HARRRRRR!!

HARRRR - It's international  talk like a pirate day and as Cap'n Slappy says:

Thar be only three pirate jokes in the world. The biggest one is the one that ends with someone usin' "Arrr" in the punchline. Oh, sure, thar be plenty o' these, but they're all the same damn joke.

"What's the pirate movie rated? - Arrr!"
"What kind o' socks does a pirate wear? - Arrrrgyle!"
"What's the problem with the way a pirate speaks? - Arrrrticulation!"

The second joke is the one wear the pirate walks into the bar with a ships wheel attached to the front o' his trousers. The bartender asks, "What the hell is that ships wheel for?" The pirate says, "I don't know, but it's drivin' me nuts!"  ARRRRRRR! 


And finally. A little boy is trick or treatin' on Halloween by himself. He is dressed as a pirate. At one house, a friendly man asks him, "Where are your buccaneers?" The little boy responds, "On either side o' me 'buccan' head!"   ARRRRRRR!!

Then thar be Micheal Vick! He got slapped last night in the noggon and he be out with a concussion! Oddly no one is really sad about this.

Sad are the Packer Corner backs by giving up 800 yards this year so far. No worries - it's early.BUT - this is an extreme year for the NFL - look at Brady who is putting up video game numbers!

The weather was good for  half the weekend and Saturday we went on the Down Syndrome walk.  Here is a shot of Caydence being herself.  She had a great time even though she is getting over a cold.

A funny thing happened to Josh.  He applied for Channel 15's Biggest Loser contest and got in (even though he is not 700 pounds or anything)

WELL - as told by him they are at the initial weight-in and get to meet their personal trainers.  The first 4 contestants meet their trainers and they are buff guys that shake hands and ask normal questions.  Then it's time for Josh's trainer.

Out steps this HUGE RIPPED WILD EYED AMAZON WOMAN.  She looks him in the eye and says  YOU, ME, WE ARE GOING TO WIN THIS THING, I'M GOING TO MAKE YOU HURT AND WHEN WE'RE DONE WORKING OUT TWO HOURS A DAY I'M GOING TO TAKE YOU GROCERY SHOPPING AND IF YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO COOK THE FOOD I TELL YOU TO EAT I'LL TEACH YOU!

all said in a somewhat intimidating scary way.

Let's just say something about his work outs - his REST period, is running on a treadmill (seriously).

And BTW - I guess there is no food pyramid anymore?   It's not a "Food Plate".  this is the new "Food Pyramid".    

Notice there is no spoon or knife and I can not find where the cake would go.

Nice amount of rain yesterday and this morning.  Columbus received 0.51 inches of good soaking rain.  In another weird thing - we are at 59 degrees for 18 straight hours.

But here is so real news - the first prediction for snowfall has arrived.  We are heading into the 2nd straight year of La Niña and the NOAA prediction, based on previous results from back to back La Niña's, is that we will have below average snow fall.

Here are the last six winters.

2005 - 47.9 inches
2006 - 55.1
2007 - 101.4
2008 - 72.0
2009 - 51.6
2010 - 73.1
2011 - 43.8
Average - 50.9

I was in Milwaukee with Karl and Jody last Thursday and took a bunch of photos,  here is one of a lion in front of the Bradley Foundation house.

also a statue shot which I loved because of what was behind it.

We all know who this is right?

And finally a Milwaukee street scene. 

In my pools I have two pools where "in the long run" it would be nice for the Giants to lose tonight - but in one pool I need the Giants to win so I can win the week.  

Have a great day!
