Holy Banana Posted December 28, 2009 by Otis Day

Jesus on a Banana

Would you have eaten this Banana?  You only have a day or two before the shading turns darker and you'll lose the image anyways.  Unless the banana never changes...then it really would be a miracle.  Otherwise it's just a banana my kids would never eat, cause it's got too much black stuff on it.

Help I'm sinking! Posted December 28, 2009 by Otis Day

Monday December 28, 2009

Here's your cute fix of the day.  Seriously, just adorable.  Sometimes kids are so unintentionally funny.  Take my 4 year old Hudson.  I got him a nerf gun for Christmas.  Now before you get all freaky like, "Why would you get a four year old a toy gun you terrible parent?"...I grew up playing with fake guns and I'm fine.  In fact, when I was young...the guns didn't come all orange and fake looking.  They were die-cast replicas and looked incredible.  I always pretended to be the good guy catching the bad guy.  So it's not the toy that's the issue....it's the environment they grow up in.  Anyways...after I got him the gun we had the talk about not pointing them at people and only shooting the TV and the Windows(where the darts will stick.) 

Okay, fast forward 3 hours.  We're hooking the new Wii up.  I've never played one, so my 7 year old Britton has to show me how to use it.  She shows me how to create your Mii(which is a digital version of yourself that you end up seeing when you're bowling, or playing Tennis and the other games.)  So Britton and I are Wii Bowling(and she's kicking my but BIG time).  Hudson gets annoyed at Britton for something, picks up his Nerf gun, and proceeds to unload all 6 rounds on the TV at the digital Britton(Mii).  It was so hard not to laugh.  He beat the system.  He shot the TV and Britton without breaking a rule.  Kinda proud of him.

Aerosmith's Steven Tyler checks into Rehab Posted December 23, 2009 by Otis Day

Aerosmith's Steven Tyler has checked himself into a Rehab facility for addiction to prescription painkillers.  He released a statement to People.com late Tuesday night that said in part:

"With the help of my family and team of medical professionals, I am taking responsibility for the management of my pain and am eager to be back on the stage and in the recording studio with my bandmates Joe Perry, Joey Kramer, Tom Hamilton and Brad Whitford."  Steven went on to tell People:

"I love Aerosmith; I love performing as the lead singer in Aerosmith," adding "I am grateful for all of the support and love I am receiving and am committed to getting things taken care of."

This makes me love Christmas Carols Posted December 22, 2009 by Otis Day

This is called "Aggressive Caroling."  It's my new favorite thing.  Makes me want to bite the head off our Christmas Turkey while it's still alive.

The other night we talked about the worst Christmas gift you've ever gotten.  When I was married, my wife was really upset I bought her lawn furniture and a big fan one year.  But see...she can't sleep without a fan and we needed one.  Plus she always complained about not having nice outside furniture for our patio.  I thought I was doing great.  Apparantly that sort of thing is less of a 'gift', and more of a thursday trip to Wal-mart 'hey can you help me grab the stuff I picked up at the store' kinda thing.  CNN has come up with a way to deal with it if your Husband/Boyfriend gets you a lame gift.

I don't even like to wrap the kids presents!! Posted December 22, 2009 by Otis Day

Wrapping gifts is the thing I dislike most about Christmas.  If it were up to me(which I guess it is, but I don't think I can get away with it) I'd just put all the gifts under the tree Christmas Eve unwrapped....the right side would be all Britton's and the left would be all Hudson's.  So there's no way I'd ever do this(wasn't this done on the Office one year?).

Strange Christmas Trees Posted December 22, 2009 by Otis Day

Upside down tree

Tuesday December 22, 2009

I've heard of the Upside Down Christmas tree thing before, but I still don't know if I quite get it.  Is it just to be different?  Why not a nose ring like every other 16-26 year old in America instead?

christmas tree made out of boxes

I'm not sure if this ones gonna work.  If the tree is made out of boxes...what are the presents?  Little trees?  That might work.

Christmas Tree ladder

This one makes the most sense.  Cheap, easy, and lots of room for packages(this is starting to sound like a great set up for a "Kinda like my prom date..." line).

Video Game Christmas Tree

Another sign that Video Games run our lives. 

underwater christmas tree

I like that with this particular tree....you wouldn't have to worry about it catching on fire.  Plus my cats wouldn't go anywhere near it.
