If You Could Look Inside My Head...

For a brief period in the late '70's and early '80's, Peter Parker's spider-sense warned him of danger not via a tingling sensation in his head, but through a series of small, yet explosive, gaseous discharges. Like the organic web-spinner glands in his forearms intoduced to the comic many years later, it was an idea with few admirers.

The Last Thing You See Is The Ring... And The Tongue

"I swear... if that damn Tad doesn't stop calling me I'm having his number blocked! Am I the guy's only friend or what? The only friend who'll put up with all that pretentious "Me llamo-" crap, that's who I am! What's with the Spanish accent Tad? You're from Iowa! Oh, man this is taking- "

"- what the? Oh, hey ! I didn't see you there! I was just eating my cell phone. I tell you, the plastic cases they got on these suckers nowadays ain't easy to crack when you got just one tooth working for you!"

"What? You too? What is it with that guy? Every five minutes - 'Briiing Briiing' Why who could that be? Oh, big surprise! It's Tad! Yeah, Tad... I got caller ID no need to introduce yourself every frickin..... hey.... what's that you got there? Is that a... it is! It's a Kodak EasyShare DX4530! Man, I've read some excellent reviews on that thing! You like it? Yeah, it work good for you? Cool, cool...........

"Dude, come on! Just let me take a look at your camera!"

"I've been thinking about getting one of these cameras for myself. I just want to get a feel for what it's like in my hands!"

"I just want to take a look at your camera! Just give me the camera- dude, gimme the-"

"I'm not gonna eat it! I'm not- ! I'm.... not.... gonna... grrrrrrr.... just..... let..... go.... of....."

"PUT THE CAMERA IN MY MOUTH AND NOBODY GETS HURT!!!!!!"

Mystic Garden

Two thoughts occur to me about this post-

Thought #1: this is probably way more pictures of the 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea board game than anybody would ever care to look at, but the game just had so many cool graphics and brightly-colored pieces of plastic that I couldn't stop taking pictures.

Thought #2: It's time to get some Roundup for the driveway.

Color Me Goofy

Hey, that's my name...

Hey, that's my name again! It's like somebody is trying to communicate with me across the decades.

Freaky puppy.

One time, some friends and me were at an amusement park and between us we laid down a couple hundred dollars on this game where you had to shoot Nerf balls at a stack of milk bottles and try to knock them over and we never could knock them all over, but we were just b. s.'ing and having a good time and the girl that was running the game couldn't believe that we weren't getting upset and yelling at her because we weren't winning and I realized what a crap job it must be to stand there all day and get yelled at by a bunch of dumbf***s because they didn't win a stuffed Tweety Bird.
