...That could pass for a photo in our family album.<br /><br />My cousin would destroy all his toys in a matter of an hour or two on Christmas morning. For example, he would ram a toy fire engine into a wall repeatedly (a "crash").<br /><br />Once he got a Stretch Armstrong and wanted to find out what was in it. He got a knife and eviscerated it. Turns out Stretch was made of a kind of syrup. We put him in the freezer to stop him bleeding. We forgot about him, though, and it wasn't until early summer that we retrieved him from cold storage. He was as hard as a rock. We threw him away. (By contrast, my Stretch Armstrong remained protected and uninjured for years and years, no matter how much he bored me.)<br /><br />Memories.Davidhttp://david-passingparade2.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-27500953415451611292013-12-22T07:15:02.447-08:002013-12-22T07:15:02.447-08:00Well, I was able to trace my ancestority through m...Well, I was able to trace my ancestority through my great-grand father Mr Pitchford and his mother a Utley goes back to Mass in the 17th century there is a street called Utley street in Dartmouth Mass near New Bedford. The High School is almost all white. Only 3 percent Asian and 2 per black and 2 percent Hispanic. Maybe, our ancestors going south or west wasn't such a great deal. A house sold in the area for 240,000 not that expense and property tax was under 3,000. Maybe income tax would be high but I don't think the cost of living is all bad in the north east from the information on got on Dartmouth Mass. So, in this forum when we attack the blue states maybe they are not as bad as we think.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-10380439918093385432013-12-21T17:42:20.806-08:002013-12-21T17:42:20.806-08:00That is a pitiful Christmas tree.That is a pitiful Christmas tree.Sluggonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-57557494657754736442013-12-21T11:05:06.972-08:002013-12-21T11:05:06.972-08:00The tent seems strangley anachronistic.

I was demonstrating my Home Theater and addressing the vexing question "Is Dolby 5.1 enough or do you really need 7.2". I played it loud enough to shake the walls and rattle the windows - anything to prove a point scientifically.<br /><br />As Bourne eluded the wolves and drones I pointed out that you can now buy a real working drone just a couple blocks away at the local 7-11. They sell two models, a big one and a smaller one - presumably for those who have access to C4 versus those who must make do with heavier explosives. <br /><br />In the ancient innocent days of your Christmas picture, that tank wasn't really an effective weapon of war. But today, real assassin's tools are sold next to the burritos. <br /><br />AlbertosaurusPat Boylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13477950851915567863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-23747917735696596292013-12-21T08:26:43.663-08:002013-12-21T08:26:43.663-08:00Crawling babies are a bit like Tonka trucks.
