Cop Clinging Cat: It was a bold and brazen attack on a Texas cop. While he was conducting a traffic stop and writing out a citation, the assailant attacked. He's described as black, small, with four legs and a flea collar. As you can probably surmise, it was a cat. The cop was pretty patient while the kitty climbed all over him while he did his job. It was caught on a police dashcam and I believe the cat is up for administrative review. Watch the kitty "attack" the cop

Extra Kitty Video: We've all seen the video before of the cat stalking it's owner. But someone has added some dramatic music to make it funny. Watch the video

Toast Timewaster: Since we're on a food theme, a friend sent me a Timewaster. Don't know where he got but Rich N. wrote: "Everyone's heard about the image of Jesus reflected in a refrigerator or the Virgin Mary burned into a piece of toast. Now you can make your own virtual toast with a celebrity's image burned into it" with CoolToast.com. You can choose from the popular Jesus and Mary, as well as other religious figures and Wolf Blitzer, for some strange reason.

Avoiding Turkey Day Clogs: Thanks to Benjamin Franklin Plumbing for this link. If you want to avoid Thanksgiving Day clogs when the family shows up to eat all your food next week, BFP has some helpful tips for what you should avoid putting down the drain, besides grease and turkey bones.

Picture of the Day: Coca-Cola has a new product on the market, but it's not available in stores (wink). It involves bacon. Enough said.

Crazy Sandwiches: A listener sent me a link with a short note that said only "Goofy site." And guess what folks. She's right. It's a collection of insane sandwiches (at Insanewiches.com) and being a sandwich lover myself (turkey, avocado, bacon combos are heavenly), I love this link. You'll see sandwiches shaped like puzzle pieces fitted together. And since it's the holiday season, you really need to check out the Giftwich. It's Dagwood style in terms of size, but it looks like one heck of present if you like ham and cheese sandwiches. And don't skip The East Meets West Dog. It may look like sushi, but it's really a hot dog.

Mail Order Food: If you can't make it home for the holidays, but you would really love to send a dish anyway, try Zingerman's. Zingermans has mail order food that looks pretty delicious and one of our listeners absolutely recommends their Sour Cream Coffee Cake. I say, if you can't make to your mom's, send a coffee cake.

Recipe Repository: Found this Web site goofing around my iPhone last night. It's called Big Oven. It has more than 170,000 recipes and you can post and rate your favorite recipes.

Funny Thanksgiving Video: You know, it's funny what you can find on the Internet. And I thought, there's a plethora of Christmas videos, but is there a funny Thanksgiving video? Yes. It's a commercial from the folks at Jennie-O. All I know is, mom and the turkey go at it and dad gets caught in the crossfire. Watch the video

Turkey Comedian: I've found the world's only turkey comedian. Yes, he's corny and silly. But he's pretty amusing and safe for the whole family and the office. My favorite joke is the last one. Watch the video

Pet Christmas Stuff: Someone asked me, Click Chick, does Fezziwig the wonderdog have a stocking to hang by the chimney with care? And I said, "Wait a minute. It will be our first Christmas together, so of course, I have to get him one." But not just any dog stocking. So, I went to NextTag which has links to alll kinds of sites that have stockings for your pets - cats too.

Web Surfing While Driving?: If you think we have a problem with people texting while they're driving, then get ready folks. There's now something called the Laptop Steering Wheel Desk. I hope, if you chose to use this, it's because you're tired of the boss, so you've decided to work in your car - while parked - in the office parking lot.

Conspiracy Theory of the Week: Last week, it was Obama was meeting with aliens - and not the illegal kind. Today's conspiracy theory is from the mailbag. I won't tell you what the conspiracy is because I haven't figured it out yet, but a guy claims to be giving away free survival kits because he obviously thinks the end is near. But the best part was what he wrote about himself in the email. He's a polygamist who compares himself to Nostradamus. He wrote: "If you care about saving your listeners lives then call me. I don't want to talk about how many wives I have, or how many dozen kids have my DNA. Or how much $$ I make." Well, what is there to talk about?

Another Conspiracy: Finland's minister of health thinks the Swine Flu vaccine is a conspiracy to generate profits for drug manufacturers and enact population control. Her video interview is going around the world. I, personally, think she's a little kooky. Her interview is in English. Watch the video...

Free Martha Cookbook: How would you like a free Martha Stewart Thanksgiving Hotline Cookbook? I've got the link to download the PDF for you to peruse at your leisure for free. There are five chapters including soups & starters, sides & salads, turkey & entrees. And it's not a 20 page pamphlet either. It's a full on book.

Turkey Timewaster: It's called Turkey Escape 2009 and apparently it was just released today, so there are no instructions yet. It looks fun, but I haven't figured out how to play it. If you do, give me some tips.

Christmas Songs You May Never Have Heard Of, Pt. 2: I got this link to sent to me from Randy S. from Laveen. It's a song by three guys in a group called Go Fish who don't like phrase "Happy Holidays." I think it's safe to say this is a Christian group with a name like Go Fish. Needless to say, someone has actually heard the song because it's had more than 11.3 million hits on YouTube.

X-Mas Songs You May Never Have Heard Of, Pt. II: Now, I remember the song from years ago, "All I Want for Christmas Is My Two Front Teeth." But this one is pretty self-explanatory what one little munchkin wants - a hippo. You can put that in the kids iPods for the long drive to grandpa's house for the holidays. Now, it's not quite "Chimpanzee Riding on a Segway," but it's kinda catchy. Apparently, it's from 1953

I'm a PANK!: now, apparently, the click chick has been told she's not a cougar or black panther or a puma. but apparently, I am a PANK that's an acronym for - Professional Aunt, No Kids. My nephews and nieces have figured this out and treat me like a huge walking wallet. KTAR reporter Colton Shone did a story on savyauntie.com - the site for panks. This PANK likes that it has holiday gifts for under $10-$20. However, aunties are for buying kids stuff that you know your parents won't. But what does the Click Chick shop, besides Amazon for books. I love Overstock.com, because they usually have free or $1 shipping. SmartBargains is good too. I've suggested time and again to use sales aggregators, such as RetailMeNot. Before you by anything go there.

Webby List: The Webby Top 10 Most Influential Internet Moments of the Decade from 2000 to 2009. For 2008 it was the historic election of President Barack Obama and in 2009, it was the Iranian Election Protests. On a side note, 5 people in Iran were sentenced to death for fomenting dissent following the re-election of Mahmood Ahmedinejad - or as KTAR host Gaydos calls him Aquavelvejad.

Yet Another Bacon Link: Two people sent me notes about this back-to-back so I must post this online because - It's a bacon link and my love for bacon is renowned Valley wide. Apparently, the makers of bacon salt and the Baconnaise, also have bacon flavored envelopes called "MMMvelopes." Let me read from the site: "So, after thousands of years and kajillions of horrible tasting envelopes licked, we're happy to report that J&D's Bacon-Flavored Mmmvelopes™ are here to save the day. No longer will envelopes taste like the underside of your car. You can enjoy the taste of delicious bacon instead."

Timewaster That Doesn't Require A Computer: I don't have another crazy holiday song, but I just may have something to keep the kids or the adults who complain too much over the holidays busy if you only have one TV and 15 ideas about you should watch. Try the common names game. Someone scribed the common names of some Christmas songs and you can figure out what they are. So, if you heard "Listen! The celestial harbingers produce harmonious sounds" you would really be listening to "Hark! The Herald Angels Sing."

Before You Give: If you're thinking of giving to a charitable cause this holiday season (and I know you are because, you dear readers, are a generous sort), check out Give.org. It's part the BBB's Wise Giving Alliance. It's checks out major charities, lists reports and standards and has a listing of charity complaints and reviews. Their goal is to help "donors make informed giving decisions and advances high standards of conduct among organizations that solicit contributions from the public."

The Birds & The Bees, According to Ms. Teen SC: And remember this Caitlan Upton? Sure you do. She's the former Ms. Teen South Carolina who famously answered a question about geography with "The Iraq, and such as..." Well, she had a sense of humor about it and the teen has done TV segments making fun of herself. So, she did a segment Jimmy Kimmel Live on to learn where babies come from. You'll never guess who she asked. Yes, the Octumom, who went to explain how IVF works by using milk, eggs and an oven (This is from a late night TV show, so it's TV 14.). Watch the video...

Webby Award-Winning Blog: So, what won the Webby Award for best culture/personal blog? No, the Click Chick is still the Susan Lucci of bloggers. I've been passed over again (except, Susan Lucci finally one one a few years ago)... Anyhow, according to the Webby folks, it's Post Secret where people are encouraged to put their secrets on a postcard and send them in. All I have to say is, some people have some serious secrets that may land them in divorce court, some are quite sad and some are heart-warming. This is not for the tame. You've been warned.

It's Bacon-Flavored Spread: The Click Chick got her first Chanukah gift of the season. It's Baconnaise - bacon flavored spread. And I know what you're saying. Bacon never has been and never will be kosher. Well, this version of bacon is approved by the Orthodox Union, which clearly doesn't mind that it's has 9 grams of fat per tablespoon. I have thank my friend Ken for that present. That means I now have to get him 8 presents which will consist of a Krispy Kreme donut everyday. I'm so glad I looked up the link online, did you know that Thursday, November 19 is The J&D's Bacathon? It's from 9 to midnight, but I don't know where. Bacathletes will compete for a good cause. If it was in PHX, I would be there.

Hamster Hotel: Time to practice your French. If you've ever had the secret desire to be a hamster, there is a hotel in France that will let you live out that fantasy. It has one of those automatic water feeders if you need a drink of water (it's human-sized of course), they will give you a hamster hat to wear. And of course, there's a giant human-sized treadmill for you to run around on. And on the menu, grains. Of course, you get to sleep on hay. You know, I think I'll stick with the Ritz. Watch the video...

Online Shopping Tips: It's 38 days to Christmas. And coworkers sister says, they best thing about that is in 39 days it will be over. And I know what you're thinking, Click Chick, you're just a Xmasaholic. It's not even Thanksgiving. But I'm here to help you. Don't wait until the last minute. I found an MSN Holiday Shopping article chock full of tips. #1 - Make your Black Friday plans now. #2 - And if thinking about getting some electronics and if you're on Twitter, you have ot follow Best Buy at Twelpforce. #3 - Many retailers are offering discounted or free shipping, so make sure you check that before ordering. And FYI, Amazon says their Black Friday sales actually start on the Monday BEFORE Thanksgiving.

Cute Kid Dancing Video: Now, from time to time, there are videos of little kids dancing that tickle our funny bones and make us say the classic Ned Foster line "Oh My Word...." Well, I have a new entry to the cute dancing kid video files. It's called "Baby Dancing the Stanky Legs." And I have to say, he's go a future on Dancing with the Stars, but not until he graduates from wearing pull ups. But I don't know what's funnier, the fact that the toddler is dancing on the table in a pull up or the fact that he really has some moves. Watch the video...

Pole Dance Gone Wrong: And I've found the funniest video on the planet. You know, people say to keep your marriage alive you have to keep the fun in your marriage. Well, before you install a dancing poll in the middle of the living room, it can support your weight. Yes, the video is safe for PG audiences.

Get Your Own Color: How would you like your own color? This Web site gives each visitor their own personal color and it becomes a part of the Internet rainbow. Basically, you'll be your own ray of light. And this is a site for people who have visions of sugar plums and rabbits dancing in the rain.

Something's Gone Wrong: Let's start with Grape Stomping Gone Wrong. It's from a news report where the morning reporter was on a stand with another woman stomping grapes promoting an upcoming event. Here's my question. Where is the safety net? I've done that on TV before, but I was on the ground and I didn't fall. That video has gotten more than 5 million hits on YouTube.

Something's Gone Wrong, Pt. 2: Now, we've all seen the numerous videos of people doing their version of... We've seen guys in leotards grooving to it. We've seen babies in diapers getting down to it. Even Justin Timberlake got into the act. But I've found a video that proves there are several things you don't do while wearing a clown mask. One, robbing a Quik E Mart. Number two, don't imitate Beyonce's dance moves when you can pop your head on the edge of a nearby flat screen TV. All I can say is, ouch! Watch the video...

Timewaster: It's the virtual stapler. They've got three kinds - old-fashioned to new. Just move your cursor over it and it staples thin air and makes a sound for you. There are also interesting stapler products on the site. Now, I think I may have posted this before, but just in case I haven't, this is for you.

LFL: Now, the sports report that Paul Calvisi wouldn't dare give you. While perusing the news from my hometown of San Diego, I found something about a San Diego football team that surprised me. In the Western conference, they are 0-2 and next to the bottom of the standings. No, I'm referring to the Chargers who are not 0-2. I'm referring to the LFL's San Diego Seduction. They're part of the Lingerie Football League. The question is, why is there even a LFL?

After Long Last, Another Bacon Link: Have you guys noticed something's been missing from the Click Chick segments of late? I mean, I believe it's been over two or three weeks since I mentioned the one thing I'm really known for more than my keen wit and devastating beauty - OK, yeah, that was a stretch. But really, when was the last time I mentioned bacon? Bacon. I love you and it's been awhile. But thanks to listener Janie Hughes, I've a got a new bacon link (at least I think it's new, I've posted so many). It's the incredimazing Bacon Flowchart. Is it useful for something (maybe). Not really, but it's pretty funny.

Not Mensa Ready?: If you think E=MC2 is Mariah Carey's new album (and not the theory of relativity) or if you think the Pythagorean theorem is a mixed drink. And if you're sick of being rejected by Mensa, why not try the Not Mensa - the interplanetary society for the stupid? They "provide a forum for dim-witted, mindless exchange between our low IQ members. It's activities include the exchange of silly jokes, discussions on irrelevant topics, mindless ponderings about trivia..." The society believes that "even the dumb and the ignorant are geniuses." You know, I think I know some members. Just for fun, you can take the real Mensa's Fun Test.

Timewaster: It's silly and a quintessentially Click Chick Certified Timewaster because it really is a waste of time. I don't even know what you call it. All you do is press a button and a big horned sheep will do an acrobatic flip across your screen. A listener wrote: "For real office fun, wait til a coworker walks away from the 'puter and reset his/her homepage to that, or something equally annoying." That's a practical joke I can live with. I'm going to try that with the boss's computer.

