tad was jokingly refered to as god once, and that was turned around as being refered to as dog, here on the boards. so he acquired, long before the dogblog existed, a tentative nickname "dog." which, i think, was an accident. but it stuck. and it's here, like the moon.

Thaaat's... yeah, that's just gross.

Sherman is now completely celibate, except for occasional visits to the stuffed Reptar toy when Connor forgets to close his bedroom door and the rest of us are distracted.

Don't ask.  There will NEVER be a reason to legalize this kind of partnership.

Max-a-million: Hadn't thought of it.  Sounds good.  As long as I don't have to spend eternity in Super Mario Bros. Smackdown or whatever it is that's always screeching and booming in my living room.  Actually, I feel like I AM spending eternity in a Nintendo game, and it's only going to get worse Christmas day.

STILL fighting off the last lingering bits of this cold, btw.  Thing's like Gollum, it just follows you and follows you.

But I have to go out and do a last wee bit of shopping, so I'll catch you later.

Sorry everyone is sick. I'm new around here, so I'm not sure where everyone is hailing from.  Just be glad your not from Miami Florida.  Actually, its december, so I probably shouldn't draw attention to the fact that I live in the sub-tropics; but as far as sickness goes, be glad that nothing you got is tropical in origin.  All the time people drop sick with mystery illnesses around here and its just antibiotics and water as the only cure. If it cures.

As far as home remedies are concerned, here are the tried and true, 100 percent successful ones: In the daytime, drink copious amounts of Liquid Dayquil.  The amounts suggested on the label are just guidlines; inbibe until everything you see looks a little yellow.  At night: Nyquil, the ultimate angel of mercy.  Take shots of it until blessed sleep arrives.  A friend taught me a good one: The Sleepy Heathen. Half a shot of Nyquil, the other half of the shot Jagermeister.  Repeat until woosy.  Then sleep, remedy groginess with aformentioned Dayquil. Good luck,and get better soon.

*pounce-through*

Merry Christmas tad, Deb, Devon and Connor!
And The Aminals too!!!
*pets sherman and bounces out again*

Also, if I might ask: If Peter Jackson were to make another movie based off something . . .

Actually, I read one of PJ's next projects is a movie based on the game Halo. Seriously.

This worries me - how many movies based on video games have been watchable?

A fröhliche Weihnachten for everyone!! Worst thing about ma cold, is that I can't sing all those nice christmas-songs. Rudolph is my favorite, 'cause I luv happy ends.
I wish you a happy end of 2005 and a good start in 2006, don't drink to much, don't sing to much and don't set the x-mas tree on fire!

Happy and/or Merry Christmas and belated Solstice Greetings to everyone from all the sentient and semi-sentient creatures at our house.

Not sure which category I figure in just at the moment.  Kids woke me after three hours of sleep with Christmas fever.  Present-opening effectively over by seven-thirty.  I had to go back to bed.

Now listening to Franz Ferdinand and cooking goose.

Love to all...

heh next year you should give them a challenge to solve before they can open thier presents...something that will take long enough to give you enough sleep-time to wake up properly...8)
Like a "Follow-the-Trail of Clues" thus you can test their education and see if they've actually learned anything thus if they don't find the presents then you can say "See...now if you'd paid attention in school you'd have found them by now..."
...or maybe I'm just being mean? Make Christmas educational? Perish the thought!
Though I reserve the right to use it on my own kids...whenever I get around to having them...

my sister loved doing that to me on birthdays. my dad had this other tactic of pretending to forget it was my birthday, and then i would walk into the closet after breakfast or something and there would be a wrapped present sitting on the floor.
