My Son, Otis Campbell

At the hospital, while watching Liam (Finn McCool) receive his first bath, I noticed that he looked an awful lot like Otis Campbell, the town drunk from Mayberry:

Ride ‘em Otis!

A Horrible Monster Glared at Them

Mr. Rabbit at Home: A Sequel to Little Mr. Thimblefinger and His Queer Country - O. Herford

A fierce, ogre-like man with spectacles and a book under his arm
clenches his fist at a group of small, frightened children
who are seated on the ground before him.

Bear & Ape Rampage!

Oh great. You killed them. You bastards.
Just because you have your rubber boots, yellow jackets,
hard hats, shields and non-pointy sticks
do you think that gives you the right to kill
a couple of furries 
on a slow motion zoo rampage?

For shame.

Look What I Woke Up To…

…on my arm!

Not the actual bug. The real one got smashed good.

It’s February for goodness sake!

It was about an inch and a quarter long
and looked like it was out for blood!

This is all I need. At least I didn’t scream.

Sabores Clasicos

Park & Tilford candy shop

 Bought the Mrs. some candy conversation hearts today at the Walmart.
75% off! big bag for 62 cents!

She kept asking what does this mean? How about this? That’s when we discovered they were:
Mensaics del Corazo’n!

Tasty and we get to improve our Spanish while we get fat!

Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. Amish, Mennonite and Pennsylvania Dutch children all patronized the candy stand at this farm auction

President’s Day

Probably want to change that 22nd to the 20th

And now for your viewing pleasure…

Oranges for congressional leaders. Washington, D.C., Mar. 7. Today was California orange-day at the Capitol and Congressional Leaders were presented with crates of the Old Gold and Sunkist brand which the native sons claim are the finest oranges grown in the world. The oranges, presented by the Mutual Orange Distributors Association, signaled the coming great oranges show of California which will open on March 16. In the photograph, left to right: Rep. Frank H. Buck of Cal.; Vice President Garner; Rep. Harry R. Shepard of Cal.; and Speaker William B. Bankhead, 3/7/38

Viva! El Dia del los Presidentes!

Uppity versions of a Waffle House. For the less-drunk among us.

Homer, that's not God. That's just a waffle that Bart tossed up there.

Mmm, sacrilicious.

Congrats on #500 Simpsons!
