I for one am tired of Christmas sneaking up earlier every year. For God's sake it's not even Halloween and we already have to deal with the Holiday Armadillo.

My kids had an Adam Sandler day for spirit week where they had to dress like Adam Sandler. It was the most random shit, teenagers don't care about Adam Sandler as far as I know.

What if I told you that an independent league baseball team in the Chicagoland area has a ketchup bottle mascot that wears a trenchcoat that "flashes" fans?

There's probably a lot of meat to be found in a seven foot armadillo. Are there any laws against hunting those?

Though honestly, the best part of living in Vegas is nobody knows how to dress appropriately to any event in town. A knights game or a school fall festival. You get such a range of, I hope this shirt doesn't cover up my entire nipple to I just came from Mormon church and am still not covered up enough.

A 7ft tall armadillo with genitalia to match could do some real damage is all I'm saying.

Especially one from Texas.

If you are interested in this topic I would highly recommend the book Consuming Kids by Susan Linn. It is about the hypercapitalization of children in schools. It's very informative, and readable. I did a presentation, and research paper on it for college, and I still think about it today.

It ties into various other subjcts such as childhood obesity, and diabetes (the many PepsiCola vending machines in schools), and the gendering/marketing of children's toys.

Salvation Army challenges Louisville mascots to works as bell-ringers

LOUISVILLE, KY (WAVE) - With the holiday season right around the corner, the Salvation Army Louisville area command is gearing up for its annual red kettle campaign. This holiday, they're calling for all Louisville-area mascots to get involved in the bell-ringing and take a shift for the new Mascot Challenge

The Salvation Army and Texas Roadhouse's mascot Andy the Armadillo are challenging collegiate, corporate, high-school and any other mascot to sign-up for a three-hour bell-ringing shift and compete to see who can raise the most money.

The mascot challenge will kick-off on Black Friday, November 26th and run through Saturday, December 11th. Mascots can sign-up for as many shifts as they like. The only requirement: they must wear their mascot costume.

"We were looking for a new, fun way to get the community involved in the red kettle campaign," said Major Keath Biggers. "A great mascot can bring a smile to anyone's face and the money donated through red kettles brings a smile to the face of our neediest citizens. We hope to make this an annual event where local mascots come out and compete for a great cause."

Mascots can accept the challenge by emailing [email protected] or by calling 671.4934. Our team will work with each mascot to get them set-up at a bell-ringing location. The winning mascot will be announced on Monday, December 13th. The salvation army hopes that by engaging these recognizable and loveable figures, it will reach its 2010 goal of raising $500,000.

The 2010 red kettle campaign officially kicked-off on Monday November 1st with a celebration outside of the cathedral of the assumption. For more information on volunteering or donating, visit ringbells.org or salvationarmylouisville.org

The Connection

As soon as they enter Texas Roadhouse, customers see differences between this new Chantilly restaurant and other steakhouses. Guests pick up bags of peanuts to munch on while watching TV in the waiting area where a handpainted mural of Chantilly and Westfield high school football players adorns the wall. "Chantilly and Westfield students make up the bulk of our front-of-the-house staff, serving as hosts and assistants," explained Shawn Page, the restaurant's managing partner. As customers are led to their tables, their hosts immediately give them a basket of homemade bread, mixed and baked on site and served with honey/cinnamon butter. And if they'd like a Cactus Blossom appetizer — a large, battered and fried onion mum served with Cajun horseradish sauce — the host will grab that, too, so the customers may enjoy it instantly, without waiting. "You can watch the steaks being prepared, as you enter, and you can pick your own steak from the glass display case, if you'd like," said Page. "There's even a digital juke box in the lobby," said marketing director Tina Chen. "It's free, it has a touch screen and it plays country music." A TEXAS-THEMED, scratch-concept restaurant, Texas Roadhouse is at 4993 Westone Plaza, at Route 28 and Westfields Boulevard, uphill behind the AmeriSuites Hotel. And customers may call ahead at 703-378-9887 to get their names on the wait list. Hours are Monday-Thursday, 4-10 p.m.; Friday, 4-11 p.m.; Saturday, 11:30 a.m.-11 p.m.; and Sunday, 11 a.m.-10 p.m. The restaurant has a fun, relaxed, casual atmosphere and, every so often, the hosts and servers cut loose and line dance in the aisles. "There's a lot of energy," said Chen. "Don't come here for a quiet dinner," added Page. Texas Roadhouse even has two mascots — Andy the Armadillo and sidekick Iggy the Iguana. And its decorations are geared to the local area. Murals feature a Washington Redskins helmet, the Hogettes and motorists driving on I-66 in a red convertible. There's also a painting of a cowboy, plus a large scene of Patrick Henry, George and Martha Washington and Thomas Jefferson barbecuing at Mount Vernon. George is wearing a "Kiss the Cook" apron, and Jefferson is writing the Declaration of Independence on a picnic table. Local university names and initials are in neon lights, and caricatures of famous NASCAR drivers decorate the bar area. The restaurant seats about 230 people, with 95 percent booth seating. It opened April 26 and has 160 employees. It's part of a 170-store chain, but is the just the fifth in Virginia and the first in Northern Virginia. "We did a lot of research, and we felt like the population numbers were good for this area," said Page, who lives in Centreville's Newgate community. "We're very excited about being here in Chantilly." "I lived in Fairfax County for many years, so we're glad to be back here, close to family," said market partner Jesse Griffith. "What sets us apart is that we stick to the basics — quality food, hand-cut steaks and a quality dining experience. When people come here, they feel like they're part of something — not just eating in a restaurant." Most of all, Texas Roadhouse prides itself on its food. "Our ribs are fall-off-the-bone," said Page. "You can lift 'em up, and that meat will fall off the bone without any tugging. We make everything from scratch — even the gravies, salad dressings and country-style green beans. Steaks, salmon, pork, chicken — everything is cut fresh on the premises in a refrigerated room to insure freshness." Steaks range from $8.99 for a six-ounce sirloin to $18.99 for an 18-ounce Texas T-Bone; pork ribs are $11.99 for a half slab and $15.99 for a full slab. Prime rib is served daily, after 4 p.m., while supplies last. Said Page: "It's slow-cooked and marinated overnight in secret spices so it's especially flavorful." THE GREEN BEANS are seasoned with ham and bacon, and the baked beans feature pieces of sirloin in every bite. Even the sweet potatoes are unique, since customers may order them topped with marshmallows and caramel sauce. And local residents had a hand in choosing the chili. "We had a Web site contest, asking the community if it wanted beans or no beans in the chili, and over 60 percent of the people wanted beans," said Chen. "More than 200 people voted, and two winners each received $100 gift certificates." Recently, Mary and Philip Jackson of Franklin Farm feasted on the ribs and ribeye combination there. "The ribs were outstanding," said Mary. "They were lean and perfectly cooked — tender and fall-off-the-bone delicious. They're the best ribs I've ever had. We're going to come back again." She also praised the "fun, casual and friendly atmosphere" and said the servers did a great job. Husband Philip called his baked potato and bread "excellent" and said he'd recommend Texas Roadhouse to others. Jay and Susan Vaccarino of Centreville's Belle Pond Farm community also enjoyed their meal. Susan had the ribs and chicken combo and raved about the tender ribs. "It was an excellent sauce, but not messy," she said. "And the barbecued chicken had a very good flavor." Jay pronounced his grilled chicken salad — with crisp greens, strips of marinated chicken, jack cheese, egg, tomato, bacon, red onions and croutons — "terrific," saying, "There was more than enough for me, and the chicken was great." But what he liked best, he said, were the baked beans: "The sirloin made them so flavorful — I never had baked beans like that before." He, too, said he'd recommend the restaurant to others because of the food and the service. Said Jay: "We can't wait to bring our son — who's away at college — here, because he likes ribs." Texas Roadhouse is also doing business partnerships with Westfield and Chantilly high schools and, during a pre-opening fund-raiser, it was able to raise more than $7,000 for the Make-A-Wish Foundation. "Our company believes that we should be actively involved in charity, and it does a lot of humanitarian work," said Page. Added Chen: "We hope the Make-A-Wish funds may be used for a local child."
