Easter Bunny

Is there an unwritten rule somewhere out there that easter bunnies are supposed to be creepy? I was looking for an easter themed picture to use and I found these and couldnt help myself from commenting. Enjoy.
"Perfect prefect... now BE the bunny... you are the bunny put your hands up... you're a natural!"

Bucky Bunny with some kind of pink rash on his face.

Only the cool bunnies wear fake Oakley sunglasses.

Asian bunny visiting the kids... so nice.

This is business bunny hop'n off to wall street.

This is early 90's bunny with his vest on. His face is saying... what's that smell?

Special bunnies...

"This job sure beats any job I had in prison!"

Evil bunny. The girl is looking a little nervous. "Well he is the easter bunny... go ahead..."

This one is probably the Martha Stewart of bunnies. She probably made her own hat!

Easter bunny goes to college. "Why do want to take a picture of me with my friends anyway?"

GREENPEACE & QUIET

I am looking for a little "greenpeace and quiet" I'm sure I'm not the only one on this planet that is sick and tired of people trying to get us all to "go green". Here are a few of my frustrations. This week I picked up the recent copy of Readers Digest, apparently for the past few months they have been pushing and pushing the "green" lifestyle. The most recent one pushed me over the edge. This article was giving tips on how to be an environmentalist... one of the tips was to push for tax increases on fossil fuels so that people will be discouraged from using fossil fuels (Gas). Well if thats the case I wonder if Al Gore will stop flying his private jet all over the world promoting cutting carbon emissions. If you want to be so called "green" great... do it and shut up about it. That's your choice... I don't want to go "green" and thats MY choice so don't force it on me. I feel like every time I turn the tv on or listen to the radio its all about doing whats right for the environment to stop global warming. First of all I don't even believe in this global warming nonsense. I believe that the earth warms and cools over time and its been that way since it was created. I do not believe that human activity is the cause for any warming trends we may be seeing. Even if we were the cause as humans, who is to say that we could reverse any effects. Who can tell me honestly that if everyone changed their light bulbs to those expensive "friendly" ones or if we didn't use plastic grocery bags we could put a stop to global warming. I think global warming is the convenient "look how great I am" trend. Celebrities are promoting this to no end as well... hmmm... maybe because someone famous is doing it I should too. Give me a break. The last people to be trusted are celebrities. I just wanted to state my thoughts on this media outbreak we call "going green". I also think its funny that we don't hear very much about global warming in the winter when we have to dig out of the snow... It seems to be the topic of the daily news in the summer when its supposed to be hot outside. I think one way we could avoid this hype is to just turn the news off... walk away and worry about our own lives rather than whether or not the sky is falling... oh I mean earth is warming.

Here are some environ-mental-ists for you...

This guy apparently believes that foregoing pants will save the planet.

I can image him making a creepy old man laugh in this picture... "ha ha ha ha ha ha!"

War and the environment... yep very related topics.

Pat is that you? I have been looking for him... I mean her... errrrr.

Funny Gum Commercial

The Worst!

I just realized that I walked all the way across campus with my zipper down. I passed at least a hundred people! Ah man... thats the worst! At least no one called me out on it.

Crocs.... shameful at best!

Andrea and I were traveling back from Arizona, we were sitting on the shuttle that was taking us back to long term parking when I heard a women telling her husband how warm it had been in Utah. She leaned over and said, "Its been so warm you could have worn your C-R-O-C-S!". I first thought it was funny that she spelled it out and then it hit me... he must be ashamed that he owns and enjoys wearing crocs. For those of you who don't know what crocs are then you have nothing to worry about. If you know first hand what crocs are... because you own a pair... pay attention. You need to burn those as quickly as possible. Consider this a public service announcement... when it gets warmer in the next few months... buy some flip flops (thongs) and put your crocs out in the trash!


I am assuming that this is a man wearing these crocs by the hair on the legs... I could be wrong but can you see what crocs lead to! Socks with sandal like shoes! Please see the light! Think twice before you wear crocs!



Here is another man wearing crocs... they're navy blue which is a slight improvement... but why in the world would you want to look like you have duck feet?

Rosie wears crocs... is that not reason enough???????

This to me is a huge red flag! If people have found ways to embellish the crocs to make them more appealing to young kids... they are not for adults anymore! Time to move on. I have an example from my childhood... I remember when the Coolio song "Gansta's paradise" was really cool... I also remember the moment when it stopped being cool... I was driving in the car with my Mom and she knew and sang every word. (We were driving in her car and were headed west on Lake Forest Blvd and Toledo Rd.) Do you understand where I am coming from now?



If croc decorating is something that young girls do at slumber parties... then maybe grown men and women should not wear these!

Um... these should be outlawed!

I don't care if you are the president of the United States of America... crocs are the worst thing ever invented. Wearing these shoes is by far the worst decision President Bush has made as President.




Ok... this is what crocs drive people to do! Why in the world would a grown man in a suit have the desire to match his shirt with his shoes. This is a mess... I would send him home to change if he worked for me! I am sure his name tag reads: "Hello my name is... I have no women in my life.. do you know what I am doing wrong?" Yes we do... its the crocs!





There just isnt anything in the world like sitting next to a warm fire place with a hideous pair of crocs on. Notice there are no man legs in this picture? There is a reason... the ugly crocs scared them away.



So in conclusion... never wear crocs! Find another alternative. If you see someone wearing crocs... helps them! If you are looking to help people that wear crocs... here are some things to look for...

1. They are usually by themselves or with small children (also wearing crocs.. they will probably be talking about how to decorate their crocs.)

