How the Grinch stole a Charlie Brown X-mas from Frosty and Rudolph!

Being a Daddy now I have been remembering my childhood X-mas-es

the Book-o-Lifesavers I always got in my stocking!

having fondue w/ green bean casserole and rice on X-mas eve

the JOY of getting that 'one special present'

and- watching the classic TV specials

these four have been on TV- EVERY year for the last 40+ years

Frosty the Snowman, A Charlie Brown Christmas, How the Grinch Stole Christmas, and

Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer! -



(check out the cool history of this special here- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rudolph_the_Red-Nosed_Reindeer_(TV_special)

Han Solo in Carbonite Desk. Reminds me of the most Awesome response ever to "I Love you!" == "I Know."

                      A Millenium Falcon BED- "Baby- can I make you Kessel Run tonight!"

                       and finally-

                                                an economical Bat-Mobile

Let's see if this works!

Hopefully- you'll enjoy this

He is the reason for the season!

I see displays like this and I wonder- " do you think the baby Jesus was that calm and wide eyed?"

I remember when Nora was first born and she was either sleeping, crying, or had a face that said-"what is going on here?"




Jesus-Mary and Joesph are way too mellow looking here.

Maybe that wasn't "frankenscense" the Kings brought.

Look at my adorable Home-Slice!

Nora has learned something new this week- Mommy taught her to "slap Daddy's Butt!"

Ahhh- soo glad she's learning the basic life skills she'll need growing up!

NSFW but damn it's Awesome and FUNNY!

WRONG HOLE with DJ Lubel, Taryn Southern and Scott Baio from Scott Baio

Yep- My Wife pulls my finger!

Nora was watching Caillou the other day and something really funny happened- Caillou and his buddy Leo were laughing- mommy asks them why-they say, nothing. Then you hear a fart and they giggle!

It was awesome! Farting followed by giggling- that's real!

When Daddy farts- Nora says-"woah!"
My wife giggles- at least at first.

It reminded me of a fart in Jr high- true story- Dave Eggstien farted once in class. He was sitting in one those molded plastic chairs so it echoed LOUDLY. Of course a room full of 12-13 year olds LAUGHED LOUDLY!
Our teacher- didn't laugh though-
Dave got sent to the office- simply cause he was gassy.

People gotta lighten up!

Farts are a bodily function and they are FUNNY!

Now SHARTS- oh those are only funny if it's someone else

P.S. My wife does pull my finger and laughs when she does it- I love her!

100% PROOF!

Poop is ALWAYS FUNNY!





Even at the Zoo!

Sooo glad for something different!

HANDY MANNY & The Tools.

Nora likes this show and thank goodness- if I had to watch another Caillou- I was gonna plotz!

It's a fun show- Manny and the Tools are THE fix it crew in Sheetrock Hills. It mixes the fixes with teaching kids some Spanish and about diversity

Fez from "that 70s show- Wilmer Valdaramma is the voice of Manny. Other famous folks stop by also- Fred Willard- Kathy-Lee, Lance Bass and my fav- "the Fonz" - Henry Winkler

The theme is pretty good too- done by Los Lobos

All in all a good show!

But- we still have to watch the occasional Caillou.






Daddy really loves Nora.

HIMYM- Frosty- the innapropriate snowman!

This is Legen--wait for it and I hope you are not lactose intolerant 'cause the second half of that word is DARY!

It even contains a Barney reference I never thought I would use- "Yeah, I got a whip guy!"

Tiger has some "splainin!" to do, but not to us!

http://msn.foxsports.com/golf/story/10464562?GT1=39002

Why should Tiger have to "explain himself" ? He is a human being that made human mistakes and he has admitted to and apologized to "his fans". He doesn't owe "us" anything else. His Wife and family are the ONLY ones he has to "explain" anything to now.

Monsters do not live by Cookies alone!

Check out Cookie Monster giving Tyra a little X-mas "Goose"!

and Elmo does a little "neckin'" to boot!

Muppets Gone Wild!

Look at this F-ing Guy!

Very thankful for Handy Manny! Nora now will watch something other than Caillou.

We were watching one tonight and it made me wish I had a Theme song- every time I go to fix someone's PC

Did Aliens kill JFK?

Heard about this on the radio today and had to see for myself- this is a picture of Dealey plaza- right before JFK was shot- top right of the picture- looks like a UFO- or does it?

This was one of a treasure trove of pictures recovered the other day and are thought to have been stolen from a Fort Worth Historical society. (AOL printed the PIC first)

Maybe it was Aliens and not Cubans or the Mob that conspired to off JFK 'cause we wanted to go to the moon!

Look everyone...

It's Jesus-A-Sauras!!

What's Adam West Watching?

This is a fun series of Fox promos with the Great Adam West!

Monday is my Favorite!

It pays to Tweet!

Yep- because of Tweeting on Twitter- I got this in the mail yesterday!

How I met your Mother - it's my favorite show and Barney- played with extreme awesomeness by NPH (Neil Patrick Harris)

Is my favorite character. I follow the show- Barney (Broslife) NPH and Alison Hannigan (Lilly) on Twitter

A couple weeks ago they had a contest to add CBSTweet to who you follow- the first x# of people then got a prize

I did not get the big prize but I did get - what you see in the pic- A Barney bobble-head

AND IT TALKS!

