Blue(and Gold) Christmas

Nothing says Christmas like going to a RAMS FOOTBALL GAME on Christmas Eve!!

Here's a touching family holiday moment. Me, sister-in-law, and brother-in-law tailgating.

Notice the lack of festive holiday red in the above photo. The Rams were playing the Redskins, so the color red was taboo. That little kid wearing red in the background to the left of me was later hogtied and left in the parking lot. (just kidding!)

My poor hubby is suffering from the effects of blinding sunlight right in the face without sunglasses:

Surprisingly, the Rams managed to win in overtime! Merry freaking Christmas St. Louis!

Happy Holidays to Everybody!

If anyone reads this blog besides myself, I wish you Happy Holidays!

I didn't know Daffy Duck changed color and defected to Disney!


Daffy looks happy amongst his new Disney friends(minus Mickey and Huey, who are being glued back together right now):

Johnny Sokko Kicks Total Ass

When I was a kid, I was half girly-girl and half tomboy. I loved Barbies and baby dolls and all that jazz, but I also loved the toys and TV shows geared towards boys since I had two older brothers and NO sisters. A few days ago I was kicking around Amazon.com looking for ways to spend more money. Lo and behold, they have downloadable Johnny Sokko episodes!

For people with short attention spans such as myself, Johnny Sokko is like a Cliff's Notes version of a Godzilla movie. Each episode features an interesting uncomplicated plot with no long boring scenes full of useless dialogue. They only have about 22 minutes per episode to kick ass, so they get busy rather quickly. Behold:

Kickass Flying Robot controlled by Johnny Sokko's wristwatch


Evil villains looking like Japanese Nazi Che Guevaras


Damn, they shoot children on this show!


Bryanboy! Shame on you for shooting Johnny!


Johnny's hot partner calls for help with his ballpoint pen


Now **this** is a kickass monster! Giant Flying Eyeball, WooHoo!


Why do my pancakes always turn out looking like this?


Wait, isn't that the Hindenburg? No! It's Emperor Guillotine's spaceship. It blowed up REAL GOOD!


The bad guy always morphs into a giant monster near the end of the show. Then the Robot kicks its ass.


Giant Robot decides to fly this ugly bastard off to crash into a meteor, never to return.


WAAAAAAAH! Come back giant robot(hey, wasn't this kid shot earlier in the episode?)!


Well that's the end of the whole series. Sorry I spoiled the ending for you!

In years past, many a Christmas ornament in our home was destroyed due to TTWI(tree-trimming while intoxicated) or STTOS(sudden tree-tipping over syndrome). Nowadays the ornaments are being massacred at the hands of my helpful little evil elves. The body count so far this season is 12 ornaments broken, only three of which were salvageable.

Thanks to E6000 Craft Adhesive, this pretty pony didn't have to be euthanized:


This poor innocent snowman jingle bell was the victim of a frightening display of rage by a 3-year-old evil elf. E6000 saved the day again!


Donald bravely smiles past the pain in his shattered foot:


In summary, the totals so far:
Day 1:
Evil Elf: 4 glass globe ornaments, 1 snowman jingle bell, 1 carousel horse
Slightly Less Evil Elf: 2 glass globe ornaments
Me: 1 glass globe ornament (not while intoxicated for a change)

Day 2:
Evil Elf: 1 Donald Duck
Slightly Less Evil Elf: 1 glass icicle
Me: 1 glass globe ornament (still not intoxicated; maybe that's the problem)

Evil Elf is in the lead!
