Hello Minions. I apologize for showing up late tonight. I’ve been in the middle of super secret important stuff and couldn’t break away. But, now here I am. Tonight we’re going to do something a little different.
We all know that Sandy Claws will be coming over soon to clog our chimneys with presents. And for some reason tonight I feel the Christmas spirit a little bit. The other night I began my wish list for this time of the year. As I was doing research for something else entirely, I stumbled upon this: The Addams Family – The Complete Series and I thought about how much I love that show and how I haven’t seen it in reruns lately so that it wold be a perfect gift for me!
And if I like it, your loved ones are bound to love it too because I have impeccable taste!
Some of my favorite stories were written by Neil Gaiman. I would gladly stop killing camping teenagers if I could get the entire Sandman series in leather bound hardback books. Oh wait, you mean that The Absolute Sandman, Vol. 1-5 is exactly what I just described and all 5 books are in stock right now? Wow! If only someone would think of those hapless campers!
Next, I still shudder sometimes when I think of my bizarre encounter in New Orleans. I literally walked around with my $10 aluminum umbrella choked up so that I could use the point as a stabbing weapon. And that’s just now way for a gentleman to be. Not that I’m a gentleman, but it’s still not the way one acts. I doubt a gentleman would shop Amazon for a high-end sword umbrella, but that’s the sort of thing I do.
I can guarantee two responses and only two responses for the unsuspecting recipient of an umbrella sword. One response is great joy and celebration. The other one is WTF? Even the elated person may be thinking WTF so you get both responses. Seriously though; there is no guy on the planet that is going to be upset that he received a sword umbrella from someone he loves. Think about it.
We’re going to finish up today discussing something that makes ol’ Scarydad sad. And that is, I had a chance to purchase the clock in the picture from a bankrupt furniture store for $1200. I made a ridiculous offer that the manager accepted, then, because I didn’t expect them to accept, I got scared. We were about to move and had no business buying large furniture weeks before. So I told them I’d be back and that was the lie.
Now I look at a certain corner of my greatroom and wish that I had just bought the darn thing. Click on the link and take a look at this Grandfather Clock. I kick myself sometimes. Mostly when I run out of other things to kick.
Damn it!
Hey nephew
whole series available on Netfix
It is, but Netflix requires a certain personal availability and time commitment. I must set aside time to watch the dvd and then it back to get another one. This is not too convenient when I find myself 3 weeks from now suddenly discovering that I have 45 minutes to kill and what now? No, Uncle, ownership is the only way to achieve satisfaction.
