Who the Fark am I?



You are Mustard Guy!

Take the "Which FARK Cliche Are You" quiz!




For those of you who read Fark, then you'll know what I mean. Conversely, the only people who read look at this website are me and my wife, I'll just tell her about it at dinner... or not.

Claire is Jon Stewart's Monkey

Speaking of Jon Stewart. Claire is so infatuated with the host of "The Daily Show" that she has made up her own verse to The Wheels on the Bus song.

The toddlers on the bus say "I love Jon Stewart"
"I love Jon Stewart"
"I love Jon Stewart"
The toddlers on the bus say "I love Jon Stewart", all 'round the town!

Election result maps

My friend Michael sent me a link to very interesting Election result maps. Makes you realize why we need to abolish the Electoral College.

Girls out night

The girl and I had our first "girls night out." Claire had trouble getting this out, so it was amended to "out night." While we're both still straight, we did have a good time...we ate at BJ's Pizza House and she had mac 'n cheese (of all things galling)! We then went shopping for some warmer clothes. We found several pairs of warms pants...a pair of jeans with a fleece lining even; I'd fall asleep if I had something that comfy. We then went to the bookstore where, from the parking lot, Claire could see the display of Jon Stewart's new "textbook" America. She shouted out: "I love Jon Stewart's new book!" Thank god I was wearing Depends. Have we taken this indoctrination a little too far?

D-d-d-d-d-d-Dora!!

For those of you with small children, you will recognize "Dora", even with the papier mache hair and homemade map.




For those of you without small children: Nothing to see here, move along.