It says- "Suit Up!" - "I've done soo much good today, I've got a soul boner!" - and my favorite-

"it's going to be LEGEN- wait for it .... & I hope you're not lactose intolerant 'cause the other half of that word is DARY!"

See Twitter and Tweeting = JOY and FUN!

"truth" in advertising!

I was shocked by this Canada Dry Ginger Ale commercial I saw tonight.

They actually say - "people wil be surprised to learn that Canada Dry Ginger Ale has real ginger!"

WHAT?  GINGER ale has GINGER in it?  As Pepper Brooks once said- " I feel shocked! "

But then I remembered something I learned about a popular product years ago
A buddy and I were shopping for party snacks and wanted some guacamole
We grabbed some Dean's guacamole from the shelf and out of curiosity looked at the ingredients- it did NOT contain avocados??

We were "surprised and shocked" !  That is THE ingredient that makes guacamole!

see the pic where it just says - guacamole -

but after this
http://www.lawyersandsettlements.com/case/guacamole_dip_deceptive_advertising.html

The label now says - guacamole flavored -

So it made the Canada Dry commercial not soo "shocking and surprising"

At least I know if she rolls in the mud- it'll be 'cause it's fun

Nora got her H1N1 shot yesterday-

this was her before the shot

This was after the shot

Daddy felt bad so we went for Ice Cream

what we learned today- Ice Cream makes it all better!

Ya think he's making his get-aways on a rascal?

A 70+ year old man is wanted by the FBI for FIVE bank robberies over the last 3 months

his nickname-

‘Geezer Bandit’

The $16,000 reward might not be enough- if they throw in a couple of Velour track suits and BOGO coupons for Old Country Buffet- some of his fellow "geezers" might be more inclined to turn him in

F-ing Old School!

YEAH BABY!

Old School- PBR in the Big Boy Glass!

Ok, where are these mutant taters coming from? In the pic u see two french fries almost the same length as the ketchup bottle -bout 10 inches- WTF?

Maybe I can get some PHAT cash for my PHAT AZZ!

It's unfortunate and sad some folks died over this but if human fat is really worth $60,000 A GALLON- Stick the hose sucker in my gut and get to work!

That's a damn fine Cup O' Joe!

Mmmm Dunn Bros Coffee... Delicious!

They need to look into a small change though - either get better insulated cups or lower the temp of the coffee.

You can't hold it- even with the sleeve- for more than 30 seconds!

It is luciously delicious though!

Strap into your Laz-Y-Boys

Ken Ober- for those that lived on MTV in the late 80's- he was the host of "Remote Control". This was a great game show for our generation.

It combined pop culture knowledge with fun and whimsy not really seen since.

He unexpectedly passed away yesterday- he was only 52

http://www.cnn.com/2009/SHOWBIZ/TV/11/16/obit.ober/index.html

Adam Sandler- Colin Quinn and Dennis Leary should pay their respects to his family

They all "got their start" on that show- who knows- we may not know who any of them are without it!

Take a trip down memory lane here-

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remote_Control_(game_show)

Then "it's time for a snack break! hold up your bowls!"

Books-books -& more books!

Yep- Nora loves books. We even have to hide certain ones or we'd be reading them ALL THE TIME!

It Is sooo cute when she wants a book read to her- she trots up to one of us and says -"ret, ret... moor ret!"

She's just soo fricken cute some days I can't stand it!

Really... that's what you are gonna wear?

What is this fashion trend of the last few years of celebrities wearing velour tracksuits?

There are certain things you just should not wear until you've reached a certain
point in life.

loud ugly sweaters- not until your a father!

pajamas at the grocery store- only if your under 6 or a mother!

velour tracksuits?

Not until you are over 65- live in Boca or Scottsdale- and have dinner at 4:30

Hey kettle..? That pot guy is ok right?

I think this is equal to Bernie Madhoff saying Tom Petters is a "guy that wouldn't swindle you out of a dime!"

Yep it's midnight and this is for a video game.

This is the line at ONE store as gamers waited to get "call of duty- modern warfare 2". Had a late night happy hour with some buddies before they got their copies at midnight last night. They worked me hard to get one but I didn't "drink the Kool-Aid".. Yet!

Yeah baby!!

Princess Leia in the slave outfit gave most guys(and some girls) in my age group that first tingling in their naughty place.

Made the most of the day!

Took advantage of the nice wx and got some outside stuff done. Cleaned up a bit in the garage- put the stakes in the driveway so I don't "over do it" with the snowblower- & got the X-mas lights up!

You may say- "X-mas lights, it's only Nov 7th?". I didn't turn them on yet but they are up and ready so I don't have to do it weeks from now when it's freezing outside.

Also squeezed in time at the park with my Smoochie-




Aaahhhhaaahhhhhaaahhhhh - feels good.

The Tap makes a much better burger!

I am amazed that with Mcd's I am sure having a BIG legal deptartment they even had to go through this Lawsuit.

Or- maybe they thought- "it's just a small Minnesota place no one will notice"

Either way- Lion's Tap wins!!

I thought Madden had the biggest Man-Crush on Farve

This is just creepy- he talks about him like he just got done filming a scene in
"Man-Hole V; The Return of the Reach-Around"

"If you're taking the tribe 'cross country... this is your automobile!"
