(Quirky) Brotherly Love

Halloween??? Nah, just fooling around.

Hey there.  My brother and I have a pretty strong relationship.  Well, at least I like to think so.  Since we were young, we always hung out together and even more so when our father passed away over 18 years ago.  Our mother raised us on her own, but she worked so much (and partied!) that sometimes it was just us taking care of ourselves.  I'm sure that has a lot to do with how we interact with each other.  It's always a riot, we always laugh, and we have this quirkiness to what we find comical.  The Office, Dumb and Dumber, and other "quirky" shows and movies are hilarious to us.  We constantly quote them and actually use many of the phrases from these shows and movies without even thinking it about it.  Case and point:  My wife and I were driving to work or my mother in laws (can't remember where to) and she asks me, "What's a Sasquatch?", to which I replied, "Only the strongest animal on the planet!", taken directly from what Dwight says to Andy on The Office during their duel.

Now...  my wife is used to my "comedic" phrases and gestures.  This one took the cake.  She looked at me, said her "Oh my god" and turned away and chuckled to herself.  Me, on the other hand, am laughing my ass off.  lol  She then looks at me and says, "And you didn't even think about it.  You're turning into Dwight."  lol

Now... if it was my brother... we'd be going at it to see who would reign supreme.  Just look at the below...  This was an actual text conversation that we had yesterday.  The whole thing started with me asking my brother what he was having for dinner.  Don' ask...  lol  Here's the conversation, word for word...

Bro: I'm thinking "where the f*** you taking me????

Me: Not tonight, maybe some other night.  The kids made honor roll (again) this month.  lol

Bro: LOL mom never took us anywhere for honor roll

Me: Yeah, tell me about it.  We took ourselves to chuck e cheese, oh my bad...  Pistol Petes. lol

Bro: lol yea, ourselves

Me: lol

Bro: Moms had no idea I just stop bringing home the honor rolls left them in the locker lol

Me: Nah, mine "mysteriously" got lost with the homework. lol

Bro: lol  I never did homework but I managed

Me: Yeah, I stopped doing the stuff in jr. high. lol

Bro: Man I hung my certificates in class!!! lol

Me: My certificate was the template.  They had to change MY name to let other kids have some. lmao!

Bro: lmao... I would get them so often that they just started making photocopies so that they save money on the "good" paper

Me: Man, they stopped giving me certificates and just handed a lifetime achievement plaque.  Figured it would save time and money.

Bro: lmao!!! u been to HP???? I have my own statue!  I graduated and they're thinking about naming the gym after me!

Me: Don't even get me started on sh*t named in my honor!

Bro: lmao!  What the school toilet???

Me: More like a whole subject!  Ever heard of Viculus?  Look it up, you probably haven't cause you couldn't handle regular calculus.

Bro: lmao!  Stuuuuuuuppppppiddd!!!!  Ever had AP Mandizziiiee Literature???  Takes English literature to whole other level... or even AP Physical M****???  Ever heard of P90X???  Ten times worst!!!  Can't handle that kind of work out.

Now...  At this point, I know he's stumped.  Answers are not short and he took forever to respond.  He just couldn't top what I said and he knew it.  It continues...

Me: Nah, foo.  I got you on that one. lol  sh*t was weak.  lol

Bro: lol yea one for you finally lol

Me: lmao! this guy. Sore loser.

Bro:I gave u credit lol... we'll meet again

Me: That we will.

Bro: We will slap swords lmao

Yup...  that's a typical conversation between my brother and I.  Only us would have a conversation in regards to honor roll and escalate to whatever you want to call what the above is.  lol  The funny thing about it is that we'll find ANYTHING and turn it into the above.  lol  I'm curious to know if our's is unique or if some of you out there have similar relationships with your siblings.  Until we "meet again".  Later!

Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Alvin and the Chipmunks. All opinions are 100% mine.

Hey there friends. As a child, it was impossible to NOT watch Alvin and the Chipmunks on TV. My brother and I would sit in front of the TV whenever it came on and we owned many of the videos that featured the Chipmunks. My brother even owned their Christmas CD! That's hardcore, right there. Now, I'm older and the Chipmunks no longer run on TV, yet, with the recent success of their latest feature films, they have been reintroduced to another generation.

When the first of the recent films came out, we checked it out that opening weekend.  The kids saw dancing and singing chipmunks, my wife and I saw a piece of our childhood.  Now, with the second film now in stores, we immediately jumped on it.  Even though Ms. Miller made an extremely brief on screen introduction, the Chipettes, the female counterparts of the Chipmunks, took the stage.  Our son may be at the age where he may be growing out of the Chipmunks but our daughters (4 and 8) are very much enjoying the singing and dancing.  This is where the Double DVD Pack that includes "The Squeak Along" Bonus Disc comes in handy.

They're already into music so to have more of their favorite songs readily available for sing a longs the better.  You can check out the double disc edition and  buy it now at specialty retailers such as Walmart and Amazon.  This is definitely a family friendly movie that you will want to add to your collection.  Especially since it brings back a piece of our childhood.  They may not be the 2D chipmunks that we may know and love, but the 3D ones sure are a welcomed site.  For More Munk Mayhem and other great family friendly flicks, check out http://www.foxfamilyflicks.com

As you can see, our next generation is ready to crack open the DVD case and get to the movie.  lol  He was too little when we took the kids to the theaters to get their munk on.  My guess is that he wants to know what all the fuss is about.  I think I'll go and watch the film with the kids now.  I'll catch you guys later.  Later!

Motivational Sunday - Jesus

Hey there.  Happy Easter, friends.  I'll be honest and say that I'm not 100% sure what the meaning of Easter is.  Something to do Jesus and his ascension to heaven... I think.  But modern times tells us differently.  They say Easter is about candy, food and egg hunts.  Well, to all those that believe that the Easter Bunny is the "man" during Easter, here's to you!  Later!

The Passionate Art of Lovemaking

An Italian, a Frenchman, and an Englishmen are hanging around discussing their previous night's love making with their wives. 

The Italian boasts, "I rubbed fine olive oil all over my wife.  Then I showed her the time of her life.  She screamed for a full five minutes!"

The Frenchmen responds with, "I rubbed sweet butter all over my wife's body.  Then I rocked her world.  She screamed for half an hour!"

"That's nothing.", responds the Englishman, "I covered my wife's body with lard.  Then, we made love and she screamed for six hours!"

Impressed, his friends ask, "How did you make her scream for 6 hours?!?!?" 

"Easy," says the Englishman, "I wiped my hands on the drapes."

BCBG Hand Bag Giveaway

Hey there. I wanted to post this yesterday but seeing that half the world was expecting pranks and what not, I figured to just wait until today. As I mentioned in this post, my wife has a few bags that may have been used once or twice that she wanted to donate to charity. I seize the opportunity and decided that maybe I would be able to give some of the bags away to readers of my site. So without further delay, here's is the first bag up for grabs!

Not bad, right?  The bag is in great condition.  It's not a brand new bag but it was only used about twice so there is nothing wrong with it.  Check out the pictures for your scrutiny.  The only thing that I found off with the bag is the plastic thing that wraps around the handle.  One of them looks a little weird, but other than that, there is nothing wrong with this bag.  So here's the deal, you will need to earn entries into this drawing.  How do you get em, like this:
