The Colicky Clown A Bottle of Whiskey and an Attitude

I am, at present, typing, drinking Sake and eating a cheesy bagel surprise. The surprise is how cheesy it is. Another surprise is that I am not morbidly obese, or even obese at all, but isn't morbidly obese a fascinating phrase?

One day, someone in the medical community was trying to decide how to describe the situation where a person is obese to the point that even the imagination cannot fathom the size. Instead of excessively or superbly or shockingly or any other adjective, the chosen word was morbidly.

During Christmas time, the crowds gather around the squares in the towns around our house when the parades are scheduled to meander by. As they march by, scouts and dancers, cadets and clowns, politicians and DJ's throw candy at the people. This is how they demonstrate the Spirit of Christmas to the masses.

When I sit down at my computer, my kids crowd around as if I am going to throw candy at them. Sometimes I'll find a video on the net or maybe play some fun music for them. Mostly, I'm just trying to do something I have to finish.

There are a lot of vile toys for preschool children. I am sad to say that Kasey the Kinderbot is not an exception. Only the extra-dimensional existence of my 4-year-old, MC, has saved Kasey from the landfill by making him ... her ... it ... a source of comic relief.

Imagine if Kasey, who was a long-time interactive feature of Wal-Mart toy sections, had an evil twin....
