Sensation!

Apparently those who visit the blog need something a little more sensational in the way of posts before they will leave comments. Don't you realize that comments on blog posts are one of the easiest ways to validate friendship and prove that you care?

Don't you?

So here is a series of sensational pictures with my thoughts, and later Emily will add her thoughts as well and label them with green font:

This is the Sensationa-bull. Look at those harns! I bet he shops at H&M for slippers. What a sensation, Bulls in slippers!

I met this bull in Austria. He won't eat yellow flowers because he's afraid of poison. Also he can tango.

This is the Sensationalawnpony. Him's bum is white? Perhaps he played the thief and the baker beat his boney bottom. Nobody likes a pouter, pewter pony.

This Black Beauty-inspired lawn sculpture scares children and steals their hard-earned Halloween candy. What a bully.

These are the Sensational Williams Brothers. Remember the Boxcar chitlin? Well when these fellows moved into the car on the opposite track there was a knife fight, guess who lost? Yeah, the children did. They were only kids after all.

What Ryan didn't tell you is that after the Williams Brothers triumphed in a knife-fight blaze of glory, they sucked out the Boxcar Childrens' essence. Though they sacrificed their souls, they are now immortal and living in Budapest.

This is the Sensational Covergirl (that's what it said on their website). Check them spangles out! Ned and Larry flash their pearly whites and Suzy-Grey strikes a Peter-Pan Pose. RODEO of LOVE!

Ah, yes, the Rodeo of Love! This is where we met, right Ryan? From the moment he noticed me, loping around on my dappled Jeanette, silver chaps glistening in the stadium lights, Ryan couldn't get me out of his mind.

This is the Sensational Hacksaw Jimmy Duggan. Legend says that two-buh-fer was actually Abraham Lincoln's wooden leg. Jimmy found it in the cupboard of a cabin in the Everglades. Also it sings camp songs.

I know Jimmy Duggan. He's an excellent ballroom dancer. you should see him tanzen the polka! Also he speaks fluent German.

These are the Sensational Six. Apparently they're time travellers (once again their words not mine). Emily, got anything to say?

I met the Sensational Six on a time travel journey to 1942. They were doing a bank job, petticoats and all. I shot the sheriff and we bonded over glasses of mauled cider and cornbread cakes.

This is just..."What? You love these slappy-drums too!" "Yargle! The Sun is rising with my toast!"

Mmm...toast.

Spring Break!

I'm up visiting Utah for a few days during ASU's Spring Break. The drive was undesirable, lots of snow starting from the pass on the 20 all the way to Nephi...













Nevertheless I arrived safely and spent the last few days at Robert and Lynda Stratford's house. The Stratford's are awesome. Lynda is an amazing cook, Emily and I could stare at Simon all day long and Robert is better than us (well me at least) at every single game in existence. Somehow I managed to win Colloseum today, and I didn't cheat no matter what anyone says. Yes, I held may have accidentally held on to 15 crowns of the realm for a turn but I say may because I'm not really sure if I did or not. Regardless, I had enough money and promptly rendered unto Ceasar what was Ceasar's.






I typed "E tu Brute" into Google's search window and this is what I got.






Emily's been feeling a little under the weather these last few days, after the ice skating incident, and we'll probably spend the next few days on the couch recooperating whilst watching movies and making up new words like bottlecopter.
