Keeping watch over Gotham.

I was Green Lantern, but you can't see it as well.

Today is Husband's birthday. I made him this:

And we went to see The Avengers last night. I would post a pic of how I look right now, but basically I look like a wife who spent so much time kicking ass for her Husband's birthday that she is ready to sleep for a week.

@Renee - Fondant icing?  You've got mad patience. 

My friend Ryan smokes, and he was at my house the other night and had his cigarette pack on my coffee table with the warning label with the nasty tongue on the top.  I flipped it over.  Turns out they put the fucking picture on BOTH SIDES of the pack now!  So I came up with this solution:

The other side says "Hot Sex!"

They have those packs in the UK, too, I hate them, but if we're being honest, they do nothing to keep me from smoking the same amount while I am there.

That's what I've heard.  Although the dick one tends to freak some guys out.  Just not enough.

The "sleeve" I made doesn't help much, though.  Because for the rest of the night I'd say "pussy lips" and then Ryan would want another smoke.  Programming.  Makes me wonder if those graphic images of cancer and sores end up creating cravings in the end.

^ Just don't be the pervy kind!

I was at the park once and there was this guy with his nephew (who was probably five) checking out chicks.  And he was telling the kid what to look for and what to say.  "You say, 'Nice rack', and you have to yell it."

Worst uncle ever.

Thanks Renee!

Yeah that seems to be a staple for uncles. Most uncles are creepy uncles. Or mine are anyway. (who's aren't?!)

I'll probably just react as I do around most people when I'm with them in person. Smile and nod and the occasional thumbs up if I have to answer a question.

Indulge me for a minute.  I just found a ton of old pictures! 

From 1959 - my grandmother and grandfather.

This one is from the 70's, but I don't have the exact date.  This is them when the started construction on their house in Kentucky.

This last one is my grandmother apparently strangling a very depressed baby in 1983.

I love looking at old family pictures. See my Grandad, or other folks. These are great Jessica. Thanks for sharing. I might have to drudge up some of mine. I think there earliest I have are tin types.

because I made the dumb thread, I can spam it up if I want. 

The big dog is Sam, the small one is Fritz, the kid is my uncle Jake.  The arm is my grandfather's.

This one....dog+pond= pissed off grandmother

And I took this one in 95.

 3 days of Orioles. Here is my contribution. 

Day one, rained out. We knew the game would be postponed when the Rangers started doing the slip-n-slide thing on the tarp. Bastards. 

 

Day two, double header. Great seats behind home. Rangers 1, Orioles 1

 

 

Day two and a half, a dude selling "cheap ass beer." Baltimore is so classy. 

 

Day three, my buddy caught a ball during batting practice, kind of neat. Orioles won. Good game
