VBS

While Missy is helping to make snacks for all the kids at VBS this week I have been tasked with helping at recreation. It’s really fun except I have learned some times 20 kindergarteners would rather have a rolling relay then play any games that you have come up with for them to play.

I guess tonight we will see if they like ultimate frisbee.

Simpsons Movie = Worst.Movie.Ever?

So after about two years of waiting I got to see The Simpson's movie tonight with Missy, Eric, Andy and Matt. I'll have to say as a huge fan of The Simpson's I was beyond disappointed in plot. It felt like all the gags were old and reused. It was alot like "Lisa The Tree Hugger" with some new jokes thrown in. I wish the plot would have been something we hadn't seen before. Also what was the deal with Bart getting drunk? Naked skateboarding by a 12 year old funny, drinking to the point of passing out... not so much.

So maybe not the Worst.Movie.Ever but it really felt like a half-hearted attempt from a show that I grew up watching. I think Homer said it best when at the beginning of the Movie he says "What Kind of Jerk Pays For Something They Can See on TV For Free?"

Dont Go To Bufflo Wild Wings in Columbia!

Because they are closed for remodeling. So instead you could just go to the Arbys thats right by it.

P.S. Someone really needs to build an Arbys in Jefferson City.

Turn Yourself Into a Simpsons Character...

To promote the launch of the first full-length Simpsons feature film, Burger King and Fox have created The Simpsonizer. Woo-hoo

Go to simpsonizeme.com, upload a photo of yourself and the application analyzes your face, turning you into an honorary Springfield resident.

Update:

I started with this really bad picture of me:

After messing with the program for a little bit I got this:

Whats Worse Than Having A Summer Cold?

When you and your wife have a summer cold. Missy has been on the couch and then in bed since she got home from work. I don't feel much better and might go to bed pretty soon also.

The good news is if you own stock in Kleenex we have used 3 boxes in the last 2 days.

Tee for Two

Last night Missy and I took advantage of half price golf at Railwood with the coupon from the capital ad sheet. Then today Eric and I went out there and he kicked my butt with his new and improved 250 yard drives. So I have had plenty of golf for this weekend.

After I got home I saw this Tom and Jerry cartoon on Boomerang and thought that it had to go on our blog.

I bet Tom taught Nick how to keep score.

Eric ordered his awesome new Toyota Tundra in April and it finally came in today (Hey Nick, good thing its not a Chevy or it would be broke down in your driveway). It has all the cool toys GPS/XM/Backup Camera and a ton of other features. Overall its one of the coolest trucks on the road today.

How I got an 8525 for $53.

Well my HTC 8125 got smashed today in a Home Run Derby related accident. Knowing that I have insurance on my phone I didn't think it was that big of a deal so Missy and I went down to the AT&T(Cingular) Store in Jefferson City.

Well apparently you are not suppose to be able to get insurance from AT&T on any PDA phones. Except I did have insurance on my 8125 and I paid my $5.95 a month. I got my 8125 from Mid-America Wireless who added it to my account along with insurance for Missy's Razor.

So with a couple of cuss words under there breath and telling me how I was getting a $600
phone for $53 they handed it over. They were so mad they wouldn't even give me the new box, documentation or chagrining cables. Oh well WM6 here I come!

The Post Office

I got a gift certificate for $15 for Amazon.com at the start of June. $15 will not get you much at Amazon.com these days so I ordered a little 100 page book that I thought might be a fun read. Of course it was back ordered and wasn't going to ship for a few days and I had really forgotten all about it.

Until today, the last day of my two week vacation, does this book show up in my mail box:
