High School Musical 3

Friday night kinda got screwed up for me.  I had decided I wanted to see City of Ember with the boy.  I was kind of leary of this decision, but there was nothing else on for a kid here other than High School Musical 3, which I absolutely did not want to see at all.  Going back as far as… (more…)

Bad Daddy: The Pumpkin Pie episde

School teaches children many wonderful things.  Sometimes, however, they teach small impressionable children things that parents really don’t need them to know.  In this case, that pumpkin pie comes from real live pumpkins.  This caused me issues. Moonlet came home from school with a tiny pumpkin they got to pick out of a local pumpkin patch.  He informed me it… (more…)

Spelling and conceptualizing

Moonlet started kindergarten this year.  I was kinda worried that he would suddenly become retarded or something.  Very quickly my concerns were soothed.  He spells constantly now.  I mean, as in non-stop, all-day.  Nothing is beyond spelling.  When there is nothing to spell, we make up words and spell them.  This has even spilled over into bigger issues in the… (more…)

Batman: The Dark Knight

Amazon.com Widgets We went to see The Dark Knight last night.  I’ll tell you what.  I’ve not been a fan of the Batman movie series at all.  I’ve seen most of them, but even with all the big booms and fights, they bore me.  Everything’s grey, everyone talks in monotone, everthing’s serious.  Now, I grew up with the Adam West… (more…)

A party, some babes, some beer, and some Aqua Dots?

This is just too much to pass on even though I’m kinda busy at work: Toy contaminated with ‘date rape’ drug pulled Now, I had seen this at Walmart or somewhere when cruising the toy section with Moonlet.  It looked like fun for me.  However, at four, he doesn’t have quite the attention span it takes to do it right. … (more…)

Math 911

This is precious! I just love how the cop goes right along with the kid and then tells someone to listen to the mother. I bet they do have some fun at work!

Jack McClellan doesn’t like California any more

OK, let’s say you show up in another state with no money, no job, and no place to live.  You do however, see fit to create a web page with instructions on how to find and molest small innocent children.  You then get busted hanging out around places where small children congregate, taking pictures no less.  After getting out of… (more…)

Teaching Moonlet safe waterboating technique

The day Moonlet arrived in this world, I had a vision of him captaining me around the lake while I relaxed and enjoyed myself.  To this end, whenever possible, I stuck him behind the wheel.  Now, I toyed with this idea several times in the past: I complained at the time that even though we were just sitting there being… (more…)

Happy Independence Day!

A lot of people, and some places entirely, seem to think it’s a bad thing to be very, very proud of my country.  Here in the rural world, we don’t have a problem with showing our pride.  In order to do so, we celebrate BIG.  Now, we don’t have the money to rival some of the big cities, but we… (more…)

The Akon owning video

I saw this video of Akon “owning” some kid for throwing a bottle at him. You can watch it if you want. The only part worth watching is about the last five seconds. Akon owns dumb kid Video Now, what Akon did is assault. He could very well wind up hanging out with Paris. He could very well wind up… (more…)
