Miscellaneous rambling, and bragging about my kids.

My oldest started kindergarten this week. Last night we were at an open house for the parents, where we snuck under the chained off section of hallway to go take a look at her classroom. Among the typical array of crafts, books, and educational materials was….a signed picture of George W. Bush, hanging on the wall.

What's more troublesome, the political statement being made…or the educational one? Don't worry about learning how to form a complete sentence, kids! You can still be president!

On second is where how?

Perhaps Chris Benoit was not a monster after all.  It's already been shown that he was not on "roid rage."  But that doesn't go far toward explaining why he came home one day and killed his wife and child, and then himself.  Well there's a new report floating around, released by his dad and apparently confirmed independently, that Benoit had significant brain damage from the years of concussions he suffered, and that his brain at the time of the deaths resembled "an 85yr old Alzheimer's patient."

It's not an excuse.  It's not even necessarily a reason.  But for those of us that can only possibly accept "he was not in his right mind" as the only explanation, this lends a little more validity to that argument.

For no real reason this weekend, on the ride over to the inlaws, I asked my daughters, "Ok, now, which princess married Prince Charming, and which one married The Prince?" (It helps if you know that, in Snow White, the prince is only ever referred to as, "The Prince.")

"Cinderella," they said.

"Which one did Cinderella marry?"

"Prince Charming."

"Ok, which one did Snow White marry then?"

"Prince Charming."

"I thought one of them married The Prince."

"They all did. Ok, ok, Daddy, ok, wait. I know them all. There's Eric."

"Ok, he was with Ariel."

"And Phillip."

"Sleeping Beauty."

"And Aladdin of course."

"Right, of course, he was with Jasmine."

"And Prince Charming married Cinderella. That's all of them."

"What about Snow White?"

"Prince Charming."

"I thought Cinderella married Prince Charming?"

"She did."

"And so did Snow White? Can she do that?"

"Daddy! They were two princes different charming."

Two princes different charming? I think I broke her brain.

The case is the wwe is going down hill because of drugs and the death of this wrestlers the wwe is still making $$$$$ of the dead wrestlers and that is not ok because this wrestlers have family and bills like everybody else and the wwe still making $$$$$ of the wreslers. I hope Nancy Benoit family gets money from the wwe. I hope Chris Benoit two other kids get alot of money from the wwe because Chris Benoit is not coming back to suppot his kids. Rest in peace Chris Benoit and Nancy Benoit and Daniel Benoit.

You need to hang out with more black folks. Higher chance of at least a "Dwayne" there.

Making the rounds this morning is the story about how to piss off the Shaolin monks. Apparently somebody got on a bulletin board someplace and started spouting off the old legends about how a ninja could walk into the Shaolin Temple and kick some serious Shaolin behind. The monks are quite upset at this besmirching of their honor, apparently not getting the joke, and have demanded an apology.

Personally my feeling is this. If *you* are not the ninja in question, then why in the world would you want to piss of the Shaolin monks? Have you ever actually seen this guys in real life? It doesn't really matter if a ninja could take them or not, it only matters if you could. After you've insulted them, how about inviting them over to dinner?

Maxim has their list of new fall shows they won't be watching. Several I hadn't even heard of. Everybody is just baffled over the whole "Cavemen" thing, where the guys from the tv commercials get their own show. But does anybody remember Dinosaurs? A primetime show where a bunch of people in rubber dinosaur suits basically acted out the Flintstones. That one worked pretty well.

Just got off the phone with a guy named Duane. First time in my life that's ever happened. I've never even been in the same room with somebody that has my name, nor the same team or anything. The closest I'd ever come, before now, was when somebody I worked with was working with a vendor who had a rep named Duane. I'd walk down the hall and hear the guy say, "Hey Duane, it's Adam" and I would turn around every single time, only to discover that he was talking on the phone.

It was a bit freaky. I don't know how people named Dave or Brian do it. I was once on a team with 4 Davids and found them all in the same cube at the same time. I said "Dave!" and they all turned around. Stuff like that's funny to me :).

Someone else killed Chris Benoit and his Family, someone that did not like Chris Benoit and his family because the Benoit Family had it all money and fame. This case does not make sense because Chris Benoit was a nice dad and a nice husband and he loved his family vary much and I hope they Find the the people Responsible that killed this Family. Rest in peace Chris Benoit and Nancy Benoit and Daniel Benoit.
