Dieting

Another name for the Gluten Diet is the Caveman Diet.  This is when you eat only the stuff cavemen and women would have eaten.  The down side is that our local food Super store does not care Wooly Mammoth Mastodon on a stick or Pterodactyl steaks or other forms of prehistoric foods. 
Just kidding Dan, actually I am sure eating gluten free foods is good for you....but for me I will stick with a little gluten in my diet, even if it means losing the few pounds I am trying to lose is a little harder to do. 
My son says that this diet makes him feel less achy, has fewer head aches and his mood is more perky. 
Okay folks if we can land a man on the moon why can't someone find a way to take gluten out of donuts and other forms of pasty. 
Guilt free Danish pasty, French Toast, and American hot dogs....What a concept.

Bus stop on the Evolutionary bus route.

Evolution never stops....One day those big old bears are digging through your trash cans for food and the next they are moving in to the house next door to you.  Of course your former neighbors may have been real monsters so maybe just maybe having a family of Grizzly bears living next door would be a step upward in the evolutionary chain.  I wonder how the Home Owner's Association would react to the new neighbors?

Here is to everyone's Mom.

 * A mother may hope that her daughter will get a better husband than she did,
but she knows her son will never get as good a wife as his father did.

* Proud father to mother as they watched their small son lying on the floor
studying by the light from the TV screen. "Reminds you of Abe Lincoln, doesn't
it?"

* Any child can tell you that the sole purpose of a middle name is so he can
tell when he's really in trouble.

* Garbage is a collection of refuse items, the taking out of which Mom assigns
to a different family member each week, then winds up doing herself.

* Last year I got my wife a mother's day gift that left her speechless. In fact,
she didn't speak to me for three weeks. 

Mom No. 1: How do you get your sleepy-head son up in the morning?
Mom No. 2: I just put the cat on the bed.
Mom No. 1: How does that help?
Mom No. 2: The dog’s already there.

I hear voices and they are taunting me!

In every fun type personal project in life that we do as a hobby, self expression or sport, there is always going to be those who can spend more than you do. 
About twenty years ago I got into distance racing, it was more than a passion it was a religion of sorts.  The feeling of the endorphins being released into the body after running non-stop for an hour was pure unadulterated freedom.  The feeling of seeing how many miles you had covered with your own body and mind was a feeling you will never get doing anything else.   
One thing I noticed every time I would enter one of those long distance races was that quite a few people, it seemed,had really deep pockets when it came to spending money on the simple act of running.
No matter what activity you get into: fishing, car racing, collecting art, rock climbing, sky diving or even bowling, other people will out-spend you for the equipment they are using.  $50.00 for a fishing fly when you could make the same thing for $1.50? $500.00 for a pair of running shoes?
What really sucks is when some kid spends the $1.50 for a K-Mart special and catches a bigger fish than you  do
As you go through life always be mindful that no matter how much you can afford for your personal equipment, there are always going to be others who can and will spend more than you do.

The Suit is dead long live business Casual..?

Does anyone remember "Dress Down Friday"?   I was working in a large national Corporation where all males had to wear a suit and tie to work every day.   http://www.time.com/time/world/article/0,8599,2050911,00.html
Around about 1999-2000 someone got the idea that you could get employees to pay a buck ($1.00) to some charity to be able to come to work with out a tie.  From there on, the company I was working for, noticed that the amount of crap the employees pumped out each Friday was no different from before Casual Friday, so they said let them wear blue jeans and a polo shirt.  No change in production of paper work crap so finally it was decided that the company would go dress optional.  May it be noted I never once wore a dress to work.
The funny thing was that when the Board of Directors came for their meetings we had to revert to business casual (No blue jeans or T-shirts) even though the big wigs never saw any of us we still had to pretend that we were working in New York City.  Makes me wonder if office workers in New York still wear coat and ties and dresses to work.  I suppose it depends on the work place.  Anyway happy dress down Friday.
May it also be noted that for me everyday is casual Friday but since everyday for me is like your Saturday....the joy of being able to let my hair down and be comfy in my work place is long gone.
hard for lots of young kids out there to comprehend that it has only been about 13 to 14 years since the hated tie was given a burial...14 years ago we would have been sent home from work if we showed up wearing a sweater on a cold day with no collared shirt and acceptable tie under the sweater.  No fish ties were allowed or any of the other fun ties.  Are people more productive these days?   Maybe.  But one side effect I think of getting all casual in the office work space is how far employees will push the envelope and end up getting dress codes in place for what is acceptable for work place attire.

Nasty little kids

My wife is a 3rd grade teacher and yesterday she took her class on a field trip to the Colorado History Museum.  This is probably where the idea came from but who can tell where the ideas for gags or plot lines come from?  
Aren't we happy that in reality little kids do not talk like they do on the TV show South Park?
Cartman: You so much as TOUCH kitty's ass, and I'll put a firecracker in your nutsack and blow your balls all over your pants.
Stan: Jesus, Cartman.
Cartman: Well, I'm just sayn', man, seriously, don't mess with kitty, man. 

Just Google it.

 Funny how some inspiration hits you in the old noggin.  Below are two separate cartoons I originally did for today and tomorrow.  My wife looked at them and said, "Too bad you didn't combine them."

                                                                                                                                                   

 

So I combined them together. 

But first I had to create some "New " characters that you may recognize from some movie made a long time ago.
