Grandbaby Palin Arrives

It’s official. Sarah Palin’s a granny.  Reported at both People Magazine and CBS News, it seems baby Trigg, not yet one, is an uncle!

Bristol Palin, the 18-year-old daughter of former Republican vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin, gave birth on Saturday to a healthy 7 lb., 7 oz., baby boy in Palmer, Alaska.

“We think it’s wonderful,” said Colleen Jones, the sister of Bristol’s grandmother Sally Heath, who confirmed the news. “The baby is fine and Bristol is doing well. Everyone is excited.”

The baby’s name is Tripp Easton Mitchell Johnston and he was born at 5:30 a.m., according to Jones.

Baby Tripp takes his surname from his dad, Levi Johnston, an apprentice electrician and former Wasilla High School hockey player who has been dating Bristol for three years.

Fracas has noted a nasty, pin-worthy comment in the CBS article though.

“Heyman says there doesn’t appear to be any race among paparazzi to get the first photos of Tripp: “Listen. This is a very different kind of family. These people are having, you know, a private happy family moment, and certainly we wish them well. But I wouldn’t say this is the kind of celebrity baby moment that many people anticipate.”

Bristol Palin and Levi Johnston are new parents, baby Tripp Easton Mitchell Johnston born December 28, 2008Granted, I’m all in favour of a private, happy family moment, but what I don’t understand is why this baby’s birth shouldn’t be celebrated every bit as much as the birth of any Brangelina baby… or a baby Spears. The CBS article implies that because Bristol is a teen mom, and unwed, that her baby’s birth isn’t exactly a reason to celebrate and be joyful. I find that to be pin-worthy, and the fraccers doll agrees! 

After all, Brad and Angelina were not married when the 2006 Brangelina baby craziness went on, and Jamie Lynn Spears is also an unwed teen mom yet their babies were treated as though they’re the second coming of Christ. (Indeed, now that Obama has shown us he is the second coming… we know better, but back then, we didn’t Obama was going to save the world, we thought it was going to be the Brangelina baby to do so.)

Fracas believes that regardless of how or why a child is conceived and brought into the world, that child should be considered a joy and a cause to celebrate. The baby born to an unwed teenage daughter of a political candidate many despise and ridicule is of no less worth in the grand scheme, than the baby of a starving and homeless woman in a third world country, or an overblown and overly worshiped celebrity.

Fracas also notes that most other sites are reporting baby Tripp’s weight as 7 lb., 4 oz. instead of the 7 lb., 7 oz. reported by People Magazine. Given that People Magazine won the bid for who will get the photos, I’m going to go with the info provided by People… you’d think if they’re willing to shell out the bucks for the photos, they probably got the facts right.

So congratulations to Bristol Palin, Levi Johnston and their families. Please do enjoy your private, happy family moment and know that fraccers will take care of the necessary pins!

It’s Monday. Wanna cyber?


RedWagons.com
Everyone knows in the United States, the Monday following Thanksgiving is known as Cyber Monday… or Black Monday. It’s the biggest online shopping day in the year and I imagine, while not nearly as stressful as heading out to the brick and mortar stores on Black Friday, a few giggles amid the clicking away of your hard-earned dollars
Live Auction bidding starts as low as $1
just might be welcome. So… grab a cup of tea and while you’re enjoying some really great deals, Fraccers is pleased to share with you, a wee bit of shopping humor! 

 

Don’t Ask The Bird…
A lady was walking down the street to work and she saw a parrot on a perch in front of a pet store. The parrot said to her, “Hey lady, you are really ugly.”

Well, the lady was furious! She stormed past the store to her work. On the way home she saw the same parrot and again it said to her, “Hey lady, you are really ugly.”

She was incredibly ticked now! The next day the same parrot once again said to her, “Hey lady, you are really ugly.”

By now, the lady was so angry that she went into the store and informed them that she would sue the store and kill the bird. To this, the store manager replied, “That’s not good,” and promised the parrot wouldn’t say it again.

When the lady walked past the store that day after work the parrot called out to her, “Hey lady.”

She paused and said, “Yes?”

The bird replied…

You know.”

Fracas wonders if, had she just taken advantage of the free shipping and picked herself up a few makeover items, if she still would’ve been all that ugly to the parrot? Who knows? Maybe all she needed was a cellulite and stretch mark reducer product?

Shopping For A Man?
A “Husband Shopping Center” was opened where a woman could go to choose from among many men to be her husband. It was laid out in five floors, with the men increasing in positive attributes as you ascended up the floors.

The only rule was that once you opened the door to any floor, you must choose a man from that floor, and if you went up a floor, you couldn’t go back down except to leave the place.

So, a couple of girlfriends go to the place to find men.

First floor, the door had a sign saying: “These men have jobs and love kids.” The women read the sign and say: “Well that’s better than not having jobs, or not loving kids, but I wonder what’s further up?” So up they go.

Second floor says: “These men have high paying jobs, love kids, and are extremely good looking.” “Hmmm,” say the girls, “But, I wonder what’s further up?”

Third floor: “These men have high paying jobs, are extremely good looking, love kids and help with the housework.” “Wow!” say the women.”Very tempting, BUT, there’s more further up!” And so again, they go up.

Fourth floor: “These men have high paying jobs, love kids, are extremely good looking, help with the housework, and have a strong romantic streak.”

“Oh, mercy me. But just think?! What must be awaiting us further on?!” So up to the fifth floor they go.

The sign on that door said:

“This floor is just to prove that women are impossible to please. Thank you for shopping and have a nice day!”

Shopping – Then vs Now 
Question: What’s the difference between today and fifty years ago?
Answer: Fifty years ago, a person walked into a drugstore and said: “Some cigarettes, please,” then whispered, “and a pack of condoms.”

