Merry Christmas my fellow hooplans... About to head out to my fathers place. Going to be a long afternoon/evening of talking politics/religion/science and many other whacky topics.

Hope everyone is safe and spending time with loved ones. Take care, and see you all tomorrow.

Okay, so who wants a crazy mother in law story? No one? Too bad.

She decides that she would like to invite a whackload of cousins over for Christmas eve dinner, but of course can't cook worth shit. So, the wife and I do a turkey, a ham, all the trimmings, and some goofy Chinese stuff too. But there are so many dishes on the go, that we need to use the mom's kitchen too. Backstory - she has her own wok kitchen to the crappy she spoke doesn't stink up the rest of the house. But it is really decked out, has a 5 Star professional grade stove, like a $10k stove that she doesn't know how to use. So we are set to put the ham in there, and fortunately my wife looks in the oven before turning it on, because it is packed full of crap. She's been using it for storage. Fine, oven is cleared out and set. Now we need to broil something (oven has a separate broiler) so the mom pushed the button. Well, THAT was packed with shit, and now it's all on fire. Little old Chinese ladies like to build cardboard caves around theburners when they stirfry, to contain the splatter. Well, she storedall of that grease soaked cardboard in the broiler, and now itwas on fire.

So they pull thisburning mass onto the floor, and start stomping the shit out of it. I just closedthe door so the rest of the house didn't stink.

Anyways, no harm, I drank, merry Christmas

So my wife is in Canadian Tire a little while ago and they had a beautiful framed 'Bobby Orr' collage of images. They were having a silent auction and she put a bid in for it with some of the proceeds going to Kidsport (helps kids get equipment for sports etc.). Anyway, she ends up winning the auction and I got another great picture for the mancave.

Merry Christmas to all.

Oh, and we're getting a nice snowstorm on Christmas Day here on Vancouver Island which is pretty cool as well.

Nice Puck.

I am heading over to Mom's in a bit. There is going to be ten of us squeezed in a dining room where four might be comfortable. That will be fun. Here's hoping my nephews, aged 2 and 3, are not in terrible moods like they were on Thanksgiving.

Bonus fun. My uncle whom I haven't seen for a few years is coming. He is famously and notoriously cheap. My mother warned me because he is bringing my brother and I "gifts". They are sweaters that his grandmother knitted him that he cant wear anymore. Great so I get a sweater that's at least 50 years old (shes been dead that long) and one that he wore until he outgrew it. In his mind this is a really nice gift so my mother gave me a heads up to work on my acting. Pictures to follow if its funny enough.

I hope everyone has a great day.

I bought my wife a pair of Cutco kitchen shears.
Stupidly, insanely, you paid what the fuck for them expensive for a pair of scissors


We can cut a car in half now if we want to.



I may use it to take down a tree this spring.

no damage, Matty. it was largely contained. oh, it turns out the broiler (separate compartment under the oven) wasn't even turned on. it was the flame for the main oven that reached down and lit the rest of the stuff up. And the smoke only got onto the roasted brussel sprouts, so really didn't affect my dinner
a few more M.I.L moments.
- we had set the table for 10, and as the kitchen is absolute mayhem when everything is miraculously ready at the same time, she comes in with two plates in her hand like she's expecting us to plate everyone's dinner individually. when we tell her (politely) to fuck off and just not touch anything, she just stands there in the way like a deer in headlights holding two plates.
- after dinner, where 8 of the 10 people spoke pretty much exclusively Mandarin (I drank), we start to put fruit and pastries on the table for dinner, M.I.L. goes away and comes back with a plate of plain potato chips, and a plate of radishes. WTF????
- I drank

Virginia Tech Cornerback Antone Exum Took Some Random Kids At Best Buy On A $470 Shopping Spree

When all we normally hear about is 21 year old college athletes abusing their blessing and privileges (even when it is probably the vast minority of them, as most are good kids in my experience), it is nice to see a story like this get some run.

Merry Xmas everyone. I hope you all had a great day.

Hey DS, I don't know about you but I like the four seasons. Does it seem strange when it's probably 70-75 degrees on Christmas day? No white Christmas unless you go up to the mountains.

I came back home to Pennsylvania to spend Christmas with my family, but it's still just raining here, and it might even be colder in Tucson.

I'm no stranger to catching things on fire in ovens and broilers. Of course, usually, that's the meal....
