Love the blogs, I see you're now writing on a daily basis! How goody!:)

3 days in a row blogging.......better be careful, you are spoiling us groupies!

A lot of talk about giving you fruitcake for Christmas, I'd much rather send you my "Friendship Cake" starter. That's where you pass around the "starter" to a friend and then they make a cake and pass their "starter" to another friend, and so on and so on..... I mean, really, that starter batter gets around! Sammy might just like it too!

As far as the Lexus...will a new 1:18 scale die cast version work for you? It's easier to send in the mail...

Bottomline, the jury is still out what I might send you for Christmas. Maybe some of my favorite things, but then again, you don't wear make-up or need beauty products do you?

Thanks for blogging!

Being gift wrapped challenged I have always wondered how they get those big bows on those Lexus cars on tv. First the ribbon is enormous and then the package is kind of big as well. I would probably tie myself up in the ribbon and you'd have a nice red ribbon with me in the center of the knot. That would be scary – for both of us!

If you are a Fred Thompson fan you ought to watch his part in "Baby's Day out" – he had some classic lines in that one and he delivered them with a deadpan demeanor that made you say "Uh – did he just say that?" Somehow I just can't see electing someone to the highest office in the land that as an adult said "Tell them to turn around. We're going back to the tick-tock to get the boo-boo. And send for backup. ".

Saxby is a proud family name – the way of the South is to carry on surnames by making them given names. Saxby is one of many in a long tradition of homage to the past.....and I say this as a true and loyal Southerner.

Great post Jack – thanks for lightening my day!

Frankly, I was hoping that my undying love and devotion was enough of a gift; however, in light of doing my part to "support" the tanking economy, I got you a Kindle. (The first one is too hard to wrap!)

Now you can keep Anderson's book with you wherever you go. We all know that you are an undercover brownie hound (we see through those phony "Anderson deprecating" jokes....heh heh); this way you won't have to lug the actual book with you. (Would not want you to strain yourself). Plus you can astound him with your knowledge of cutting edge technology. See how I have your back, buddy?

Ok, I am off to find a third job, maybe next year you can have the Lexus. But you have to promise to be good!

PS: Anderson cannot name his iguana Saxby, I already snatched it up for my next dog! Okay, okay, I can share! Jeez!

Thanks for the laughs - three days in a row. Sure you're not working on that book? Your beginning paragraph makes me think of the song "You Don't Always Get What You Want."

Since I didn't hear anything in the news about someone in New York setting their hair on fire, does that mean you went to the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade - or was there just too much news to cover and your on fire story didn't make the cut?

First you missed your Thanksgiving turkey dinner and now your Christmas will be ruined because there won't be a 2009 Lexus with a bow outside your living room window. Poor Jack!

Jack, I could've sworn all of the 360 staff get treated with new Lexus's every holiday season. I just thought they gave Anderson 3 of them.

In my high school, my friends were driving new Audis and Porsches. My goddaughter (whose father was a Porsche driver) is 16 and has a BMW. My mom and her family were always partial to Cadillac sedans.. Except for the aunt that is into Mercedes. My cousin's wife gave him a Saab one year for the holidays. My stepmom drives a Mini Cooper convertible. I'm cheap and drive Hondas. Don't knock it, though, if people can afford it and want to share it. I'll more than gladly take any Lexus left in my driveway big bow and all.

Saxby is actually a cool name, BTW. Southerners often give their kids cool family names that baffle the rest of the universe. No exception in the Chambliss household obviously. And since Anderson is half-Southern by birthright, his pet deserves a cool name as well.

I agree the name Saxby is remarkable attractive. It's complex, yet simple; naughty, yet nice. It's everything you could ever want in a name. Although, I think it's not suitable for an iguana. It's too grand, too high brow, too elegant. Anderson's iguana can be called "Bob" or something like that.

Since, disecting Obama's EVERY DECISION is now the CNN way, I will add my two sense (well...more like one and a half). I like Richardson as Secretary of Commerce. I don't know much about the job. I don't know much about Richardson. But I like the fact that he's hispanic. Obama is forming a rainbow coalition (shout out to Jesse J.!!! Thanks for '84 and '88!) of a cabinet. It makes me smile.

Jack, I am a new fan! Keep 'em coming.

Of course you want a Lexus. Who wouldn't want a Lexus? It's a luxury car, made by Toyota. That means it doesn't resemble a Cadillac in any way.

Speaking of the letter 'x', there it is in 'Lexus'. It's in a load of brand-names. Exxon and Xerox have it twix. I mean twice.

I googled "fruitcake shelf life" and got this..."up to 30 days if left out and up to 3 years if refrigerated..." Hope this helps.

My husband freezes it and takes out a piece every so often.

Don't worry, Jack, I won't give you old fruitcake for Christmas...

And I must say that I agree with Fay! Daisy Duke needs to convince Anderson to start blogging again!

Another wonderful post Jack! You're blogs always make me laugh!
