This is new to me, but you just can’t help but watch this and smile and laugh a little. Even my kids thought it was funny… weird, but funny. (h/t to Fark)

You can learn more about it from NPR. Check out the tutorial and samplers.

Liberals that we can’t stand

(h/t to Caleb)

The chorus sings “If you don’t like it, go write your own and start up your own band.” Yeah, but their response would be to whine, bitch, scream, cry, call for a ban, thereoughtabealaw against….

And there are a lot of so-called “conservatives” that I can’t stand either, but I haven’t picked up a guitar or written a song in years….

Sugar, sweet sweet sugar

The wife and kids went grocery shopping. They come home, I go downstairs to see what goodies have been brought.

Seems the kids talked my wife into buying Kool-Aid and mini marshmallows.

How do I know this?

I see the children… mixing a purple powder in a glass… then adding marshmallows on top of it.

So… we have sugar drink topped with fluffy sugar pellets.

I think it’s time for the kids to go outside and run a few hundred laps around the house, eh?

… who, being naughty in my sight, shall snuff it.

Behold! The ultimate weapon! The Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch.

Oldest likes Monty Python. He gets it. I recall the first time he saw this clip and he got it on both levels: the absurdity of it in and of itself, and the whole religious/Catholic satire. I was impressed.

Ah, kids

The neighbor kids are over, playing with my kids. The joys of Spring Break and nothing for them to do all day, eh?

They all have their Nerf guns out. In the hallway. Outside my office. Setting up barricades. Plotting strategy. Choosing teams.

I hear them talking about each other’s Nerf blaster.

“How much capacity does yours have?”

“A lot.”

Sounds of “rack, click, pop” as suction cup darts go whizzing about, sticking to the walls and windows.

I’m all tempted to go down and start to show them some tactics, but I know it’ll be instantly uncool for me to do so. 😉

 

BTW, today’s Nerf blasters are pretty awesome.

 

Update: I come downstairs. The kids are now outside playing, but evidence of their past exploits remain. Three guesses whose “compound” this was.

Ode to Chick-Fil-A

Chicken is probably my least favorite meat, but I love Chick-Fil-A. Nuggets. Waffle fries, especially when you get one of those “side chunks” loaded with potato skin, dipped in mayo and ketchup. Their lemonade. A fruit cup. All so good.

And of course, you crave it most on Sunday….
