Halloween memories

Been there and done that!!

I was in the Halloween Blizzard of 1991- I drove around through the whole thing- I dug my car out from Snow Plow block ins- 3 times

During those couple of days I -

Had a great date with a nice girl.

Attended a weekend Church retreat.

I dug my car out from Snow Plow block ins- 4 times

Enjoyed playing in the almost 3 feet of snow that fell.

Gained memories that will last forever!

The best image was- during the thick of it on Halloween night- a foot of snow had already fallen. I was driving on Hwy 101.

For those that don't know- this is a very curvy road so- going very slow due to the conditions.

As I was coming around one of the many S curves I saw something that- now being a Dad- warms my heart- then it was just fun to see.

There was a man in full snowsuit and boots- trekking through the snow- on his shoulder a young child in a matching snowsuit that had a monster costume stuffed over it.

In the Child's hand- a Halloween Pumpkin "trick-o-treat' bucket!

THEY WERE "TRICK-O-TREATING" IN THE SNOW! Now- that is a devoted Dad!




I love my Nora more than can be measured and I can't say I've done something that devoted for her- YET- but I bet I would!

Gotta peep this site -

some fun pictures- including Michael Cera(Arrested Development / Superbad)

Wonder if he was picking up some spermicidal lube?

HOLY LEGENDARY AWESOMENESS BATMAN!

This was a triumphant trifecta for me- Neil Patrick Harris, Batman, in a musical. It was AWESOME!

"The Great Space Coaster"- get on board!!

After watching Caillou and a few other kids shows with Nora- it made me nostalgic for MY kids shows- here was a great one- the great space coaster!

The blonde kid helped create Dora the Explorer and the guy that did the Gorrilla puppet- created and still does ELMO!!

UFF DA!!

A new version of HELL. Strapped to a table being streched while the music you really don't like- Barry Manilow- is being played! Oye vey!!

Some things are just better a certain way

Certain things are better a certain way-

Burgers at Lion’s Tap-

Popcorn popped in oil-

Ice cream cones from Dairy Queen-

Coke in a glass bottle-

and Mountain Dew in a CAN!

Moutain dew is good in bottles too- BUT- there is just something slightly more enjoyable when it comes from a CAN.

This is what the French would call-

je ne sais quoi (uncountable)

An intangible quality that makes something distinctive or attractive.

Or in America we simply say- ” It just IS!”

Wild & Wacky World

I've been naughty in cars but SERIOUSLY-

Even the BEARS in Wisconsin are boozers!


http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/33360151/ns/us_news-weird_news/


And last but not least- a real "pocket person"


http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/33327766/ns/world_news-south_and_central_asia/


Seriously- he is barely bigger than Nora- WHEN SHE WAS BORN!!

TAKE THAT TREBEK!

When I saw this the other day I could not get Sean Connery- from "The Rock" -out of my head!   " Your BEST? Losers whine about doing their best... WINNERS go home and F*@K the Prom Queen!"

Hey Kids- BIG BEN- PARLIAMENT--again.

Not only have I recently noticed my increased road rage at the"entitled" drivers out there-Today- I need to take issue with a newer "challenge" on MN roads-- round-abouts!

Are we British?- NO!

Did they properly educate citizens how to use them? - NO!

Because of the above could we start seeing more "accidents"? - Maybe.

I wish I had a Spy Hunter car- you know the one with the guns/ grenades/oil slick and smoke.
Then when people "poke the Bear!"- as in STOPPING AT A YIELD SIGN WITH NO CARS COMING BECAUSE YOU ARE SCARED ONE MIGHT COME!!!

I can let loose- AND GET THEM OUT OF MY WAY!

Now if I can only figure out how to make the Government pay ME- OHHHH I'd be happy!!

Heil Gnome!

I prefer my Gnomes Friendly-

unlike some Germans I know

Canada is trying to freeze us out

This is our WX forecast for the next day or so. 1-3 INCHES IF SNOW? it's OCTOBER! Granted it's MN but come on- even the hearty Scandahovians are calling foul on this one. I really think Canada is trying to freeze us out.

Hey Pres- a little less talk and alot more action

Man- I did not vote for him and I don't agree with a lot of what he says- but I am hope President Obama does succeed!

I hope he does do a lot of the good he is promising- I just worry that stuff like this pulls the focus in the wrong direction

http://news.yahoo.com/s/time/20091009/us_time/08599192939500

What is it these days with awarding thoughts and not actions? "Hey I've got a great PLAN to fix this car- but I did not fix it yet but you still need to pay me as though I did."

ALL talk & rewards but NO action & work.

Sure- President Obama has some great thoughts and ideas on achieving peace- BUT- he has NOT done any of them yet.

My Norge brethren should have given the Peace prize to this guy-

Greg Mortenson, nominated for the prize by some members of Congress, who the bookies gave 20-to-1 odds of winning. Son of a missionary, a former army Medic and mountaineer, he has made it his mission to build schools for girls in places where opium dealers and tribal warlords kill people for trying. His Central Asia Institute has built more than 130 schools in Afghanistan and Pakistan - a mission which has, along the way, inspired millions of people to view the protection and education of girls as a key to peace and prosperity and progress.

THAT IS DOIN' WORK SON!

So- President Obama- not bad so far but- to quote David Letterman- "you've got your work cut out for you!"

We need to get together more.

The "Bye" cousins. The pic was a couple years ago at my cousin Marie's wedding. It's an almost spot in pic we all took with Santa MANY years prior. That was also a homage to a pic taken long before that before Marie and Andrew(back on right) were born. I put this up cause I was feeling sentimental. Miss these folks, gotta work more get togethers for us Byes!

Hold the ginormous balls it takes to call yourself "the Bull"

Seriously?

What happened to People?

Lately I have been subjected to some really STUPID people driving cars!

I have had people honk at ME because I did not move so they could change lanes at the last minute before an exit ramp.

I have had people scowl at me and flip me off because I did not slam on my brakes and get out of their way ‘cause they did not bother to merge 100 ft. back.

I have had folks almost smash into my car in a parking lot while they back out then look at me with disgust- cause they did not look behind them first.

UGH!!! F-ING BOOBS!!

Why do I have to slow down because YOU were not paying attention to where you were going?

Why do I have to yield because you feel more entitled and MUST be in front of me?

Why do I have to slam on my brakes so you can pull out in front of me?

It is not that hard but people need to be reminded- know where YOU are going and drive there while not being an A-HOLE to the folks in the other cars!

When on the road- we are all the same. We all have the right to get where we need to be without SOME DOUCHE-BAG cutting us off ‘cause they MUST be the car IN FRONT of us!

Think it’s the fluoride in the water, less oxygen in the atmosphere, or because Jon and Kate broke up?
