Busy schedule this weekend and my quest

This weekend is going to be a busy one at our house. Tomorrow we are going with some friends of ours to the pumpkin farm to take the kids to pick their own pumpkins, we have a birthday party and I am going to try to attend John McCain's rally in Concord. Sunday we are going to Martinsville Virginia to do the only thing there is to do in Martinsville Virginia and that is to attend the NASCAR race as guests of a great sponsor SNAP ON TOOLS. We are going to hospitality and possibly meet and greet with drivers etc. Sounds great huh?

Here is my quest for this weekend. Of all that fun stuff my goal is to get my picture taken with either John McCain or Kevin Harvick. What do you think? Does anyone else have anything fun going on this weekend? What is your weekend quest?

McCain in the Membrane

I thought this photo from last night was funny and figured it was photoshopped but it's not. This is an actual Reuters news photo from last night's debate. I figured you guys would like it.

To me it kinda of looks like John McCain is trying to dance to his own version of Cypress Hill's Insane in the membrane... This one is McCain in the Membrane. (McCain in the brain)

Nik Wallenda

I suppose I should give my congratulations to
Nik Wallenda for his World Record bicycle high wire act live on the Today Show this morning. (video)

However, I still remain unimpressed!
Really now, what's the big deal?
It wasn't dangerous enough in my opinion.

So Nik if you are reading this, I offer the following suggestions for your next stunt:

- Ride the bike across the wire with a
rabid, in-heat wolverine on your head.
Now that would be impressive!
or,
- Eat six bean burritos & laxatives an hours before the stunt. Have a toilet attached to the seat and then ride across the high wire.
Now that would be impressive!
or,
- Ride the bike at full speed and jump over David Blaine who is lying still on the wire for 3 days in another one of his own stupid stunts.
Now that would be impressive!
or,
- Ride across the wire on a two seater bicycle with your mother-in-law on the back seat as she is yelling at you about what a loser her daughter married because you never got a real job.
Now that would be impressive!

But Nik I guess you've already decided that your next stunt will be to walk across the Grand Canyon on a high wire next spring. I am still unimpressed. Unless of course a bunch of desert vultures see you and start to hover a few inches above your head in anticipation to munch on your maimed carcass.
Now that would be impressive!

Escape proof Pack-n-Play

My good buddy the Mt. Cat was thinking about my son Patrick and his well being after he found out that Patrick has the ability to break out of "baby jail" and pretty much anywhere else we try to contain him. So Mt. Cat decided to invent an escape proof pack and play to make sure that Patrick is always safe. Here is what he came up with:


Mt. Cat is going to start selling these in stores soon. I think the model shown above is in "Alcatraz Azure Blue" Models will also be available in "Guantanimo Green" and "Abu-Gharib Gray" as well.

Queen Quiz

Please read the following article and please let me know who you think 'The Queen' is:

Who has bigger ego? Aretha Franklin says it's Tina Turner By Edna Gundersen, USA TODAY

The Queen of Soul is in high dudgeon. Aretha Franklin, who expressed her displeasure in February after Beyoncé referred to Tina Turner as "the queen" during a salute on the Grammy Awards, is now fuming over remarks by her royal rival.

Turner, currently on tour, was silent when Franklin dubbed Beyoncé's remark "a cheap shot for controversy." Asked to comment in a USA TODAY interview last week, Turner said, "She's the queen of soul, and I'm the queen of rock 'n' roll. There were so many kings and queens there that night. Her ego must be so big to think she was the only one." She joked, "That's how queens are!"

One queen wasn't laughing. In a statement to USA TODAY, Franklin says Turner "clearly was talking about herself" in terms of ego.

"I never figured her to resort to tacky press just to sell a few tickets," says Franklin, who adds she has never met Turner. "I really had put her in a different class — higher than that.

"No one has been more gracious … to their peers than I have, and I am confident and secure enough to do so, unlike some others." Turner did not respond to requests for comment.
