It's a Charlie Brown Christmas

Who doesn't love Charlie Brown? Every time Lucy would pull that football out from under him I wanted to just punch her in the face, I may have had some anger issues as a child. Anyways, here's a few facts you may not have known about the Charlie Brown Christmas show and here's a quiz..I got 80%, beat that suckers.

Underwear humour

Think in pairs...

It's no fun having a drunk for a wife...

Well said A.A....after reading these comic strips I am definitely going to cut back, maybe...I especially appreciate how polite and well dressed everyone is in these comics. "I went to jail because of my drinking", says the woman with a smile, "I went to my first A.A. meeting in a mental institution" says the man with the pipe...didn't we all though really... It's kind of creepy that everyone looks like they're from an Archie comic...boy, Riverdale has got some serious problems going on these days...

Desk Jobs Suck

Ok, so right now, I'm at an inservice where I'm supposed to be researching, evaluating and suggesting websites for educational use. All in all, a worthy indeavour. But, I'm taking a break at this very moment because....desk jobs suck... How do people do this all day? Apparently my attention span is way worse than I thought but I could not handle this day after day. I NEED RECESS!! Who wants to go outside and play? Aww, come on! I need to run around and let off some steam....Pass the retalin...

The ego has landed

Oh my god you guys, I seriously don't have an ego problem, I was just trying to be funny. But after I wrote and posted my last post, I re-read it and it sounds like I'm a total egomaniac! Alright, just realize that I wrote that to be funny, when I was taking a break from writing a paper....I'm not a jerk, I promise....

Keep the Tricia in Triciamas

People are always complaining about "Holiday Concerts" instead of Christmas concerts and the like, and I've had enough. Hey, I'm the first person to say that Christmas is an important holiday, but perhaps not for the reason that you're thinking.

December 25th is a day when you don't have to go into work, you spend time with family and friends, you sing special songs, eat decadent, rich foods and when you buy presents for those you love in celebration of the birth of someone very important: Tricia. That's right, while you may think of December as "Christmas", this year you should really get with the times and begin to think of this important holiday the way Christ himself would want you to: as "Triciamas".

Triciamas is a non-denominal celebration: Triciamas doesn't care if you believe in God, Buddha, Allah, Karma, Area 51 or the Easter Bunny, as long as you believe in yourself...and of course Tricia. And Triciamas has never insighted violence in the Middle East.

Triciamas is not commercial, it doesn't advertise on TV, scream lame songs at you from the radio, demand that you take a picture with a hairy fat man, or buy hundreds of dollars in presents. Triciamas just wants you to be happy, and perhaps that you buy Tricia a drink, and if you're feeling especially merry, a small token of your appreciation that may or may not include jewels or cash.

Triciamas, like Tricia herself, is appreciated by children and adults alike. Just like those warm, fuzzy feelings you get when spending time with Tricia, Triciamas brings a feeling of warmth and joy to all those who take time to celebrate the wonderous birth of Tricia.

While a relatively new celebration, this will be approximately the 28th celebration of Triciamas, although scholars believe that there may have been many years of celebrating the prophetized arrival of Tricia.

So this year, gather round the Triciamas tree, sip some eggnog, sing some Triciamas carols, open some Triciamas presents and bask in the wonder that is the birth of Tricia. Then maybe call her and wish her a Happy Birthday.

Bizzare Commercials

If you've got a little time to kill....this is an Advent calendar where each day has a new bizzare commercial. December 4ths Underoos commercial is my current favourite. "My heros are Superman and Luke Forbes"....

And I always thought Tom Hanks was a good guy...

I loved that alternate trailer for The Shining and here's a really creepy one for the movie "Big" with Tom Hanks.

Paper Toss

I kick-ass at this game! In real life I'm pretty awesome at it too...I can hit the garbage can with a white board marker from pretty much any spot in my classroom. Paper of course, is a little different because you've got to take wind resistance and the weight of the paper into account: printer paper = only short shots, construction paper = long bombs from the three point line. It's all about the science my friends...
