Greetings Earthlings!

Happy Pancake Day!!

From the BBC
Pancake Day, or Shrove Tuesday, is the traditional feast day before the start of Lent on Ash Wednesday. Lent - the 40 days leading up to Easter - was traditionally a time of fasting and on Shrove Tuesday Christians went to confession and were "shriven" (absolved from their sins). It was the last opportunity to use eggs and fats before embarking on the Lenten fast and pancakes are the perfect way of using up these ingredients.

Horny Werewolf Day

Happy Valentine’s Day to all. And to those who hate the day, I say this: Valentine’s Day is a Christian corruption of a pagan festival involving werewolves, blood and fucking. So wish people a happy Horny Werewolf Day and see what happens.

Horny Werewolf Day needs to come back. I expect R Stevens and J Rowland to have t-shirts ready for next year.

So Happy Horny Werewolf Day to you all!

Gordy and Brandee for New Years we played a 12 person poker tournament. It had a ten dollar buy in and we paid out to four places. And believe it or not I came in first! It was nice to win for a change. I started out very slow and I thought I was going to be out really fast. Then I started getting some decent hands and the flops to go with them. By the time we had the final table going I had enough chips to use the power of the big stack to buy a few pots.

Afterwards we played some games on the X-box. Gordy got for Christmas Midway Arcade Treasures that had a lot old arcade games on it like Gauntlet, Defender, Tapper, and best of all Rampage.

Also from e-Bay I got Friendly Dictators, Coup D'etat, Iran-Contra Scandal, and Rotten to the Core trading cards sets that Eclipse Comics published back in the late 80's.

It may be anything but cold outside I just wanted to imagine some cooler weather for here.

So Ho Ho Ho! Merry Christmas! *looks outside* Damn didnt work!

I would like to wish a Happy Birthday to America. Everyone enjoy the fireworks and dont blow your fingers off.

Had a good time out at Steph's house yesterday. Cooked up some steaks on the grill, gossiped a bit, and the dogs got spoiled rotten by getting some Deviled Eggs, steak bones, and dog cookies.

I was reminded last night about what happened a couple Thanksgivings ago.

Ann generally takes Warner over to Lisa's on Sundays when she runs her long running (nearly ten years I think) Hunters Hunted game. Our other dog Indiana stays home with me. Warner tends to get spoiled rotten over there. Expensive dog treats, leftovers, sometimes her own hamburger from McDonalds.

So when when Warner comes home we joke that Warner brags to Indy about the stuff she gets at Lisa's. Tell her wonderful stories like gravy falls from the sky (yes we are crazy dog people) and as many cookies as you want.

So when we had Thanksgiving over there a couple years ago we were all in Lisa's kitchen when being underfoot got gravy spilled on her head. So gravy DOES fall from the sky as far as Indy is concerned.

EDIT: Ann wanted to point out I am the dog crazy person.
