This Is Silly!

13 year old kid, looks like he has a pretty good handle on the hot dog portion of the game!

I want a Hippopotamus for Christmas

Uh, I don’t mean to alarm you all, but Christmas is 7 days away. Somehow the whole thing has snuck up on me. So I haven’t bought any of you anything. I’m saving that for the 24th (Pa taught me well).

Now for the most important blog of the year. The HappyGapper Wish list.

For Christmas I want:

-A sliding 12 inch mitre saw with laser guide and stand.
-18 rolls of various household and industrial adhesive tape.
-A Bullmastif pup name Oggie.
-A pair of black Casual shoes to replace EVERY SINGLE PAIR OF SHOES THAT I EITHER THREW OUT OR LOST DURING MY RECENT RELOCATION!
-A pardon from the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce for any outstanding loan or Credit Item in my name.
-A 45 gallon drum to be used as a burning barrel for my place, so I can warm myself near its glow like a New York vagrant.
-A map to the money tree that everyone seems to have access to, except me.
-ONE FRIGGIN HMO VICTORY!
-A Lottery ticket that will be but one number off in each of my 6 picks (admit it, that would be pretty cool).
-A trip to Scotland for research purposes for my next Luau appearance.
-A recipe for mom’s patented butter tarts that won’t take all day or make a mess.
-A car that runs on swear words and hand gestures.

There it is. Shop wisely people. I must warn you that most of these items are somewhat pricey, so take a trek down to the money tree before you hit the mall.

Hi-dilly ho neighborino

So in the past few weeks I moved not only into out new home, but into a new office building. Talk about new beginnings!

I’m not even going to try and promise daily blog updates or anything, but I am going to have much more time to do these sorts of things now that the pace has slowed somewhat, except for hauling, gathering and splitting firewood for my two wood burning stoves…

The Humor Me Online deadline is fast approaching and I need to top up my points in an effort to score some major swag. I have had a significant boost in points so now I am writing with fury to win as many things as I can, and if you’ve seen the prizes and their cost, I may end up with a cork or something.

Christmas is coming soon, look in for “Jim’s wish list” along with a few fresh ideas for funny.
