"Eric's Written a Sketch"

Actually, not Eric: Rob.

It's a little set-piece of in-jokes I made today for Jimbo.

Jim, are you out there? This is for you.

Pecking Order Problem

Do not place your bets, please, because if you do this video might become illegal.



This is what we get for adopting a new hen into the flock (the charming Silver Laced Wyandotte we've named "Orchid"). Yet another reason that these roosters need to go.

My Favorite Bad Movie of the Last Six Months

When I first saw "Hoodwinked" (and I've seen it twice now; I'm not ashamed), it was one of those desperate hotel-rentals-for-the-kids.

If you saw the first twenty minutes you would be right to feel incredibly dubious of the whole endeavor. B-grade computer animation! Fairy tale theme! Patrick Warburton! David Ogden Stiers! Andy Dick!

It's got it all.

But it grows on you, and honestly, it's also pretty fun, with some funny banter and silly characters. I dare you to rent it. I think it's well worth the three bucks (or 75 cents apiece for a family of 4).

Probably only Svenja Will Appreciate This. Maybe.

Yes, it involves twitter. I'm sheepish, okay?

Too Late For the Ford Administration

I wish I'd come across this song for The Ford Administration mix ("Impeach the President," by The Honey Drippers) (not the Robert Plant band, the 60's / 70's soul band)

1. Impeach The President
Artist: The Honey Drippers

Released: 1973

It's Narcissism Friday!

Morning Moose

Coming home from dropping the kids at school this morning I happened upon this moose at one of the ponds around the corner from the house.



I would have gotten better pictures but an oversized woman in a hot pink tank top got out of her shabby SUV and walked right up to the water's edge, taking pictures or video with her cell phone all the way. The moose got spooked and took off for the other side of the pond.

He kept his distance after that. Jerk lady.

I Think He Likes the Stage

(NOT, as some might think, "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf")

"Peter Pan"

The kids' school put on a rousing version of "Peter Pan" this weekend (to packed houses), featuring Fergus as Mr. Darling (video to be posted--somewhere--soon) and Norah as Nibs. They both had multiple roles. And here's Fergus as one of Captain Hook's scurvy pirates:
