Matthew sings the blues…


Jeff sent me some pictures a couple of weeks ago that I’ve posted to the gallery. You can see them in the 200512 Trip to Disney World gallery. The first picture is a great picture of the 3 kids!
Moe: Does anyone know who blew up the boardinghouse?
Joe: Not yet, but roomers are flying.
Two tugboat captains who had been friends for years always cried “Aye!” and blew their whistles whenever their tugboats passed each other. A new crewman asked his boat’s mate, “What do they do that for?”
The mate looked surprised and replied, “You mean that you’ve never heard the expression ‘An aye for an aye and a toot for a toot’?”
I heard this on NPR’s Wait, Wait… Don’t Tell Me and I thought of Alisa’s “Stinker” t-shirt. Apparently there is a clothing company called Pimpfants:
Pimpfants’ fresh designs fill the clothing void that has long been over-looked for the new generation of parents who want their children to be both hip and comfortable.
Another page on their site mentions that their clothing allows “babies and tots everywhere the opportunity to hit the playground with fresh gear and street cred.”
They even sell velour track suits!
I always thought Matthew and Andrew weren’t hip enough. This will obviously harm their street cred.
What?! Who comes up with the names for groups of animals and birds? Julia bought Who Wants to Be A Millionaire at Value Village for $2. We’ve played it several times over the last few days. Last night while playing with Lisa’s parents (who were here for the weekend), one of the questions was asking what a group of owls was called. The options were Senate, Congress, Parliament and Government. I guessed Congress, but the correct answer was Parliament. Weird!
Yeah, I know I’m slow, eh! Today I finally got around to posting more images to the family gallery. I haven’t posted pictures since January… yikes!
Also, since I hadn’t posted since January, I missed that Alisa had posted a picture of their dog and cat. You can see that here.
If anyone’s counting, there are 1,436 images in the “new” gallery. I still have a lot of the old ones to move over.
Thanks Jason! Happy Birthday Alisa (today) and Happy Birthday Julia (not today)!

Thank you to everyone who has given or sold me coins. Not much has changed since the last update. I pretty well have all the current coins, but I’m always on the lookout for the older ones. Since the last update I have gotten one of the 2006 Olympic Loonies, but I’d still like a couple more.
As always, my list of coin needs is at http://gawing.com/coins/
This has nothing to do with April Fool’s Day, but it’s still good…
What goes ha, ha, ha, plop?
Someone laughing their head off.
