Today's palindrome is half in Spanish:
"Tiburon! No rub it!"
For those of you going to the beach, consider yourselves warned.

End of the school year palindrome: for the NBA finals.
Oy, Hoop Star! Rats pooh, yo!

Concerning May 21, 2011.
I've always had kind of a soft spot (no, not that one--my fontanelle closed quite nicely weeks ago) for Weird Al Yankovic. I mean, he's not REALLY funny, but he's got something about him that I just have to appreciate. It's a certain I know not what that makes me chuckle. This, of course, is not surprising to anyone who has had a taste of what I'm going to call my "sense of humor." (If I put that in quotes, you get to choose whether or not to agree with my meaning. Seriously. My brother is a lawyer now, and he may or may not have told me that was true.) Anyhoo, I'm continually surprised at the staying power Weird Al has--again, not necessarily for me, but for the constant stream of up-and-coming immature adults-to-be. My son, for instance, has had "Eat It" in constant rotation for the past month (and this is without an actual recording of the song--I'm either extremely happy or unhappy that he only seems to know one verse).
But, this is not the point of my post. This is: I've been reading articles about the impending Rapture (and knew I had to get this posted quickly--of course, most people who read my blog [all four of you] will probably not getting raptured [can you use that as a verb?], but I wanted it to be available to all), and it's really kind of fascinating. Then, Weird Al kicked in. So, here it is: (this is the second time I've threatened to tell you--I must be getting serious):
7. 5-21 is a Joke
8. Hot down Herre
9. Jesus Came Back
10. It's All About Revelations
Okay, this really isn't funny, but what IS funny is that I got a number of these songs from a list called "The Top 10 Rap Songs White People Love" (and I found out that most of my "rap" knowledge is approximately 20 years old). I do wish it were funnier.
Comment! Especially if you're around after 3 a.m.

What's that smell?
Me (after smelling something suspiciously gassy): "Whew! Who tooted?"
The Boy (totally straight-faced, and probably without any malice): "Maybe it's just your breath."

Kids' conversation.
Girl: "Boy, do you like 'Pride and Prejudice'?"
Boy: "No, it's for girls."
Girl: "Who's your favorite person? I like Elizabeth Bennett. Do you like Mr. Darcy? He's a boy. Boys like boys."
Boy: "No, it's for girls."
Apparently we've had Pride and Prejudice on frequently enough for the girl (5 years old) to fall in love with the story already, but not long enough for the boy (7 years) to identify with Mr. Darcy just yet.

Superfuzz Bigmuff 2: Electric Boogaloo.
Grew what's left of my hair out again. It got big and furry. Then it got warm, so it needed cut. I couldn't think of what to give my wife for her birthday, so I sold my hair for a new watch chain (that joke never gets old). Anyway, the girl came in after I was done cutting and said, "Now you're even MORE balder, daddy!"
Thank you for the ego boost, darling.
Then, a few minutes later, when I was in the shower, she opened the bathroom door and shouted, "You look like Dwight Eisenhower!" She giggled, then ran off.
She has a placemat of the presidents. And, what do you know, I DO look like Eisenhower. In a follicle nature, that is.

An excerpt from the boy's homework.
Can you guess which of these words was a misspelled spelling word?
"Carlos opened all the widows to let in the fresh air."
I'll see if I can attach a picture later. Not of the widows. Or of Carlos opening them. But of the sentence itself.
