Did we win the pumpkin carving contest?

I did the hard work, but mom carved the picture.

So let's see what you've got! Pumpkin pics, costume pics, anything at all!

Sounds like the campout was a success

Aunt Theresa brought mom home. Mom was wearing her blue coat, a blue scarf, and a nice new blue knit cap.

Aunt Theresa asked me who mom looked like. I guess she had an answer in mind, but mine was better. She definitely didn't disagree with me.

I tried to get mom to dress up again so I could take a picture. I told her that everyone would know exactly who she looked like without a single hint. She refused to let me get a pic.

That doesn't stop me, because I think it works in reverse just as well. Mom looked like Violet Beauregard just as much as Violet Beauregard looks like mom:

Wart medicine is for WARTS

Do not try to remove moles with wart medicine. They really mean it when they say that you should be sure it is a wart before you use the medicine. Check it out:

So let's review.... If it's not a wart, do not use wart medicine!

Are you going to Heaven?

Catholic Heaven or Protestant Heaven?

It really does matter!



Sign me up for Catholic Heaven!

Do you have any kids studying astronomy this year?

Even if you don't, this is fun to play with! Celestia!

I think I saw Maggs series winning homer passing by one of Jupiters moons. I could be wrong though.

World Series Tickets

OAKLAND -- Individual game tickets for Tigers World Series games at Comerica Park will go on sale online and by phone next Monday, Oct. 16, *cough* Mark's birthday *cough* at 10 a.m. ET.

As was the case with Division Series and League Championship Series tickets, World Series tickets won't be available at the Comerica Park box office or at other in-person ticket outlets. They can be purchased at tigers.com.

Ticket prices start at $90, as set in accordance with Major League Baseball. Fans can buy up to four tickets per game as available.

Unlike the first two rounds, the schedule is set, as far as potential home dates for the World Series. Since the American League earned home-field advantage by winning the All-Star Game in July, whoever wins the ALCS will host Games 1 and 2 plus 6 and 7 if necessary. The first two games would be Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 21 and 22. Potential sixth and seventh games would be the next weekend, October 28-29.

All World Series games in Detroit are tentatively scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET starts.

Happy Birthday US Navy!

(flag motto of the first Navy Jack)

The United States Navy is 231 years old today. Everybody should take a minute to say a prayer of thanks to all of the brave men and women who have served, especially our brothers Mark and Mike.

UPDATE: Okay, the Navy's birthday was actually yesterday. My bad. Wouldn't hurt you to say a prayer anyway...

Bless You Boys!!!

I found this original 1984 Detroit Tigers video tonight on YouTube.

I love all these memories! Tiger Stadium, $4 parking, the dancing groundskeeper, Boy George (no I have no idea why he's there). This really makes me feel old!

Sparty On!!!!

(NOT ALL LINKS ARE CHILD FRIENDLY)

It is once again time for the big UM vs. MSU "rivalry". YAWN!!!!!

I'm planning on heading over to Brian's to watch the massacre. I just hope those couch burners can control themselves this year.

Kelly and Kevin are going to the big game. I'm sure she's going to join in the Spartan Cheer. Everybody has such a good time in the Spartan section. Probably helps them to forget about what is going on down on the field.

Some fun facts:

Michigan State has not won at the Big House since 1990.
No current Spartan has ever beaten Michigan.
There were about 10,000 rioters, 24 arrests, over 60 fires...

So everybody enjoy the game, and if you're a Spartan fan don't feel too bad. Maybe you can't go to a Bowl game, win the Big 10, or even win this game... We'll still give you a prize. Maybe a BLUE ribbon?

GO BLUE!!!

You thought the racoons were a problem.......
