Thats right, somebody gave the boys “Santa’s North Poles” for Christmas.  One of the best named items I’ve ever seen.

During the filming of this post, a random act of violence occurred.  We have captured images for posterity.  We warn you, they are graphic, and as such, we are only showing them after the jump. Read the rest of this entry »

The Spotz and I are headed out this afternoon for our Christmas present together. This is the last of the experiential Christmas presents. The Missus and October went out last week and had a good girly time together. They did their nails and everything! Lugnut and I drove all over Oak Ridge Friday evening looking for a hotdog. We found a couple over at the Time Out Deli in Grove Center.

We’d hoped to give the kids something a little different than the usual stuff they get. The Missus and I wanted to give them something besides an… object. We wanted to give them a meaningful sort of gift. A gift that doesn’t take up more space in the world (ahem, our house) and that goes beyond itself by making something new. We get time together just for fun. Thus the great Cemestos Gardens Experiential Christmas Extravaganza. Yeah!

So Spotz and I are going to The Museum of Science and Energy first. Spotz is all about the science and has already said he wants to be a scientist when he grows up. There’s a “Grossology” exhibit we’re going to check out. Then we have Redlobster on board for some shrimp and greasy, cheese biscuits. Spotz likes to eat the shrimp. I like to eat. Starbucks will top the evening with some hot chocolate.

So, not only do they rush to executing Saddam Hussein before even trying him for gassing all those Kurds (they could have killed him twice!), but I understand that Fox and CNN are viewing the video?

Really?

American news channels are freely showing a video of a prisoner, found guilty by the people who captured him, hung until death for all to see?

How very Al-Jazeera.

Ahh, 2006
There were a lot of good times
Might outweigh the bad

The bad comes to mind
Guess thats just the way it is
When you lose a friend

Not counting that, tho
It was an amazing year
At Casa Tuma

Course, we blogged it all
(I still hate that freakin word)
All of our events

When we got the cats
(and blissfully, when they left)
were good memories

The ‘Tumor’s birthday
was an excellent party
BJ did the sticks

Now as an aside
BJ was the stick master
Did all sorts of tricks

In the video
She was using a set that
weighed lots more than hers

Had to point that out
Its a great big digression
Sorry about that

At the Cemesto’s
Theres a bun in the oven
“Lou Gossett, Jr.”

My sister, Jenwright
Is also knocked up, babies
all over the place

Works for me, because
While I like babies, I like
It when they’re not mine
For me, the best part
was the wedding renewal.
I’m glad we did that.

A watershed year
The whole thing was about change
Expected and not.

Wife finishing school
I was going back to school
We were growing up

The site got bigger
People in town were reading
The dumb things we said

But then BJ died
On November Seventeenth
of 2006

All things considered
This year will go down as one
of my best 10 years.
