I still think Emmett is Darth Tigger!

Heh, me too.

Me too!

Any City Garden fans here?

One of the Homeowners that participated in the HGTV version ( Urban Outsiders ) has blogged their experience. The episode that features his garden is airing next week.

This is wrong and a bad idea, but I laughed anyway: [link] (video)

As a practical joke, they dug a big hole in the middle of a jogging/bike path, filled it with water and covered it with leaves to hide it - then recorded the results.

Same here.

Of course, I have the same problem with Princess Tickybox. "Wait, you're not old enough to be a biped yet! Stop that!"

I saw that! Those wacky Germans. I'm wondering how someone would NOT get sued for that. The people one the bikes especially.

eta and yes I agree - bad, and wrong, and so very, very funny.

I like the new commercial where it shows a middle-aged black guy browsing in a drug store. He brings a box of tampons up to the counter where the teenage clerk rings them up. He carries them out to the car and his young, teenage daughter is crouched in the passenger seat, too embarrassed to buy them herself. The voice over says, "it takes a man to be a dad." That one gets me every time.

awwww. reminds me of a story from my teenage years. My dad is super cool. One day, he asked me if I needed anything from the store. I hesitated, just thinking, he said "If you need any of that feminine stuff, I'll buy it, but you have to be specific. I need the name and the color of the box" so, I was laughing, and my mother overheard this conversation and was horrified.

Our front hallway was L shaped, so she pulled me into the short end of the hallway to whisper furiously that it was inappropriate to talk about "that sort of thing" with a man, even my father, blah blah blah. As I was staring at her incredulously, my father poked his head around the corner and yelled "PERIOD, PERIOD, PERIOD!!" My mother was speechless with shock and horror as I collapsed against the wall laughing. As my mother began to recover, he poked his head around the corner again and shouted "NAPKIN! NAPKIN! NAPKIN!" as I again doubled over with laughter. My mother screeched out "JER-RY!" and took off to grab him and yell at him. She made him apologize, but it wasn't very effective because neither of us could stop laughing, as she stood there glaring with her arms crossed, tapping her toe indignantly.

Oh my, that's hilarious, Vortex.

"PERIOD, PERIOD, PERIOD!!"

Ha! Awesome.

It's probably my favorite dad story. My mother is a lunatic. I had to hide tampons in my room all during high school. I remember the satisfaction that I felt the first time I had an apartment during college and could just put the damn things under the sink!

"NAPKIN! NAPKIN! NAPKIN!"

Fan. Fucking. Tastic.
