an assorted medley of DZER's day ...

Something that always totally unnerves me: I'm driving in one direction; a cop car approaches from the opposite direction. We pass each other. I look in the driver's side mirror to see brake lights, the cop car move into the center lane, then take a U-turn in my direction.

Unsettling. Even if I'm not speeding or doing something else wrong. Especially if you see the lights blaze to life. Always a relief when the patrol vehicle speeds by, responding to some call.

A grand total of zero offers on the Palauan wine, aged under the cool, calm waters of the Pacific Ocean.

Guess my readership is more of a shot-and-beer crowd. LOL

The bottle of Merlot, therefore, is going to My Favorite Person, who said she'd top any bid. Since the top bid was zero, I'll make her pay a pretty penny for the wine. No, seriously, a penny; shiny and pretty. I'll expect that soon, lady!! LOL

OK, so the next item that I'm putting up for "bid" is this adorable little DzMonster. He's shades of blue and green and is roughly 12 inches tall, from butt to the top of his little deely-bopper antennae. Besides just being cute, and of course, owned by DZER, he actually serves a rather practical purpose.

Yes, he is utile as well as fun for the eyes (and little kids and chew-happy pets, I'm sure). You see, his tummy unzips to reveal little sleeves in which you can insert your DVDs or CDs. There are 12-double sided disc sleeves, which means you can fit 24 of your favorite moview or albums safe inside his belly.

Do I have any offers? Anyone? Bueller ... Bueller ... Bueller ...

I'm sorry folks, but I think "The Rock" is cool. Maybe because his first name is Duane.

Heh.

Was just watching "The Rundown" on FX ... what a badass! LOL

Oh ... and Christopher Walken is just plain freaky!

Interesting, no? No, I didn't think so either ... and yet I shared! LOL
