Tonights Conversations

Jennifer and I were driving home today from Belleville after getting new tires for our car and “Sexy Back” came on the radio, which got us talking about strange music from our times.

Jen posed the question of “what songs do you think our kids will make fun of”… you know, how you make fun of some of the stuff that your parents listened to… well what stuff will our kids make fun of??  My first immediate response was “The Thong Song” but that is just one… there are lots… “Hoes in Different Area Codes” popped into my head to… The Macarena… Blue (by Effile 65) and list goes on and on.

We also started talking about some of the fads…. jeans ripped to shreds with flannel boxers under them… fanny packs…. those pull over jackets that you could fold into a pouch and wear around your waste (like a fanny pack) Pogs….Tomogatchi (they are coming back)…  bleached hair…Zubaz pants…everyone loved overalls…goosebump books (and the TV show a little later)… power rangers (the orignal)

So my quest for you this week is to post the songs you think our kids will make fun of and crazy fads that you remember from the 90′s (mainly the early and mid)  … remember the sunglasses.. huge black frames with fluorescent arms.. the fluorescent cameras you use to be able to get at
McDonalds.

Lets here your memories!!

A Guide to the Nerd

WOW is all I can say about this article. Brandon showed it to me today, and it really hit’s the nail on the head, it was like I was reading a story about myself.

If you are the wife(husband)/girlfriend(boyfriend)/love interest, of a nerd PLEASE READ THIS. It will help you understand everything about your nerd. I’m not kidding, this is “sort of” a good explanation, it is BANG on.

I did not write this, so I cannot take credit for it, even though I’d love to, it came from http://www.randsinrepose.com

The Nerd Handbook

A nerd needs a project because a nerd builds stuff. All the time. Those lulls in the conversation over dinner? That’s the nerd working on his project in his head.

Do I Have A Super (Feline) Cat

Our cat is what we call “A Mouth Breather” his mouth is always opened.  If he’s sleeping, it’s opened, if he’s playing its opened… doesn’t matter what he’s doing, its always opened.  So, this made me wonder why.. so I started doing some searching… heres what I found:

 ”Cat’s a Mouth Breather”
it is because cat’s have an extra organ called a Jacobson’s organ. It can even give them heightened senses.

So there you have it, I guess Oscar has super powers!!!

The Things Guys Do

I firmly believe that every guy at some time during his shaving career tries something very odd. Even though it is the stupidest looking thing in the world, every guy breaks out the trimmer and does, yes, thats right, the hulk hogan handle bar!!! Well today, after a rather annoying day at work (some things just weren’t coming together as planned and now I’m quite stressed) I decided to have some fun to help myself relax…. here it is folks, just for you!!!

My Art

So today I did a bunch of office work and when I got home I decided to have a little fun. I’ve always been fascinated by stop motion video. For those who are unfamiliar with stop motion, think about the show Gumby and Pokey… thats stop motion… its when you make a movie using pictures… it takes a lot of pictures to make a movie…. this particular video is only 12 seconds long, but it took 72 images… not to bad for a first attempt if i can say so myself.
