Happy New Year to all the little children…

Wishing you all a good night of flushing down the old and spicing up the new. I like to think of all my good friends on New Years, and how lucky I am not to live in the same town with most of them (just kidding for all the sensitive ones). Missing you tonight, big kisses, big dancin’, and BI-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-G HU-U-U-U-U-U-U-U-U-U-UGS (said in Teletubbie voice). Be good and safe and have a wonderful New Year’s Eve.

The honour of the USA is at stake

This coming weekend, it is the final game of the Piedmont Potato Cannoneers fantasy football league. I, a humble Brit, have advanced to the final, already leaving a trail of US citizens – born and raised on “football” – in my wake. The sport of American Football is not generally recognised over here. My opponent for this final game is none other than our esteemed host. A man who has all the advantages of being a native to the sport. A man who’s team has been putting up huge points over the last few weeks.

The honour of the USA is in your hands, sir. Make your choices well.  How could you lose against me? You have all the advantages.

White Mexicans

In the discount bin at my local grocer, I found this stuff called Cafe de Lolita.  I’m not sure what the actual flavor is, but I would recommend that everyone run to their local discount bins, and check this stuff out.  I mixed mine with vodka and milk, and named it a “White Mexican” – you can use that if you want – and it was great.  I had three of them last night, and nary a sign of a hangover this morning.  I also began an affair with a 12 year old girl, which was nice too. 

Penguins

Last year I wanted to help the Audubon in New Orleans so Jack donated to the Society and I became the adoptive parent of one of the penguins at the Aquarium (I named him Louie after my grandfather). We went to see the penguins this weekend and one of them was swimming head-first into his plexiglass enclosure. This was obviously the penguin Jack and I are supporting. I’m not exactly sure what this means but a penguin slamming himself into a wall repeatedly can’t be a good reflection of our mental state.

In other penguin news I tried to watch March of the Penguins this weekend.  I could watch 30 seconds at a time before I would cry.  I believe I watched a total of 4 minutes before giving up completely.  The movie is coming out of the netflix queue.
