« Weekend part deux ... | Main | Shame ... »

Over the top? Or just me?

So I'm driving to my mom's house today to drop off a batch of guacamole I made her for her Pampered Chef party tonight and flip on the radio. My regular station is kind of hard to get on post so I'm pleasantly surprised to hear the announcer coming in loud and clear. Suddenly they give the call letters and I realize that it ISN'T my normal station but something that's just bleeding through because of atmospheric conditions.
So as I'm contemplating whether or not this disappointment is worthy of hari kari, a loud "FUCK ME!", or possible a strongly worded letter to management, a commercial comes on that I just don't know how to feel about. Half of me wants to bust a gut laughing and the other wants to frown, get that fatherly "knitted eyebrow" look and shake my finger vigorously while uttering a harsh "TSK,TSK!" You tell me how you feel.

Her: George are you speeding again? You're gonna get caught and we can't afford another ticket.
Him: Don't worry honey, I've got the new Speed-o-matic 3000* and our car is totally invisible to all forms of police radar detection devices. AND it's guaranteed. If we do get a ticket, the Speed-o-matic Company* will PAY it!
Her: Well in that case, step on it. If we don't hurry we're gonna be late!
* Name of company changed because I was laughing my ass off and can't remember who it was.

I swear to God, I had to check twice to make sure I wasn't listening to the best of Saturday Night Live or something! I ain't making this shit up, I promise!

Next, we were driving around this weekend. Ryan took the camera and was playing around a bit. I stopped to get gas at this "friendly" little service station owned and operated by my friend Pakistani Phil. He's such a friendly guy, he put up a sign welcoming all customers to his fine establishment. The sign is about 8 feet tall and goes a little something like this:

Don't you feel welcome just looking at it? I thought so ... you thief, you!

This past Saturday, it was a boys day out, we went to CajunFest 2007 on post. Here are a couple of pics. Joshua was flipping the bird, so at his mother's request, I photoshopped it out. Ryan is just ... well, Ryan.

And finally, How'd you like to wake up with this staring you in the face?

This is Jessie, my new puppy that might, just might, have some pit bull blood in her. Is it just me? Or do you suddenly feel like you're a big, juicy steak, too? Yeah, prolly just me. Either way, I'm locking the windows tonight!

Personally, I usually feel like I'm a big, juicy steak. Isn't that normal?

yeah, there's a definite pit bull looking skull structure to the pup. rare or well done?

Oh man. I don't know whether to laugh or frown at that either.

She's adorable!!! I'm so thinking about getting a dog to keep the cats company. Think I'm crazy?

Great pictures! The puppy is adorable, she just wants some love!!! :)

The radio ad... uh... shit I don't know which way to go with it either. I'll laugh since I don't want to feel old!
