I’ve loved marshmallow peeps. These days you can get them in dozens of different flavors, including some mystery flavors. I got a box of the 2016 mystery flavor #1 from Wal-Mart and I think it tastes like s’mores.

Cam Newton Can’t Stop Smiling

Cam Newton is getting ready for his first trip to the Big Game. I don’t think he’s worried about how he’ll perform, he’s just gonna go out there and have some fun. Here’s why he can’t stop smiling:

“I just can’t stop smiling because God has his hands on me,” Newton said after a near fatal truck accident in 2014. “I’m on somebody’s fantasy league. And I think it’s the man upstairs. It’s great to walk away from something like that.”

This is one of these situations that makes me shake my head and say, “What were they thinking?” You can be darn sure that NASCAR would never invite her to sing at the Daytona 500!

Church of Global Warming

What elements do you need before you can call something a religion?

Saint-AlFirst, you need a figurehead, a leader. The Church of Global Warming (COGW) has Al Gore. He’s their High Priest. Al has sway over his followers just like Sun Myung Moon has over the Moonies in the Unification Church.

Second, you need a symbol and a Holy Book. Christians have the cross and the Bible. Muslims have the crescent and the Koran. Jews have the Star of David and the Talmud. COGW has the hockey stick and “An Inconvenient Truth.”

I really like these new “Calvin and Hobbes” comics mashed up with “Star Wars: The Force Awakens.” See more on Brian Kesinger’s Instagram feed.

Elf on a Shelf Review

Here’s the funniest review I’ve seen on Amazon.com:

Question:
My Elf on the Shelf keeps telling me to burn the house down. Is this normal?
Answer:
Mine told me the same thing– so we hid him in the fireplace. Our nightmare is over now, and we can go back to enjoying the Holidays without the stress of hiding a homicidal doll every night.