These Pants Really Work!
I went into this store the other day, to buy some
camoflage pants. Problem was… I just couldn’t see any!

(Ba-dum-dum!)

OUCH!
A woman shopping at a large, crowded discount store took several items to the checkout counter. After having to wait in a long line, she finally placed the items on the counter.

The checker, seeing that one of the items, a box of Tampax, had no price tag, got on the intercom and to the woman’s horror boomed out for everyone in the store to hear, “Price check on lane thirteen, Tampax, super size!”

As if this weren’t bad enough, the manager at the rear of the store mistook the word “Tampax” for “thumbtacks.” In a loud voice, he boomed back: “The kind you push in with your thumb or the kind you pound in with a hammer?”

Now That’s A Salesman!
The owner of an adult toy store  stepped out for awhile, leaving his new assistant in charge. Soon a Caucasian woman entered the store, pointed to the shelf behind the register and asked, “How much for that white dildo?”  “Thirty-five dollars,” answered the assistant. ”And the black one?” “Same price.” “I’ll take the black one,” said the customer. “I’ve never had a black one before.” The woman bought the item and left the store. 

Soon an African woman entered and inquired about the black dildo. “It’s thirty-five dollars,” the assistant told her. “And the white one?” “Same price.” “I’ll take the white one,” she said. “I’ve never had a white one before.” She paid for the item, and off she went.

Next, a Scotswoman entered and asked in a thick brogue, “How much might you be asking for the dildos?” ”Thirty-five dollars.” Suddenly, she spotted something that made her eyes light up. “A plaid dildo!” she exclaimed. “How much for that one?!” ”A lot more than you want to spend, lady,” said the assistant. “That’s a very special one.” ”Indeed!” said the woman. “It’s the tartan of my very own clan! I must have it!”

Later, when the store owner returned, he asked the assistant, “How did you do while I was gone?” ”Great!” answered the young man, beaming. “I sold one white dildo and one black dildo. Plus, I sold your thermos for a hundred and sixty-five bucks!”

A Seven Time Fraccer Talks…

70steen decided to tag me with a meme because she knows right now I can’t run. I suppose I can’t blame her, since the lovely tNb (tango) tagged her and what with all the visions of ‘men’ in silver pants filling her head, how could she think straight?

The rules are predictable and simple:

  • Link to your tagger and list these rules on your blog.
  • Share 7 facts about yourself on your blog – some random, some weird
  • Tag 7 people at the end of your post by leaving their names as well as links to their blog.
  • Let them know they have been tagged by leaving a comment on their blog.

To be different (because everyone knows all I ever do is straight-forward, no-nonsense, hard-hitting journalism) I’ve decided to go with a gimmick. Yeah… me… fracas, is going with a gimmick. Aren’t you shocked? I’m also posting this at fraccers instead of fracas. I know… I’m shameless. I’ll do almost anything to get the word out about this fraccing place.

Being that I was tagged by 70steen, I’ve decided to write my 7 things about my own teen years.

  1. I was (mostly) a ‘good’ girl, and so when I was about 13 and was trying to impress this new ‘bad’ girl who had come to our school, I agreed to smoke a cigarette right in the school bathroom. Being a K-8 school, we of course, were found out rather quickly. Being known as a ‘good’ girl, I was able to talk the teacher out of calling my parents! Score one for teenie fracas!
  2. I still have my 8th grade graduation dress. It fits my daughter. She looks lovely in it.
  3. The first high school football game I went to, it poured rain. I hated it. I never went to another. To this day, I consider football evil and horrid.
  4. I got in with a ‘bad crowd’ during the 9th and 10th grade and hated it. Getting out of that crowd wasn’t easy, they were terribly ‘accepting’ of all your flaws and problems when you’re getting involved with them, but aren’t so ‘accepting’ of people wanting to get out of the crowd. They will call you names and make you miserable as long as you let them know it’s working.
  5. My one-up older fraccy sis always felt like my best friend even when I had a typical ‘best friend’.
  6. Of my high school friends, I am the only one who, as a teen, did not get pregnant and have an abortion, get pregnant and give a baby up for adoption, get pregnant and have a baby and keep it as a teen mom or get pregnant and get married while still in high school. Apparently, I am the only one who wasn’t having sex as a high school teen. Birth control might work, but apparently… abstinence works best!
  7. I moved into my own apartment while still in high school. Perhaps it was memories of the other fraccy sis who lived what I thought was the Mary Tyler Moore life that gave me courage to do that, but I too, felt like Mary Tyler Moore. I never did toss the hat skyward. Perhaps I still shall? I think I shall wait for her to return from Oz and we’ll do it together!

Now for my seven tags – with no apologies for those who hate memes and tags because I’ve decided to just embrace the fact that I, like everyone else in the world, am a fraccer and stop worrying about being nice…

I am bestowing this malady pleasure upon:

  1. Scratchbags – because she’s been too busy working hard and needs a push to post for herself again.
  2. Judy, aka Sugar Queen – because she hasn’t posted since her birthday.
  3. Andy – because I can’t wait to see if he has 7 things about himself weirder than those PETA folks he just wrote about.
  4. Cat Scratch Diva – because she likes to have a ‘meme’ in her back pocket just in case…
  5. Your Neighborhood Reverend – because anyone who has an ‘Avocado Watch’ page on his blog must have more interesting things to tell. (BTW… no avocado photo for a month? Sheesh!)
  6. JD from I Do Things – because she rightfully should’ve done this meme so I don’t have to…
  7. Cowgirl Betty – because a gal can’t live by condiments alone… we need to know more!

Disclaimer: Remember, you don’t have to write yours about your teen years… you only have to write 7 things about yourself that others might not know…
