parts of a party

Mike's Christmas party 2008

Santa in lights

I saw him there, flashed in light, perhaps he isn't lit now with the power outages.

Sunova glitch!

Fort Wayne loses power .... over 100,000 affected. Look dudes, get on this thing!

I was lucky enough to stay with family who had power -- lucky indeed. Jeff, Paula, Josh are without power and they are staying with family.

While I have been away, I have had other things to do. I also got to go to Mike's party. I will post pictures PDQ. The love of my life was there with me.

I returned to the powerless, heatless house in search for a few things that I needed. The thermometer stopped after low forties. I am sure that it was lower than the meter showed. Walking through your house with no heat or power is eerie. It makes one wonder if you died and are not just haunting the place.

Sing a song of bull***t

Hi, I'm [insert name here],

I have [insert ludicrous amount of money here] that needs to be handled through a US bank. If you could just send me your:
name, account number, SSN, phone number, and the address to send the "thanks sucker" letter to, that would be great.

tonsils

Soon Charlie will not have them. His tonsils and adenoids are infected and they are going to be pulled. So, while he recovers ... rest, blankets and ICE CREAM.

Well, let's hope not like Napoleon

smell my feet!

You would think that these were Hanes, but these off-name brand are called "Holes". Well, they lived up to their name.

stare down

Einstein's idea

I learned it, however, from Benny Hill.

One should never assume, because you make an "ass" out of "u" and "me".

one of the better photos I have seen

I guess he wanted his fiery torment before he went to hell for his actions, eh?

stuck

Jeff, Paula, Josh have adventures of grandeur, meanwhile I have only my delusions of grandeur. That's the luck of the draw I suppose.

I hope the three of them are having a good, safe time!

I was asked

Thank you Worth1000 for the original work.

Ha! You missed; my turn

"I'm pretty good at ducking, as most of you know," Bush joked, adding quickly that "I'm talking about ducking your questions."
Any number of times President Bush stumbled over his own words. Now he got it just right.

Throwing a shoe at the President of the United States? That's wrong in so many ways. I'm just hoping one-shoe wonder hobbles back to disrespect.

oops ... syntax error

missing ")"
You have got to be kidding me!

likely excuse

Jeff, Paula, Josh didn't just fly up for the 2 hours to join us for the party. Well, Joshua apparently had enough jetlag -- no was no.

NYC to here.

Charlie Birthday!

I hope that you wished for everything you got!
Happy birthday young man Charlie!

fat man finds his love

You kissed me while we skated

You shared stories about my idiocy

night at the Lodge

we got some time to kiss

we went to Bandidos

where ... they had no TP

There is no end of pictures!

bad minded

Naughty, nice . . .
all get spanks, all get gifts
each of them wants something different for Christmas

Christmas 7

woof woof woof meow meow meow
claws

of Cheree

She sang . . . her voice among many, delighting all with a chance to see her interest peaked and her talent peeked.

I'm old and I remember this

Freddy Freaker

For Simone

Santa has fallen and he can't get up? Penguins to the rescue!

Tongue towel Tandem

Kung-Fu Panda. It wasn't a great movie, but it was worth watching once. Sometime later I will watch it again. It has a thirty-something percent re-watchability factor. There were a good effects and not crude humor as common as it was in Shrek. Most kids would wear out the DVD player on this movie.






Spoiler -- his fat protecting him from secret punches, quite funny.

Whoa, let me rephrase that!

Not working hard -- hardly working.

I have taken certain liberties.

Christmas 6

From all of them to all of you

no lower pay

just no jobs

So the UAW doesn't want to lower pay or sacrifice anything. Huh, go figure! I am thinking that if cumupance works -- jobs will be lost and the UAW will about fold.

So, here's to you oh backward UAW -- may you rest well knowing that you might ensure the failure of the auto industry as well as yourself. Salut!

tempted by the fruit of another

Conspiracy number da da da

As a scientist, I'm both fascinated and astonished by the deluge of questions from people who are genuinely frightened and, apparently, unable to distinguish astronomical fact from fiction. They're watching YouTube videos and visiting slick Web sites with nothing in their skeptical toolkit, or to quote Carl Sagan no "baloney detector." Now a blockbuster disaster film called "2012" is set for release in the summer of 2009, and the commercial enterprise is clearly trying to cash in on people's concern (perhaps contributing to their fear as well).