Hacking Britney: And poor Britney Spears keeps getting hacked. At least, her Twitter and MySpace accounts were hacked and some nefarious soul posted messages that she worships the devil. Read the story...

2012 - A True Disaster of a Film: For the record, the Click Chick saw "2012" last night and left a tad angry. Not only was it overly long, it was overwrought and overly silly. So, silly you might leave thinking it's a comedy and it's not. Do you think I can sue for my 2 1/2 hours back that I spent watching that? You're better off watching "The Poseidon Adventure," "The Towering Inferno" and "Evan Almighty" at the same time.

Toys for Tots: I follow the Marine Corps on Twitter because well, my brother was one of the few, the proud. The USMC has posted a link for Toys for Tots and I'm going to post it too because every child should have a happy Christmas.

Shopping Deals: I know, many of you can't wait for Black Friday or Cyber Monday (which I think should be national paid holiday). Well, you don't have to according to dealnews.com "where every day is Black Friday." Their claim: "We scour over 2,000 online retailers and tens of thousands of deals to deliver the best 100+ deals each and every day." So, there you go. The dealnews.com editor also suggests you check Twitter and Facebook for pre-Black Friday deals from your favorite retailers. They've got some posted online.

Turkey Day Site: Now, I'm sure glad that grocery strike was averted. Who wants a grocery strike right before Thanksgiving? Speaking of Turkey Day, check out Holidays.net's Thanksgiving page. It's got Recipes, pictures to print out for the kids to color, top rated stuffing and all kinds of Thanksgiving related information.

Letter for the Troops: Got this email yesterday afternoon, but I wanted to share it anyway because we should thank our veterans everyday. Gus wrote: "I wanted to share a website with you. It was created by State Farm and is called thanksforbeingthere.com. This site allows anyone to create a message thanking current and past military personnel for their service. As a bonus, for each message that is created State Farm will donate $1.00 to the Fisher House. A home away from home where military families can stay while their loved ones are hospitalized. "

Hit Song: And overheard on America in the Morning on KTAR before the morning show today, I heard about the Oak Ridge Boys singing "GI Joe and Lillie." It's about one fo the band member's parents. And it's more than 1.5 million hits. It's a song for military families and you might need a hanky.

Star Wars Stuff: As Christmas and Hannukah approach, you gotta start making your list and checking it twice. And guaranteed there will be one Star Wars fan in your family and circle of friends. So, get them some stuff from the Star Wars Shop online. A listener wants to get the garden Jawa to keep his dog in line. But I recommend the DJ Yoda t-shirt or the Tauntaun sleeping bag (guts not included -- if you've seen Empire Strikes Back, you know what I'm talking about). Just check out shop.starwars.com.

Radiation Protector: Got this link from Daily Candy. It came with the note, "Doesn't fry your brain." What is it? It's an iPhone cellphone case that's allegedly "The first scientifically-proven radiation reduction case." Check out pongresearch.com

The Cute Animal Moment: It's called Cats and Dogs and its just darn cute video of cats and dogs. You know, there's nothing like seeing the family cat and dog cuddling up together in your bed...where you know that they know that they're not supposed to be there, but they do it anyway because you're at work.

Email Spy: Wow. I found something that might change your life or your relationship status. Have you ever wondered if someone has actually read the email that you sent to them? Well, enter Spy Pig. It's a free tracking service that sends you a note and lets you know when he or she has read your email. I don't think it's anonymous as you have to put the Spy Pig image in your email that you send out. So, hopefully, that person has never heard of Spy Pig.

Carrie vs. Larry: Former Miss California Carrie Prejean was on Larry King Live talking about her new book. She'd recently settled a lawsuit with the pageant. And you know how those settlements go, you can't talk about the details. But they got into it over WHY she settled. She even threatened to walk out during the interview. Note, if you watch the video, you will blame me for wasting moments of your life that you won't get back.

Thank You, Vets: First, off, the Click Chick wants to thank all the military veterans out there for their service. I appreciate what you've done. Thank you. And a special shout out to my brother, Chauncey Arthur Crosby, III. He's a retired Marine who served in Operation Desert Storm.

For Music Lovers: This is just for KTAR news anchor Ned Foster and my dear brother Jim Poulin (a huge Phish fan) who are HUGE music fans. There's a new Web site that allows you to watch concerts online. And if you think you have to pay for the privilege, you're absolutely wrong. It's free. BillboardLive.com will let you watch Alicia Keys (LOVE her music), Usher and other to be named. And for those of us with iPhones, there's an app where we can watch it while waiting in line at the airport.

Holiday Gift Guide: Some of you, like me, maybe have noticed that there are Christmas commercials running on TV. And if you happen to go into some retailers, they went straight from Halloween to Christmas. But if you're like me and you like to shop early, I have to turn you on to CNET's "2009 Ultimate Holiday Tech Guide." A recent poll said most Americans who planned to spend cash this holiday season, planned to spend it on tech stuff. So, check out the gift guide. I'm particularly fond of CNET's Cheapskate blog's '100 Days of Deals' - including today's - A $10 Restaurant.com gift certificate for 80 cents. And you should know, there are only 43 deals left to go.

Dumping Deadbeat Clients: Here's an interesting story from the Wall Street Journal Online. We've heard of divorcing your spouse and divorcing your friends, but some apparently some businesses are filing for "Customer Divorce." Some firms are shedding their 'High-Maintenance' or delinquent clients. These are "customers who ask for more discounts and concessions or want more leeway on payment time." Read the article...

Christmas List: If you're like the Click Chick and your relatives still don't seem to understand that you don't want Aunt Ida's fruitcake or the same pair of slippers they bought you the previous two years, then try Your Christmas List. This online gift guide will let folks in your family know exactly what you want. Not only can you enter descriptions, you can upload photos so they know what you want. You can even rank the gifts by what you want the most. You can also try the Online Christmas List.

Must Have Hokey Christmas DVD: Yes, it's hokey. Yes, it's dated. And yes, I still love it after all these years...and for those of you who still have it on VHS, I've got the link to the deluxe edition of the Rankin & Bass (no relation to the Click Chick) classic holiday tale "The Year Without A Santa Claus."

Yes, I'm still out on vacation. But I'll be back on the air tomorrow morning. But before I return, if you're a movie fan or if you're like me and fall asleep on the couch and never know how that late night movie ended, The Movie Spoiler is just for you. It let's you know the endings of current and not so current movies. I know a lot of teens that could have used this back in the day when they told their parents they were at a movie but were somewhere else entirely...

Greetings, All! The Click Chick is on vacation for a couple days. I am in an undisclosed location (more undisclosed than any place former VP Dick Cheney ever was). But that doesn't mean I don't have a treat for you. First, it's Take That Kanye: ! In case you missed SNL on Saturday, cute little country singer Taylor Swift got back at Kanye West for taking the stage and ruining her moment at the VMAs. (Watch the video.)... Coming Soon to a Planet Near You: And I'm going to call this the "Conspiracy Theory of the Week" because I don't believe it. But, apparently, there are people who do believe that President Barack Obama has made contact with aliens (not the illegal kind, the interstellar, ET kind). I know, Nancy Pelosi looks like an alien, but she's actually from Earth. Anyhow, that SETI project we always see in movies is "supposedly" preparing for the arrival of a UFO to a planet near you. Read the details... And just where do hard-on-their-luck billionaires go to unload the family jewels, yachts and other expensive items when they need some extra cash? According to a Yahoo! story, They can try BillionaireXchange.com.

Full-Sized Groom's Cake: I recently had the privilege of meeting GoDaddy's head honcho Bob Parsons and was a guest on his GoDaddy online radio show. I asked if I could be the first GoDaddy cougar, but he politely refused my offer. Anyhow, congratulations go to Bob because he just got married. And I got a photo (pictured left) of his groom's cake - a full-size Ducati motorcycle created by Duff Goldman. He's the guy on Food Network's Ace of Cakes. Yes, I also have video.

What's Your Wrestling Name?: Someone just told me that Tram Mai over at Channel 12 tweets. You know her. She's the one who got to fill in on Regis and Kelly not so long ago? And this morning she tweeted a link you have to try. It's a Wrestling Name generator. But it generates your wrestling name. I'm Velvet Pinup and no, I don't like being called that.

Cash Cab Wrong Answer: My friend turned me on to a new show last night. It's called Cash Cab. Have you guys seen that? It's on the Discovery Channel and unsuspecting Manhattanites hail a cab. They may think they're going to the lower east side, but in reality they're on a game show in a cab. And well, here's what happened when some unsuspecting tourists from Kentucky climbed in and you just have to watch their wrong answer. It's proof that not everyone has seen Star Wars.

Trek Name Generator: Well, I mentioned Star Wars. So, I have to get give Star Trek equal time. Yes, it is the second name generator today, but we love those. But instead of stealing this one from Tram Mai, I'm proud to say I found this one on my own. It's the Star Trek Alien Name Generator. You tell them if you want to be a conniving Romulan or a mighty Klingon. You enter your name and then click on the button that reads "Reverse the polarity of the tachyon field emissions!" And it spits out a name. My Klingon name is Gi'Ral Kahless. My Star Trek Romulan alien name is Ariennye Eviess.
Take The Star Trek Alien Name Generator today!

Timewaster: Today's Timewaster pits the left side of the brain with the right side. For each word (which is the name of a color) there are two buttons. The idea is to select the color of the text, not the color suggested by the word. You only get four seconds for each word. The average number of times it takes to get a perfect score is 5. Take the color test.

Girlfight: What happens when the girls soccer team of BYU meets the girls soccer team from New Mexico. A girlfight. Well, let's just say pulling ponytails is un-sportsmanlike conduct. It looks like someone shot the video of the ESPN report on the camera phone, but the quality is not that bad.

Fry Your Turkey: Guess what folks, Thanksgiving is three weeks away. Do you know where your turkey is? Probably in the frozen food aisle. But do you know what you're doing with your turkey? My family has a new tradition. We deep fry ours. If you want to try it this year, you will first need to get a turkey and a turkey fryer. Third, you will need to go to Fabulous Foods to figure out how to deep fry it. FYI, do it OUTSIDE.

RetailMeNot.com: Please bookmark this Web site before you do any of your online holiday shopping at chain stores. I've talked about this site before, however, I want to remind you about it because it is extremely helpful. If you know your honeybunch wants something from Best Buy or Banana Republic or some other big chain, before you buy it, go to RetailMeNot.com. Enter in the name of the store you want to make your purchase from and they will tell you about what online deals they have (and what promotion code) you need to enter to get the savings. And always check if they have free shipping. Amazon and other online stores are offering free shipping for qualified purchases...for now. So, shopping early has that advantage...

Cute Animal Moment: I know. It's been awhile. But here you go. The folks at Bing, put together a slideshow of cute animal babies. You gotta love looking at that.

Mickey Mouse Going Dark: No. Disneyland is not closing up shop because of the economy (and honestly, that would be a tragedy in my mind.) But according to the NY Times, Disney is shaking up Mickey's image. Mickey, aka Steamboat Willie, has had a squeaky clean rep for decades and decades. But in a move to reach a new generation of kids, Mickey, is getting a makeover into "Epic Mickey." And Epic Mickey will have a new adventure in which he'll be "cantankerous and cunning, as well as heroic, as he traverses a forbidding wasteland." Read the NYT story...

Send A Guy A Buck: A listener sent this to me with a note reading, "Interesting concept here! I wonder if it will work? Thanks for taking a look! - Kenny." Well, Kenny, I took a look at Send Me One Dollar. The creator of said site said he's seen Web sites saying, send me a check, send me a credit card. But he thought, what if I just created a site and told people to send him a buck - one dollar of legal tender? First he said he'd pocket it. But then he said, he'd keep half and give the rest to "take care of our veterans as I see fit." Well, I don't know if he's for real. But taking care of our veterans is ALWAYS a good idea.

Special Magazine Cover: KTAR's Morning News anchor Ned Foster's son made the cover of a magazine. But what magazine? Levi Johnston was booked for Playgirl. Glamour and Cosmo don't accept dudes for the cover. And then I realized, Ned's son isn't even on the cover. But his lovingly restored BMW is on the this month's cover of performancebmwmag.com this month.

Ugly Cars: I've got a car Web site you can check out. It's the The Ugliest Cars in Britain - as determined by the person who put the site together. It's not a slick site and I don't agree with the choices, but it might amuse some of you as they have some models that we don't have here.

Old School Typewriter: And since this is day four of the Social Networking Virus Siege on KTAR, I joked with someone and asked if there was a typewriter in the building. And that got me to thinking, what if I wanted to buy one? For those of you who need one or want one to spare, check out Typewriters.com. Did you know you could get an IBM Selectric for $499. That's the sale price . . . which according to a co-worker is more than it cost when it was new. So, if you find one in grandma's attic, don't throw it away.

Happy Anniversary, Sesame Street: It's the 40th Anniversary of Sesame Street! And in celebration of that and if you're a fan of that show or muppets in general, you might to occasionally check out the Muppet News Flash. It keeps you up to date on all things muppet related and bills itself as "The Jim Henson News Blog." Today's news: Big Bird will be a guest on Jimmy Kimmel Live tonight. I think that's must see TV.

Handerpants, Redux: Yesterday, I told you about the wonderful new product called Handerpants. But as we had serious IT computer issues at the station, I wasn't able to view a YouTube video explaining exactly what their uses are. Well, problem solved. Watch and be amazed by this product.

Crazy Named Product:I found a pork product that they will never sell in the United States, at least, not under it's original name. It's not the product itself that will turn people off. It's some of the names associated with it. First off, the product line is called Mr. Brain's. Right there, I'm suspicious. Second, well, it just proves names we think of as insensitive here in the good old US of A , are perfectly acceptable other places, like in England. That's as far as I'll go on that one. See for yourself...

Timewaster Rewind: Someone sent this to me and I believe this was the first Timewaster I ever posted. So for old times sake, I'm posting it again. Check your reaction time...

