Big Weekend

Big weekend, renovating our fireplace and chimney.

Here I am calibrating the critical, precise measurements for Santa.

Halloween Cartoon Carnival

Bugs Bunny and Gossamer: "Hair-Raising Hare" (1946, Chuck Jones) via YouTube


Popeye the Sailor: "Ghosks Is the Bunk" (1939, Max Fleischer) via YouTube

Tom and Jerry: "The Flying Sorceress" (1955, William Hanna, Joseph Barbera) via YouTube

There Will Be Butterfingers

The perfect Halloween: "Bud Abbott and Lou Costello Meet Frankenstein" (1948) and Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis get "Scared Stiff" (1953).

That's my night -- plus, the obligatory stomach pump. Nurses in nurses costumes. Maybe a Certs.

I'll be dressing up as the remote control. I hope I don't lose me in the sofa.

It's the wife's favorite costume. She mutes me.

My Recent Confessions and Observations on Twitter:

My television emitted a Kajagoogoo reference. I got up off of my couch and slapped the set. It's better now.

I see @kirklands is on Twitter. Suddenly, it smells like wicker and cinnamon in here. Ick. I'll wait out in the car....

My connecting with these kids today clicks. We hunky-dory. More Goober peas for me peaps!

Drat. I missed some event in ATL called Day of the Cupcake. I would've liked to attend. I was at Day of Crumbs on the Bottom of the Oreo Bag.

Oops. I missed commemorating my 3500th tweet. My impeccable life has been blemished. Damn you, Twitter! Aaarrgh, a misstep. I need a skink..

I've been asked to participate in ATLANTA BALLET'S NUTCRACKER. Okay, but no starch in the tutu.

Watched RAISING HOPE. Not one, not two, but THREE spit-takes in a single episode! ... Bliss.

News: Porn Bunkers for the Apocalypse. In my small town, selection limited to the landfill with a blow-up possum in knee breeches and snood.

Picking out the perfect ascot and ear trumpet for my first day as a hip-hop mogul...

I saw an ad for Shaggy's Doggy Daycare. I'm the type of guy who would go get a puppy just so I could say "Shaggy's Doggy Daycare."

Big Weekend

Big weekend, screw loose at "Footloose." 

About 90 minutes into the film, I stepped outside our car.

"Where are you going?" my wife asked.

"To get more clichés."

Shovel-Ready Throb

Continued From: "Big Weekend," "Meanwhile...," and "It Sucks to Be Mikey" 

After forking over $600 to have our septic tank pumped, I discovered it was not enough money to get the dirt placed back into the hole.

Silly me.

"Okay, I'll do it," I told my wife. And she let me.

I figured I'd save another couple of hundred bucks and, at the same time, tone and glisten the exotic sinewy musculature we all call "Golly!"

My cats were chagrined I didn't cover up the box with my feet, but that would have meant getting onto all fours and violating my 30-year-old sacred oath: "No push-ups."

No. No. Nope. Too close to push-ups for comfort.

Besides, my godsons read these pages.

I'm faithful, young men! Church, more church!
