14 inches of snow in one day!

The day before these pictures were taken it was 50 degrees and the sun was shinning beautifully! We were sure that winter was over and spring was on its way. Then the weather threw us a curve ball. It snowed 7 inches in one night and through the rest of the day we got 7 more inches! James and I took advantage of the snow and went to a park near our house and played find the frisbee in the snow. We would throw the frizbee, it would land so deep in the snow that we couldn't see it and we would race madly to see who could find it first.

Where have all the good movies gone.

Snuggie vs. Slanket

I have just stumbled upon the biggest treachery of all. Here i was thinking that the all-american snuggie was original, yet now in this dreary reality i find that, in fact, it is the elaborate rip-off of a poor college kid's dream. The snuggie appears to be patterned after the hipper Slanket. Even though the snuggie apparently is geared towards feeble elderly, whereas the slanket is pointed at the lazy youth of today, I find it appalling that a large corporation that makes the snuggie (who also made "Bendaroos (Amazing Flexible Building Sticks!); Aqua Globes (Never Worry About Leaving Plants Unattended Again!); and Topsy Turvy (Unique Upside-down Tomato Tree!)." Would take this idea and sell it as their own. However there obvious and revolting treachery is not for me to decide, but rather for you, what do you think?

Holy Bat-Logic

Mindy and I watched Batman: The Movie, mad sometime around 1967. While enjoying this technological marvel of old movie magic, we discovered that Batman and Robin had a stunning intellect. Not only can they solve riddles no other man could have solved, they also know how to read way too far into something to get out that crucial piece of information that would have been missed by any lesser mind. Some examples of this amazing ability are:
Q. What weighs 6 ounces, sits in a tree, and is very dangerous.
A. A sparrow with a machine gun. - robin guessed this one, and he was right on the money.

Discussing who could possibly be the criminals they needed to catch after being attacked by an exploding shark after a yacht disappeared, robin again came up with this gem of pure logical thinking: "We were attacked at sea, see? C as in Catwoman!" I don't even think star trek's Mr. Spock could have come to the same conclusion.

After figuring out that The Penguin, Cat woman, The Joker, and the Riddler are all out to conquer the world, Commissioner Gordon, another wise man with whom the dynamic duo keep company states this: "Some of the Angles of the rectangle is too monstrous to contemplate."

Though I must say that it amazes me that even Batman and Robin avoid the elaborate schemes that those master criminals cooked up. Such as Penguin's scheme to "Perhaps i could lure him (Batman) into the fatal embrace of a giant exploding octopus."

Also later, another riddle that Robin solves.
Q: What has yellow skin and writes?
A: A ball point banana!

And last, some of Batman's stupendous wisdom in this wise proverb, "Some days you just can't get rid of a bomb."

The only thing that I don't understand, is that with their obviously high I.Q.s, why would they feel the need to label everything they own, and use. Also why does everything have to be named with a "BAT-" somewhere in the title, like "Bat-ladder," or "Shark Repellent Bat-spray." Maybe know who's property is who's, or something else that a feeble mind like mine could never understand. We might never know.

Maybe the best movie ever

"Fortuosity" is the only term to describe our recent movie viewing pleasure. Mindy and I were blessed to have stumbled on one of the best movies ever. It is called, The Happiest Millionaire. It was a truly wonderful story of a rich man, who loves boxing, alligators, and the USA. His daughter goes off and gets engaged and bedlam ensues. Even after the full three hours length we still wanted more. If any who read this, have the chance to find this wonderful movie, I would advise them to do so. For those who don't like musicals, this song may not be for them, for all the rest of the cool people, you'll enjoy it, as we have. Some memorable quotes from the movie include.

John Lawless: Now there's a gorgeous sight! Are you getting ready for a party, Mrs. Worth?
Mrs. Worth: [seriously] No, Mr. Biddle's on a chocolate cake diet.
John Lawless: I beg your pardon?
Mrs. Worth: He says it's the perfect food, containing "every essential element."

Angie Duke: Cordy, you and I are going to elope!
Mrs. Duke: Over my dead body!
Angie Duke: Only if absolutely necessary, Mother.

John Lawless: it never rains but it pours, to lose your only daughter and your pet alligators all on the same black night.

The Red-Box Effect

Dig this. Mindy and I, living in the frigid north, bored. We can't play outside very often because of this equation: Go Outside + Logan + Winter = Death. I don't know all that math, but from personal experiences, i've come to accept this as true. On top of that it's only possible to play two player games for so long. Except for the weekend, we really don't hang with nobody. And, the kicker, we have watched every movie we own, more than twice. So, welcome to the RED-BOX EFFECT. when going to a red box, really the choice is between the two or three movies that you have heard about that you really wanted to see, or a bunch of random knockoffs or grade C- movies, that could yield something "tasty," or "unappetizing." If you are lucky, you will be smart enough not to delve into seeing movies from the latter selection. Mindy and I, have not been so lucky. Amid seeing such fun movies as Wall-E and Kung Fu Panda (both of which we saw in the theaters), we forced ourselves to endure such films as IGOR, and City of Ember, not to mention The Seeker. What i'm trying to say that the RED-BOX Effect states, if you want to watch a good movie from redbox, only pick a good movie you've already seen, at the very least have heard of it. because, "The Red Box Lottery" only pays out pocket lint, and used kitty litter. Plus, last thought, who runs the Red Box operation. I submit, it might be the devil, he lures us in with convenient and cheap movies, with the hope of a good one, only to dash our hopes.
