iYakima


So! If you if/when you have kids or whatever you'll learn that most families belong to one of two groups... Disney or Nickelodeon. One has Wiggles, PB&J, ect. The other has SpongeBob, Dora, ect. Our family is the Nickelodeon group, ourselves and on Nickelodeon there's a teen/pre-teen lineup of shows like Zoey 101, Drake n Josh and a new one called iCarly.

Without going into any more detail than all that, I'm familier with iCarly but haven't actually watched any episodes, but my sister (with a 14 year old daughter) does. Apparently they had an episode where Grandpa showed up to have her move in with him in Yakima (or YAK uh muh as they pronouced it). The episode is on YouTube is you care that much. A couple of quote from the show...

"No great town can be named Yakima. It sounds like someone threw up!"
"I can't cheer up, I'm moving to Yakima. I'm going to be a Yakimite... or Yakimanician."

Being from Yakima, born and raised, this is funny.

Sign from above?

Sometimes, when you're bored, you'll flip through the channels because your mind is so frayed that it doesn't have an attention span to watching anything, so you keep flipping for a while, only to pause for a few seconds if it happens to be a cartoon or a tiger ripping something apart.

But have you noticed that when you get up, maybe to go to the fridge or to answer the phone... it's almost ALWAYS on one of the gospel channels? Maybe it's just me.

The English Horse

Mel Blanc was Looney Toons. I don't think he did Granny or any of the house wives, but he did Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck and all the other characters... including some of the SFX. Here's a clip of him and Jack Benny (one of my idols) on Johnny Carson. The 'English Horse' thing cracks me up every time.

New Logo

Many probably noticed this at first glance... it took me a few weeks to see that the new Baskin Robbins logo has the number 31 in the B and R (look at only the pink).

New Riggs

Holy New Posts! Yeah, I've been a little busy... new baby and all. But, we had our boy recently. Jaron and Mommy are doing great and you can tell what kind of dedicated father I am... you can clearly see my Nintendo DS on the window sill
