I posted this last year, but it’s so good it needs reposted.
Best. Moment. Ever.

C’mon, do it. It’ll be fun.

I love random questions. I think it’s a great way to get to know someone, as well as having a window into their soul. OK, maybe not that profoud, but sometimes it’s nice to know what your friend’s favorite breakfast cereal is.
Anyway, I found this fun new service – thought we’d try it out. There will be a permanent sticky on the navigation bar, but I also thought I’d highlight it here to explain it’s arrival.
Go on. Ask me anything. I’m like a human Magic 8 Ball. Except without the cloudy water.

The Invasion has begun!!!
Brent | November 24, 2009
I’ll occasionally give ya a glimpse into my closet, highlighting a Shirt of the Day. In doing so, I’ll usually reference where I acquired said shirt. Today is a little different. I’ll tell you about the site, but no specific T. This is because the site is brand-spanking NEW!
TeeInvaders is a site that just descended upon us yesterday, and is definitely one to watch. TeeInvaders will put up a new design every 24 hours, print it on a super-soft blank, and sell it to you for a great price of $9.
Their mission statement reads:
TeeInvaders is a community of awesome artist and t-shirt lovers with one goal in mind, “To rule the universe”.
At least they set their goals high!
TeeInvaders is run and curated by Tom Vidal, an all-around great guy, and truly deserves this to be a raging success. If you’re into great designs and unique, one-of-a-kind shirts, check this site out often!

BAM! said the lady…
Brent | November 2, 2009
so my daughter was playing with her friend yesterday. They had this game where one would swing, while the other would roll one of those big exercise balls. If it was timed just right, the person would come down from their swinging at the same time the ball would get to them, creating a perfect kick of the huge bouncy ball.
Sometimes it doesn’t go as planned. Fortunately, Casey was recording.
And of course she had to do some fun edits and put it on her youtube channel….

and…BAM! said the lady

Fall Back
Brent | November 1, 2009
For anyone reading this (and, by the way…does anybody READ this???), today is November 1st. Early early this morning, at 2:00am (0200 hours), we “fell back” and reverted back to Standard Time. Which is to say, we put the Sun back where it belongs. ( thanks, Mitch )
So if you’ve forgotten to change your clocks BACK ONE HOUR, your Sunday pilgrimage to McDonalds for that yummy McSkillet Burrito will be early. Even if your tummy is saying it’s time to eat, it’s wrong. You’ll also be getting to church 60 minutes earlier than everyone else. At least you’ll get a good parking place.
So don’t forget to change all of your clocks and watches BACK ONE HOUR. If you’re confused, just go to The Official Clock of The United States.
And in recognition of this oddity of modern humanity, I turn to the wise old sage Grandpa Jones:
what NOT to do…
Brent | October 24, 2009
we’re going to take a quick break from the Halloween / Fall series of posts. I just have to share this video with ya.
I don’t know much about horses. But even I know you don’t do dumb crap like this guy. I bet he won’t do this again…

Toilet Papering Critique
Brent | September 20, 2009
I got toilet papered last night.
I wake up really early, so it was still completely dark as I surveyed the scene. There is rain coming, which will make the cleanup a whole, soggy mess. The wind from the front coming in made the toilet paper sway in the trees, ghostly images dancing and slithering in mid-air.

Whoever was the toilet paperer (and there’s never just one) did a decent job. Very thorough. You can see they wrapped the bushes very nicely, and even made designs in the yard.

And even more clever, they scanned and printed full-page pictures of me from my senior pictures. I had forgotten these existed!
what a fresh-faced cutie!
The stealthy perpetrators also exchanged our Football yard sign for a Cross Country sign, wrapped our cars with more toilet paper, pasted more of the same pictures on our cars, and wrote little messages on our car windows.
However….
a little advice:
Make sure you spell the simple words correctly. It’s embarrassing.
