Reasons to make the O_o Face

There are times when you read, see or hear something that just makes you  :o. This is the thread to share them on!

The other day I don't know where I stumbled on a thread discussing the Nancy Drew novels. I remembered how much I loved them and I did a little research...which led me to the original publishers, who also published the Hardy Boys and the Bobbsey Twins. All written by a cadre of ghost writers under cover names. Then I found a link to an audio book of one of the Bobbsey Twins stories, which I loved when I was a kid. I listened to it for old times' sake. The  :o happened when the author described little Flossie-aged-four's collection of dolls, among which was a black Sambo doll given to her by the family's "coloured cook Dinah, and her husband the stableman, Sam." Who had "excellent rooms above the stables." They had given her this black worsted ragdoll (named Jujube) which she kept with her other dolls..."but apart, at the other end of the shelf, and with a nice  piece of white pasteboard in between--because, well, he wasn't really family."

:o  :o
The story goes on to state that Flossie had thought about giving Jujube away but didn't want to hurt Dinah's feelings; "and after all, as Mamma said, there weren't any doll hospitals for black orphan dolls."

No wonder the Bobbsey Twins books went out of fashion. Nancy Drew is still available today...but then there was nothing like that in them.

So, VWers, what made you :o    today?

sb where do you find these nar nar peeps? for realz

He's 66.

Back story: A good friend of mine in town looks forward to one night every month when we get together and have a "dinner and a movie," theme night.  She is an omnivore, but we always make vegan dinners, and she loves and appreciates the meals and their vegan-ness.  She gets excited: "When are we having another vegan dinner??!!"

She went to the doctor yesterday and he told her that her cholesterol is high.

I said, "You know who has low cholesterol?  Every vegan on the planet.  I'll loan you a couple of cookbooks and you'll have lower cholesterol in no time!"

She said, "Nah, I think I'm just going to take the pills they gave me."

:o :o :o

Jaw dropped.  She friggin' verbal-slapped me speechless.

9fs - I get this alot. My dear MIL said two days ago "i really need to do that but i could never do it." this is after my husband told her "mom, i have been vegan for a month, i have lost weight i feel so much better, it isn't that hard." it is tough.

my O_o : My husband went vegan for a month starting the day after we got married, as kinda a surprise wedding gift type thing. (he is choosing to eat seafood, but primarily vegan YAY) but he is advocating veganism to EVERYONE! I am not the pushy vegan, never have been.... but he sure the hell is! it is awesome.

my friend used to buy some brown Iodex at the mexican store and take a bottle cap and rub it on the mark until it would go away.  I can attest that it works.  I second the scarf.  It's easier.

I had an ex boyfriend who called to tell me that he had a contest with his friends that a vacuum cleaner wouldn't give him a hickey, and THAT'S why he had a hickey on his neck..from a vacuum cleaner. (it definitely wasn't from me)
