The Further Adventures of Snake and The Evil One

On this date in 1917 Finland obtained their freedom from Russia thus making today their Independence Day celebration. Also, Birthday wishes go out to British animator Nick Park of Wallace And Gromit fame.


Children (and adults alike) are funny, especially when it comes to song lyrics. One example is the Jimi Hendrix penned classic “Purple Haze”. The lyric says, “S’cuse me while I kiss the sky”; however, many people have been heard uttering along with this song by belting out, “S’cuse me while I kiss this guy”. Obviously, the meanings are very different from Jimi's original intentions.

Little Drummer Boy


Last weekend while visiting my parents in Bama my sister, La Hermanna, called. Apparently, she was driving around with my nephews, Snake and The Evil One. Since the Christmas holiday is coming up shortly she, not unlike many other people, was listening to Christmas songs on the radio. A staple of the holiday season, “Little Drummer Boy” was playing. The Evil One decided that he wanted to get into the Christmas Spirit and sing along…"I played my drum for Him, my bum bum bum bum”. Kids are so adorable. I can’t wait to play him AC/DC’s “Big Balls”.
