Thai Ripper

Here is a sequence I nabbed off Eric's Blog of him tearing up Thailand (Chachoengsao to be more specific). He can be seen here launching over a wide, patchy gap - Awesome! And ending up in the gutter on one attempt - maybe not as awesome....



Show them how it's done Honey!

A simpler time (and place) - Gregorius!

This makes me long for a world in which bald-faced and innocent enthusiasm still exist.
Cynicism and irony weren't invented yet. I mean look at his face!

Leave Well Enough Alone.....

Unable to, I investigated who was responsible for the animated treasure about Washington seen in yesterday's post.
I found this site called Super Deluxe and a whole bunch of other stuff by one Mister Brad Neely.
Stuff like this:

Quote of the day: "He's got a wig for his wig."

Holy Crapoly.



(Thanks Ma - I'll never be the same.)

Oh my gosh Corey...I had no idea.

"Literally every gift I received for a five year span was Batman related. And in my 11 year old mind, every scrap of it was sure to be a collectors item. So my fortune grew. I was like some dragon atop my golden horde, relishing in every trading card or pencil topper I could get my greedy little hands on. Preserved in its protective blister packs it eventually was overlooked for more pressing concerns like girls. Eventually the whole lot of it was moved up to the attic where it remained until a few weeks ago."

My friend Corey is giving away his vast Batman Collection to the most worthy.
Contest details here.
This is an incredible opportunity for....somebody!

Sour Puss

Here is this weekend's Collage-O-Matic.
I think we can all relate to one of the above. I certainly do.

Hell's Half Acre

My Mom used this expression earlier today.
I had never heard it before, but what a gem.
Wherever "Hell's Half Acre" is, I reckoned, it couldn't be a pretty place.
Judge for yourself above with this next installment of the Collage-O-Matic.
(I can't remember exactly what she was referring to, but we had just spent 3 hours digging through boxes in her rented unit at the Storage Facility.....)

Miss Simpson I presume.

Who can honestly claim not to want to see themselves as a Simpson's character?
That's what I thought.
Your turn.

It's impossible to find a parking space in this city.

Wicked Awesome*

Here's the deal:
A) I type a word or phrase into google image search. (i.e. "Wicked Awesome")
B) I sift through the results and make a collage out of the best that search has to offer.
C) *I post that collage here using the search term as the heading. (see above)
D) Is this awesome (Y/N)?

my kin

I could not love my niece and nephew more. (James 3 and Samantha 1.5).

I was talking to James on the phone the other day and asked him what he was doing.
Him: "Daddy stuff"
Me: "What's Daddy stuff?"
Him: "Knocking down mailboxes, driving through people's back yards, and singing songs."

Charmed, I'M SURE!

Here Eric can be seen Wednesday - taking his banana and leaving.

He is off to Thailand (Suphan Buri to be exact) for 3 whole months.
He will be coaching the Thai National Skateboard Team for an Olympic sanctioned event to be held in China in November.
Not too shabby - I'm so dang proud! I miss him like crazy already however. I'm like a sad old hound dog moping from room to room looking for him, whimpering softly. Then I sigh and lie down for a while with one of his t-shirts from the laundry.
Then I get up and look again. Sniffing at the air...
I'll have to throw myself into my blogging...
Purely coincidentally he also just started a blog and will be chronicling his fierce adventures HERE.
