Huckleberries Online

Inside Huckleberries — 11/7/07

*Kendramama/Soul Doubt just picked up her $50 gift certificate and plans to take hubby, Tony, to Outback Steak House to celebrate JBelle's generosity. JBelle awarded three certificates for her fill-in-the-blank Halloween contest. I'm still holding certificates for In The Know and Shinie.

*The lead pastor for the CDA Assembly of God Church (where I voted yesterday) has an extremely appropriate name: Dan Christ. It's pronounced "Krist," but still.

*Bumpersnicker (spotted in Boise Tuesday by CDA Councilman Mike Kennedy): "My senator's not gay, but my governor is Butch."

*Give credit to colleague Erica Curless for the best one-liner after the Black Thursday layoffs: "The Spokesman-Review tombstone will read better than the Coeur d'Alene Press."

*OK, I confess, I did say the following to Al Hassell and John Bruning prior to the vote count last night at Cricket's: "If I can survive the last week, you can survive tonight."
