Saturday Cute kid pics

It's been a little while since I had the chance to post some cute kid pictures and brag on the cutest baby in the whole world... (in my opinion but I am probably biased)

Here he is trying to get into the dog's crate

Here we are on the deck getting ready for the Coca-Cola 600

"You can't catch me Daddy"

This kid loves balloons!

Here is the promised photo of Patrick eating Cherrios like a dog

This is "Patrick's Place" or Baby Jail which takes up about a 1/4 of our living room!

"Sure I am messy but I just don't care""Check it out Daddy, It's a goat!!"
"C is for Cookie and thats good enough for me"

"Why did you put this hat on my head? We aren't even out on the boat"

Hope ya'll have a great weekend.

Thursday Random Thoughts 5/29/2008

Stuff I have been thinking about:

- I forgot to mention last week that we used some of our "Economic Stimulus" check to get a new lawn mower. OK we did our part to help the economy. Oh and the lawn mower is sweet! I am so glad to get rid of the self-propelled mower that I was using because it was hurting my back. I am happy to have a push mower again.

-I keep having the funny feeling that we have gone too long without a real major news story. When I say major I mean MAJOR. I have a bad feeling that we are due for one soon.

-I was flipping stations on the radio in my car yesterday morning and caught a little bit of the John Boy and Billy show. They were doing a parody song of the Oak Ridge Boys' 'Elvira.' It was called 'Obama' and oh my gosh it was hilarious. I can't remember all of it but the hook was, "to get rid of Chelsea's Mama, go Obama. Yeaaah!" LOL!

-OK, here is the wrap up on "The longest Day of the year." It was a big success. My wife, son, and I discovered that Radio Margaritaville was running replays of live Buffett concerts all weekend long so we hung out on the back deck listening to Brother Jimmy on the SAT radio and chilling with a few Landsharks. (Jimmy Buffett's own beer - I think it's better than Corona) We had some friends come over to pitch horseshoes, watch the race, and grill out. The menu included: chips & dip, grilled flank steak, buffalo chicken bites, BBQ chicken, shrimp kabobs, vegetable kabobs, twice baked potatoes, and other yummy stuff. It was great and yes as promised here are the pictures of the jets flying over our house during the pre-race fly over. (For some reason it won't let you click on them for close ups)



-The most classic line of this past weekend was by one of my wife's good friends. On Monday we went to a cook out at their house and they have a two year old who is becoming quite demanding or "high maintenance" as she calls him. In addition to other things he apparently has to have all of his food cut up in just the proper way. At one point mom was heard to say in exasperation, "Son, I am NOT cutting up Cool-Whip" I couldn't help it I had to bust out laughing.

-Did you know that gasoline is only twelve cents a gallon in Venezuela?

-When you get some time I want to you check out ...And the pursuit of Happiness. It's a good blog read of course but the reason I am highlighting it here is that she is going to be having a "Guess that tattoo" contest next week starting Monday I think. Check it out!

-What is the most embarrassing song that you really like? I will admit to mine. I love the Backstreet Boys song "I want it that way." My wife makes fun of me for it but I don't care.

-Did ya'll hear that the toilet on the International Space station is clogged up and they are having to rush supplies up there on the space shuttle to fix it? Does a certain scene from National Lampoon's Christmas vacation pop into any one's mind? LOL

-I read the other day that scientists are trying to come up with more environmentally friendly bombs. What the hell? yeah you read that right. Bombs that are more environmentally friendly. Look here if you are dropping a bomb on something you sure as heck aren't worried about it's condition after you blow it to smithereens. I wonder what they are going to call these things. Green bombs would be my guess. Yeesh.

Good morning Droogs

Tuesday Word Game winner

Thank you to all my peeps who weren't hung over or asleep and played Tuesday word game yesterday. This weeks winner was tough to choose as always. Leighann and Lu were on fire as usual. I went back and read and the entry that got me laughing the most was from an anonymous commenter named "Cammy". Now I am pretty sure I know who this person is and think that she would make an excellent blogger because she is certainly "US People" Cammy's comment was the following Brittney Spears based quip:

Odd Louisiana Laws . . . In the town of Kentwood, unless impaired or infirmed, it is illegal to stay in a seated position during the playing of "Oops, I did it Again."

