Merry Christmas Fellow Bloggers.




Merry Christmas to my Buds back home. I miss you guys. Hope you have a Merry and Safe Christmas and I'll be thinking of you all back home! Also have a Happy and Safe New Year.

Movie Meme

Popcorn or Candy? Definitely popcorn with extra butter. If you don't have butter stains on your shirt when you leave the theatre there wasn't enough butter.

Name a movie you've been meaning to see forever. Cool Hand Luke (Sorry McGone)

Steal one costume from a movie for your wardrobe. The Mystery Alaska Jersey's

Your favorite film franchise is? Indiana Jones....Followed by Clerks (Just recently saw #2...not as funny but I still liked it.)

Invite 5 movie people over for dinner. Who are they? Why did you invite them? What do you feed them? Jack Black, Will Ferrell, Owen Wilson, Vince Vaughn and Brad Pitt. The first four because I think they are hilarious and Brad Pitt for my wife. Brats and burgers on the grill and Jim Beam.

What is the appropriate punishment for people who answer cell phone's in the theatre?
A good punch right up side the head.

Choose a female bodyguard: Ripley from Aliens, Mystique from X-Men, Sarah Connor from Terminator 2, The Bride from Kill Bill or Mace from Strange Days?
I choose Angelina Jolie from Mr. & Mrs. Smith...Bad ass.

What's the scariest thing you've seen in a movie? I remember as a kid seeing Piranha and not wanting to go swimming at Goose Lake or the scout camp because I swore the water was full of piranhas. Scared the crap out of me.

Your favorite genre(excluding comedy and drama). Action...gotta love a good high speed chase scene or explosion!

You are given the power to greenlight movies at a major studio for 1 year. How do you wield this power? I agree to enlist the help of Mcgone because I would be horrible at this. It would have to have Will Ferrell and Jack Black in it. Two buddies having a mid-life crisis and going out on a roadtrip.

Bonnie or Clyde? Bonnie...if in doubt pick the chick.

My 2nd Face Thingy




This thing is messed up. I don't look like any of these people. I still don't get this.

Joke of the Day

A guy is shopping for groceries in a supermarket when a woman approaches him and says "You look familiar...don't I know you? Your the father of one of my kids." Now confused...the man thinks back to the only time in his life he cheated on his wife and said "Oh, are you the stripper I banged on the pool table at my buddies bachelor party while everyone was cheering my on and I was smacking your ass?" "Noooo", she replied "I'm your son's Sunday School teacher.

That there lightning bug

Today when I was talking to Cori out of the blue she started talking about lightning bugs and asked why we don't have lightning bugs out here. This is something we talked about last summer when we realized we don't have lightning bugs out here. Anyways...talking about that made me think of a poem my Great Grandfather wrote and my mom used to read to me when I was a kid. I thought I would share it with you guys.....hope you like it.

That there lightning bug

I walked out through the garden
on a dark and moonless night
A thousand golden candles
flickered there within my sight

With a graceful flowing motion
they were dancing all around
Ever silently, softly glowing
from the tree tops to the ground

Like embers from a fire
they shot into the air
No pattern to their movement
just darting here to there

As falling stars that travel
through the darkness of the night
Nothing seems to bother
the capers of their flight

When the show was over
and the candles ceased to glow
It surely made me wonder
how it could be so

Written by my great grandfather - Clyde Bake "The Old Fisherman"

Snow in time for Christmas....but will it last?
