Funny Photos 2009

The holidays have come and gone. The decorations are down, and we are all well on our way to forgetting our new years resolutions. This is also when the blah-ness sets in. I like to call it the khaki time of year. Right about now all the clothing stores stock enough blah brown in various shades to redo your entire wardrobe in nondescript dullness. It's a fitting comparison to how many people feel right about now. For us singles this blah-ness will continue until Feb 15th, but there always hope. You just have to find the little patches of happiness to cheer up this khaki state of mind.

So here are some silly photos I snapped during 2009, that may just make you smile.

Diet Coke Frosty

Just in case you doubted your high school physics teacher, we have proof that water (and Diet Coke) expand when frozen. Thanks for this science lesson, Michelle. Mr. Merrill would be proud. :)

Diorama: The Land of Boredom


This is what happens when I am stuck sitting at a table with my fellow chaperon in a strange boys apartment until 3 am. What you're looking at here is a diorama of the magical land of Boredom. This is of course the ritual sacrifice of the bananas to their god and ruler Hot Tamales. I wonder why I never did a posting just about that? It's a great story. Thanks again Jaxon for your input. I couldn't have done it with out you. Well, I probably could have, but it wouldn't have been nearly as funny. :)

Black Lagoon:

Do you get the feeling my neighbors are upset about something?

Awesome Object Lesson

And who doesn't love a good object lesson? Today's topic: The Whole Armor of God. For some reason I never considered the possibility that the helmet could look so much like Optimus Prime.

Boxing Lesson

This takes the adage "a good offense is a good defense" a little too literally. You never need to learn to block when your gloves cover your entire torso. Thanks for the demonstration my compadre who shall remain nameless (and faceless).


'Nough Said
So what if it's not Easy Street, Wall Street, or even Sesame Street? It's good enough. This would be a good place for Mr. Roger fans to live. It would be your daily affirmation that you're good enough and that Mr. Rogers likes you just the way you are. :)

Well, there you have it, some of my favs for the year. I hope they brightened your day just a bit.

Some awesome pictures!!! What were you doing chaperoning a boy until 3 AM? And the picture of the teacher at church is priceless!!!!

I agree with you about this time of year as well... blah!

The chaperoning is something I hope to never do again. It was a favor for a friend who didn't really know the guy whose house she was going. Little did I know that I'd be there, confined to the kitchen table, with the guy's roommate for 5+ hours.