Now like I said, I am only guessing at who this "Cammy" is but I bet that I am right. Please come and get your peach Cammy and please create a blog so you will have some place to display it properly:

Tuesday Word Game 5/27/2008

Believe it or not it's already Tuesday again. That means word game time kiddies. I figured it has been a little while since we dealt with either weird laws or the State of Louisiana so lets go there this week. Give this article a read because it involves both! I am quite sure that our crew can come up with some other odd laws that could possibly be on the books in Louisiana. I have heard that New Orleans has it's own set of laws anyway. Complete the following news article with an off the wall law:

HOUMA, La. - Police in this town wouldn't cut a break for a barber who ran afoul of an obscure law barring him from working Sundays and Mondays.

Clyde Scott had opened his shop May 19 just to trim up a few students getting ready for their graduation ceremony when an officer gave him a citation.
A law on the books in Houma for decades bars barbers from working Sundays, Mondays, any of several holidays and even the day after Labor Day.
"I didn't know it existed," said Scott, 32, who has owned Clippas barbershop for about two years. "It's crazy."

Other odd laws in Louisiana include __________________ .

As always answer as often as you like in the form of a comment and the best answer wins a "Peach" tomorrow morning.

What's in a name ?

I hope that everyone had a great long weekend. I know that we did over at the Doc household. We hung out all weekend and yes I even got that picture of the jets over my house I promised earlier. Look for it on Thursday during Random thoughts.

Thank you all for your great poll ideas. I now have several good one to ask in coming weeks however this weeks poll idea comes to us from my pal and yours Lulita. She wanted to know if you like the name your parents gave you. It's an interesting idea. The poll question is simple. Yes or No, do you like your name? Even though the poll question is simple I am sure this group has some discussion that can go on about it as well. What do you think?

-Doc

What should next weeks poll be?

We have had polls about funny issues, controversial issues, food, drinks, political issues (see Hillary and Barack to the left) and tons of other stuff however we haven't had a reader chosen poll yet. Next weeks poll is up to you guys. Give me some ideas... What should I make next weeks poll be about? Leave some ideas and I will choose one to be the poll next week.

The worst Mascot EVER!

So you think that you have seen it all when it comes to bad mascots? I would say that you are wrong until you have met Petey the Pee Cup. Yes you read that correctly folks, Petey the Pee cup. It seems that HealthPartners inc was having trouble getting their message out to Gen X so they decided to create a mascot to help. A giant 7 foot tall specimen jar of urine. You must see this video to believe me. Petey even has his own website and is on facebook. Next thing you know he will be hanging out on blogger? Hey Jay, do you want Petey as a part of Bastard Nation??

Does anyone else think this is just a bad idea? Oh and if the pee cup wasn't enough pretty soon he is going to be joined by "Pokey the syringe" soon to become the mascot to heroin addicts everywhere.... Yeesh.

Thursday Random Thoughts 5/22/08

Stuff I have been thinking about:

-I haven't had baby back ribs in too long. I need to get some...soon.

-Thank goodness that David Cook won American Idol over David Archuleta. When Ryan announced the winner he said that Cook got 12 million more votes than Archuleta. In my opinion that gives the show back a little bit of the credibility it has been suffering from a lack of. BTW - Little Archuleta better be glad that the boxing on the finale was just a theme and not how they decided the winner because Cook would have pulverized that little punk.

-HA! I just read where that owner of the company "Lifelock" who gives out his real social security number in the commercials to show that his product will protect you from identity theft actually got his identity stolen by someone in Texas who got a payday advance loan for $500 and he never found out about it until the company called him trying to collect. Serves him right. Idiot.

-We don't go to the movies very often but this summer there are some good looking movies coming out. In addition to Indiana Jones my wife and I want to see Kung Fu Panda. That movie looks funny as heck.

-I am sorry if anyone else is in pain after Peachfest the other day. My carpel tunnel syndrome kicked up on me after all the typing... OUCH !

-Interesting search note of the week. Someone from Los Angeles actually reached our blog by searching the words: anteater, termites, fogger. Thanks to Leighann, Lu, and Anndi for that discussion about Heather Mills wooden leg. I luv ya'll.

-I think I need to buy Cool and the Gang's Greatest Hits. They are awesome.

-Congress was grilling oil company executives about gas prices the other day. Sure I understand supply and demand and the dollar's value and the factors that lead to the cost. However don't try and say that your profits aren't through the roof during this time. Now I am no socialist wanting you to give the gasoline away but please don't patronize us and play the "poor us" role in all of this. That makes us angry. If I had to bet I would say that someday when oil is not the vital fuel that it is today that you guys are going to be coming back before congress with your hat in your hand asking for a hand out and some help so that you don't go bankrupt. We will remind you of these record profits when you do.

