  • King Roger

    This is for Eileen: Roger Federer as King Arthur. Okay, I don’t even like the guy that much, but that picture? Phwoar.

  • Google Tactics

    Ahh, evidently this is what I should’ve done to get the Google job. Cyber-squatting.

  • Adam Savage

    Sweeeeet! Mythbuster Adam Savage left a Metafilter comment complimenting me on my Halloween costume. My Dad is gonna be SO IMPRESSED.

  • Velcro

    Now there’s a new one. An otherwise normal-looking customer just approached me with a packet of Velcro and asked in all seriousness, “What is this used for?” What do you say to that? Embarrassingly, I stammered something about “shoes” and mimed tearing it apart. “You know, rip!?” I can’t figure out who was the bigger idiot.

  • Happy Halloween!

    Brains with Raspberry SauceI’ve finally managed to get my party photos up, and I’ve included links to all the recipes if any of you are still looking for last-minute ideas. To the right you can see this year’s centerpiece: Panna Cotta Brains in Raspberry Sauce. Disgusting yet delicious! Thanks to everybody who came along, and apologies for not getting more photographs of the costumes. We’ll see you all next year in the new house!

  • It’s a Big World After All

    Disney is shutting down “It’s a Small World” for refurbishments… because modern guests are too fat. Yikes. Me, I’d prefer them to alter all the rides for tall people! (Link courtesy of AskMeFi, where the comments are going just about as well as you might imagine.)

  • Lateralin’!

    As the announcer puts it: “…one of the most miraculous plays in all of college football!” I can’t disagree. Trinity University had two seconds left on the clock and scored a touchdown off a crazy play that included fifteen lateral passes! Looks more like rugby than football to me.

  • Party Pictures

    I was still too pooped yesterday to post my party pictures, but Erin (who looked lovely as Tracy Turnblad!) has posted some of hers. She also kicked my butt at Wii Boxing, which is why I can barely lift my arms today. (Must. Do. More. Weight Training.)

  • Happy Halloween

    Happy Halloween from the Mythbusters

    Me and Snook as Adam and Jamie

    This marks the third year I’ve gone in drag. I’m getting a little tired of having a beard! Next year I’ll have to go as something ultra-girly, I think.

    Anyway, our 5th annual Halloween party was a smashing success. Pics will be up once we’ve finished putting the house back together…