Timewaster Picture Gallery: As you've never met these people, you might get a laugh or two with The Celebration Game. And it is a collection of real wedding and engagement newspaper announcements, and well, some of them will tickle your funny bones, like the couple that put up wanted posters with mugshots that read "Wanted by the FBI" for "Conspiracy to commit acts of love and robbery of each others' hearts." You know, if you want to go with the prison stripes theme for your wedding, well... I'm sure Sheriff Arpaio might give you a good deal on pink underwear.

Wacky Wedding Pics: That got me to looking around and there are A LOT of wacky wedding photo collections on the Internet. However, most of them have pictures that are downright inappropriate. However, after a looooonnnggg perusal, I found a set of funny wedding pictures that you can all check out. This is perfect if you're stuck in an airport and you only have your laptop or smartphone to keep you company.

HearTheBill.org: I heard about this site around 4 a.m. this morning while listening to "America in the Morning" on good old KTAR. HearTheBill.org was put together by a group of actors who want you to be able to listen to all the health care proposals in the House and Senate. IT's non-partisan and all they do is read the bills.

LousySpouse.com: This Web site was sent to me from our news director. I don't know what to infer from this, but I'm sure he's happily married. Now that I've read that disclaimer, I have to tell you about the site. It's called LousySpouse.com. It was started by two women who suffered the pain and sorrow of divorce from a lousy spouse. And what they do is offer advice to help you navigate through the divorce process.

What's Your Pirate Name?: You know. It's not talk like a pirate day. But it will be sometime in the next 365. And when that day comes around, you're going to need a pirate name. And we all can't be Captain Jack Sparrow. So, I've found a little tool for you to generate your own pirate name. So, I typed in Click Chick - and my pirate name is now - Pirate Angelina the Hatless.

School on Picture Patrol: And here's an interesting story from Wired.com - and no surprise the ACLU has weighed in on it. It seems two Indiana teens are suing their school district because "they were punished for posting suggestive photos on MySpace." The girls say they were humiliated - not by the pictures - but because they were forced to "apologize to the all-male Athletics Board." Kids - let this serve as a warning. Even if you post pictures of yourself where only your friends can view it - your so-called friends can make copies and put them anywhere.

Bad Book Title: It's been quite some time since I had an entry for the "Ridiculous Book Title of the Month" entry. But this one defies explanation. It's called "Living with Crazy Buttocks" and it's available in paperback, inexplicably, from Amazon.com. And remember, with $25 in qualified purchases, you get free shipping.

Photo of the Day: OK. I know some Christmas lights are up already because I saw some in a residential area in north Scottsdale in October when I went to friends' to celebrate Canadian Thanksgiving. I thought, as much as I love to decorate for Christmas, that's even early for me. But someone forwarded me a picture of a Christmas lights display that I think might catch on. All I'll say is this - "Ditto." Check out this picture and you'll see what I mean. There is a three letter word on the site. You've been warned.

Don King Dances: You know, when I hear Don King busts a move, I get nervous and think, should I duck? But apparently, some news anchors are braver than I am. But after all, it was Las Vegas and well, in Vegas, you apparently get a floor show with your newscast. So, they turned on Michael Jackson's Thriller and got jiggy with Don King…who might add, isn't a dapper dancer. But the anchor team, they did pretty good. Watch the video...

Underwear for Your Hands?: I got that from ABC News last link from ABCNews.com where I ran across a product I've never, ever heard of. But there is a picture and apparently they're real. They're Handerpants. That's right, underwear for your hands. It's on a list of 7 Wacky Consumer Products. They also mention the pup carrier which I told you about last week and the Snuggie for dogs I told you about a few weeks ago.

One-Man Musical Tribute to Michael Jackson: OK, there are a lot of people out there with talent, but only a few can pull of what this guy did. He does all seven parts in a Michael Jackson tribute. Yes, that's him cloned 6 times in the video. Watch and see for yourself. It's had more than 2.2 million hits on the old Internet. But doesn't compare to the more than 6 million hits that one guy got for doing the John Williams tribute.

Ugly Bug: OK, since Channel 12 is a media partner, I don't mind generously borrowing this link a co-worker told me she saw on the station on Saturday evening. Apparently, ASU and NAU are among the sponsors of UBC 2009 - that would be the Ugly Bug Contest. If bugs make you queasy, I really, really wouldn't check out this YouTube video. To vote, just go to askabiologist.asu.edu. Personally, the Jerusalem Cricket has to be the UGLIEST bug on the planet. I'm not even posting a link to that. Google it. It creeps me out just thinking about it.

Crazy Contests Around the Globe: This is right up the Click Chick's alley because it is just plain crazy. I'm talking about The Mirror's collection of Crazy Contests (plus videos) from around the world. The headline is what got me: "From cheese rolling to wife carrying to nettle eating, crazy contests around the world - video." They include the Bog snorkeling championship in Wales and in Dorset, they compete to see who can eat the most stinging nettles.

Save $500: Yes, I thought that would get your attention. How would you like to save $500 in just 30 days? I found an article that claims to help you do just that. Let me know if it works.

Tech Gifts: Now, if you want to spend money, here's a holiday shopping site for you. I heard a news story that said those of you who do plan to spend some cash this holiday season plan on spending them on electronics and such - well try TechBargains. It's aggregates sales info from other web sites and lets you know who has the best sales on tech stuff AND the best coupons.

Recipe of the Day: Attention, KTAR news anchor Jayme West (She's KTAR's resident baker). The recipe of the day is just for you. It's the Cheesecake Brownie Recipe. Two desserts in one. What's not to love?

Vacation Sites: Want a vacation rental home and don't know where to look? Try HomeAway.com. They feature rentals in the US, Europe and the Caribbean. Speaking of vacation - if you're like the Click Chick and you've got some vacation time you need to burn up before the year is up, then you need to check out 1001 Vacation Ideas. Like its name, the site boats cheap vacation spots and ideas you may not have thought of before boarding the plane and heading someplace you've never been before.

Halloween DVD Rentals: FYI - Since Michael Dixon has done it and since he and I debate the movies on Saturday mornings at 7:55 during the Reel Reviews segment, I have to list my favorite Halloween videos. But mine a kid friendly. First, you can't go wrong watching "It's The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown" because it's an American classic. But the only movie that makes me blow the dust off my VCR is "Fat Albert's Halloween Special." And of course, I follow that with "Young Frankenstein". I remember my mom taking me to that movie and I was scared... until the movie started. All of these are available from Amazon.com on DVD.

Crazy Carved Pumpkins: We've all seen numerous links to creative pumpkin carving slideshows, but lets face it, they're pretty much the same ones that have been circulating the internet for years. But Woman's Day found some new ones I haven't seen before they've collected from various other sites. So, I give you 10 Stunning Pumpkin Carvings.

Halloween Horses: Okay, you've seen Halloween costumes for dogs and for cats, but what about for horses? Yes, the Horse Tailor has custom-made costumes for your favorite equine friend. Imagine a horse as a lion, a fairy princess…or even Harry Potter or Scooby Doo! Check out their catalog and photo gallery.

Puppy Carrier: Now, for those of you who know someone who carries their dog everywhere, but is getting tired of carrying around a doggy purse bag. Try the Pup To Go carrier. It's just like one of those kid carriers that parents have to hang their kids in front of them, kind of like a reverse back pack. Well, this one is for the small pooch in your life.

Dress Up Your Guinea Pig: Yes, you read that right. And this gets the 1st Annual Ned Foster "Oh My Word" Award. I've had links for dressed up dogs, dressed up horses, dressed up cats - but I don't want Muffin the guinea pig left out. That's right - costumes for your guinea pig. Check out Cuddly Cavies. Enough said.

Natural Dog Food: First, for those of you who really want to feed your dog the best, you might want to check out Homemade Doggy Dinners. This Web site features "100% REAL FOOD" for you pooch. "Real Food is what dogs would eat in the wild and what they have been thriving on for centuries." They have all natural dog food, dog treats and they'll help you design your own dog cake.

The Klingons Are A Threat: And ladies and gentleman, remember I was the first to warn you. The alien race has been in contact with earth and it was only a matter of time before we figured out they are not friendly aliens like ET. My federation spies have uncovered a propaganda video sent to us by the Klingon empire. Apparently, they expect us to speak their language and understand what their saying. But if you watch the video, you'll get a good understanding that they want to destroy us, they eat meat without forks and have no tolerance of other alien species. If you ask me, the video is reminiscent of old communist propaganda. Don't tell Glenn Beck. It will keep him up at night. Now, we've heard of Birthers who think President Obama was born in another country. However, there's another group out there we should know about - they're called 'UFP Truthers.' They're the people who align themselves with the United Federation of Planets Council for the Freedom of Developing Worlds. They've posted a response to the Klingon propaganda video. I have to say, when it comes to propaganda, the Klingons have style. The 16 second Federation video response encouraging people to embrace alien diversity is kinda boring. Here is the Klingon video translation - and if you want a good laugh and want to know their plans for "expanding their empire" then you have to read it.

Calling Out KTAR Anchor Jayme West:For those you of you who don't know, Jayme West is the resident and official baker of KTAR. If it has chocolate gooeyness - then Jayme has probably made it. Well, Jayme, you've been a little lax on the job. Anchor for Mac & Gaydos isn't your only responsibility here at the station. It's the holidays! We need treats! So, why don't you start with the Chocolate Kahlua Fantasy Cake? It got a 4 fork rating from bakers. I expect to see one in the break room tomorrow Jayme.

Another Recipe: I like this recipe for cinnamon because of what they're called on the Pioneer Woman Web site: Cinnamon Rolls 101, or How To Elicit Primal Groans From All Your Friends.

One More Recipe: The last recipe of the morning - Pumpkin bars. Tis the season, I say.

Create Your Own Jazz: Attention music lovers. If you're like the Click Chick and you like a little jazz or Latin jazz, then I've found the fun little Web site for you. It's from OraPois. Now, the site is in Portuguese, but this little musical Timewaster doesn't require you to know any language. This little diddy lets you act as a conductor of a band. You just click on the instruments or the singers to turn them on and off and you can make the band sound like you like.

The Ultimate Fun Gift: I never had a spud gun, but they sure look fun. I ran across the link for the Spud Gun Technology Center - your source for spud gun stats.

Fun in the Forest: What do you think an elk calf would do if it ran across a puddle and thought no one was looking? Well, it would play in it just like any dog or human child would. Someone caught it on video.

Governator's F-Bomb: Let's get a little bit political. As you know, California is broke. Heck, Arizona is broke too. But dare I say, their governor is a tad more interesting to follow than our own? Yes, I do dare say it. Anyhow, there's a lot of talk about a letter he sent to the California Assembly rejecting a bill. Apparently, it seems if you look at the letter, all the letters next to to the left margin spell out an F-bomb-you message. Read the ABC News Blog about it • See the UNEDITED letter.

Candy Treats: I'm giving you tips for Saturday night. That's right, Halloween is Saturday night and I, like you, will be waiting for the Great Pumpkin. So, you still haven't bought candy for trick or treaters and you don't know what to get. Don't fret. I've done the work for you. I have found a list of the most popular candy that will prevent people from putting TP all over your house when you decide to hand out stale Bazooka gum. Of course, Snickers top the list. Read the list...

We're #14!: That's what Phoenix ranks on the Forbes.com's America's Safest Cities List? Cities were ranked by violent crime rate, workplace fatality rates, traffic death rates and natural disaster risk. FYI, Milwaukee has a natural disaster risk of 1. Here's the full list.

Your Key To Hollywood: I was in Southern California over the last few days and I saw something on the back of a car in LA that I thought was so appropriate for that town that I would share this link. Why? Because when some people realize that I moonlight as a movie critic, they want to pitch me their idea. The last thing you want to do is pitch your movie idea to a film critic. So, got YouScreenWriter.com. It has online ed-tools that help you write, produce, direct your own stuff including movies, webisodes, games comics and more.

Slap Him Around: Nick Griffin isn't exactly a popular guy with everyone across the pond in the UK. I'd never heard of him when I ran across a link Slap Nick Griffin that encourages you to slap him. I thought, is it another cheating politician? Is it some man who'd done some woman wrong? Well, of course, before I slap a guy, I want to know why. So, I did a little research and according to http://www.slapnickgriffin.co.uk/" target="new">The Times UK, he "has a conviction for inciting racial hatred." So, slap away folks!

My Parents Were Cool...Once: A friend of mine was in a well known rock band and told me - his daughter was so embarrassed by him, she said dad, don't drive me all the way to school - just drop me off down the street. For moms and dads who've heard that and were crushed. This new Web site is just for you. I was tipped off to it by ABC News, but as I've just given them credit, I'm stealing it. It's called My Parents Were Awesome. According to the site: "Before the fanny packs and Andrea Bocelli concerts, your parents (and grandparents) were once free-wheeling, fashion-forward, and super awesome."

Too Many Tweets: Do you know someone that overshares on Twitter. I mean people who tell you EVERYTHING they're doing, like for example: "Just woke up." "Going to the commode." "Eating Malt-o-Meal, needs sugar." "Tweeting while driving." Well, the Web site TweetingTooHard.com/ is about people who maybe think a little to much of themselves and tweet stuff like "it's only 10am and i've already been told that i'm amazing by two people." Or say: "My Halloween Costume: Myself. I'm just that awesome." Yes, folks. Those are actual tweets.

The Body Tarp: We've all been there. You've gone to the gym and you may be a little uncomfortable with how you fill out those biker shorts. Or it's 117 degrees outside and there's no way you're putting on a baggy sweatsuit. Or your best buddy insists on wearing shorts that are just way too short for the weight room. I've found a clothing plan that will eliminate all your fashion worries - it's the Private Gym Body Tarp. That's right. It's just a big blue tarp that your throw over yourself. It say it's brilliant in its simplicity.

Product Ratings: It's that time of year where you're putting together your holiday gift lifts. I've made my list. I've check it twice and I cut some folks off. But for the lucky few that remain... I'm going to check out ConsumerSearch before I buy them anything. It has product reviews of the products. According to the site, they's "simplify the complex." They collect the best reviews, analyze the picks and then make a recommendation as to what you should buy. Heck, they even have a review of the ShamWow. You know you can't beat that.

PEZ Heads and Poopers:A few days ago, the Click Chick told you about those Top 10 Crazy Candies. And it got me wondering. Are some of these insanely silly items still on the market or were the just failed marketing spoofs. Well, your answers is yes. Some of them are still on the market. You just need to go to the Crazy Candy & Collectibles Web site. There you'll find Crazy Candy dispensers including NBA, NFL and MLB LastLix Head Boppers, all kinds of Pez collectibles and of course, the crowning jewel of the collection - pig poopers! And it's not just pigs. They've got all kinds of creatures getting into the act.

Get Organized for the Holidays: Got this link from my dear friend Linda Davis who does a segment on Channel 3's Your Life A to Z. She recommended a site called Organized Christmas. The site helps you "Simplify your holidays and celebrate the season!" And it's not just Christmas stuff. There are tips for Halloween fun, like how to BOO your neighbors. I'll boo Daren and Lynda Wood because they're nice to me and they like my dog. The other neighbors... have toilet paper in their future. FYI, we all like that Candy Corn this time of year. Well, they have a recipe for Candy Corn Cookies.

Timewaster: It comes to us courtesy listener David Melcher. David, hope you're not at work and I hope I didn't rat you out to your boss, David Melcher. It's called the Find 5 Challenge. There are two pictures, that appear identical. But the second picture is not like the other in subtle ways. Your goal is to find the difference. I posted a Timewaster like this before, but heck, I say, the more Timewasters, the merrier.

Something Spooky, Pt. 2: Since it's getting close to Halloween, I'm going to try to share something creepy with you everyday. Yesterday, it wasn't so creepy as it was fun. Of course, I'm talking about Ben & Jerry's crypt of flavors that have died (from store shelves). Now this one is creepy. If you don't like spiders, don't look at the spider on the left of the link to Wired.com. I'm about to tell you about. Here's the headline: Even-More-Gigantic Giant Orb Spider Discovered. Females of the new species, aka Nephila komaci, stretch about 4 to 5 inches in diameter - dwarfing the male of the species. I wouldn't make her mad.

New eBook: I found that spider completely by accident, as most spiders are discovered in the home, while looking for a review to share with you of the new 'Nook' eBook reader from Barnes & Noble which was unveiled yesterday. They figured, heck, there's Kindle. So, we'll just make our own. And now, I know why Borders sent me a big discount coupon yesterday for their eBook reader on the same day. The Nook will cost you $260 and is available for pre-order.

Helpful Hint from A Listener: This may actually might be useful to some of you. Marianne wrote that she's a "redheaded pale Irish woman and very sensitive to everything." She tried all kinds of face masks and they'd burn her face. Well, she sent me a link to eHow because there she found the Elmer's Glue Face Mask. Yes, eHow.com explains how you can exfoliate our skin using the glue. Marianne adds, use the Elmer's glue for school kids because it's non-toxic (and we know how some kids like to eat it).

Cute Food Blog: Like to look at cute things like puppies, kittens, babies? No, this isn't a cute animal moment. I know, shocking! Well, if you like looking at cute things, someone has put together a Web site called Epicute and what do they post there. Pictures of cute food. Hey, whatever floats your boat is what I say.

Timewaster: From Crazy Monkey Games, I'm telling you, today's game is pretty crazy. It's called Pizza Boy and your goal is to deliver pizza from your moving gondola. That's right. You just toss it a customers from the boat. No one is burned by melting cheese in the making of this Click Chick Timewaster.

Tech Travel: Right there on the Yahoo! today a fascinating video: Cars that stop themselves thanks to the engineers a Mobile Eye. It can see where the lane marks are, pedestrians and if they're getting ready to cross the road. Fascinating stuff. You know what that means everyone. We're a step closer to being like George Jetson. Before you know it, we won't even have to actually drive. Now, if they'd only make a robot maid. I'd still want a real dog though. Watch the video...

Cat Costumes: Usually when people send me pictures of animals dressed up in costumes (and I get lots of email links for that stuff), it's usually dogs. But I posted a link sometime ago called Stuff on My Cat. Well, they have a collection of cats dressed for Halloween. And so does i-pets.com. I think it explains why cats have a general disdain for people.

REALLY Crazy Candies: Woman's Day online features the 15 Craziest Candies Ever - and that includes a Sour Flush Candy (I'll let your mind do the walking there), White Chocolate Maggots are allegedly " Tastier Than The Average Maggot" (and it comes in a can!!!) and the Hose Nose.

Cats & Dogs Living Together: I have video proof that the times they are a changing. Back in 2002, there was a dog who had four puppies to care for. Well, actually, 3 of those puppies were dogs. And one of those puppies was a cub. As in lion cub. That's right the cub needed a new mom and so a local family loaned them their dog who'd just had puppies. There is video. And it's awfully cute! Watch the video...

B & J's Halloween Fun: Here's a little Halloween fun. check out Ben & Jerry's Halloween fun section of their official site. There you can go to the Flavor Graveyard and find out what really happened to your favorite flavors that went away from the ice cream aisle in the grocery store near you. For example, what happened to the Chocolate Chocolate Chip flavor? "Herein lay way too much chocolate to lick. Though some met the challenge, many others got sick." Make sure you go creeping around the site by clicking on various things - including the library. There's lots of fun stuff to waste 20 minutes on.

Wardrobe Malfunction: We've had another wardrobe malfunction. This time it was Whitney Houston singing on the X Factor talent show - in England. Her dress stayed on, but the her bra, alas, did not. Watch the video...

Fisticuffs, Right Hooks and Other Knuckle Sandwiches: And nothing cries out for a Click Chick mention like fisticuffs at a city council meeting. Usually it's politicians duking it out somewhere across the Pacific. This time it was the U.S. And guess what state. Hint: They don't know how to count votes there. It seems two guys tried to strangle each other. Yes, there's video. And there was a fight outside the Heene house, but none of the Heene's were involved (Word is they floated away on a balloon before it all happened.). It was a neighbor mixing it up with the media.

For People Who Fear Clowns: Now here's a weird site. I don't have a problem with clowns. Matter of fact, they're rather funny when 30 of them get out of a tiny car at the circus. But I have not always felt that way. After seeing Poltergeist when it came out in theaters many years ago, that clown that...well, I'll leave it there. But I got over it. Some people did not. I found a Web site called, ihateclowns.com. Now really, what did Bozo ever do to you? I have to admit, Krusty the Clown is my favorite.

Going To The Dogs: First, let's start with The Daily Puppy. Do you need an anger appeaser sometime throughout the day? Or do you just like to say Ohhhhhh, how cute a lot? Then I have the Web site for you. It's The Daily Puppy. It's a basically a site with video and pictures of cute puppies. And they even have "grown" puppies featured on the site. They also feature puppy clothes, dog advice and more. The Daily Puppy lead me to another dog site, called Luvmutt.com. If you have a mixed breed dog, then this is the site for you, because it proclaims "No Purebreeds Allowed." It's another one of those sites that offer advice on care, adoption and lots of pictures.

Dog Houses: Also, pet supplies are big business. According to Forbes, Americans spent $45.4 billion a year on a pets - basically they're our children. So, if you want to spend even more on your pets, specifically your dogs, then go to DogHouses.com. And these aren't your average dog houses. I'm talking a dog house with a balcony. I'd LOVE to get that for Fezziwig the Wonderdog.

Twitter Musings: People in Congress aren't too happy about Wall Street Bonuses: Just read this Sen. John McCain Tweet on our AZ News Wire from KTAR.com: "Wall Street bonuses: Goldman Sachs $16.7 billion; JP Morgan $8.7 billion; main street $0 - your tax dollars hard at work."

Piano Feet: So, KTAR's resident baker Jayme West sent me this really neat video. It's called Piano Stairs. And in Stockholm, Sweden they were trying to figure out a way to get people use a set of stairs, rather than an escalator right next to it. So, they made it fun, by making the stairs look like piano keys and whenever anyone stepped on the keys, it sounded like they were on a piano. Well, the results -- 66 percent more people than normal chose to take the stairs. They figured the easiest way to change someone's behavior was making it fun to do.

This Little Piggy: The latest pet craze in England - teacup pigs. Yes, they're adorable and yes, they're size of teacups. They weigh about 9 oz. at birth and grow up to about 14 inches.

Clunker Henge: OK, the economy has made you cut back. Some of you thought, maybe this is the year we'll cross the pond and go to Stonehenge (been there once - that was enough) and I have a cheaper option for you. Why not go to Carhenge. Apparently, 38 cars make up a replica that you don't have to cross the pond to see. You just need to go to Alliance, Nebraska and you're there! And guess what - admission is free. Is it me, or this a tribute to the Cash for Clunkers program? It was recently picked the #2 craziest place to visit in America.

How to Do Stuff: Here's a Web site that actually might have some use for all you faithful listeners. It's called So You Wanna. It "teaches you how to do all the things nobody taught you in school." And basically, it explains how you can do to stuff like decorate your apartment or how to get flat abs.

Cool Contest #1: Attention Tweeters. NASA has a contest for you. Yes, that's right. You don't have to be a KTAR Rewards member for this one. But you will need a Twitter account. NASA is hosting a Tweetup for the next Space Shuttle Atlantis Lift off on Nov. 11 and 12. Starting today at noon, EST. You can register to win a chance to attend the Tweetup at Kennedy Space Center. Get information here...

Cool Contest #2: The other contest for those of us who are fans of The Simpsons. Producers are giving a lucky viewer the chance to create their own Simpsons' character for the animated series. The contest opens today and ends Friday, Oct. 24. The winner gets flown to LA to meet the producers and the shows animation director. Click here for details.

Today Show Makeout Sessions: If you are a justice of the peace in Louisiana that does not grant interracial couples marriage licenses (yes, there really is a guy who did that) then don't read this section. I don't when this happened, but I've seen it with my own eyes, Meredith Viera made out with '30 Rock' actor Tracy Morgan on Morning TV. And she gloated about it to Tina Fey... star and writer of '30 Rock.' So, Fey wouldn't be left out, weatherman Al Roker came over and locked lips with her. Now, I've kissed someone on 3TV's Your Life A to Z before. But he lives at the zoo, has four legs and likes eating weeds. See the whole thing for yourself...

Balloon Boy Timewaster: We knew it was only a matter of time. Someone has put together the Balloon Boy Game. Of course, I'm referring to the case of the boy thought to have floated away on a homemade helium ballon. The goal in this game is to see "How Much Money of Taxpayer Dollars you can waste?

Balloon Boy Video: There's a music video they're showing on all over the news channes starring none other than Falcon Heene. It's definitely homemade. I've watched it, but I was - and you can quote me on this - pretty silly and I don't mean that in a fun way.

More Dog Clothes: I've got yet another pet clothes link for you. You can get embroidered shirts fit for you pooch from Barking Dogs Clothes. Yes, they tell you how to measure your pet so his t-shirt that says Sir Barks A Lot fits absolutly perfectly.

Pet Portraits: Speaking of dressed up pets, if having your dogs dressed up, photographed and pictures loaded into Facebook, then you might like a fancy shmancy pet portrait. This is more than just a Facebook slideshow. You can get your pets picture turned into a classic portrait or a pop art picture you can put on greeting cards and more. Yes, your dog can look like Henry VIII in full regal costume.

Burglar Bear: The other day, I told you about a burglar who was caught on tape - burgling in the nude. Well, I've got something to top that. Imagine, if you will, a burglar knocking before breaking and entering. I know, doesn't sound so suspicious except that it was a black bear that decided to eat the dog food and water in the backyard before trying to get into the house. Watch the story...

Office Workers' Backstreet Boys Tribute: I admit that I unceremoniously stole this link from KTAR's Jayme West's tweet which happened to be a retweet from McCain Bloggette. Why? Because it's funny. A group of office employees who apparently like to have fun thought it would be fun to do their own version of a Backstreet Boys video - using their desk PC cameras. Watch the video...

Click Chick Rewind: Now, I've mentioned the CakeWrecks Web site before, but a bunch of people sent it to me yesterday, so I figured, I better post it again. And have to say, you'd think with Food Network TV shows about cake decorating, it would have improved some skills. But alas, I'm happy to report for entertainment that that's not the case. It is nice to notice that the site got a bit of a facelift and there are even more disasters to check out.

Extreme Ironing: So, ladies. How do you get the guys to iron their own shirts and clothes? You make it extreme. There are sites dedicated to this sports. That's right - a sport. Skiing while ironing. Hang gliding while ironing and even, scuba diving while ironing. Can't you get electrocuted doing that?

Dogs Dressed Up: Let's start with Petside. They have a slideshow of dogs dressed in costume. You have to check out the brindle Great Dane made to look like a liger and the shark dog which I think is a one of those Chinese crested dogs - that is a hairless breed - or some of the breed comes out hairless. Now, even though only 8 percent of pet owners dress up their pets, according to an AP survey, some people still love to dress up Fido and Rover. If you do, a friend of mine found the Ross Dress for Less for dogs. It's Dog Dug and they have great wholes prices for the few of you that like to dress up your pooch.

Today's Cute Animal Moment: While looking for audio for 'Puppy Love,' I found a video called Puppy Love and all it is is Dachshund puppies playing, sleeping, chewing on each others ears and just being so darn cute.

Man Chores: How do you get the guys to iron their own shirts and clothes? You make it extreme. There are sites dedicated to this. That's right Extreme Ironing. Skiing while ironing. Hang gliding while ironing and even, scuba diving while ironing. Can't you get electrocuted doing that?

Hockey Shots: I gotta post this to keep peace in the office. And this is just for hockey fans. It's video of TD Bank Mini 1-on-1. I think it's a young kid playing hockey between the periods at a Boston Bruins game. I have to say, the kid's got an incredible shot. Our sports guy said "Wow." So hockey moms and fans - this is for you.

