Some days it's not worth chewing through the leather straps

Great moments in parenting! Let's all take a few moments to run through these examples and see if we can see where the parent went wrong. Form two groups please, take these sticky notes and write your ideas on them and post them on the wall. Pick a team leader to present your findings, and we will reconvene in one hour. Was letting Timmy play with daddies professional porn camera a good idea? Did you make Bobby attend Sunday school one too many times? When your little "leading edge of fashion" guy suggested the new "proto-mullet", was that the best choice? Should you ever show any mercy in backyard football games? Sure he hasn't slept through the night all week because of the ear infection. Should you take medication into your own hands? Are you monitoring what your child likes to play with? Pop quiz! Is this young man headed to: A: An Ivy league education? B: Community College? C: The Military? D: Your worst dreams as a husband for your daughter? C...

I have been toying with the idea of a new series of posts based on the women on TV that Skyler has a crush on. Those of you who follow this little web log know that Skyler has always liked the news on TV, and that he has a part time job recording the local NBC affiliates news programs. So Skyler has a whole bunch of DVDs that he made that have some of his favorite anchors, meteorologists, and other people he likes on TV. He plays them a lot on a portable DVD player when we are out running errands or other places in public, and it is always funny to see somebody lean over and try and see what is on the news. It is particularly funny when he is watching an old news item about a major snow coming and it is July here. People are always saying "Really? It is going to snow?" Then I tell them it is a DVD and they don't believe me! Because really, who records the weather? Well, we do! So for the first of this series, here is somebody that has a very unusual name. Amelia Ea...

I can't believe I have been doing bad tat Tuesday all this time and haven't featured lower back tats! Where have I been and what have I been doing? Collecting great stamps, that's what! And away we go... Always good to go generic if you can't make up your mind. A typeface lover! (special note to GKL, notice I didn't use "font") There is a lot going on here, eyes and chains dropping down the crack. But I really can't resist dropping the line "These aren't the droids you are looking for". Wouldn't it be so much simpler to just buy a diary? Mum and Dad are proud by the way, but are a little concerned with the expanding canvas. Duck hunt? Serious?? So hold on loosely, and don't let go. Special kudos go out to Jay for sending me this one, well down young grasshopper, well done.

Widdle Wabbit A precious little girl walks into a PetSmart shop and asks, in the sweetest little lisp, between two missing teeth, "Excuthe me, mithter, do you keep widdle wabbits?" As the shopkeeper's heart melts, he gets down on his knees so that he's on her level and asks, "Do you want a widdle white wabbit, or a thoft and fuwwy, bwack wabbit, or maybe one like that cute widdle bwown wabbit over there?" She, in turn, blushes, rocks on her heels, puts her hands on her knees, leans forward and says, in a tiny quiet voice, "I don't think my python weally gives a thit." The Blessing The pastor asked if anyone in the congregation would like to express Praise for answered prayers. A lady stood and walked to the podium. She said, "I have a Praise. Two months ago, my husband, Tom, had a terrible golf cart wreck and his scrotum was completely crushed. The pain was excruciating and the doctors didn't know if they could help him." You cou...

This is why you don't screw around on the office copier.

Sometimes the tats that get sent my way are of the nature that really shouldn't be opened up at work, as opposed to the regular kind I use that just shouldn't be opened. Ever. So I file those away someplace safe like a folder called "Yanni Music", or "How to install the new blades in your Remco nose hair removal system". So if you are brave enough, and don't have a weak stomach, cruise on over to Not Safe For Anything to see the latest edition. It's really not so bad this time... really.

Went to urgent care because I couldn't stand up right and the pain was way past intense on the meter. So I says to myself, "This seems kind of urgent, if only there was a place I could go to". Then I had a ta-da moment. Why not go to that place down the road that just opened up called "urgent care"? I am pretty sharp that way... So the diagnosis is a bulging disk, right above the one that is pretty much missing in my back. They told me long ago that when the missing disk gets to the point where it starts to fuse itself, then it transfers problems to the disk above and below. I hate it when they are right like that. So pain killers, steroids, and muscle relaxers, oh my! Then we see if it retracts back to where it belongs.

Two great ones from College Humor! Father Shant be taking me to Sunday School anymore.

Some of these are actually good art, good color, and well done. But holy tap-dancin Jebus, tats in your arm pits?!? What the hell is up with that? He asked for a saucy wench, but the tat artist was hard of hearing. Hey-oooo!! She's kind of cute. I mean tough! Yes ma'am, please don't hit me again! Why so huge? Nice color in this one. Does it smell sweet when she sweats? Holy Shit indeed! I can't figure out a single thing that is in this one. That hatchet is gonna leave a mark. i would only commit to a bottle tat if it was beer. OK, officially the creepiest thing out there.

Cool stuff! Combines my love of all things Star Trek with all things silly humor!!

Are you being pulled in many directions also? I tell you what, I feel like I have been on that George Jetson treadmill just spinning around and around for so long I don't even know what normal is anymore. We had lunch recently with my sister and brother in law, after I had to decline about 1342 times due to my stupid schedule. We planned on getting together around Christmas if I recall, right Sandi? Geeez, that just sucks. If you can't find time for your sister, what hope is there for maintaining friendships. I guess that is why my list of friends I see lately is down to one hand. Most of the people I keep up with regularly are out here in Blogville and facebook! I have been slacking on my workouts lately, mostly because of this stupid cold that just turned into Strep Throat. But before I started feeling sick, I just wasn't feeling in the mood to go into the gym every day. Part of it was getting tired of the same routine, the other part was having to listen to the h...

Please enjoy this delightful collection of WTF! I will be posting something worth reading in a few days, honest I will. Hey! Don't look at me like that! Sometimes I have something to say... Kinda... Nothing that several years of intense therapy won't cure. So much going on here I want explained. Or do I? The Red Cross just hands out meals and blankets. I never got a damn motorbike from them! Ok, so they were left alone to amuse themselves. But what is up with the Lion outfit? Seems like such a great playmate for Jr. TSA always wants to wand my ass also! Hey-O!!! I'll be here all week! Way too much information than I ever wanted to know... I really hope that is a temp, otherwise these parents should be slapped. Sigh. I wish I had some fine art to display. OK, good info to have here. Don't sleep with the dead brothers wife if he died of aids.
