The Zweebles new thing is to make us watch tv shows tat he then creates for us. Basically he'll come up and say, "you have to watch a tv show (either called or about) x ( Read more... )

When we got back from vacation, The Lovely Wife posted a pic of me. Wow. It's the first time that I really looked at meyself and though, "OMG ! I'm fat!"

So I had the boy with me today for the last few hours at work. We were passing out the commercial logs for the stations. We walked into one and All Night Long by Lionel Richie was playing. The Zweeble asks me, "What kind of music is this?"