Spam Stuff, LOTS of Spam Stuff: OK, really. How many of you out there actually like Spam? I know it's big in Hawaii where I'm told there's a spam burger at McDonald's. Well, if you love Spam so much. Check out the Spam Shop online. Yes, they have stuffed animals, baseball caps and more. They have office products, sports equipment and inexplicably, the Spam museum camera, the wine charms and I have to say, I sat there in wide-eyed stupefaction when I saw the number of products available. I just have to say to this, I do not like green eggs and Spam. Yes, they have Spam Bacon. No, I'm not trying any. That's where I draw the bacon line in the lard.

347 Pounds and Never Been Kissed: The Today show has a segment called the "Joy Fit Club" and they featured the story of a woman who was 347. She lost 211 pounds and got her first kiss. She said unlike many obese people, she never dieted. What inspired her to lose weight? The movie Phantom of the Opera. Watch her story...

Spelling Tool: Need a spell checker frequently? I know I do. So, that's why you might want to try out spellr.us. According to the site: "we have, been frustrated at the online solutions for spell checking single words or blocks of text. Pasting text into Google is great, but sometimes you need something better. This page is our work-in-progress."

Check Flight Delays: As the holiday season approaches, that means some of you may be dusting off the bags and heading to Phoenix Sky Harbor to head for other places on the map for that big turkey dinner or Yuletide fun in the snow. If so, you'll want to check out FlightCaster. This Web site promises to predict if a flight will be delayed - six hours before airlines issue a delay alert. Now, if you're picking up someone at the airport - this is really helpful so you don't miss the last 5 minutes of '24.'

Did Email Lead to Firing?: We can all tell stories of good bosses and bad bosses. We can all tell stories about emails we've gotten from friends that we've loved or hated because we disagreed with them politically. Well, according to Wired.com, a man is suing his former employer because he was fired - for being Pro-Obama. Apparently, the boss sent out a pre-election email saying what would happen if Obama was elected. The company's attorney says it was an ill-advised attempt at humor. You can read the whole story and the email on the blog and make up your own mind on what really happened.

Toilet Paper - And Lots of It: I don't know whose idea this was, but someone has taken a necessity - toiletbaper - and created a Web site because folks, that's how capitalism works. It's called Just Toilet Paper and well, the only thing on the site are various kinds of TP that you can purchase. Yes, they go way beyond the Quilted Northern or Extra Soft Charmin varieties you can get at Bashas. I'm talking monogrammed TP, and lots of lots of TP with pictures on them ranging from keyboard keys, bunnies, camoflauge and cactus themes. If I saw that last one, I'd be be kinda scared. A speaking of scared, they have Halloween and other holiday themes too.

Timewaster: Today's Timewaster is dedicated to Detour Dan Beach. He can play this next time he's goofing around in his home office. I absolutely love this game because there I was playing while my boss was in the room and she never suspected. Of course, her back was to me and I had the volume off. It's called Crazy Taxi Game. Your goal, drive as fast as possible, avoid other cars and jump over them if you have to avoid a crash.

Not Just Any Dog Blanket: When that first snow comes to Phoenix. And every six or seven years we get a dusting, you're going to need something to stay warm. But what about for your pets? How about a Snuggie for your pooch. That's right folks. They make Snuggies for humans AND dogs now.

Something Fascinating: I've found a link to a site that has 7 Geological Wonders from the World's 7 Continents. I don't want to parse words, but since they're the only continents we know of, I'm glad they were so specific. Buy the way, I think the Eye of the Sahara, Maurantania, Africa.

Desktop Wallpapers: Since I recently had my computer desktop background photo defaced, I had to find new wallpaperas not to tempt those defacers again. And if you're like me and want something way more interesting than those rolling hills that come standard from Microsoft, why try the National Geographic Wallpapers Collection. There are 500 photos and they are pretty fascinating and you can pretend like you took the photos yourself while on that vacation that you wish you took, but never did.

Timewaster: It is just for Detour Dan Beach. It's called I Love Traffic. Your goal is to send cars from all directions into the intersection. However, you need to guide the cars because the intersection gets increasingly busy. By the way, it also gives you interesting factoids, like did you know that ducks will only lay eggs in the morning.

Wild Rumpus Costume: It didn't make it into the Neiman Marcus Christmas catalog, but with a price tag of $245 it could. It's a Where The Wild Things Are costume for kids. It's available for up to size 5T meaning, they can grow into it before you'd have to pass it along in the church rummage sale.

Naked Burglar: I saw this on the ABC News site yesterday afternoon and thought, that is PERFECT for the Click Chick because it involves a dumb criminal and nudity. This is the story of a New Orleans burglar who they can probably dub, the naked burglar, because when he showed up for the heist, he didn't have a stitch of clothes on. And that's only half the story. Yes, he was caught on video. Yes, they covered some of him up.

Obama Talk: Also while on ABCnews.com, I spotted this headline: 'President Obama's Favorite Words?' I guessed 'Job numbers are up.' But apparently, I was way off the mark on that one. Apparently, he says "Let Me Be Clear" a lot.

Moses, The Movie (Again): FYI, how many of you saw that movie '300.' It was visually eye-popping, to say the least, especially those hand painted six-packs on the warriors. What if I told you that Fox will be redoing the story of Moses. It's "planned to have a 'Braveheart' or '300' feel to it." I know, that would make Sunday School really interesting. Read the story...

10/12 - Palin vs. McCain Aides: So, it wasn't Thanksgiving on Walton's Mountain for the McCain/Palin campaign last year. Who knew? You can watch Sen. John McCain open up about it with CNN's John King online.

Neiman's '09 Xmas Catalog: And as you all know, I start early with my Christmas shopping. And if you want to get the Click Chick a little something this year, I recommend the new 2009 Neiman Marcus Christmas Catalog. And if you've got an extra 105K lying around, send me that celestial black 2010 NM edition Jaguar. Or I'll settle for the $250 Bible. I'll skip the $25,000 cupcake car.

It started in Japan with Hello Kitty and now the trend of loving all things cute is coming to America. Author La Carmina is writing a book titled "Cute Yummy Time" to celebrate cute foods. Goodbye pancakes with smiley faces…hello pandas made of shrimp, seaweed, and brown rice! Of course, she's developing a line of clothing as well. Yes, you have to see it to believe it. Just check out her blog if you don't think you'll add it to your library.

Southern Plate: This is a Web site that prides itself as being a source of "Cherished recipes and cooking demonstrations from below the Mason-Dixon Line." If you're like me and Paula Deen is your patron saint and you like Southern foods, then this is the site for you. Of course, where else would you find a recipe for Buttermilk Congealed Salad.

Geek Site: Ran across a new Web site that is a combination of geek related tech stuff and funny commercials that geeks would like. The name of said site: Geeksaresexy.com. The site has "tech, science, news and social issues for geeks." I've perused it and haven't found anything scandalous yet. And while you're there, check out the Yike Bike, the world's smallet, lightest electric folding bike.

Timewaster: This Timewaster will take a little time. And if your boss catches you doing this at work, tell them you're skill building. It's called Ranch Rush and your goal is to run a ranch. You have to plant, harvest, take care of the livestock and fill your customers orders.

Timewaster #2: It's called This Is The Only Level. Your goal is to get the elephant to the red button so he can escape. Yes, there's a catch. When you think you've made it to the next level, the arrow keys don't work the same way they did before. Have fun wasting the man's dime playing that one.

Ducks Have Feelings Too: If this isn't true, I'm going to be really, really mad because this is too funny for words. You know how we media folks report how car accidents and say that some of the people involved refuse treatment. Well, that goes for ducks as well. I'm not telling you anymore. You just have read it. It's from a Web site called Probably Bad News that pokes fun of journalism.

Click Chick's SAT Advice: Hey kids! Don't know the answer to a quiz question. Use humor to amuse your teacher to fill in the blank areas where you don't have a clue. I give this guy extra credit for bacon humor. See for yourself...

10/9 - Click Chick Sports Award: Now for the news that Paul Calvisi probably considers beneath him. So, I'm giving out the highly coveted Click Chick inaugural sports award. Yes, It's the Click Chick's By The Power of Greyskull - You're No Bo Jackson Award. And it goes to to Orlando Cabrera of the Minnesota Twins. After he swung at and missed a ball thrown by a Yankee pitcher, he tried to break a bat over his knee a la Bo Jackson. The problem? He doesn't have thighs like Bo. And said bat didn't break. Yes, there are pictures with amusing commentary that you can check out online...

Timewaster: Today it's Country Trails. For those of you who like biking, you might really like this. Your goal is to get a biker off a cliff and down a mountain. Total waste of time, frustrating and fun - meaning it's a Click Chick Trademarked Timewaster.

Hot 'Toon: Move over Jessica Rabbit. Guess who got a spread in Maxim online? Yes, that Maxim, the man's magazine where girls were just a bit more than they do in Playboy and about which men don't have to say the read it for the articles. Well, it seems Maxim has taken a shine to "blue haired babe" Marge Simpson. Yes, that Marge Simpson. They call it "Yellow Fever" because "she's retained her same youthful glow for almost 20 years!" You know, it's nice to see us older girls get recognized.

Little Girl Driver: Usually when a really young kid takes a car on a joyride, it's a young boy trying to avoid going to church. It seems a 9 year old Tennessee girl with autism took her 1-year-old sister for a ride. But apparently, this isn't her first time taking the keys. But stay tuned. I think there's more to the story because both kids are now in CPS custody. Watch the story...

Recycle Your Tech Stuff: Need to recycle that old PC or laptop that was ruined by a cup of joe? Then remember, The Data Doctors are holding a tech recycling event tomorrow and will take it off your hands. Check out http://aztechrecycle.org for details. And I just talked to Data Doc's Ken Colburn. He said if you want forensics wipe out/deleting/cleaning of your computer before it's turned in, you can go to the DD's forensics lab in Tempe. Check out DataDoctors.com for details on that.

Product Source: You know what I hate? I hate when there's a product that you love to use and they either "improve" it and it doesn't work the same way or they - dare I say it - Discontinue it. Well, you have to check out TeeBop.com. It's recommended by 1 out of 1 former nuns that work here at KTAR. If there's a beauty product, a household item, or something you think you can only get at a store when you visit mom back in New Jersey, this may be the Web site for you. In the top 10, that Lysol concentrate. My grandmother used to use.

Web Reminder Calls: OK. Sometimes, you need a Waker Upper. So why not try - wakerupper.com. It's easy telephone reminders. You can schedule reminder calls on the Internet. It's fast and free and according to the site "It couldn't be simpler." Great way ladies to remind the hubby it's his turn to pick up the dry cleaning this week.

10/8 - Cool Stocking Stuffer #137: I start early with my Christmas shopping because I want money to spend on myself and cheap Christmas decorations at the after Christmas sales. That being said, many of us wimp out with mom, grandma and Godmother come Christmas and get them robes and nightgowns and slippers. Well, I've found 14 Unusual and Creative Slippers that are good for anyone in your family. The includes the Vak-Vak slippers. They're duck bill slippers that squirt water a people when you walk. Some look like fish, real rats and Kenny from Southpark. If you want the classic cute and adorable bunny slippers, these are for you.

Crime Doesn't Pay and All Fines Aren't Equal: We hear these cases of music companies going after college students for a million bucks or two for downloading a couple of songs. Of course, there are significant fines you have to pay if you're found guilty. That being said, someone put together the list of the 7 crimes you can commit and get a smaller than for file-sharing on the old Internet. And I must tell you stealing the actual CD instead of downloading is way cheaper than file sharing. Read for yourself...

What's for Dinner: Got a bunch of stuff in the refrigerator and you don't know what to make with it. Why don't you try Cooking By Numbers? I've given you Web sites like this before, but this one is even easier because you don't even have to type the words in. You just check off the ingredients that you have in your fridge and cupboard and it comes up with something for you.

Move Over Tom Hanks: If you remember that big piano and dance in FAO Schwarz in the movie "Big" - then you need to check out the video of the fancy footwork by some store employees. Watch the video...

When To Plant Veggies: Now, if you're like the Click Chick, you have a brown thumb - OK, I mean that figuratively - but that's literally true on one half of my thumbs. I've been told now is a great time to plant lettuce and swiss chard. And if you want to know when to plant vegetables, check out the When To Plant Vegetables Diary. It was created in the UK. But, you can set your weather dates to the USA.

Gourmet Tribute: And my recipe of the day is a tribute to Gourmet magazine as Conde Nast is closing up shop on the gastronomic guide after the November issue. Yes, I had a subscription. Yes, I'm devastated. So, today's recipe is from the Gourmet Web site - it's Roasted Mushrooms Escargot Style. So, yes, it's a recipe for snails, without the snails. And I've had Escargot and its good. Recipes from Gourmet will still be available on Epicurious.com - one of my favorite sites. So all is not with Gourmet.

Buffy vs. Twilight Vamp: Oh those funny, creative types in Hollywood. I ran across a woman's posting. She's a big fan of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and also a big fan of the Twilight series about teens and vamps. So she posted a little video showing how a Buffy vs Edward Cullen meeting would go.

10/7 - Channeling Caruso: In the past, I've posted that link of that funny Web site that has all those CSI: Miami, David Caruso one liners when he says a line, puts on the shades and walks away, usually before the opening credits and music. Well, guess what's got 9 million hits on YouTube? Jim Carrey imitating David Caruso on Letterman. Carrey even does Caruso doing imitations of other people. And to steal some of David Letterman's ratings which have soared since his, errr..., confession. Guess who's done a spot on imitating Matthew McConaughey... Matt Damon. I've seen him imitate Denzel Washington and now this. I don't care who you are, that dude's got talent.

Capitalism - A Child's Story: So just how will actor Steve Carell's daughter make money hand over fist this summer? She set up a lemonade stand in front of the house... and sold it to paparazzi and a star walking his dog waiting to snap photos of celebs. I say that's capitalism at its finest and ... youngest. Read the story...

Dog Toilet: I heard about it listening to 'America in the Morning' about 4:30am and I thought I might have been dreaming. I wasn't. It's the Powerloo - For What Dogs Do. Ladies and gents - it's an outdoor flushable dog toilet. It is a outdoor toilet that you hook up to your plumbing to do away with doggy doo. No, it does not look like a regular toilet. It does come in several colors to "compliment any landscape." See for yourself and watch the commercial...

