Spiders on Drugs

I thought this was humorous....to a point....too real, to a point, as well.

Great comedy teams

This posting is dedicated to the great comedy teams that I remember watching as a kid (in reruns).  It was a special treat each Sunday when the comedy hour came on TV.   It was great funny stuff watching Laurel and Hardy, Abbott and Costello, The Three Stooges and Our Gang/Little Rascals.  When I was gathering pictures for this posting I was trying to figure out which was my "favorite".  At first I thought the choice was easy...Laurel and Hardy (who can keep from laughing when Laurel is in trouble and whimpering while pulling at his hair or rubbing his head?), but then I remembered how I laughed at Lou Costello when he was afraid (ab...ab....abb......abbo........AAAAAAABBOTT!!!!) and the Three Stooges...(nyuck nyuck nyuck).  A much harder choice than I first thought.  Scroll through the pictures and then let me know who your favorites were and maybe a little bit why.

Penny rant

I read something today that really ticked me off.  I read about the "redesigned US Penny".  WHAT?!?!  Why in the heck does the penny need to be redesigned?!  Why were thousands of my tax payer dollar used to retool the manufacturing of the penny - which by some estimates costs 1.62 cents to make already.  Yes, that means it costs more to make the penny than the penny is actually worth.

STUPIDITY!!!

I say eliminate the penny altogether - then maybe someday they will be worth something as collectibles. 

What do the rest of you think about this?

More childhood toy memories

I used to play with this quite often.  Then later, as the troops and indians disappeared, I would use army soldiers.  I would set the figures up all over the place and "pick 'em off" with rubber bands.  Sometimes we used marbles, but shooting rubber bands was my first choice (until my thumb got sore due to my flawed shooting technique).

I remember playing with the Lite-Brite frequently.  I wonder if you could pay a kid to play with this today?  OOOOOoooh the excitement of picking up a peg and pushing it through the paper.....AMAZING it lights up!!  I will confess - it was enjoyable.  Does that mean I'm easily entertained or my life was really really dull?

Lawn Jarts were the best!!  I HATE the fact that STUPID PEOPLE and the idiot lawyers and government took this away from us!  Anyone who can't safely play with lawn jarts need to be isolated on a island, away from normal society...with the people who need a lable on their coffee cups that warn them that the coffee is HOT.

Slime was alot of fun!  It was oozy and squishy and just plain awesome for a 12-13 year old boy.  Lots of gross fun.  Yes, it was probably toxic, which could explain a few things about me today, but it was fun.

The toy Luger capgun.   Oh did I play with this!  The picture brings back that distinct gunpowder capgun smell.....mmmmmmmm.  Great fun!

And who didn't have a model airplane, tank or battle scene?  It was both joyous (smelling the glue) and aggrevating (as glue seeped everywhere and everything began to stick to everything it wasn't supposed to). 

Great memories.  Anyone else being transported back in time by looking at these pictures?

Louie Giglio

Have you ever heard of Louie Giglio?

He is an incredible Christian speaker.  I've watched several of his DVD messages and have enjoyed/been moved/motivated/convicted/inspired/etc. by every single one.

My favorites are Indescribable, How Great is Our God, Hope, and Fruitcake and Icecream - which just so happen to come in a 4 pack (look for them at Amazon.com).  I also really like his DVD titled Tatoo.

Check out his website http://www.268generation.com/ or look him up an Youtube. 

If you have watched a Louie Giglio message or two tell me which one is your favorite.
