When life gives you snow, make Snowasaurus

I didn't do this of course but I'm proud to say that our Westville neighbor did. We didn't want to ruin the shot w/ a human presence but he's about 6 foot tall at the top of his spine and is taking up a good chunk of a piece of land formerly known as a front lawn. Julie took me on a walk to see him in the middle of the night last week and it was well worth it.

Kay's erractic portrayal of men wreaking havoc with our collective psyche

We went from the Boston strangler in ad 1 to this next guy. Not only is he tolerant of his mate's deafness but is learning sign language (yet cloyingly humble about his impressive progress...you know she's put off by that...there's a subtle 'what's so hard about being deaf?' in his voice) and shelling out serious cash for jewelry. Where does this clown leave the rest of us?

I don't want to bias you

This is the Rorschach test of ads.

What happens next in this commercial?

Snowmaggedon turning to wintrymixmaggedon

seriously wtf? The wife and I were shoveling the roof tonight. that's not normal. But in our world, apparently it's more than normal, it's the prudent thing to do. Because ice on top of 2 feet of snow could break the roof. I don't know if that's true but there's something therapeutic about getting on the roof and shoveling... so desperate and irrational. It's like panic grocery shopping. Sure, I pass 38 places to purchase food between here and Waterbury and could walk to at least a half a dozen of those *and* I could make 27 lbs of beans and rice just with what I have in the house, but why not go in before the storm and start pushing people in line and being irritable with everyone if I have the chance?

Enigmatic Bears season

That NFC Championship game was a fitting end to a strange season. The Bears came in to the season picked by most to finish third (out of 4) in the NFC Central. At 6-3 they were ranked 17th (out of 32) in the espn power rankings. They went 5-2 down the stretch, won the Central, got the second seed and still didn't inspire fear in anyone, including the truly mediocre Seahawks. And then, after 2 impressive Packer drives, they stymied Aaron Rodgers and almost forced OT in the championship game with their 3rd string QB at the helm. A loss that seemed inevitable with 5 mins to go in the first qtr ended up pulse-pounding by the end.

Anyway: Steelers 27, GB 24 in OT.

kudo

use 'kudo' when someone does just one that thing isn't all that impressive and not worthy of full 'kudos.' example:

doug: hey man, I washed my car without scratching it
steve: well kudo to you Doug

O and other NHPS pupils got a *second* day off from school today ostensibly because the mounds of snow everywhere would make safe travel to school difficult. Yet O somehow found his way to the top of the Empire State Building, among other Manhattan locales. This guy has it figured out.
