Steaming Piles, Mumford and Omar

Cole and Skyler ended up at my abode Friday night, they plopped on the couch and yelped "What's for Dinner Poppa Chris?" So we  headed to Kroger where I picked out some veggies and choice meat, since they declined the regular pizza, while Cole stomped around the store exclaiming "I hate Kroger(He works there), they can suck it!"  When the kids say it does not matter what they eat as long as you cook it, don't believe them. Some one hour and 30 minutes after we sojourned Kroger, I served up steaming hot plates of veggies and chicken bratwurst. They were so very pleased to eat but the looks of "WTF" on their face as they picked around the veggies told another story. They brought their plates back and told me they were just not as hungry as they had thought. Next time we'll eat bean burritos and have farting contests.

Saturday morning I woke up and made three new 8.0 popsicles, fixed up eggs for the Buttercups and made passage to the great skatepark of Munford, Tennessee. A contest we ventured out where prize money and other goodies  were suppose to be the end results. We made it to Munford after circling the park several times lost, only to find out that the contest was a game of SKATE. Its kind of like a game of HORSE on the B-Ball court but skate tricks. Not sure what happened after that because instead of competing for the accumulation of dollar bills all I saw Skyler do was blast Melons 10ft into the air off the mini ramp. After collecting some video and strange looks from the locals we piled back in the Civic and drove back to Memphis.

Once we got back to Memphis, Cole left me with the Anklebiter Skyler as he headed to work at the Southhaven Kroger. Anklebiter and I imported video and began editing footage while Pizza (this time) cooked in the oven. By 10:30 I was headed off to sleep while Skyler stayed up until 2am editing video. Just before I went to bed he showed me some clips using a fast forward effect which I liked, for that scene only. The next day we got the video up on YouTube. You will see the Melon I was talking about, after that step back from the screen at least two feet and then squint a little, trust me.

The first response from our contingent in North Carolina (aka Roadkill) was that it caused him to have vertigo,  he had to lay down for a short while after watching it then thought about stabbing himself with a  pencil.  But that is OK, we won't let that happen again for I have sent my friend in North Carolina enough meds to counteract his response. Another friend said that he thought the song was really gay. I guess not everybody likes Sonic Youth these days, more or less a Teenage Riot. The only solution is to have our supervising art director to step in and make Skyler behave. I guess the moral to the video is not to overuse certain effects since they can make people sick to their stomach and have to induce vomiting.

And Finally we gave birth to a new Omar this Sunday around 5pm.
