When Bran was around 5 years old, his favorite things to watch were old Godzilla movies.  You can imagine the things he did our cat, CJ. 

I wanted a share a really nice picture of Kristin and I in our Halloween costumes this year.

Really nice that is until you notice Mr. Clean back there.  :-/

Halloween party was a big success.  Not so much in the way of Halloween oriented games and crap, but a lot of cards and kids running crazy through the house.

There may have been a shot or two of booze as well.  😉

About five weeks ago or more, Kristin and I decided that we were going to host a kids oriented Halloween party this year.  Costumes, kids, and the whole shebang.  While it was plenty of time for everyone to make sure that they had their costumes in order, it wasn’t quite enough time to lay claim to the primary Halloween weekend, so we scheduled it for this Saturday, one week before the holiday.

We started preparing, bought a fresh round of decorations for the year, and sent out the invitations to our friends with kids. (“Invitations” being a clear synonym for “emails”)

Just today, two days before the party, I got this email from one my friends.  It wasn’t even a new email, it was a reply just to me from a thread between a bunch of us discussing when our next poker night would be.  So it’s not like he’d been thinking about for some time, it was just something that crossed his mind as we were emailing around.

Yes.  It’s a costume party.

Kristin was handling all of this, didn’t you get the memo?

Yes.. Just making sure..

Kristin mentioned a carving table for pumpkins so I assumed kids were allowed.

You wearing a costume?

YES!  Everyone should wear a costume to the costume party! 

Kristin, Bran, and I are wearing costumes.  I know R—– mentioned something about their kids’ costumes and N—– and V—— are wearing costumes.  Pretty sure K——, C——, J—–, and R—– are as well.

Maybe I’ll just put peanut butter around my mouth and be an asshole..

Here are the most frequent searches done on the Internet that hit on my blog between July and Sept of this year, complete with mispellings:

King Julien
Michigan Football
Ohio State Football
WoW Cataclysm
Name Tag
Bascic Reading Skills
Star Wars Droids
Football Motivational Posters
Flock of Seagulls Hair
Cataclysm

Nothing terribly exciting except that King Julien is evidently the most interesting thing I’ve ever posted about on this blog.  Also, why are so many people searching for “Name Tag”?  What could anyone possibly want to now about something so generic as a name tag?

Here are some of the more interesting search phrases:

Go Buckeyes (O-H…)
I am extremely (Tired?  Happy?  Flatulent?)
Michigan Demotivational (Michigan is pretty demotivating in and of itself lately)
Star Wars Hangar (Damn Star Wars nerds)
Star Wars Garbage (What the…)
80s Hair Highschool Picture (We all have them.  Don’t lie, you do too!)
Computers with Blue Lights (WEEEEE!)
Integral Radical Lipstick Slide Rule (I’m actually the top search result for this!)
Look Closely (and you’ll see my blog)
Michigan Defeat (There’s got to be billions of results for this this, I’m sure.  Pfffft!)
Utah Symphony Opera (I’m pretty sure I never posted about this)
wwwpornqueen.com (Heh, I love searches that include the www and the .com)
Kyle Pedophile Illinois (Fortunately, I am NOT the #1 result for this)

If you can watch this video three times in a row and NOT have the song stuck in your head for all eternity, please explain to me your Jedi training abilities.  I’m now walking around the office and joining meetings singing, “BABY MONKEY!  BABY MONKEY!”

Lyrics for your enhanced singing pleasure:

“Baby Monkey, Baby Monkey,
Riding on a pig, Baby Monkey.
Baby Monkey, Baby Monkey,
Backwards on a pig, Baby Monkey.”

“The world has gone insane,
And you don’t know what is right.
You got to keep on keeping on;
Get on that pig and hold on tiiiiii-ight!”

“Baby Monkey, Baby Monkey
Riding on a pig, Baby Monkey.
Baby Monkey, Baby Monkey
Going Backwards on a pig, Baby Monkeeeeeeey, HEY!”
