Ehhh.....

Things suck. The country's gone to shit, it's too damn hot, the Brewers are fucking hopeless....is there anything good that can happen to me in this insane time?

A little. My older sister is tying the knot in a matter of days. I'm going to be an aunt for the fifth time in September. My little godson turns one next month. My oldest nephew starts high school. Turd Boy has a job that will help him put his engineering degree to good use.

As for me? Well, I've gone nuts buying various DVDs of me likeys. I got the entire Monty Python's Flying Circus and a whole asston of TV shows. The run of South Park that aired in the spring was all sorts of fucking awesome. The Jonas Bros. episode, with its depiction of Mickey Mouse, was probably the funniest damn thing I've seen in years....bay-bay!

I got into NCIS on a more regular basis thanks to USA reruns, and being quite bored with American Idol for the first time. Quite possibly the best ensemble cast on TV, especially now that half the CSI cast is gone. Lawrence Fishburne's OK, but everytime I see him on TV all I can think of is Cowboy Curtis.

And Hell's Kitchen still owns. And Top Gear is still the most manly awesome show......IN THE WORLD!! And I can't wait for the big changeover between Doctors Ten and Eleven later this year. And there's more South Park to be had in the fall. Yay!

I see they're showing one of the Connery Bond films now, so I'll sign off. I might pop by later with some more stuff.

I'm Not Dead!

Hello, children...do you remember me?

God, have I let this blog sit here and collect dust or what? A casualty of real life, I suppose. So much stuff has gone on that I just didn't have time to put random bits and bobs of useless crap until I forgot about this blog entirely.

Hopefully for the next few days or so I can update this with more random bits and bobs of useless crap. Training camps have started, which means the inevitable Toilet Bowl will be revived. I think we're going to have a repeat champion in those hapless Lions.

So, anyways, sorry about not posting. See all of you later.

I'm Not Dead Yet!!

Here I is, still posting. I guess I need to do this more since I don't have a clue who's spying on this blog and reporting to the "secret police."

Yeah, Christmas was good. Somehow was able to stay up long enough to see 2008 end and the beginning of the end begin. Yeah, that made a lot of sense.

I've been a bit busy again. Work, catechism, helping babysit...and to let you in on a little secret, Mr. Stork may be on his way again for one of my sibs this year.

Err, looks like an interesting Super Bowl. I don't know who to root for, though. Was utterly shocked when Denver canned Shanny after the season. I'm not sure if this McDaniels dude will be all that great, even if he was the Patriots' offensive coordinator. Look at Charlie Weis...he was a Patriots offensive coordinator, and look how far that's gotten Notre Dame. Oh well, could be worse...look at the Lions.

Other than that, I haven't much more to say. I'll have to shake off the rust and update this lil' blog more frequently. More YouTube searchery, perhaps.

So until that time, take it easy and keep warm if you're freezing your ass.

Here's Your BlanketyBlog Christmas Card!

Sorry for the lack of updates. Turned 26 on December 9th, and spent several days celebrating the transition of one family member. He's no longer referred to as Turd Boy...He's now Turd Boy, College Graduate. Ah, I still call him Turd Boy for short.

And did I mention the stork paid a visit in September? Little guy will be three months on Christmas Eve.

There's no song list this year, as there really haven't been any new songs I've taken a fancy to, other than "Fairytale of New York," available on YouTube. Bless the Irish.

So here's a special Christmas Card for you...THE "BLOWING SHIT UP" CHRISTMAS SPECIAL!!


Richard Hammond gets into the holiday spirit by seeing what you can do if Santa gets stuck in your chimmeny...




And because he can, he decides to find out what happens if you stick your Christmas lights in a microwave. Yay!




All right, not an explosion of the "boom!" kind but you may need to use the can after this...apparently Hamster must be a South Park fan.




Finally, Christmas Works Bombs!




OK...that should suffice. See ya after Christmas!

An Ode to the NFC North

Heh, heh. I live in Wisconsin, so I'll spare the Packers. Here's some YouTubey salutes to the Packers' divisional rivals.

First off, those Purple People Pussies, the Minnesota Vikings:




And of course, those assholes from Illinois!




And then, there's that sad excuse for a team called the Lions. They make Hitler cry...

Some Humor in these Dark Times

The country's voted itself into Hell....you can kind of guess by that descripive blurb by that picture that I wasn't one of them.


So before my fat ass gets shipped off to a re-education camp, here's some funny book covers...
