Random Chuck Norris fact...

Just because random facts about Chuck Norris make me smile and shake my head a little...


Chuck Norris sold his soul to the devil for his rugged good looks and unparalleled martial arts ability. Shortly after the transaction was finalized, Chuck roundhouse-kicked the devil in the face and took his soul back. The devil, who appreciates irony, couldn't stay mad and admitted he should have seen it coming. They now play poker every second Wednesday of the month.

Things learned in WI over winter break...

I love you more than you like six!

Say no to crack! "No to crack"...

Kelly is a good cooker and a unicorn. And she was both the killer and the killee in Black Christmas. She dies good.

Kevin is the best fixer ever. He fixes everything.

I had to edit this post and add this in as it was brought to my attention: Do we like cans? Yes, if they are Nemo's can...

I loved having everyone over on New Year's Eve and playing Apple Stapples, it was great fun.

Margot loved that Mike ran and got a pot and a wooden spoon to make noise at midnight.

I really hope that Caetie becomes a Brian Surgeowicz when she grows up. It will be spelled "Brain Surgeon".

All of Kristofer's aunts are his favorite, but Auntie Margot is his most favorite and that's okay, because she's my favorite aunt, too.

I call crossbow!

Lisa's true career, as determined by a long involved conversation with Margot and Mike, is the Ultimate Fighting Midwife (UFM) complete with mask and knee high lace up wrestling boots. Hey, they are comfy.

Aubri's banana butt beats Kevin's feet. I wonder if UFM would win against both...

I am sarcastic and come across as rude, but people love me anyway.

Did YOU poop on the finish line?

Nemo still has a great butt.

Jeremy also has a great butt, albeit not as great as Nemo's.

Brew City Music puts on a great karaoke show and I miss them terribly! I love you Dale and Candy, and I hope that Kelly remembers to give you your gift, because I am a blonde...yeah yeah yeah

Lisa kicks ass on Add It Up! Remember, it's all about the timing...

Nemo makes this great drink called the Cocoa Kelly, you have to stop into the Village Tap in Lyons, WI off of Rte 36 and have him make you one. Then make sure you have him turn around so you can see the real reason I sent you in. (Not that the drink isn't yummy and has whipped cream on it...it's just not Nemo's butt...ooo Nemo's butt with whipped cream on it...sorry, tangent...)

My sister and my dad think that I sing great! (My mom, too, but she has always thought so...)

Kelly cannot win at SingStar Rocks! because she rewrote all of the songs better than the original artists and sings them her way and we all like that she's so humble and quiet and such a wallflower...

Aubri and I rock on Love Shack, you should hear us. It's a lot higher than you think.
Love Shack, baby Love Shack...

We got lovely things from all of our family and loved ones. We had wonderful meals with all of them. (Thank you for yummy porcupine balls, I know how long the harvest took and how delicate the removal was...)

We were hosted by the most patient family in all of WI, I am sure that they are glad to have their home to themselves. Thank you all!

We miss WI, but we missed home, too. We thought we'd get some snow to take back with us and we did, only it's in a can from my mom because it was in the 40's the entire time we were up north.

I don't like pomeranians, but Spike is the cutest doggie ever. He's so good and I know that he's probably glad that his house is emptier! I will miss our late night walks.

Aunt Margot wanted to go home at 7PM on Saturday night, but she stayed in WI until almost 1AM to make Mike the final hat of Christmas. It's a good thing, because I think his brain has started growing through the weave. He won't take it off. It's really sweet. When I told him to take it off, he said, "No, Auntie Margot made it fer me..." and how can I argue with that?

Margot is actually having an affair with Sheila and Sheila is still jealous of how much Margot loves us and there is just no need. There is always room for one more crazy person in our lives. Come and join us Sheila, we welcome you. Any friend of Margot's is a friend of ours, even if you live in a trailer park. We don't judge. Well, not much. Maybe we can get you into a double-wide soon? I know that Margot's knitting stuff takes up so much space.

And lastly, why would you sing Rizzo's song when you are auditioning for Sandy???

Tin Roof Rusted.
