Since both boys made the honor roll celebrated by taking them to foxwoods to see Frank Caliendo. (Tickets were pretty low for the cheap seats). Not only was he show pretty funny but he stayed after the show and signed everything and took pictures with everyone who wanted to.

His tour tickets are available here. It’s worth a visit.

I’m sorry that’s just funny

A lot of the noise about the Williamson case is smoke and grandstanding these days Williamson’s statements on what the Vatican has ordered are not so odd:

Williamson does not plan to immediately comply with the Vatican’s demand that he recant, and has rejected a suggestion that he might visit the former Auschwitz death camp, the German weekly Der Spiegel reported Saturday.

Williamson said he would correct himself if he is satisfied by the evidence, but insisted that examining it “will take time,” Der Spiegel reported.

…but the last line of this associated press story just make me smile and laugh:

Several efforts by The Associated Press to reach Williamson at his home in La Reja, Argentina, have been unsuccessful.

Argentina, ARGENTINA? Boy you don’t get a better fit than that do you?

verb: derived from the Red Dwarf episode Beyond a Joke where the concept of Lister wanting Ketchup served with his Lobster causes his head to explode as shown here.

1. The state caused when an event is so shocking to the system that it causes the head to spontaneously explode.

2. The act of one’s head exploding over events that can’t be processed.

3. The current state of Obama supporters who might now be realizing that he had less experience and legislative ability than Dan Quayle; by a LOT.

In looking for the video for Kryten’s head exploding (Ketchup on Lobster! BOOM) for the last post I found this bit of news at the BBC:

Cult comedy Red Dwarf is returning to TV, 21 years after its initial launch.

The show has been resurrected by digital channel Dave for a two-part Easter weekend special, which sees the cast finally return to Earth.

Written and directed by Red Dwarf co-creator Doug Naylor, the new show reunites the line-up, including Coronation Street’s Craig Charles.

The hit show, which ran for eight series on BBC Two between 1988 and 1999, won an International Emmy award.

This show was always very funny and very offbeat. It will be a very fun time. More details here.