-I heard the other day on the radio the other day that Angelina Jolie wants to name her twins Castor and Pollux. Without having to look it up does anyone else catch that reference? (Hopefully Knight does...LOL) If you do catch the reference what ironic name should Brangelina give their next child if it's a girl?

-I like Kid Rock pretty well however I hate that he is sampling Warren Zevon in his new song "All summer long" That song would be fine without "Werewolves of London's" hook in it. By the way, if you are not familiar with any of Zevon's work other than "Werewolves" you are missing out. Look up and listen to his song Excitable Boy. The social commentary contained within was way before it's time but is still relevant today. Also I think his duet with Bruce Springsteen called "Disorder in the House" shortly before his death in 2003 is one of the Top 10 best songs of this decade.

-Speaking of songs they were talking on the radio yesterday about "graduation" songs and how high school students have a graduation song every year. Did anyone have a graduation song? Did we have one Vin? I sure don't remember it if we did. Maybe I am just missing out on something here?

-This Sunday (the day before Memorial Day) is probably my favorite day of the entire year. I call this Sunday "The longest day of the year" referring to the Coca-Cola 600 NASCAR race run here in Concord, NC. Where when we go to the race we get there about 9 am and after the race and the traffic we are rarely home before 2 am even though we only live about 9 miles from the track. This year we aren't going however I still plan on tailgating on my back deck. Maybe I will take a picture of the fighter jets or stealth bomber as it flies right over my house for you guys!

Peachfest Afterglow

Once again I wanted to thank each and every one of you guys who helped make Peachfest yesterday such a huge success. Never in my wildest imagination did I think that we would get over 1000 comments. I should have known better. You guys are the best.
I went back last night and tried to re-read through all the comments and finally realized that there was simply no way that I could ever pick a winner out of that. There were way too many good contest entries and other funny (or pervy) comments that made me laugh. I decided instead of trying to tamper with your perfection that I would lock up that post (not allowing anymore commentary) and enshrine it in the YJKOBT Hall of Fame that I am creating. I can't think of a more deserving group of comments and commentors than yesterday's:

Thanks again everyone... I am already looking forward to next year's Peachfest.

PEACHFEST - Tuesday Word Game 5/20/08

Welcome to the first annual YJKOBT Peachfest!!

A couple of quick notes:
-If you are new to our blog, Welcome! Each Tuesday at noon we play a little game where we make up humorous endings to odd news stories. The best entry each week wins my "Peach" award which is a depiction of the peach water tower in Gaffney SC.
-Today is a special day and we are trying for a record 500 entries in 5 hours.
-Everyone who contributes a comment gets a commemorative "t-shirt" Please see the post below this one to pick up a shirt!
-Thank you to MickyT who came up with the idea for Peachfest. Thank you to Leighann who designed the T-Shirts and a big thank you to all of our loyal readers who are supporting this effort today !!

Now - On with the game !!

I knew that I had to come up with something good for this edition of Tuesday Word game so where do we head? I figured a good place to start would be Iceland's Penis museum of course. (specimens pictured to the left) Give this phallic news article a read and tell me if the founder of this place doesn't suffer from a tiny bit of penis envy. Yeesh.

Well for this weeks word game I figured that if they could have a penile museum we could certainly come up with a few hundred other types of funny and interesting museums or museum exhibits. Complete the following passage from the news article below with your own funny or odd idea or exhibit for a museum.

HUSAVIK, Iceland (Reuters) - Sigurdur Hjartarson is missing a human penis. But he's not worried: four men have promised to donate theirs to him when they die.
Hjartarson is founder and owner of the Icelandic Phallological Museum, which offers visitors from around the world a close-up look at the long and the short of the male reproductive organ.
His collection, which began in 1974 with a single bull's penis that looked something like a riding crop, now boasts 261 preserved members from 90 species.
A growing number of people from all over the world view the collection each year, 60 percent of them women.
"We had 6,000 visitors last summer and actually made a profit," Hjartarson said with a smile.

Because of their success their next museum will feature _________________.

Enter as many suggestions as you like since we are trying for 500 comments in 5 hours today... Or just simply comment on what someone else has to say. Join the conversation. It will be fun.

Happy Peachfest everyone!
