Fetch

Our kitty is part dog. He will play fetch with his mouse on a string and it is one of the cutest things ever. He does it over and over again. Sometimes it takes him a minute because he has to get the circle on the end of the string just right in his mouth.

The Curious Case of Gizmo Hutchins

Yesterday after Cyndi got home from school, we went out to find something to do.  We considered Disneyland and a few other places, but ending up getting dinner and seeing "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button".  I had seen it already with some of the boys at work, but Cyndi hadn't had a chance yet.  I did get to see a few new scenes since I was the only male staff last time and had to escort the boys to the bathroom as needed.  We also stopped by Best Buy so I where I picked up a couple of filters for my camera using some Christmas gift cards.

When we got home, we found Gizmo in the living room laying next to the can of chili from my lunch.  He had gone digging in the trash for it.  However, I noticed that the lid was missing from inside the can.  We searched and searched for it because I didn't want to be walking around barefoot at night and "find" it by cutting my foot....

We finally found it two rooms away in his food bowl.  Apparently he got enough from licking the can and was saving the lid for later.  Yes, our cat is weird.

And now for something completely random....

It's amazing what you can find saved on your computer. I was going through some pictures we have saved and found these. Discuss amongst yourselves (or in the comments). Enjoy!

Heckuva VP choice there Obama...

“The more people learn about them (Obama and Hillary) and how they handle the pressure, the more their support will evaporate.” -- Joe Biden

“But I doubt whether American voters are going to elect ‘a one-term, a guy who has served for four years in the Senate. I don’t recall hearing a word from Barack about a plan or a tactic.” -- Joe Biden

“My impression is [Obama] thinks that if we leave, somehow the Iraqis are going to have an 'epiphany' of peaceful coexistence among warring sects. I’ve seen zero evidence of that.” -- Joe Biden

“John McCain is a personal friend, a great friend, and I would be honored to run with or against John McCain, because I think the country would be better off, be well off no matter who...” -- Joe Biden

Umm....

This week in black entertainment...

When I'm at work, if the kids have the tv on, I get to watch whatever they want to watch.  Lately this has been one of the best shows ever on BET:  Hell Date!  It's like the show Blind Date except one of the daters is an actor who has some odd thing about them to freak out the person they're on the date with.  Their behavior gets stranger and stranger throughout the date until the end when a midget in a devil costume runs out and starts poking the dater with a pitchfork to let them know it's all a joke.  It isn't even the same midget every time either.  Apparently they put a lot of black midgets to work.

While at the 99¢ store tonight...

Me:  Hey cool!  Can I get a cactus?  They're only 99¢.
Cyndi:  No, you already had a cactus that you killed.
Late 20's woman in store:  You killed a cactus?  Bwhahaha!

Me:  I did ok.  It lived for like a whole year.  At least it wasn't a puppy.

FAIL

We need 5 consonants and a vowel: "Z, 4, Q ... another Q ... a third Q ... aaaand the Batman Symbol"

Bad timing...

If you can watch this and not laugh, you're a better person than me.

Soulja Boy better than Mozart?

Published in the Thursday, November 1, 2007 Edition of The Height
By Ryan Malone

The historical significance of Soulja Boy is not hard to divine. After the abrupt and tragic exodus of Jibbs from musical relevance, Soulja Boy selflessly filled the gaping void in our lives that only a teenage novelty rapper could. Most importantly, at a time when America's river of submissive creativity had seemingly run dry, a savior emerged to bestow his messianic wisdom upon us. Personally, I've found the only downside to these glorious revelations is that between "supermanning," "heismanning," "doin' da heizman," "spidermanning," "supersoaking," and my personal favorite, "superfanning," I've barley had time to eat, sleep, go to class, or write essays without using most or all of these terms.

At the tender age of 17, Soulja Boy has composed more songs about cranking things than Mozart did in his entire life. I'm not saying he's better than Mozart; I'm just saying he has more talent. In fact, I would go so far as to say Soulja Boy is the greatest rapper since MIMS. If he maintains his torrid pace, scholars will one day speak of him in the superlative terms once reserved for the likes of Lil' Boosie and Hurricane Chris.

The only beef I have with Soulja Boy is nomenclatural. "Soulja Boy" is an innovatively phonetic moniker that looks great painted on sunglasses, but it lacks a sorely needed element of grandiose self-description. A young DAndre Cortez Way would have been better served to proclaim himself "Mr. Cleo," because his powers of prognostication are second to none, except possibly Miss Cleo.In "Crank That," the Soulja makes it abundantly clear that he's "jocking on them haters." When we consider that before he started cranking that, Soulja Boy was not famous and therefore probably had relatively few haters on which to jock, the lyric takes on a predictive quality. For reasons laymen will never entirely understand, Soulja Boy deftly managed to anticipate haters' eventual emergence from the critical woodwork. Incredible.

We can only hope this urban oracle foresees more hits on the horizon. If not, I just don't know what we would do. Losing Sean Kingston was hard enough, and he taught us neither a dance nor a way to turn our childhood nouns into theoretically more adult verbs. Barring the triumphant return of Lil Rob, his absence would be unmistakably felt.

Here is the first of what I'm sure will be many masterpieces from the greatest musical mind the world has ever known: Soulja Boy.  It even has a shoutout to Robocop in it!

I love this show...

Come Together

Most of the fighting in Iraq these days seems to be between the Sunnis and Shiites. There has to be someway to get them to join together....to fight a common enemy. I have a plan that will get them working together and make the world a better place.

The Spice Girls as you may have heard are reuniting for a series of concerts starting in December. On their website, they are having a contest to see which world city they should add to the tour. They promise to play for whatever city gets the most votes.

This is where you come in. Won't you help me to promote peace in the Middle East and rid the world of the so called "music" of the Spice Girls all at once?

Please vote.

Spice Girls in Baghdad, Iraq.

The world needs you now. Let your voice be heard.

If I ever have to go to prison I really hope it's this one...

Even though you didn't mean it that way, I took it as a compliment kid. Thanks!

"Hey lady"
