I couldn't find a single bunch of flowers that wasn't wrapped in breast cancer awareness paper today. Yeah, I know I could rewrap but it annoyed me. They're for my friend who had a mastectomy yesterday and I'm thinking it would be in poor taste rather than showing support. I'm pretty gaddamn sure she's aware of breast cancer already.

It reminds me of the pink ribbon photo memory bracelet they proudly gave her when she was diagnosed. "Congratulations, you're going to die, time to start reflecting on all the people in your life....."

(I settled for a potted gerbera daisy in her favorite orange and I may just go to town with some googly eyes.....)

So long as she isn't Japanese. Never give a potted plant to a sick Japanese person. Temporary flowers only, not something lasting that will take root.

I'm sure googly eyes will overcome that.....

No, she's not Japanese.

In the Olde Country, they used to say not to give red and white flowers to someone in hospital (blood and bandages). Is that still the case, UK dwellars? anyone ever heart of it anywhere else?

New Zealand's campaign includes placing these pink tumors around town.

That is the epitome of tastelessness.

Looks like a bad case of swollen testicle. But actually, the Jolly Green Giant was in New Zealand recently, and inadvertently stepped on a sheep. The farmer, incensed, castrated the giant, and put his sac on display.

I bet that took the ho ho ho right out of his jolly ass.

Just got a new pair of pink Crocs yesterday. And my car already has breast cancer specialty plates:

The wife unit doesn't believe in mammograms. She prefers a thermogram
