Photo Friday (Goonies all grown up)


I can't remember where I found this, or else I would give them credit. I loved Goonies. I thought it was a great movie. Oh I believe the second one from the right is "Chunk". Apparantly he's an entertainment lawyer now.

Welcome Isabelle

I just heard via Facebook that Vics, a blogger friend of mine since late 2004/early 2005 has given birth to a little girl, named Isabelle. Well according to the father, I haven’t confirmed it with the person who actually gave birth to the child, but I have a feeling that she’s not up to blogging, or changing me status message on Facebook right now. Anyway I’m really happy for Vics.

While I’m a third of the planet away, (she lives in the UK) so I haven’t had the opportunity meet Vics, her bloke or the new addition, but I do feel like I’ve known them forever (well not the newborn). Actually I’ve been chatting her her online since before she and the bloke got together, and based what I know about him…she’s in such trouble.

I remember one time when I called (actually I haven’t spoken to her in some time and need to do something about that), he answered. Asked for her, and he politely asked who I was, and I told him, to which he replied, one he realized it was me that “Vics was doing her monthly bath, and it was good thing too because she was ripe”. It was at that point when I realized that she found a real winner. During the conversation, I could also hear him screaming “Baboon” in the background, where he allegedly runs round with his pants half down to reveal how “cheeky” he really is. I’ve since received more evidence of this when I sent them Stampede Bandannas last year, to which Stef drew a picture on my Graffiti app on my Facebook page. The picture was of him and Vics wearing the bandannas. Stef in the picture had the back part of his pants down and had a baboon ass.

I haven’t seen pictures of the baby, yet, but I’m sure the proud father will be taking them, and posting them soon. I look forward to seeing them and I’m praying that child looks like her mother. Though I’m sure that dad and baby will have the same hair for a little while.

Even thought I haven’t meet either of these people, and that we’ve only spoken to each other on the phone a handful of times, I do look forward to meeting them face to face. I’m planning a trip to the UK in 2010, probably in the late summer, or early fall. Sure I’d like to go sooner, but I do have a prior commitment next August in Chicago. The probably means that I’m be around when Isabelle hits the “terrible twos”. I’ll probably stay in a hotel across town.

A Teddy Bear Phone?


As predicted, no one was impressed with the giant nose shampoo gel dispenser. Also, as predicted, people weren’t impressed with the shower breast, but I’ve found something that will make everyone happy. I bring to you the Teddy Bear cell phone. Well I didn’t actually invent it, but you get my meaning.

When I saw this, I thought, Ok people are going to walk around with teddy bears next to their ears. Is this a good thing? Are young women going to walk around carrying teddy bears? Will the bear scream when you inset the SIM card? I admit it’s cute, and in Asia, cute is a big thing, but I would this take off over here in North America? Sure there’s the Hello Kitty crowd but really?

I know that a lot of “cute” stuff comes out of Japan. They live for it. Women are encouraged to talk with a high-pitched voice, because it’s considered “cute”, but dammit, this cute thing will go too far eventually. Let’s look at Pokemon. Pikachu is cute. Even the way he only says his name is cute. Everything about the critter is cute.

I’ve read that the “phone” will sell for $500. $500 for a teddy bear cell phone? Not so cute anymore. Also it has 4 speed dial options depending on which paw you squeeze. Also, you answer and hang up by pressing the tail. I don’t know about you, but if I feel pressure round my “tail” area. Someone is going to their asses kicked. I’m just waiting for the headline about the bear mauling someone.

I’m not a fan of this thing, but I am looking forward to seeing people using it. I just hope they don’t walk around while talking, because it going to obstruct someone’s vision, and they could get hit by a car.

Let's just throw maturity out the window.

A part of me has always wanted my blog to be relevant and respected, in today’s digital age. A website where many people come to value my opinions. Another part of me wants this blog to be part of my true nature. Guess which side of my brain wanted the ice-skating monkeys posted?

Ok let’s just be honest, throw the respected out the window and be done with it. I’ve just found the coolest/most disgusting thing ever. It’s a giant nose that dispenses shower gel. Seriously you poke the nose and green (yuck) gel comes out of the nostril. I know it’s absolutely disgusting, but I WANT THIS.

Actually, I’d like to have it at work and have it dispense Purell hand sanitizer instead. Ok it would be clear, but it still would look yucky. It would freak everyone out, and I would love it. In fact, whenever a female coworker comes in to ask me for something, I would be “hold on, I need to clean my hands first” and take the nose and rub the goop all over my hands. I guess I’m still 9 years old mentally.

Well maybe a little older because I would put the Shower Breasts in my shower. So I guess, I’m a perverted 9 year old, mentally.
