny mail.
And I TOTALLY AGREE on the guy beach thong. There is just noooo need for that whoatsoever. Never.
The thong on the beach, yuck. Rosie O'Donnel, yuck. The word verification, double yuck. Your great mind, love it!!
Oh how I love you. Mr. Phoenix is totally pulling a Kaufman. Is that how you spell Kaufman? Well anyway, I think he is. It's gotta be a hoax. Or mental illness...
Ha! I loved especially, well, really all of them, but #6 hit me hard as I am so stinkin hungry! To eat anything I want and not get fat. I will love that. Have a blessed day! Here is to that cup of coffee and good cry! Amy
Ahh man, but I like the wolverine look Debbie! Shoot. Hold on as I go and shave my beard off. xoxo Wonderful, hilarious and very creative post.
the number of comments you have has out shocked my reaction to The Bachelor last night.
LOL! Yeppers-I'd say you're good for about a dozen entries in my giveaway! I so enjoy that you decide to pop in daily!
Oh my! #6.... thank you. I'm ready to go NOW!
5 & 9 have me hysterical!
You are so smart...thanks for sharing those. I may not be able to close my eyes again without seeing "speedo" man and dreaming of nude hikes. YIKES.... BUT... i wonder if there is a need for wrapping paper clothes there???? i could make millions selling cover-ups to hikers so they won't get fined.....You ARE brilliant!!
Ok.... I kinda like the freaky wolfman... I'm weird.
Those are scary! Is that toilet/ washer thing real?
You outdid yourself today. And you are seriously funny.
I took a bunch of stuff off my site to make my page load faster, and totally overlooked the biggest time-watter. I'm removing wv as soon as I get home.
I don't know much...but I do wish I knew what in the hell happened to Mr. Phoenix!
LOL! Great list.
Thank you for #4. Maybe some don't know how to disable it?!
If I never saw RO DT on tv again, it would be too soon.
And what IS up with the wolfman routine?!
Those are VERY important thing to share!!
The Swiss are soooo prudish.
The Swiss are soooo prudish.
The Swiss are soooo prudish.
The Swiss are soooo prudish.
I agree with everything you said. This I know.
Um, yeah, that #3--I think urped up a little on that one...
Blessings!
I thought the issue was you had to wear boots. Then you're not naked and no more tourists clogging up the ER with splinters.
That mailbox is mighty impressive. Wow.
You are so funny. Of course, helpful too as you saved me from making some pointless vacation plans.
All good to know. Thank you for sharing your wisdom with us. I dumped the word veri. I haven't had any spam since. I had it a couple times with tho.
as for #10 it's gotta be an act. when i met him he was very normal. completely sane. too bad the act's not funny!!
omg.. mullet and a thong.. my eyes need to recover!!
omg.. mullet and a thong.. my eyes need to recover!!
haha, what is it with handsome holly-wood types uglying up for fun?
i, too, hate word verification--and they seem to be getting longer and more convaluted. i think you've inspired me to take mine off! do you get much spam without it?
hahaha!! awesome post! I needed a laugh today and that definitely worked.
You know WAY more than I do! Too funny!
And, I hate word verification, too!! Drives me nuts. I would add that I hate the "no-reply" response, too! I want to respond to comments, but not on my blog.
That's all I know!
Where, oh where do you find/stumble upon these pictures?
What an excellent post! And i am so with you about word verification.
I love your blog! You are HI LAR I OUS!! Found you thru another friends site and so glad I did. I became a follower so I hope you dont mind.
Please feel free to visit us at Fort Thompson anytime. You are always welcome.
God Bless.
I was laughing at your list until I came to number 10. Seriously? Naked hiking? Who does that? Who would want to do that? It might be fine if you were the person in the lead, but what about the poor guys who have to bring up the rear and........ugh. :)
too funny...
3. Is that Joey Buttafuoco with a mullet and a thong speedo? Someone should be shielding that poor kid's eyes.
4. I took off word ver and haven't had any trouble.
5. No comment...
9.So sad. What a waste.
I hate word verification, but I hate that sort of embedded google/blogger sign-in thingy, because it NEVER works the first time. The old one (like yours) is better.