2. Look for people with fanny packs on! If they are still hanging on to the fanny pack... chances are they just discovered crocs. Stop them before it gets too serious.

3. Look for people wearing tie dyed shirts with wolves and bears and indians and rainbows and stuff on them. You know the kind... we have seen these at Walmarts and truck stops all over the country.

4. Your neighbor next store may even shock you... the people you least expect who usually have some fashion sense may be guilty of wearing crocs.

5. Hospitals across the country are flooded by nurses wearing these things... make sure they put real shoes on before they work on you... for sanitation sake!

PLEASE PLEASE THINK TWICE THE NEXT TIME YOU ARE TEMPTED TO WEAR THE CROCS YOU MAY ALREADY OWN. THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO LOVE YOU AND WANT MORE FOR YOU THAN CROCS!

A Phrase A Week Mailing List

I have recently joined an email mailing list (I know who wants more junk email right?) that sends explanations for the words and phrases we use in the English language. I have always wondered why we say some of the things we say... I guess its mostly opinion based but I still think some of these explanations are interesting.

Here is one I always thought was interesting:

"I could care less!" : People have suggested that "I could care less!" is a mistake for "I couldn't care less," which it contradicts. Perhaps not. Bubble-gum English is different. The movie "Valley Girl" (1983) tried amusingly to capture the vocabulary and flavor of Valley-speak, the language of teenaged girls in the San Fernando Valley, who spoke in a sort of coded version of English (while teenaged boys prefer not to talk at all). The movie "Clueless" (1995) also dealt with teen-speak, and made "As if!" a sort of by-word. It apparently means "As if that could be true!" (said skeptically). I believe this sort of ellipsis explains "I could care less!" Just preface it with "As if" or "As though" or "Like." In this case, "like" serves as a conjunction (horrors!) rather than as the deplorable teen punctuation in which every clause begins with "like." Of course, the teen misuse of "like" is a venial sin compared to its misuse by grownups who should know better, such as those responsible for TV news and commentary, and for contributions to intellectual magazines like "Harper's" and "The Atlantic," where expressions like internecine, fortuitous, beg the question and a raft of others are routinely misused. Incidentally, if you'd like to hear young ladies REALLY talking to each other in code, watch the movie "Slums of Beverly Hills" (1998). And that's fer sher.

Dictionary Update

Fabulous: fab-yuh-luh s - This word should only used by women and homosexuals. Heterosexuals are immediately assumed homosexual with the use of this word. WARNING all "gay-dars" pick up this word when used. If you are heterosexual and wish to be portrayed as such please refrain from ever using this word. Consider the following examples:

Homo: "These potatoes are fabulous!"
Hetero: "These potatoes are great!"

Homo: "I'm doing just fabulous!"
Hetero: "I'm doing really well!"

Homo: "You look fabulous in that."
Hetero: "You look really good in that"

Homo: "We just had a fabulous time!"
Hetero: "We had a really good time!"

Homo: "Those shoes are simply fabulous!"
Hetero: "I like your shoes!"

Homo: "Thanks so much for the fabulous party!"
Hetero: "Thank you for the great party!"

Homo: "Your eyeshadow is fabulous... it really makes your eyes pop!"
Hetero: "... you look really nice!"

Hopefully the point of this lesson is fully understood. If you want your vocabulary to trigger questions on your sexual preference then continue the use of this word. If you want people to know you are heterosexual then I suggest not using this word ever again.

"Mecklaces"

Sometimes I think there are things that should go without saying. Unfortunately when something is not said I feel the need to address it on my blog. This way I can be assured that there is no confusion and then I don't have to mention it to anyone who may be an offender. If I offend anyone that is not my intent. I will apologize to every man wearing a necklace right now if you will also apologize for wearing one.

The Puka (Puke-a) shell necklace is GREAT for women... when they are within 10 miles of an ocean beach. It is NEVER ok for men to wear these. My brother Bart calls the guys that wear these "sup bros" they are usually seen driving Jettas and wearing K-Swiss shoes.

I don't know what these are called. Apparently men wear them because of this picture and it needs to spot. I think I have seem hanging things from them. Come on guys... not a good idea.

So this is what people look like when they wear gold chains... this is not a good look.

Almost like the gold but worn on the outside.

Any leather type necklace is bad for men... this is borderline Gothic.

Hemp! This was popular during the Curt Cobain era. Now you can pick them up at your local Pac Sun or Buckle. These can also be worn by "sup bros".

This is THE ONLY acceptable necklace to be worn by men. The military uses this for identification which means that it actually serves a purpose.

So remember the following are bad:

Fanny Packs
"Mecklaces"
and cell phones on belts!

Christmas Pictures

Okay I know these should have been posted earlier but better late than never right? These are in no particular order.

Here is Jake (my little brother) opening up a gift from us... look at the concentration!

This is my newest little cousin Jack. When he smiles you can't help smiling back.

Here is Jack with my uncle Kris. He loved this train.

Ok... I am aware that this picture is blurry and dark but I wanted everyone to see the moment I captured here... this is the first glance at the loot from the top of the stairs. Do you remember when you were a kid and feeling that rush of excitement?

Here is my Mom and Scott. I think this one came out awesome!

Well I hope everyone had a very merry Christmas this year... we sure did!

Happy New Year!

I know today is the 2nd day of January but I wanted to wish everybody a happy new year. We had a pretty quite new year in Idaho. We went up on new years eve and spent the night watching the ball dropping stuff. It was also freezing cold! I think it got down to the negative digits... it was supposed to be -10. The cold was also very nice to my battery in the 4Runner. The cold killed it! So that was part of the new years festivities. Other than than we had a pretty low key holiday.
