This, my friends, is what the Internet was invented for!

I feel kind of bad having to shove the Snuggie video down a notch, but this deserves immediate attention!

Late Line Special Report - Snuggies: Warm, Comfortable, Deadly?

This is funny as hell, a report on how the Snuggie can ruin your life. And I love the reporter dude talking in staccato bursts ala Shatner. Late Line Special Report - Snuggies: Warm, Comfortable, Deadly? - watch more funny videos

So long Liz

Those of you who know me on Facebook have read about my friend Liz getting killed recently. I have known her for a long time, we both have been working out at Ballys together forever, and she also has a daughter much like Skyler, with CP. Liz was hit by a careless driver over the weekend and killed while she was riding her motorcycle. I am very worried about her daughter, because Liz's husband left Liz after not being able to deal with that life very well. There were other things involved in their breakup, but when I used to talk to her ex, it came up a lot. So now her daughter will be living with her ex and his new wife full time. I really hope things have changed for the better.

Power Outage During the Mammogram

From one of my friends, I know you ladies will appreciate this: I actually kept my mammogram appointment. I was met with, 'Hi! I'm Belinda!' This perky clipboard carrier smiled from ear to ear, tilted her head to one side and crooned, 'All I need you to do is step into this room right here, strip to the waist, then slip on this gown. Everything clear? I'm thinking, 'Belinda, try decaf. This ain't rocket science. Belinda skipped away to prepare the chamber of horrors. With the right side finished, Belinda flipped me (literally) to the left and said, 'Hmmmm. Can you stand on your tippy toes and lean in a tad so we can get everything?' Fine, I answered. I was freezing, bruised, and out of air, so why not use the remaining circulation in my legs and neck and finish me off? My body was in a holding pattern that defied gravity (with my other boob wedged between those two 4 inch pieces of square glass) when we heard, then felt a

Random De-Motivator Finds

As I have posted before, I am a big fan of despair.com, and they have a do it yourself link where you can make your own. There are also some other sites that have popped up that let you do the same thing, but I like to stay with the original (no, I don't get money or stock for saying that). Anywhoish, here are some random ones I have found whilst trolling through the Intertubenets...

Because I am one of the all-time geeks...

I get an email from the fine folks at Think Geek every month or so because of some previous purchases I have made there. Usually there are some pretty funny items, some awfully geeky, and others that are lame. But today's email brings us a new level of geekdom. Behold readers, I bring you the Star Trek Limited Edition Titanium Spork!! I know, I know, calm the hell down people or I'll call in security! Check this shit out: Did someone just say "Why that all looks impressive as hell Sky-Dad, but does it have collectors packaging?" Fuck yeah! I'll pause a moment for you to all catch your breath, steady now... This seems like the perfect compliment to your Away Team Red Shirt: So when you beam down to that planet you can say your one and only line of your Star Trek career, "Captain! Over here, quick! Arrrrrgh!!"

Has it really been 10 years?

Today is the 10th anniversary of the shootings at Columbine High School. There has been a lot of interviews, special features, several pieces run in the papers and on the news. But to me the story that continues to be the one that comes to mind is that of Dave Sanders, a teacher and coach who was killed protecting the kids he loved so much. I wrote about this last year and decided to just reprint it again, because my favorite writer, Rick Reilly knew Dave Sanders, and wrote a wonderful article about him in Sports Illustrated. Here it is again... The Big Hero of Littleton As usual, coach Dave Sanders spent Tuesday of last week at Columbine High hanging around the kids. One kept constant pressure on the gaping gunshot wounds in Sanders's shoulders, using T-shirts off other kids' backs. Another made a pillow from kids' sweatshirts for his head. Others covered his shivering body with more shirts. Outside the science room bullets and shrapnel were still flying, but inside, where

Bad Tat Tuesday!!

I know, just when you thought it was safe to go back in Sky-Dad's blog... It's been awhile, and I thought I was out of poor designs, but thanks to the miracle of the Interweb-tubes, we have a fresh new collection. Sit back, drink it all in, start planning your next ink. But others will juge your piss poor spellin! Does anybody use spell check anymore? We are on a spelling kick, I think tomarrow is like bone marrow... Nice! Had me fooled. Why is it no surprise he has a Dale Jr shirt? I only would go for a tat of something really important in my life, like my cheap-assed plastic lawn furniture... Uncle Sam meets Mr. Hyde. Ok, they are kind of cuddly... I have more, but they will have to wait for the next edition of (insert echo effect) Bad Tat Tuesday...

Praise for the Beer Goggles

Image
From Urban Dictionary: Beer goggles is a slang term for a phenomenon in which consumption of alcohol lowers sexual inhibitions to the point that very little or no discretion is used when approaching or choosing sexual partners. It can also refer to literal goggle-like devices used to distort vision to simulate the effects of drunkenness . So who among us hasn't looked across the room towards closing wondering if you were going to take that special lady with the fresh stitches in her forehead home for the night and possibly marry her? Anyone else? (crickets) OK, so only me huh? Well let it be known that there has been more than one evening where the beer goggles were on and making a huge difference. Especially during those crazy days of port visits in exotic countries while in the Navy. This collection of pictures helps to illustrate the effect. Please keep your arms and legs inside the ride at all times, if the effect becomes too distorting, just look down. Even worse than th

The New Lady of the House

I already posted some of these pictures on Facebook, so you "double dippers" will just have to deal with some more cuteness. We adopted a Chocolate Lab from some friends of ours who found out that their son is allergic to her. Her name is Montana and she is 7 years old. She and Yordi are getting along well, and she is learning the ropes around here. Yordi is teaching her she can't go into the kitchen. She has demon blood! They like hanging at Skyler's feet, which is good and bad. Nice that they like him so much, but a pain when we have to move him. She also thinks Skyler's changing table would be a great place to lay!

Jealous much?

You are all going to be soooo envious of me, because yesterday when I opened up the mailbox looky at what was waiting for Sky-dad! A wonderful bit of correspondence from none other than Gwen from Everything I Like Causes Cancer Breathe in it's awesomeness: I love, love, loved it Gwen! Thanks so very much! But then, after contemplating on the card for awhile, I started thinking about poor Earl. So went to the basement and fired up the WOPR computer (pronounced whopper) that I purchased from NORAD cause I am fond of cheesy sci-fi with computers that go hummmm and have lots of lights, but that's another story altogether, and started searching for Earl's other cousin. Let's just say that perhaps Earl made the right choice...