Star Wars Uncut: I think I've probably found the geekiest of all Star Wars Web sites I've seen this year. It's Star Wars Uncut. And fans who loved Star Wars: A New Hope - the first movie released back in the late 70s, are encouraged to remake it. Here's how it works. "The entire movie split up into 15 second clips. Click on one of the scenes to claim it, film it, and upload it. You can have up to three scenes! When we're all done, we'll stitch it all together and watch the magic happen." I have to say, someone using an old Saturn as a Land Cruiser was rather ironic, because now that the Saturn brand is shutting down, it's going to be from a long time ago, in a dealership far, far away...

Movie Contest: American Airlines has a contest that could net you 700,000 frequent flyer miles. It's in conjunction with the new George Clooney movie "Up in the Air." All you have to do is go to their contest link and enter to win. And the prize includes a trip to the movie's premiere. But there is a catch. You have to buy a ticket on AA. The sweepstakes runs through Oct. 31, 2009.

BIG ANNOUNCEMENT: I'm giving one (1) listener or one listeners' teenage daughter or one mom who's a fan of the Twilight series - the chance to go to the movie screening of "New Moon" with me in November. You must be a KTAR Rewards member to enter for you chance to win. Click here for details.

10/6 - Tape and Your Face: I frequently get email from listeners saying, Click Chick, you have got to check out this site if you haven't seen it. Half the time, it's something I haven't seen yet and I have to share. But this one, I gotta agree with the fella who sent it to me. David Melcher wrote: Click Chick, this is "strange to say the least." You know what, David? You're right. It's strange and odd and looks remotely dangerous. It's called Tape Yourself. And it's just photos of people who have taped themselves or better, their heads. Now, what goes without saying is that this is dangerous and don't try this at home, kids.

Timewaster: Now, if you liked your Etch-a-Sketch back when you were a kid, you might like Many Lines. It's just some lines that you can draw all over your screen. You can increase or decrease the number of lines, change the colors, fade - do whatever you want.

Doggie Play Time: OK, how many of you have a wonderful animal friend? I mean a dog? Nothing against cats, but they don't play fetch. Well, if you've taken the lab or pit bull or your sweet little mutt out to play and they want to play fetch for hours, I've got something that will save your arm. I've found a video of a cute dog playing virtual soccer. this is generated considerable debate in the Web offices of KTAR.com. The Iowa Hawkeye here said it was cruel to put a virtual ball in front of the dog because he thinks it's real. I say, if he's running and barking like that, he's happy.

CR's Consumer Rip Offs: I found the list of Consumer Reports Top 10 Rip Offs - "the biggest money suckers in the consumer world." And bagged salad made that list at number 10 because "83 percent of the bags tested had brown or gooey leaves." Results are from a year ago, but they may help you in your pocket books today.

Funny Video: OK. Police see a middle aged man handing an under-aged girl some money... and you'd think you'd see something like this on "To Catch a Predator." But not in this video. It's called Don't Judge Too Quickly. Most of them are pretty clever and pretty funny, and proves that you should be really careful before you make assumptions about what you think you might be seeing if you're late to the party. Let's just say if you're holding a knife and the cat and it's covered in spaghetti sauce when your honey gets home, there's a logical explanation!

10/5 - Dancing Dog: We all loved Riverdance...especially during pledge month on KAET. But move over, Riverdancers, I give you Riverdog. Now, there is a bit of debate in the Web office here at KTAR. I think someone put taps on the dogs paws and he's really tapping. My co-hort, an Iowa Hawkeye no less, who says she thinks it's fabricated.

Ride for a Cause: You got a Harley or a Honda? Or any kind of motorcycle for that matter? Then join in on the Phoenix Ride for Kids benefiting the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation. It's October 11th, so put on your boots and helmets and help out.

The 100 Greatest Hits of YouTube...as compiled into about 3:30 minutes of time you'll never get back. And yes, you will see some of the Click Chick's greatest hits in there, including the little boy who had an interesting reaction to some dental work, a passionate plea for Britney, and a baby that loves to chew fingers.

Bacon Wish List: You know, it's less than 90 shopping days until Christmas, and boys and girls, it's now time for the Click Chick to start writing a letter to Santa. Here's my first draft. "Dear Santa, I've been very good this year. I've been nice to Connie and most of the time I'm nice to Ned. So, if you would, kind sir, please send me the SnorgTees' Bacon Makes Everything Better T-shirt." It's only 18.95. But I'm getting one. It will be my signature shirt.

Wine Web site: And if you're a wine lover, you've got to check out www.weheartwine.com. It's a blog by some folks breaking into the wine industry and they post "reviews, articles, food pairing and recipes, glossary terms, and a daily posting called "Grape of the Day" (GOTD) that explores a new grape varietal each day." They say they're making it as non-stuffy as possible.

Another Bacon Blog: It's called Bacon Concentrate and it's "A recipe emporium and blog for people love their meat smokey, their hot sauce extra tangy, and their cheese abundant." All I have to say is, they know me sooooo well. That has to be the perfect food combination. On said blog today, I found another one of those recipes that let you make chocolate cake in a cup.

Is It Done?: Want to know if meat is done? I found a chart that shows you The Finger Test to Check the Doneness of Meat.

Office Pranks: And I found a site that features the "Best Office Pranks of All Time." And I have to say, I would really like to try a few of these - Like stuffing someone's cubicle with popcorn, covering someone's car with post it notes (and might I add they didn't trying on one of those honking, huge SUVs) and the always classy tacks on the toilet seat.

Timewaster: It's called Patience Deluxe. You have a deck of cards laid out in rows and not in order. Your goal is to lay them all down in decreasing order of importance. So, if you don't know the difference between an deuce and a queen, you're in trouble.

10/2 - Cow Limo?: Now you can say you've seen it all: a limousine sporting a cow, a pig, and a duck on top. It squirts milk at other cars and shoots simulated cow chips - aka brown ping pong balls. Add a giant cow patty on the trunk, and you've got yourself a classy ride. And if you think I'm kidding, just call The Cow Chip Inspector. It's perfect for the prom, weddings, bachelor parties and weddings. Pics • More Pics

Cute Animal Moment: I've found real life hungry, hungry hippos. Actually, it's pygmy hippo and her baby hippo and said baby is about the size of the leaf of lettuce it's trying to eat. And I've also got video of a different mother and her baby hippo frolicking at the zoo somewhere.

Historic Video: The Anne Frank House Museum in Amsterdam is has begun airing the only known video fo the teenage diarist on her own dedicated channel on YouTube. I've got the link to that on the blog. Click here for more...

Human Sounds: This is from Bicycle Built for 2,000. Someone recorded more than 2,000 human voices via the Internet and put them together to sing Daisy Bell. Employees were told to just sing what they heard and a guy put it all together. Watch the video where he explains how it worked. Pretty interesting stuff.

Girls Gone Grabbin': What would Jeff Foxworthy Post? Of course, since he's a guy, he'd put up video of Girls Gone Grabbin'! Yes, it's safe for all audiences, unless, of course, you're a catfish. Apparently, south of the Mason Dixon line, I presume, girls put on their daisy dukes, athletic shoes and like to jump into ponds and catch catfish with their bare hands. It's not quite the deadliest catch, but I gotta admire their skills. No, I don't know if it's an official sport of the Redneck Games.

Cars With Issues: How would Jeff Foxworthy follow that up? Oh, how about That Will Buff Out. And Ned, Yankee though you are, I think you could appreciate this automotive Web site. It features automobile disasters, mishaps and crazy car modifications. And that includes, the car made to look like a gator - yes, an alligator. And a car that apparently didn't pay attention to the One-Way sign and got an instant makeover by said One-Way sign.

10/1 - Blake Griffin's Power: Just in case you don't know who Blake Griffin is, he's one of the LA Clippers and was the #1 pick in the NBA draft. Well, Andrew Long decided he wanted some of Griffin's power. So, Griffin agreed to sign Long's panini (and laughed at the request). But long couldn't be more pleased and it seems his little experiment was successful. Watch the video. It doesn't get interesting until about a minute in.

Create Your Own Font: Never can find the right font for what you're trying to do? Or do you think your kids have such cute, fun handwriting that you'd like to turn it into a font to use for Christmas cards, birthday party invites or letters to grandma? Well, I found something for you. It's called fontcapture.com. All you need is a printer and a scanner and you can create your own font for free!

Some Bad Inventions: I give you folks inventions that never really should have seen the light of day...or a basement or lab somewhere. OK, so you live in a crowded apartment. where do you keep the baby? how about a baby cage that sits out the window so the baby can get all the Vitamin D it needs? And back in the day, just how did we keep a dog under control. Why not try the dog restrainer. More bulking and probably more expensive than an old rope you could use for a leash. It just looks like a giant pair of tongs. And don't forget the yodeling meter. It would be a source of ENDLESS hours of joy at this years Thanksgiving meal if you ask me. See the list...

Puppies Dressed Up: OK. Last week, I gave you the link for Animals with Casts. I know, I thought it was the cutest thing ever too. Until, one of the snap crack members of the Click Chick's investigative team told me that Tonight Show host Conan O'Brien might have done something a little cuter. O'Brien says it's his job as the host to make people happy. It's Puppies Dressed as Cats.

Pet Charity: Not only does the Click Chick think you should participate in the canned food drives for the needy and help give to food banks, but I think you might want to also consider helping pets displaced from their family homes by the economy. You can set up of a collection bin for pet-related items at your office. Just go to wishbonesforpets.com. it starts today and runs through Nov. 15. It's being organized and run by professional pet sitters.

9/30 - Batman vs. Ironman: Remember in high school English you had to compare and contrast in essays, etc. Well, someone has put together a video comparing and contrasting Ironman and Batman. Both are billionaire playboys who run their own companies. Both have butlers and quasi romantic femail friends. But their differences, well, just watch for yourself for an amusing chuckle. Watch the video...

Things Left in Books: have you ever wondered what ever happened to that family photo of you with goofy during your first trip to Disneyland back in 1978? Or what about that shopping list your mom so carefully wrote out for you when she handed you her ATM card and said, go pick these things up from the store for me. Well, you may have left it inside a book for safe keeping or a bookmarker. This Web site that features things left inside books including classic family photos, old shopping lists, crazy doodles and more. Heck, you might find old Uncle Ned in there...

The 10 Commandments Quiz: How many of us really know the 10 Commandments - I mean that for those of you who never went to CCD, vacation bible school or Hebrew school. I won't call this a Timewaster because it's biblical and I don't want God to think i'm inferring in anyway he's a waste a waste of time - because he isn't - and that was your sermon of the week. But back to the point, I found the Saint or Sinner 10 Commandments. There's a long list of commandments on this site - but you know there are only 10. So you have move the right ones to the tablet. Once you do, you're then quizzed about how well you keep the commandments - I reached holy roller status - but i'm not quite a saint. Now, there's a surprise! I guarantee your friends will find this one interesting if they're truthful. And yes, it's anonymous.

iPhone App Update: Via Twitter, I asked what iPhone app I should download first - and it occured to me - the answer is obvious. I downloaded app to listen to KTAR while I was in So Cal - and I did! But when I bought the phone - no kidding here - a law enforcement officer suggested Trapster. It alerts you as you approach police speed traps.

Yet Another Bacon Link: I've got a bacon link and I don't know why I haven't seen it before: 100 Ways to Use a Strip of Bacon. Some of the recipes we've seen before, like the infamous Bacon Explosion log, but some news ways to bacon are included that I haven't seen before including bacon bits in popcorn and the Father's Day Breakfast Pan Cake. That last one gives new meaning to the short stack.

Jazz Downloads: The Click Chick loves jazz. And if you're a jazz lover, you might wnat to try out this jazz site www.jazz-on-line.com where you can download old time jazz online including the likes of Ma Rainey, Bessie Smith and Chick Webb.

Headline of the Day: It's long, but if you've ever lost something when flying, this will give you some tangential form of satisifaction: Man Tracks Down And Gets Prosecuted Baggage Handler Who Stole His Camera, Delta Still Won't Refund.

9/24 - Cutest Animal Web Site of the Year: What makes people go all soft and gooey inside? What generates endless hours of ohhhs and ahhhs? Baby mammals. Human babies constantly and deservedly get fussed over. And who can't but help to want to pick up and cuddle puppies and kittens. But I've found something that trumps all of that: Animals With Casts. From the Web site: "Animals with casts are really cute. We hope they get better soon!" I know, makes me want cuddle 'em too.

Kid Picture Contest: Gap Kids is starting it's casting campaign for it next faces of babyGap and GapKids. Send in your child's picture and he or she could win a photo shoot, their picture in Gap stores and $1,000 Gap gift card that mommy can use to buy the Click Chick a nice gift for suggesting the contest... And a VIP vacation to see Disney's Lion King in NY or Vegas. Click here to enter...

Christmas Stuff, Already?: Thanks to the economy and the need to jumpstart sales, Toys R Us is ramping up its business. And they're hoping a $10.99 hamster will be the cure. The line of Zhu Zhu Pets' Hamsters was tested right here in Arizona and they sold out. They are interactive, talking hamsters. Translation: you don't have to clean up after them. They're robotic. However, the sounds they make might drive a mom or dad a little batty. So, I went to the Toys R Us Web site and discovered, they are still sold out. But you can check out the video to see how they work. And remember, the have three months to get some more in. They're for girls ages 4 - 8.

The Christmas Toy I Never Got, But Really, Really Want: What toy does the Click Chick want for Christmas? I mean, what real toy? The Death Master 3,000 Nerf machine gun. The fun I could have with my nephews on a day in the mountains. Yes, I have a picture of it.

Timewaster: What do you get when you have balloons, a dart and a monkey? Bloons. Your goal in Bloons is to get the monkey to throw darts at the ballons to get them to pop. Yes, absolutely mindless entertainment...

Big Baby, Really Big Baby: One of the most emailed photos in Yahoo! happens to be a picture of at 19.2 pound baby boy born in Sumatra. It was the heaviest newborn born in that country. All I have to say is this: A co-workers' 4 month old is 15 pounds.

High Def Nature Videos: Do you like the Discovery Channel or the Nature program on PBS? Then you'll want to try out Earth Touch. This Web site has high definition nature videos. Yes, wildlife in high def on your PC. It seems like hours of fascinating entertainment if you ask me. Their goal is to post nature videos from filmakers within 48 hours of being shot - not matter where in the world it's shot.

9/23 - Wacky Showerheads: I just had a new eco-friendly, water-saving showerhead installed and I think I made the right decision after I got a look at the Top Wacky Showerheads for Your Home.

Mood Music: So, I always give you Timewasters. In respect to the bosses out there that freely let you check out the Click Chick blog (meaning they don't block it with ye olde Firewall), I've found a link for "The Best Sounds for Getting Work Done." Apparently, the right sounds can help "hone your focus."

Magazine Covers: OK. The title is a warning in itself. It's The Most Controversial Magazine Covers of All Time. And speakig of Time, that magazine has had its share of controversial covers - including devil horns on Bill Clinton and Rev. Billy Graham.

Remember Reminder: Are you forgetful? Then I've found the Web site that will help you remember everything. OK, maybe not everything, but all the important stuff like, turning the water off manually after 2 hours, instead of, I don't know 2 weeks, like my yard guy did. The funny thing is, I can't remember if I've featured Remindr or not. But this will serve as a reminder. With Remindr, you can remind yourself with messages through Twitter, email, and text message to do, retrieve, turn off whatever you need to. It's easy and it's free... unless you have to pay for text messaging.

TV House: Now, some of you may live in homes that are neat and orderly as the Cleavers (Leave it to Beaver). Some of you may live in homes that are more like the Connors (Roseanne). If you're like me, you probably grew up in a palatial estate with the occasional head of livestock wandering around like the Beverly Hillbillies. Yes, I'm kidding....well, maybe not about the livestock. It seems someone out there loves The Simpsons so much, made their house look like the one the Simpsons live in Springfield. Yes, I'm talking about Marge and Homer's house. See for yourself...

Air Force One: Want to see what it's like aboard Air Force One without the strain and stress of running for office? Then check out National Geographic Channel online Air Force One animation. They've got an animated program that shows you where the medical room is, where the president sleeps and all that interesting stuff. FYI, It costs $40K an hour to run the plane - most of that is spent on gas.

Timewaster: It's called Liquid Measure. Your goal is to fill all the pots with water to get to the next level. However, you have to remember not to waste water. It's easy at first, but wait until you get to level 8. It's actually a great tool for students too.

Green News: Find out how a farmer saves $200K with poo power - yes, he converted manure into electricity. Read about it here...

Recipe of the Day: It's Man Happy Cookies - Apparently they'll make your man happy because they've got chocolate and peanut butter in them.

Toy Trick: This recipe will save you money at the toy store come the holidays. I've found the recipe for Playdough. You'll have to put it in the real Play-Doh canisters because kids are not so easily fooled like they used to be, thanks to the Internet...

---

9/22 - Little Duo: They're the cutest singing duo this side of the 1st grade. Here they are are singing on Easter Sunday - nevermind the fact that the younger one loses interest whenever he isn't singing - but, I have to say, for their age, these too little fellas made it all the way through "He Arose."

Net Neutrality: I'm going to get political here. How does the Click Chick stand on net neutrality. I'm obviously for it as I try to access a lot of stuff on the Internet. The telecom industry and I disagree on this. Well, the FCC and some GOP Senators are at odds over it too. I'm posting an article so you can judge for yourself and figure out what net neutrality is if you don't know what in the world I'm talking about. Read about it here...

Halloween Treat: You have to serve these cupcakes at your Halloween Party. They're Brain Cupcakes. It's a red velvet cake with chocolated brain frosting for all the zombies in your life. What's not to love?

Iron Man Update: The Click Chick loved "Iron Man." Even my mom loved "Iron Man." Because of this, I dispatched my legion of spies in Hollywood to get some info on the new Iron Man movie due out in 2001. And they didn't disappoint. They smuggled out super top secret footage from the new Iron Man movie. I love the fact that Tony Stark is testifying before Congress and one of those congressman is played by none other than the grand high inquisitor himself, Garry Shandling. You might need your Little Orphan Annie decoder ring to understand some of the audio, but you'll pretty much understand what's going on because there's a blog that explains everything that accompanies the video. See for yourself...

Neat Movie Search Tool: Speaking of movies, I found another one of those movie recommendation search engines. It's called clerkdogs.com. It's in the beta testing phase, but why not give it the old college try? You type in a movie you love - like say - "Iron Man." Click on Match and it will match you with other titles that you might like and make a comparison. For Iron Man, the 2006 Daniel Craig Casino Royale was recommended with the comparision saying it was more brutal and it was.

Simple Web Site of the Week: Is Twitter down is one of my favorite sites because of its awesome simplicity. Now, in a similar vein, for those of us who want to know if you accidentally came to work on a holiday, check out, Is it a holiday today? No more explanation need there.

Babies and Beyonce: Even babies love Beyonce. They especially love dancing to her video, Single Ladies. I've found Web page that has is filled with videos of all these little kids and I mean, kids in diapers, dancing to the tune. Instead of donning a black leotard, little Arianna chose pink to do her little pint-sized moves. Kids dance to Beyonce...

Photo of the Day: Eureka! I've found it. It's the lesser of two weevils.

9/21 - The Ultimate Vegas Necessity: You have to have a fake name when you go to Vegas. It's probably the law somewhere. Anyway, coming up with a fake name isn't always easy. So, I give you the Fake Name Generator. And not only does it generate a fake name, you can pick different countries and cultures. So, I picked an Japanese name, but made myself a citizen of the UK. So, my fake name is Kikuyo Furuta and I live in West Bagborough, England. It gave me a fake email, address, and my occupation is sailor. And I'm 5 years younger!

At the Emmys: Jimmy Fallon was making fun of Kanye West, like a lot of people did at Sunday night's Emmy's until he took a fall. Apparently, that fall wasn't scripted.

Origami Instructions: Found a neat activity you can play with the kids if they're stuck in the house during a rainy weekend... in Seattle. I mean, when did it last rain here? Actually, it's a Web site that shows you how to make origami. It's pretty neat and should occupy them for a few minutes.

Animals Love Lightsabers: Ladies and gentelman, residents of tattoine, banthas, droids and Jedis, I give you... AnimalsWithLightsabers.com. I know, why would you give a gorilla or the family dog a light saber? I think putting lightsabers in the hands of wild animals may not work out as well as you might thing. Sure, it might be amusing to give Fluffy and Fido lightsabers and let them battle it to see who gets put out for the night. But really, light sabers are dangerous weapons, not toys.

Recipe of the Day: If you like those Cheesy Garlic Biscuits they serve at Red Lobster, you can now make them at home as I've found a recipe for them online.

Circles: Ok, I don't know what this is. But it's a sort of Timewaster. It's like using your mouse to split the circles, kind of like cells split and then split again, and then split again every time you drag your mouse over them.

Good Lines: So just what are the 100 Best First Lines of Novels? The American Book Review put together a list. #1 - Call me Ishmael. We all know what that's from. And #88 amused me: "Of all the things that drive men to sea, the most common disaster, I've come to learn, is women." That's from Middle Passage by Charles Johnson.

Mom Site: Since half the women in the building here at KTAR seem to have just had babies (Welcome the world, kids!). I found a Web site that will be useful to moms out there. It's called Alpha+Mom. And it has baby, pregnancy and advice for handling toddlers, along with baby name suggestions and baby product reviews.

Another Sequel?: Well, he wasn't in Indiana Jones IV, you know, the one with Shia LaBeouf and the aliens? Apparently George Lucas and Steven Spielberg are trying to get Sean Connery to reprise his role as Henry Jones Sr. for Indie Jones 5. Read the story...

TV Newscast Bloopers: And just for fun, I give you the list of the Top 10 Newscaster Bloopers as selected by Time magazine, online. Some I've featured of these before, like what's bugging this weather. That was the weatherman who was afraid of a little roach.

---

9/18 - Crazy Hairdos (And I Mean Crazy): I know, what could rival peopleofwalmart.com or womenwithmoustaches.com? How about Don't Judge My Hair. Yes, there are mullets and bad hair days all over the place on that one. Ah, there might be an expletive or two in the commentary below the corresponding pictures. So, you've been warned.

Coupon Kingdom: The Web site is A Full Cup - from the folks who gave us RetailMeNot.com. You join up and get instant access to hundreds of coupons and you can share. If you want to be one of those people who has 50 coupons and 2 carts full of food and spend $25 , this might be the site for you.

More Bacon: From BBQaddicts, I give you Atomic Buffalo Turds. This recipe isn't quite that bacon log that uses nearly every kind of meat that edible to man. This one is bacon, hot mini links, jalapenos and cream cheese. Yep, that sounds good to me. This is a recipe for the smoker, grilling apparently doesn't seem to work.

Great Steak Marinade: My FAVORITE steak in town is that Houston's Hawaiian steak thing. Well, here's the Houston's Hawaiian Marinade recipe so you can make it at home.

Potato Fire: The video is called Fire from Potato? Yes. All you need is a potato, two wires, Two toothpicks, a cotton pad, salt and toothpaste. Yes, I know. If only the cavemen knew they didn't have to rub two sticks together to make fire. It would have advanced society soooo much faster. Looks real enough, but who really knows what you can do with a potato besides bake, boil or fry it.

Anchor Drops F Bomb: Well, a NY news anchor dropped the F-bomb on the air. However, it's not what made me laugh. Take a look at the look on his co-anchors face. Priceless.

OVGuide.com - Just ran across this site. It has links to all the top Web sites to watch streaming TV shows online for free. It has links to ABC, Hulu, the Eye network and few others I haven't even heard of.

Paula as Ellen: You can check out a picture and video of Paula Abdul imitating her AI replacement Ellen DeGeneres. Well, I have to say they both love to dance, but Paula would be Ellen in a dance off, but Ellen looks much better as a blonde. See this...

9/17 - Day 2 KTAR Radiothon: Hey folks! No blog today as I'm manning the LIVE BLOG here at Phoenix Children's Hospital. We're trying to raise oodles and oodles of cash for the only hospital of its kind in Arizona. If you've ever clicked on Timewaster, it's time to pay the piper. Please donate whatever you can - $1, $5 - ANYTHING - and you can help make a difference for kids in our community.

---

9/16 - TV History & Legends: Interested in the history of TV? Check out EmmyTVLegends.org - Archive of American Television. Some of the great TV legends from past and present give a lengthy oral history of their part in TV history. The archive has more than 600 rare, in-depthy videos with actors, producers and even the genius who created the remote control.

Harry Potter Theme Park: Hey kids, I know what you'll want to put on your Christmas list. As some of you may have heard, they're opening the Harry Potter Wizarding World theme park at Universal Orlando. So, start begging mom and dad for a trip now. It opens in Spring 2010. Hummm... that's just in time for Spring Break.You can check out a map, and conceptual designs that will include Hogwarts Castle, Filch's Emporium of Confiscated Goods, the Flight of the Hippogriff, and a dragon challenge.

Another Catchy Tune: What can really rival "Chimpanzee Riding on a Segway?" Nothing. But, this can still manage to give you brain freeze. It's "I'm a Kitty Cat."

Health Care Costs: Health care reform or no health care reform, if you get health insurance through your employer, you're more than likely going to have to pay more for it, according to a new article from the Washington Post. According to the Kaiser Foundation, 40 percent of employers surveyed said they'd likely increase the out of pocket amount of employees.

Dinosaur for Sale: How would you like to own your own dinosaur. Nope, not a live velociprator, although, that would be the ultimate home proection plan, but a T. Rex skeleton. Yes, apparently one of the best T Rex skeletons ever found is up for auction - where else but Vegas at the Venetian. Estimated value - $2M - $8M. The oldest known set of shark jaws is on the list along with some other things. To my pooch, Fezzie the Wonder Dog, they'd just be old bones to chew on. See for yourself...

Space People: I've told you about IsTwitterDown.com. It's one of those simple Web sites that let you know if it's up or down. Well, I found something kind of similar. It's called How Many People Are in Space Right Now? And all it has is the number of people in space...right now. Plus a little astronaut figure. It's brilliant in its simplicity.

---

Robot Kitty: Robotics are huge in Japan. And now they've made the family cat into a robot. It's Dream Cat Venus - a robotic cat. It's an interactive pet that makes facial expressions when you pet her and she even raises her paw and licks it. She even rolls over on her back so you can rub it's stomach... just like my dog. Yes, there's video. It's pretty amazing. If your kids are begging for a pet - think of the joy of not having to change the kitty litter and I'm pretty sure she's hypo allergenic. And the best part - no coming home and having kittens in the closet. And she'll only cost you $130.

Another Bacon Link: Someone sent me a link from Instructables.com that shows you step by step guide that shows you how to make your own bacon. Next time I go visit the folks, maybe I'll have Mr. Bass try it out. That way if it comes out bad, I can blame him.

Food Flags: From the Sydney International Food Festival, I give you: Flags of the world... made out of food.

Mustaches on Chicks: I've gotten lots of email from folks who said they quite enjoyed my link to the peopleofwalmart.com. Now, how could I follow that up? Well, a co-hort sent me a link to .... womenwithmustaches.com. Need I say more. For some reason, actor Orlando Bloom made the list.

Another Man's Trash Bag...: OK, the Click Chick isn't all silly and all bacon all the time (but I will have a bacon link next hour). Let's talk about art this morning. You have to check out artist Joshua Allen on YouTube. He makes street art out of your friendly neighborhood trash bag. He first made a bear. It looked like trash put over a subway grate and someone snapped a video of the inflated bear and posted on YouTube. You know, seeing one of his alien monsters inflate randomly probably freaked someone out though. Wish I could have run across that unexpectedly. Check it out...

