Stickey Fingers

Ted states, "I have to wash my hands,they're all sticky from jelly."
"Where did you get jelly from?" I ask. "From my toast,upstairs," Teds replies. "OK" I answer. Question to self.....when was the last morning we had toast with jelly? I know it wasn't yesterday..... |

This one was pointed out by one of the illustrious cousin one-point-fives.

I don't believe it!

I was having a discussion with a guy at work the other day. We sort of poke fun at him for being from Elmira, NY using all of the requsite hick, hillbilly, and hayseed jokes that being from Elmira earns a person. Anyhow, he made mention of the fabled rural activity of "cow-tipping." Now I simply do not believe that a 180 pound person can tip over a 1200+ pound, 4 legged animal like a cow, and told him so. I argued that a cow, in addition to its large mass, has its 4 legs fairly widely placed out at the "corners" of that large mass and they are not that tall. This would seem to comprise a very stable platform, and be pretty difficult to topple. The physics just don't seem to work out. I am guessing that a 180 pound person, even running and slamming into the side of our hapless cow would not likely exert any more force than a good stiff gust of wind, when you figure in the area of a cow-side, blowing on said cow. I have not actually (yet) done the calculations on that, but I just may have to break out a pad of paper and fire up MathCad and run the numbers.
He said I was wrong and countered by saying that you tip them over while they are "sleeping standing up." I remain unconvinced. So, dear readers, I am seeking your help. I have to believe that somewhere in the vast sea of readers of this fine journal,(now numbering approximatly 111,236,153.75* people) that there is at least ONE cow expert. Or maybe one of you knows of a cow expert. I have to believe there you are out there, Mr. Cow Expert! Please write in and debunk this silly urban myth of "Cow Tipping." I simply cannot think of WHO I could ask about this. Please help, my belief in the logic of science hangs in the balance. *Source - Neilsen & co. Blog ratings service |

The Journey
|
|
|
LEGOS are THE most loved toy in the household. Many hours are spent building and rebuilding cars and houses and towers and ships. The most beloved of the LEGO items are the Star Wars LEGO figures. Luke, R2D2, Darth Vader etc.. So this is what took place on Thursday:
Teddy Crying," Mommmmmy I think I just swollowed C3PO's head!" Ted stood before me clutching his throat. "Is it stuck in your throat?" I ask. "No" "Ok then, it went down to your tummy." Raymond enters wailing,"Now I dont have a C3PO head anymore!" Both boys start wailing in grief. Now here's the "Anganes" part: Friday afternoon, Ted says,"I have to go to the bathroom!" He always announces this because at times,he needs my assistance. "Do you hade to go poops?" I asked. "Yes" "Well maybe C3PO's head will be pooped out," I stated matter of factly. Teddy somewhat horrified,"Get out of the bathroom, I want to go by myself!" "OK",I wait outside the door. One minute later... "I'm Done, and CPO's head didn't come out!" Friday evening and two popsicle sticks later: Hey, where'd you find CPO's head?" asks Tessa. "Where do you think?" I answer. "EEEWWWWWWWWW!" gags Tessa in hysterics. Epilogue; Raymond has still not noticed the whole CPO on top of the microwave.I can't wait to explain where I found the head. |
