I've been watching old episodes of South Park while I paint, and it just hit me how much this particular episode ("Good Times With Weapons") reminds me of when I was a kid.

But more importantly, PLEASE tell me you have a picture of your kid with one really large m&m filled nostril. Because that's perfect blackmail material.
Blackmail, hell that is facebook material.

My poor little corolla was slipping and sliding all over the roads. Kidlet loves it though cause no school for him today and he is currently outside making a snowman. :)I'm just glad you're home safe. I know I'm biased due to the accident I got into, but sliding on the snow and realizing you are not in control of your vehicle is one of the most frightening experiences I have ever had.
Jenny and I were just having this conversation yesterday. I told her no SUV's, but I would be willing to get her a Sherman Tank if she wanted it.
Her reply: Can I actually use the Tank to blow "stuff" up or are you just going to make me only drive it everywhere?
I loves her so.

My internet connection apparently went to hell today. It's taken 15+ minutes to fully load a three and a half minute video. I am now completely sick of Reel Big Fish, just because I've been listening to the first half of Don't Start A Band for far too long.
EDIT: It took four minutes to post this.

My favorite "let's screw up some children" story was my grandfather. When she was about 5 years old, my sister asked him (over an Easter dinner) where leg of lamb comes from. He told her that somewhere out there is a lamb hobbling around on 3 legs. She cried all evening.
THAT. IS. EPIC.

I have noticed the growing trend, especially from people like this.

Is it OK if I think they are both loons and both of them have missed the point??

Hah! Reminds me of the brief period of time when I was a kid before I learned that meat and muscle were the same thing. (I thought that meat and muscle came from different parts of the animal.)
The deer carcass on the living room table being disassembled for freezer storage quickly disabused me of that notion.

Snow, whats this snow of which you speak?
Right now, I'm not sure, but I think it's something like this or this or this. Or maybe even this.
Right now, we've got something like this. Well, assuming that you bothered to water recently.

First rule of taking pictures -- take LOTS of pictures. Those frost pictures? That was taken across the street from us. I took the kids sledding and noticed the frost on everything. Went back and grabbed the camera. Then took something like 75 pictures. Three turned out pretty well and one of those I cropped a bit. 4% usable pictures was a pretty good day -- usually I'm closer to 1%. It helped having an interesting "subject" on that day.
