Monty Pythons Spamalot ™ – Presented by AddictingGames
This is a fun Monty python flash game. You basically play either as a Stinky Frenchie or a Silly English Person (I only played as an English). If you play the English team, you have to catapult various barn animals at the approaching French, Black Knight and other characters in the movie. Fun stuff!

I came across this list of country-western song titles that should have never been released due to their rediculous titles. The only one I’ve heard of is “Does your chewing gum lose it’s flavor on the bedpost overnight” A good belly laugh for everyone on Friday.
Check them out:

Got home today and moved Chip’s litter box to the guest bathroom (sorry guests!). He seems to like it; peed right away (good boy!). Next step is to raise the litter box up 1-2 inches every couple days until it’s even with the toilet. Hah, we’ll see how that goes. He’ll probably knock it over!

I have a new endeavor. I’m going to toilet train Chip. Don’t laugh.
I’ve been researching it for quite some time, and Dr. Heekin said it’s definitly possible. Today I bought the CitiKitty toilet training kit and tonight begins the training!
I’ll be taking pictures of him throughout the process, hopefully he won’t mind.
It’ll probably take a few months, but it’ll be worth it in the end to never have a litter box again!

My hope is that Chip will look like this one day:

Last night we all had dinner at Brian and Ashley’s.  Curry and Sarah (Ashley’s parents) brought over a game for all of us to play; Mille Bournes. Mille Bournes is a car racing card game, getting points for collecting “miles” cards, and trying to stay on “roulez (go)” and avoid getting stopped by various predicaments like flat tires, accidents and speed limits.Â
Brian and I used to play this game in our 8th grade french classes. I remember the game being a big hit then (everyone was fighting for turns during free time), and it was again a huge hit last night. Even Paul who hates playing games had fun playing!
I definitly recommend getting this game if you are into faster-paced fun card games.Â

I listen to Air 1 Radio all the time (90.1FM for those in our area). I love listening to AirHead Trivia on days that I can catch it, it’s usually on about 11:00am daily. I sometimes try to get on it b/c the questions seem relatively easy…
Today I was driving back from a school visit with a kid, and called in and loe and behold I got through! I was going to be an AirHead trivia player! I was playing a welder (Devin) and a student (Kristin). I forgot where they were from.Â
The first question was: In bowling, if you knock down all pins with two balls you have scored a what?  We all chimed in at the same time, but Kristin squeaked hers in sooner and got it right with “a spare”
The second question was: What century are we living in? Again, we all chimed in at once, but Devin’s chime was heard first and he got a point for “21st”
The third question was: What device regulates the temperature in your house? I chimed in first and got a point for “thermostat”
That made a three-way tie 1-1-1.
The fourth question was: In the game of Cribbage, you move what to keep score? Even though I don’t play, I knew it was the game with the board and pegs, so I chimed in first and got a point for “pegs”
The fifth questions was: What are the three states of matter?  Devin chimed in first with “liquid, solid and gas” and got a point.
That put Kristin out of the running, and Devin and I had a tie-breaker question for the win.
The fifth and final tie-breaker question was: True/False: boxing is considered the sweet science. I was thinking true, but was too scared to chime in, thinking I’d lose the game. Devin chimed in about 6 seconds later and said “false” Since it was true, I WON!! I was the BIG AIRHEAD!
I won two Sanctus Real cds and a 1-year Bible. Cool :-) Congratulations me on my 15 minutes of fame!

This year we went to Shimmers (formally known as Barrett’s) in Ft. Wright. We got dinner, dessert and champagne, then hung out until the ball drop listening to Just Gravy. Some of Jim and Cathy’s friends play in the band, we’ve listened to them before and loved them.Â
The funniest part of the night was the ball drop. We were in the ballroom of Shimmers so there weren’t any TVs. The band stopped playing at about 2 till midnight, we got our champagne and headed to the dancefloor. We waited and waited, but no countdown. We started laughing because our cells phones said 12:01. At 12:02, the manager finally came running out of the kitchen yelling “7! 6! 5!….” Whoop-de-doo! So we basically missed it; it was pretty funny.
We had a great time though; good company & good music. Can’t ask for much more. Happy New Year everyone! And try to remember to write “07” on everything now!

Last night was the black belt Christmas party for Emily’s karate school. It was at the clubhouse of Sensei Steve’s apartment complex. The black belts all chipped in and got Sensei Steve an XBox 360! He was floored and immediatly plugged it in (of course). Merry Christmas everyone!
