It's not snowing in NZ, but it's always snowing in a snow globe. And guess which creatures are used to being snowed on... 
Edit: I hope this one isn't too hard to cheese-ify, chocolate-ify or martini-ise.  |

I've been trying to vote for ages. I was banging on the glass but no one seemed to hear. Then I poured in some Martini and everything cleared up nicely.  |

You call that cold, Mr. California? I had my water pipes freeze two nights in a row now, and we're expecting another below freezing night tonight! But no percipitation, so no snow.
That's why I voted - I wanted to see snow this year! |

Not for you to worry about, my friend. Cheese is always up for a challenge.
www.fwiffer.com is now visible, but apparently I cannot yet add a theme to it.
Sorry Cheese...I reset the permissions and tested it...Looks good to go.
I knew what I would enter as soon as I saw the new theme. My avatar comes from the final episode of one of the quirkiest and most intriguing TV series ever, St. Elsewhere. The final ep even inspired the "Tommy Westphall Hypothesis."
http://www.tvacres.com/signoffs_finales_elsewhere.htm
Tommy & His Snow Globe"Come on, son, let's wash our hands" - The last words spoken on the finale episode No. 137 "The Last One," on the medical drama ST ELSEWHERE/NBC/1982-88. During the life of the series Dr. Donald Westphall (Ed Flanders) worked at St. Eligius Hospital in Boston and had to juggle a busy schedule that included tending to the needs of his hospital patients and Tommy, his physically-challenged autistic son (Chad Allen). In the final surreal scene of the series Ed Flanders is shown as a blue-collar construction worker retuning home to his autistic son and his father (Norman Lloyd - who played Dr. Auschlander on the series). Sitting in the comfort of his home's living room, Tommy stares into a small crystal ball -- the kind you turn upside down to make it snow inside. That "scene", considered by many to be obscure, anti-climatic and unsatisfying, unceremoniously ended the show's six year run. Sadly, the show's writers wanted viewers to believe that the entire world of St. Eligius (with all its storylines of doctors, nurses, and traumas) was just the idle product of Tommy's autistic imagination. So, as tiny flakes of shimmering snow fell inside the snow globe, we get a close-up of the building inside...a likeness of St. Eligius Hospital.
Transcript of the final scene of "St. Elsewhere"
Dr. Auschlander (Norman Lloyd) and Tommy (Chad Allen) in Westphall's Apartment. Westphall (Ed Flanders) arrives home.
Westphall: How you doing, Pop?
Auschlander Good. And your day up on the building?
Westphall: Finally topped off the 22nd story. I'm beat... Tommy give you any trouble?
Auschlander:: Been sitting that way since you left this morning. Just like every day. In a world of his own.
Westphall crosses, crouches beside TOMMY, who gazes at object in his hand.
Westphall: Remember son, be careful with that... (stares at Tommy; beat; to Auschlander, without looking). I don't understand this autism. I talk to my boy, but...I'm not even sure if he ever hears me...Tommy's locked inside his own world. Staring at that toy all day long. What does he think about?
Tommy shakes the object in hand, then stares at it. REVEAL GLASS SNOWBALL with snow eddying inside.
Westphall:: Come on, son, let's wash our hands.
Tommy shakes snowball again. Westphall takes snowball from Tommy, places it on mantelpiece. All three exit.
On C.U. of SNOWBALL, model of St. Eligius inside, snow swirling about,
FADE OUT.
Note: C.U. = "Close Up" |

Now that Bill Gates is retired. He has far more better things to do with his time than play with snow in a snow globe. He'd rather play with his money. |

They say that if you press the button and the girl succeeds in climbing the ladder and retrieving her clothes you're a cool, hip, popular person.
Why not try now?
-->  <--
So, did it work?
No?
What a shame. Try again tomorrow.
Try this one instead. I don't think much of PETA as an organisation, but their snowglobes are quite good:
