Prez needs a Vernon Jordan

Maybe it's living with all those females? Obama's had a rough few weeks with the machismo factor. Wearing the Sox jacket and jeans out to the mound for the ceremonial first pitch at the All-Star game was manly but then he floated that eephus in there making it look like he was using the wrong arm. Then, his machismo rating went up with his knee-jerk, absurd comments following the Henry Louis Gates arrest but then he apologized! rather than entrenching himself into his opinion and yelling louder. THEN he agreed to a sit-down over a beer with the interested parties but ordered a Bud light. C'mon Obama, this isn't pledge week at the Delta Gamma house! Would 40 extra calories really kill your 3% body fat??

Late night partying in Camden

Things were so nuts at the They Might Be Giants concert that O took his shirt off. He was twirling it around over his head 'Saturday Night Fever' style to the indifference of some young ladies he was trying to impress. We may have to work on the subtlety factor.

Boyz Weekend

What do we do when Mom's away? Carb load, mostly.

It's just the camera angle that makes it look like there's more than 1/5 of those chocolate chip pancakes left (and that the salt shaker is bigger than O's head).

Writer's block

Jack and Sam think the laptop is the best invention ever. It still leaves some lap left over and it has a little fan on it.

Is it Friday night and am I taking pictures of my cats and blogging about them? yes and yes

How'd they do that? Part I

Jason has a skunk living under his house. The first animal control guy who was quite possibly drunk, suggested Jason buy a cage, bait it with cat food, trap the skunk and then club it or shoot it dead. At no point in this exchange did this guy offer his services, which seems to defeat the purpose of putting your name in the phone book under 'animal control.' (Perhaps there should be an 'animal control advice' section).

The second guy offered a less aggressive approach: put stakes doused in coyote urine under the house. And OF COURSE, AgWay (of Hamden!) sells coyote urine. So, question #1 : how did the harvesters of coyote urine do it? Not that I can't think of any possible way to do it but how to do it in a fashion that would be time/cost efficient. Thirteen bucks for 8 oz of concentrated coyote urine! And yes, it's possible Jason bought 8 oz of mineral oil dyed dark amber.

Question #2 -- without looking, what was the name of Pepe LePew's love interest?

Name my blog

I can't really be PhillyWill anymore. But maybe I'll keep the web address the same.
