Such As It Is...

Best stuff I found this week.
Christmas stuff you either can't afford or shouldn't buy anyway.
Spectacular pieces of sculpture made from the incredible, edible egg.
Weekly dose of morbidity.
Humor from a master.
Do you think like a psychopath?
Video of the week: Cartman does football color commentary.

So, we can all assume you got the "right" answer, psycho? And more importantly, you don't know my address, right?

Would it help or hurt to say the "right" answer was obvious? :)

My wife didn't get it at all, thank goodness. I didn't get it for two days so I guess that makes me a slow- witted psycho.

Passion
Recent conversation with Brenda: me: I've been thinking about our love life lately. Brenda: Have you been drinking? me: I think the best comparison would be to the cockroach. Go »
Halloween Is Not For Kids
More and more, Halloween is becoming an occasion for parents to dress their kids for their own amusement and less and less for children to dress themselves as they want. I find it difficult to believe that any of these kids chose these costumes themselves and, although creative, are scary insights into the minds of their potential serial killer parents. The "rat eating brains" cap for infants disturbed me the most. Go »
Crazy For You, Baby
Recent conversation with Brenda: me: You know how crazy I am for you? Brenda: Crazy enough to raise three kids. me: I'm crazy enough to ignore the voices in my head when we talk. Go »
F* You BAFTA
The Mickster didn't say F* you to BAFTA after winning their best actor award but did have a vulgarity filled acceptance speech reminiscent of Russell Crowe. Come to think of it, Russell Crowe lost the Academy Award that year to Denzel Washington. An Oscar worthy role in A Beautiful Mind lost to an Oscar worthy actor in Training Day. Go »
Strike Two
Brenda and I attended a school meeting today to discuss the battery of assessments needed to properly develop an education plan for Olivia. After hearing the assessments from the primary teacher, occupational therapist, speech therapist and physical therapist, we got to the part that was a stunner to say the least - the school psychologist. After giving her report which mimicked the other reports to a large degree, she informed us that she felt it was time to officially put it in the record that Olivia was intellectually disabled.

OK, that psychopath thing wasn't fair! Just because you can tell why doesn't mean you would be like that!
Good links, though.