Horrible Laugh: Maybe this explains why the French have an unbridled love for Jerry Lewis. This YouTube clip is called "The Worst Laugh in the World." And you know, it doesn't even sound human.

Today's Timewaster: It's called Multitask. It puts "your multitasking skills to the test by seeing just how many games you can play at once!" You think it might be easy, but you need coordination. You're balancing a ball with your left and right arrow keys and trying to avoid spikes with the up and down keys.

New Web Site to Buy & Sell Stuff: Have something to new or used sell? Put it on NOITWORLD.COM. It's easy to use, has worldwide listings and this online store allows you to repost listings that you list or you find while browsing to your social media pages - yes, that means Facebook, Twitter, etc. It's a brainchild of two Arizonans, one of whom is an Army vet.

Recipes of the Day: Just for KTAR's resident baker Jayme West. It's a tie. I couldn't decide between Apple Cream Cheese Cookie Bars and White Chocolate Cinnamon Toast Crunch Cookies. Their both from the Picky Palate that claims to have "simple, family friendly recipes for even your pickiest eaters."

---

9/14 - MTV Video Catalog: I can't remember the last time I watched MTV or the VMAs. However, I want to say it's time to vote Kanye West off the entertainment island. I mean, to jump on stage and interrupt cute little Taylor Swift's acceptance speech was just plain dumb. But it goes to show how classy Ned's fave Beyonce is by giving Swift time to accept her award. That aside, if you have no idea who any of these people are and want to know what videos MTV, you can check out MTVmusic.com. This Web site is what the NY Times calls a "museum" of videos. So, watch to your heart's content - yes, there's even country music. I typed in Toby Keith and it was all there.

Oscar Seats: Want to sit in the bleachers for the next Oscar ceremony on March 7? You have until Sept. 20 to apply online and as many as 20K fans are expected to do so. The bleachers fall along the red carpet. Winners will be notified in October.

New Eagle Scout: Congrats to Zachary Benjamin Hart of Boy Scout Troop 513 - he made eagle scout. he completed 280 hours of community service.

Cat Bath: If you have a cat that likes to drink from everything but it's bowl of water, then I have found the video for you. This cat likes to drink from the faucet.... and bath under the faucet. And it's not the bathroom faucet, it's the kitchen sink this feline loves to play with.

Sports Meltdowns (Rap style): Someone has taken some our or most recent sports meltdowns - OK St. Coach Mike Gundy, fmr. Cards Coach Denny "They Are Who We Thought They Were" Green and others - and turned them into a rap video. You can watch Gundy's his entire "I'm A Man" speech on its own. That was after he team won. The video's had well over 1.3M hits. Of course, I wonder how he feels about that OK St. loss to Houston over the weekend.

Taylor Swift, KISS-style: KTAR Jim Cross is a big fan of KISS and wanted me to share the video of Taylor Swift joining Keith Urban on stage, dressed like Ace Frehley of KISS. Where whole band donned the black & white make up. Watch the video...

Banana Rap: Now, I didn't think anything could beat this catchy little tune. But someone sent me the Banana Rap Song. Yes, it's safe for the whole family - even the banana lying tantilizingly in a bowl of cereal.

Cheap Art: Can't afford the real Mona Lisa or or Monet's Water Lilies? Then go to AllPosters.com. They have more than 500,000 posters and prints. Everything from travel to humor to fine art, fantasy, food and the holidays.

Vote For Eddie: One of my favorite Valley chefs, Eddie Matney, is nominated for Most Influential Person in Food in AZ by Arizona Foothills Magazine and you get to vote. So, if you've enjoyed his cuisine, and trust me, I have many, many times, please vote for Eddie.

Big Fish: We always hear about the one that got away. Well, I've found a Web site that got pictures of the Largest Sea Creatures Ever Caught, including a 9 foot long catfish. I don't know if it was edited - however - the whole village got to eat it. I wouldn't mind a bite of the largest crab every caught.

---

9/11 Remembrance: This is the first year that the 9/11 terrorist attacks is a federally-recognized National Day of Service and Remembrance. there are a couple of web sites that can help you to serve. you can check out http://911dayofservice.org/ (mygooddeed.com) where you're encouraged to "post your personal plan to perform a good deed, volunteer or engage in another charitable activity." You can also go to www.servicenation.org.

Joe Wilson's Going to War: I know. Which one? I'm not talking about the Texas congressman who had movie made about him starring Tom Hanks (because that's Charlie Wilson) or Joe Wilson. Nor am I talking about CIA operative Valerie Plame's hubby. I'm talking about the South Carolina congressman who heckled the president the other night. On his Web site, he says he vows to fight government takeover of health care. So, Newsweek did some research and found out Wilson is part of government run single-payer health care funded by the Department of Defense. FYI, the article also notes he's voted 11 times against health care for veterans...

Pooch Pampering: GlamourDog.com is a Web site full of all kinds of fanciful and useful things for the pampered pooch in your life. You can get clothes, carriers, collars and leashes, jewelry and salon products for dogs of breeds and sizes. And if you're like me and love those Ed Hardy shirts, they have Christian Audigier dog couture by Chrome Bones. Yes, Ed Hardy for your dogs and it ain't cheap. That includes apparel, beds and a $320 carrier. (Psssst! You can get Ed Hardy shirts at Marshalls for $39, so tie that on your dog if you want to save cash!)

Obama Wants to Indoctrinate Your Kids!: That got your attention, didn't it? The Click Chick investigative team found out the skinny on the real speech President Obama wanted to give your kids before the outrage hit the airwaves. And I have to say, be very, very afraid America. His speech, titled " Skip School to Stay in School" would scare any red, white and blue American. Yes, I'm being sarcastic. Actually, this video is from FunnyorDie.com and it's the speech they think he should have given. You might be in impressed with how well the comedian imitated Obama's speech patterns.

Online Medical Tool: Now something useful - try RememberItNow.com. This is perfect for people who take lots of medications or if you have an older relative who does and you want to keep up with what they're taking. It's a personal health management service that helps you organize your medicines or medications for a relative. It sends texts or email reminders to take medications, connects patients with health care providers and has health tools like journals, charts and medication history.

Harry Potter Timeline: For you Harry Potter geeks - St. Louis Today mapped out The Ultimate Harry Potter Timeline. Meaning, it explains when everything happened in the Harry Potter universe, based on the date of the death of Nearly Headless Nick.

9/10 - Crazy Mugshot: I have found America's Worst Mugshot. I didn't think anything could beat James Brown or Nick Nolte's mugshots. But this mugshot has earned a Florida suspect Alan Dale Lee the moniker 'Dracula.' No, I don't think he's related to Christopher Lee. Sun: Just Tell Us the Tooth...

Phoenix Twestival 2009: If there's one thing the Click Chick loves, it's helping out the St. Mary Food Bank. And you can help out on 9/11 by taking part in Phoenix Twestival. It's just a bunch of people getting together at 6 p.m. at aloft in Tempe for a "meet up" w/silent auction and a raffle. Cost: $10 - $20. More information online at: phoenix.twestival.com/

Am I Taking Crazy Pills? It's the Same Story!: OK, if you're one of those people who doesn' t like sci-fi, doesn't pay attention to sci-fi and fantasy or think it's all the same thing. You are not alone. From the Spitefulcritic.com, I found the column: "Hold On, I've Seen This Before: How Star Wars, Star Trek, The Matrix, and Harry Potter are Actually the Same Movie." It's starts like this "Do your favorite movies sometimes seem a bit…familiar? When discussing Harry Potter, do you sometimes mistake Voldemort for Darth Vader? Do Neo's abilities in the Matrix remind you of the Force..." Well, if you've thought that, this is must read reading for you.

Heckling the Prez: So, South Carolina. Your politicians certainly know how to make the national stage (Gov. Sanford, where are you?). When Rep. Joe Wilson heckled the president during his speech to Congress last night, that prompted the Democrats to open their wallets and donate the party, according to ABC News' George Stephanopolous' blog.

Crazy on Craigslist: You have to be careful what you post on Craigslist, unless it's something we would find funny. I've found a list of the 20 Most Bizarre Craigslist Listings of All Time. Now, I must say, someone might come along and best these, but for now, these are the best. That includes a woman wanting to rent out her "large" bathrooom, someone sought to pick up orange juice for a lazy person and woman sought to sit in a tub of spaghetti. Oh, she can wear her bathing suit. Well, that makes that offer irresistible!

Timewaster: It's called Spin It Up. You're basically trying to match up moving shapes with annoying music with ridiculous lyrics if you start at Level 1. The song doesn't rise to the level of "Chimpanzee Riding on a Segway," but the game is interesting.

Holy Ice Cubes, Batman: These are gag gifts that people actually might hold onto. From OneMoreGadget.com, they've put together the list of The Greatest List of the Coolest Ice Cubes Around. They include ice shooters - shot glasses you can make out of ice - and my personal favorite - the ice that look like granny's dentures. And for the people who still live in mom's basement - ice cubes that look like the invaders from Space Invaders.

Recipe of the Day: Still too hot to turn on the oven? I found a recipe for Raw Cheesecake.

9/9/09 - Monopoly on Steroids: How many of us have amassed empires with the likes of controlling Park Place, Broadway, Marvin Gardens, the utilities and the all the railroads? You know what I'm talking about - Monopoly! Well, it's gone global with the online game Monopoly City Streets which uses Google Maps as the game board. You start out with $3M and you start buying streets and properties in major cities around the globe. Heck, why not buy the Champs Elysee in Paris?

Crazy Pet Accidents: You can vote on them! This year, the Veterinary Pet Insurance Co. (VPI) invited people to vote on the most outrageous pet health insurance claims filed over the past year. The will be given the Hambone Award. See all the 12 candidates...

Storm Trooper Exercise Video: OK, you're a Storm Trooper. You've got a laser shooting gun-type implement. I know, someone out there in the Star Wars universe knows the exact name of said gun, but I'm more of a Trekkie, so I don't know the technical name. Anyhow, I found the way for Leia and Luke to finally defeat the Empire. My secret minions have smuggled out a video secretly taped on Tattoine called "Things You Can't do as a Storm Trooper." The way to defeat them is - Pilates. Apparently, it's difficult to do in those white storm trooper gear. Imagine that?

Help Win A Xbox Gameroom for PCH: Hey folks, how would you like to help the Phoenix Children's Hospital win a Xbox Gameroom? Microsoft is giving 3 Children's Miracle Network hospitals an upgraded gameroom. The top three hospitals with the most votes will win. You are allowed 10 votes per day until the contest closes on Friday, October 16th. So vote early and often and it doesn't cost you a thing. Oh, and everyone who votes is entered to win an Xbox 360 Elite. Click here to vote...

Making Shopping Fun: Found a video and I have to say the title says it all. It's called "Awesome Ways to Grocery Shop." In France, apparently you can throw things in your basket and entertain people in videos. I like how some folks had their baskets in one aisle. And threw products into it from the next aisle over. And, hey Phoenix Suns, some's granny has a mean shot. She's mean with a bunch of bananas and a basket.

Old Surgical Tools: You know, in this health care debate, I think it's time I remind you folks how far we've come in terms of medicine. Someone posted 20 Scary Old School Surgical Tools. All I have to say is, I'll take a real leech over an artificial leech they used in the 1800s. The thing that surprises me most is that #1) they attempted to try brain surgery in the 1800s and #2, well, I've said enough right there.

Timewaster: It's easy. It's free and it looks pretty old school. It's Cursor Chaos and basically you're trying destroy space ships, water flowers with your storm cloud, exit your ghosts and more. It's all kinds of funs stuff and each level is different. And if you score low, like I did. The down arrow asks you if you're all thumbs.

9/8 - Scary Memorabilia Collection: What do 'The 40-Year-Old Virgin' and Mike Carano have in common? They both like to collect action figures. But that's not the only thing in Carano's collection. He has five minute videos of his memorabilia collection. Now, I don't think I'd put my old Josie and the Pussycat's lunchbox in my bedroom as decor like he did with his classic $6 Million Man lunchbox, but I do think it's kinda neat that he has one.

Boitano & Bacon: The creators of South Park asked this very question in song, 'What Would Brian Boitano Do?' Well, Food Network has the answer. They said he would cook. So they've given the Olympian his own show, called 'What Would Brian Boitano Make?' And of course, in one episode he took up the theme of bacon. OK, that's really the only reason he he made it onto this blog.

Go Granny, Go!: She's 91. Her car, Chariot, would probably would have qualified for Cash for Clunkers. Her car outlasted her three husbands. Did I tell you her car is a 1964 Mercury Comet Caliente? She's had it 45 years and has racked up about 559,000 miles. Read or watch the story...

Real Men of Genius: We've all heard those Bud Light commercials. I found a Web site that has them all in one place you can watch them whenever you want. Check out www.eazycheezy.net...

American Hamster: Listener Sherry Carter dropped by the MDA Telethon where I was working yesterday and said she loved the Chimpanzee Riding on a Segway link I posted last week and had to share it with family and co-workers. She said the guy that wrote that catchy tune, also wrote "American Hamster" which amused her. Funny, thing is, Canadian Hamster is the same song, except, Canadian...

Singing Meds: So, what do a group of practicing certified registered nurse anesthetists. They write medical parodies as The Laryngospasms.

9/4 - Bride Loses it with Laughter: That's right. There's video of a very lovely wedding. The bride is resplendent. The groom is handsome. The minister is ministerial. And the vows were written by Bugs Bunny. Watch the video...

Where's the Beef: Since it's college football season (oh and the NFL too), there will probably be a lot of consumption of beef products. It found a chart that says - Warning, for Dudes only. It's the Beef Made Easy chart. It has all the cuts of beef, where they come from on the cow AND how you cook 'em. Good eating, fellas.

Bacon Celebration: It's International Bacon Day on Saturday, Sept. 5. And how is the click chick going to celebrate? She's going to have bacon and eggs and a piece of egg bread toast. Apparently, Bacon Day is held on the Saturday before Labor Day. IBD day is celebrated in 5 countries.

Bacon Cookies: Vivian Thompson sent me the link for Bacon Cookies. Yes, there's more than one recipe. I have to say, some of them don't look half bad.
