Em caught one of our post-dinner impromptu dance parties on camera…let’s just say the boy’s footwork is on fire! On fire, I tell you! He is the lord of the dance! Only he opts for Fatboy Slim as opposed to Celtic folk…and instead of a dancing line of hot chicks, Owen’s got his dorky dad. [...]

As you know, Em and I are rather obsessive Mizzou hoops fans…so as you can imagine, after the Tigers won the Big 12 Tournament last weekend, March Madness was in full effect in our household.
Em and I both love the tourney, and are raising Owen to as well. We’ve filled out our brackets, and are [...]

I realized today that two significant cultural events are going on in the lives of Emily and I right now, and we have neglected to comment on either for you, our loyal readers (hi mom and Becky!):
1. Mizzou is the #10 college basketball team in the nation.
2. Tonight is the Academy Awards, and we managed [...]

As posted here, Owen got a ridiculously awesome Millenium Falcon from my parents for Christmas (well, technically I got the Falcon, but O-man’s the one who plays with it). He especially loves its array of sound effects.
One day as he was playing, I wondered: “How will Owen respond when he sees the Falcon in [...]

I have to admit, I’m a bit of a sucker for the not-so-new web phenomenon of mashing up movie trailers. But this one’s especially uncanny – the audio cut from the Dark Knight trailer with footage from Toy Story. Enjoy.

In the spirit of “The Holidays”, I figured we’d pay tribute to one of the less popular celebrations. I can’t wait for this year’s feats of strength!

Christmas Vacation is one of our favorites. We watched it a couple nights ago, and I was reminded that this scene is definitely my personal fav. Classic Cousin Eddie.
The black dickie under the white sweater. “Gettin’ the daughter cured off the wild turkey.” “Barkin’ for the yak woman.” It’s all just too much. So I’ll [...]

I saw this Mike Tyson’s Punch-Out t-shirt the other day (it was one of my all-time favorite Nintendo games). Then it hit me: Little Mac’s trainer, Doc Lewis, looks just like Stanley from The Office.