We're all gonna die from Planet X. Boy, now that's a complex name.

So, if you read on Nibiru and the aliens, sorry Scientologists, you're still wrong even with aliens, you'll found out we will be conquered. again.

Supposedly aliens popped on over to Earth when it was closer and grabbed some homo-erectus and fused alien DNA making -- homo sapiens. Why? They needed a work force to dig for gold.

Now, let me get this straight: apart from the obvious, it's wrong factor, let me go logically

aliens have the capability of much-easier than we do planetary travel. They are skilled enough with genetics to impart smartness onto the dumber primates. They can't build probes and robots?

Dumb old humans can send probes to Mars to take soil samples and analyze them. We can build machines and robots to dig deep into our own planet. We can't manage interplanetary travel and we don't know enough about genetics to do much more than tinker with bio-luminescence. Where is the logic in superior beings who can't make machines?

I'm thinking the conspiracy theorists are getting dumber.

For Mike

"The Obvious Answer: Again we must refer to the scientific phenomenon called People Making Up Bullshit."

It's not just for politics anymore. When pushed into a corner like Stevens ... lie.

Merry Christmas 5

play, skate, have fun
you are a child only once
enjoy it

Christmas 4

gifts of the Magi
recolored

Christmas 3

an angel of the Lord came to Mary informing her that she was with child. Though Mary was a virgin, she born Christ whose was called Jesus.

My contribution is that a cat, "do you hear what I hear" who spread the news far and wide

Christmas 2

On Dancer, on Prancer
Oh, and reindeer are fun to chase.

For Simone

God Rocks!
It's hard to rock hard playing when your soul is in torment.
In heaven is there a concert forever?

I stand before you

Do not trust this man behind me!

Uh, sir, that's . . . oh, never mind Mr. Gore.

last man standing wins

Hisspurr Anderson

Agent Smith:
As you can see, we've had our eye on you for some time now, Mr. Anderson. It seems that you've been living two lives (opposed to my nine). In one life, you're Thomas A. Anderson, program writer for a respectable software company, you have a social security number, you pay your taxes, and you help your landlady carry out her garbage. The other life is with vermin, where you go by the alias Neo and are guilty of virtually every crime we have a law for. One of these nine lives has a future, and one of them does not.
I'm going to be as forthcoming as I can be, Mr. Anderson. You're here because we need your help. We know that you've been contacted by a certain individual, a man who calls himself Mouseus. Now whatever you think you know about this man is irrelevant. He is considered by many authorities to be the most dangerous man alive. My colleagues believe that I am wasting my time with you but I believe that you wish to do the right thing. We're willing to wipe the cat box clean, give you a fresh start (with Fresh Step) and all that we're asking in return is your cooperation in bringing a known rodent to justice.

Neo:
Yeah. Wow, that sound like a really good deal. But I think I got a better one. How about I give catnip ... and you give me my phone call.

Agent Smith:
Um, Mr. Anderson. You disappoint me.

Neo:
You can't scare me with this Gato crap. I know my rights. I want my phone call.

Agent Smith:
Tell me, Mr. Anderson, what good is a phone call if you're unable to speak.... You're going to help us, Mr. Anderson whether you want to or not.

Cat's got his tongue...

pizza pizza?

If it's automatic, why do I have to work on it?

cut ITT out

I have continually received phone calls from this place asking when I was going to enroll.

When you call me twice a week wasting my cell minutes . . . you have peeved me.
No, means no.

Israel halts money transfer

No money to Gaza. Here you go. If you want money, kill Hamas, period. It's not complex like, "Please stop Hamas from firing weapons at us." It's quick. "I'll use small words so that you will be sure to understand me."+

I can only hope that backward leaders get the picture and purge the terrorist groups.
