  • Frisbee

     

    frisbeeThe latest fad at our house has been ‘frizzbo’ – the name our boys have affectionately given the act of tossing the classic plastic disc. They’ll often spend close to an hour each night in the front yard throwing that disc back and forth to each other. It’s proven to be a great source of entertainment and exercise, but they tend get more of a workout when they have to haul out the ladder to climb on the roof to get it. The last time I can remember a frisbee enjoying this much popularity was the 1970s.

  • Uncle Screwtape

    screwtape

    “MY DEAR WORMWOOD…
    Indeed the safest road to Hell is the gradual one—the gentle slope, soft underfoot, without sudden turnings, without milestones, without signposts.” An excerpt from the satirical literary masterpiece, The Screwtape Letters by Clive Staples Lewis.

  • Gomez

    The ever-creepy and kooky Gomez Addams. John Astin was the cigar-smoking, arm-kissing, french-speaking character in the 60s television comedy The Addams Family.

  • Monday Monster

    Boris Karloff as Frankenstein’s monster. Hope he finds some coffee.

  • “Do You Like Apples?”

    ‘Well, I got her numba… in my iPhone! How do you like them apples?”

  • Only in October

    closet

    It’s interesting how many news stories center around things that happened in the past. It’s a disgusting tactic that is used to discredit and undermine the worthiness of a candidate. Instead of being disappointed with the targeted candidate, I reach a new level of disdain for the media and the campaigns that dig up the bones. Have we really regressed as a society this much?

  • “It’s Alive!”

    youngfrankenstein

    The late Gene Wilder as Dr. Victor Frankenstein. Actually, “it’s pronounced Fronkinsteen.”

  • Buffet

    mikemeyers

    I bet Michael Meyers would’ve killed it at the meat carving station. His cutlery skills were to die for.

  • “Another Nice Mess”

    stan_oliver

    The classic slapstick comedy duo Laurel and Hardy. I remember staying up late at night in the summer to watch reruns of this program.

  • Day and Night

    ‘Birds of a feather flock together’, the saying goes. In that case, throw me in with the roosters because I am most definitely a morning person.
