Fun Funny Monday

Peter is hosting this week and the mission was as follows:

I want you to tell us your favorite joke and/or show us
your favorite cartoon, don’t worry if there is some
duplication that just means more than one person
found it funny.
So come on and regale us with your best joke and/or
cartoon, remember its New Years Eve and we feel
like a good laugh, before 2008 comes along and does its thing on us.

As I stop to think about all of the funny shit I have shared with my students over the past 18 months, there is one video that has been watched more than any other. I would have to say that this is one of the most funny things I have ever watched! "I know"....




This video has been a favorite for quite some time. I know that the task at hand was to tell a joke but, this guy is way more funny than anything I could say!!!

Well, now that you have my entry, go back to Peter's site and check the rest!!

Who would've thunk it!!???

So about a week ago I have one of my random moments and ask if anyone has an XBOX 360 or PS3 that they didn't want. Well imagine my surprise when one person pipes up and says, "yeah, I have one that's broken, if you can fix it it's your's". Well about 2 days and 2 hours of research and work later, I think I had fixed it. I have been "testing" it daily since and thus far no issues. Of course I am testing it because how shitty would it be to have it out for the kids to play their new 360 games from my parents only to have the thing not work!!!???

I started my "vacation" yesterday. Had all these grand plans to clean, and didn't do any of it. Maybe today I will start on it. Then again, maybe I won't.

Fun Monday Holiday Decor 101

This Fun Monday is hosted by Kaytabug This is what the assignment was:

In the spirit of the season I would like to see your favorite Christmas tree ornament. Not to be confused with the WHOLE tree. I want you to zoom in and show me one or a few(you know I can't choose just one!) of your favorite ornaments. If you don't decorate a tree, show me your menorah or dreidel, Kinara, or Yule Log. I want to see your favorite decoration for this holiday season.

I am sure that many of your families were like mine and at some point developed the tradition of giving similar items each holiday season to make up for whatever traditions they decided not to carry on. I know that seems like a harsh way to look at it, but I am a realist and I love psychology, sometimes it is necessary to look at things from a different perspective to see them for what they actually are! I digress...(Sorry Hun...)

Anyway, I have selected some of my faves. Kaytabug took pics of them last night for me, but to her suprise I added my own!!! HA HA HA, i mean Ho Ho Ho!! The weather turned shitty overnight so I got the great phone call halfway in to work telling me not to show up until 0800!! So here I sit at 0615 posting my Fun Monday. ENJOY and Happy Holidays ALL!!!!

I have always loved the muppets. (no that is not the year I was born either...)

This is a toy that I may never actually get. Maybe someday.... (hint hint Kaytabug!!)



The great thing about this ornament is that it talks!!! Every time we turn the lights on we get to hear the Emperor say:

"As you can see my young apprentice, your friends have failed.
Now witness the firepower of this fully armed and operational battle station!
Fire at will, Commander!"
It's really fun to watch the dogs cock their heads wondering, "why the fuck is that tree calling me its' apprentice?!"

Any guesses on what my favorite movies might be? Damn you for saying Star Trek!!!!!

Well, I hope this was as entertaining for you as it was for me...

Back and ready for more!!!

Well, judging by how many hits I have had on my blog since I last posted, I might start thinking that more people read my blog when I don't write!!! Anyway, the class has been busy, and we just got back from the field. I took my boss' job right before Thanksgiving. I have been trying to get caught up on all the shit that he decided not to do!!!! I apologize, wait no I don't, I never said that there would be regular posts! But anyway, thanks for coming back to read again!!
