You still have my red polka outfit, Lame. Hope you didn’t stretch it out too much. I must say, it looks a lot better on you than it does me!
Darks, you’ll like this idea! Son just tied a stuffed bear to the ceiling fan and turned it on. Now poor dog is running around in circles trying to catch it. Hilarious! Why didn’t I think of that? :)
Now poor dog momma mascot is running around in circles trying to catch it.

23 Dangerous Child Facts
1. A king size waterbed holds enough water to fill 2000 sq. foot house 4 inches deep.
2. If you spray hair spray on dust bunnies and run over them with roller blades, they can ignite.
3. A 3-year-old’s voice is louder than 200 adults in a crowded restaurant.
4. If you hook a dog leash over a ceiling fan, the motor is not strong enough to rotate a 42 pound boy wearing Batman underwear and a superman cape. It is strong enough, however, if tied to a paint can, to spread paint on all four walls of a 20 by 20 foot room.
5. You should not throw baseballs up when the ceiling fan is on. When using the ceiling fan as a bat, you have to throw the ball up a few times before you get a hit. A ceiling fan can hit a baseball a long way.
6. The glass in windows (even double pane) doesn’t stop a baseball hit by a ceiling fan.
7. When you hear the toilet flush and the words “Uh-oh,” it’s already too late.
8. Brake fluid mixed with Clorox makes smoke, and lots of it.
9. A six year old can start a fire with a flint rock even though a 36 year old man says they can only do it in the movies. A magnifying glass can start a fire even on an overcast day.
10. Certain LEGOs will pass through the digestive tract of a four-year-old.
11. Play Dough and Microwave should never be used in the same sentence.
12. Super glue is forever.
13. No matter how much Jell-O you put in a swimming pool you still can’t walk on water.
14. Pool filters do not like Jell-O.
15. VCR’s do not eject PB & Jam sandwiches even though TV commercials show that they do.
16. Garbage bags do not make good parachutes.
17. Marbles in gas tanks make lots of noise when driving.
18. You probably do not want to know what that odor is.
19. Always look in the oven before you turn it on. Plastic toys do not like ovens.
20. The local fire department has a 5-minute response time.
21. The spin cycle on the washing machine does not make earthworms dizzy.
22. It will however make cats dizzy.
23. Cats throw up twice their body weight when dizzy.
Heh...I get enough exercise chasing you down with my pokey stick, Gramps! :P
Lol! Great list, Nutly, but unfortunately a few years too late. I’ve already experienced at least half of what’s on that list.
Son wanted to tie the cat to the ceiling fan, but that’s where I drew the line. :)
A thuunderclap followed by the words, “That was cool” is not thunder.
Hydrazine is produced in the Olin Raschig process from sodium hypochlorite (the active ingredient in many bleaches) and ammonia, a process announced in 1907. This method relies on the reaction of chloramine with ammonia.
Hydrazine is isn’t the only thing produced in a bleach ammonia reaction.
You also get free chlorine gas and a visit by the fire department.
#7566: Lol!
#7567: O’rly???
Uh oh, what are you up to, Darks? This can’t be good.....
Let’s just say that hydrazine is used in rocket fuel, and I once attempted to make some.
Note the word ‘once’.
It’s a mistake you only do once.
Tried to launch gnomes into outer space, eh Darks? I think you just better stick to using rubber bands....sheesh.
Unsymmetric monomethylhydrazine and red fuming anhydrous nitric?
Yeah.
Once suffices.
Let’s just say that the back yard had patches that didn’t grow so well afterwards.
I escaped unscathed and ready to try again.
I don't plan to listen to TheMessiah's speech tonight, I just can't stomach listening to him. Although, I'm looking forward to hearing Governor Jindal's response. I can't say that Governor Jindal is as accomplished a speaker as TheMessiah but two things are certain. First, Governor Jindal is probably one of the few people in the country who may have actually read all that phoney baloney stimulus bill and who understands all the ramifications. Second, if there is anything remotely reminescient of a "Reaganesque" speech made tonight in spirit or intent, it will come from the Governor's Mansion in Louisiana not some hokey pokey obligatory joint session of congress. No doubt the dems will be serving up more Koolaid to the press in DC tonight but in Baton Rouge they'll be served the Guv's favorite Chocolate Chip cookies. LOL
Some excerpts from the Governor's speech:As I grew up, my mom and dad taught me the values that attracted them to this country - and they instilled in me an immigrant's wonder at the greatness of America. As a child, I remember going to the grocery store with my dad. Growing up in India, he had seen extreme poverty. And as we walked through the aisles, looking at the endless variety on the shelves, he would tell me: "Bobby, Americans can do anything." I still believe that to this day. ...
Republicans are ready to work with the new President to provide those solutions. Here in my state of Louisiana, we don't care what party you belong to if you have good ideas to make life better for our people. We need more of that attitude from both Democrats and Republicans in our nation's capital. All of us want our economy to recover and our nation to prosper. So where we agree, Republicans must be the President's strongest partners. And where we disagree, Republicans have a responsibility to be candid and offer better ideas for a path forward. ...
The strength of America is not found in our government. It is found in the compassionate hearts and enterprising spirit of our citizens. ...
To solve our current problems, Washington must lead. But the way to lead is not to raise taxes and put more money and power in hands of Washington politicians. The way to lead is by empowering you - the American people. Because we believe that Americans can do anything. ...
Democratic leaders say their legislation will grow the economy. What it will do is grow the government, increase our taxes down the line, and saddle future generations with debt. Who among us would ask our children for a loan, so we could spend money we do not have, on things we do not need? That is precisely what the Democrats in Congress just did. It's irresponsible. And it's no way to strengthen our economy, create jobs, or build a prosperous future for our children. ...
In recent years, these distinctions in philosophy became less clear - because our party got away from its principles. You elected Republicans to champion limited government, fiscal discipline, and personal responsibility. Instead, Republicans went along with earmarks and big government spending in Washington. Republicans lost your trust - and rightly so. ...
A few weeks ago, the President warned that our nation is facing a crisis that he said "we may not be able to reverse." Our troubles are real, to be sure. But don't let anyone tell you that we cannot recover - or that America's best days are behind her.
..but...but....that still doesn’t explain the carrots growing out of your ears.......
I see you caught on You're right!
