I'm Baaaaack

Life has been far too exciting lately for someone of my lazy temperament.

Any time I have to go two weeks without watching 

Toddlers in Tiaras is basically three weeks 

without proper intellectual stimulation.

Don't give up on me! 

I have blog posts swirling about under the protective shell of my cranium 

that will curl the hair on your legs 

and restore your faith in America.

Work That Noggin

Last night I went to the high school talent show.  It was like being at a command performance at Lincoln Center and included such talent as

Highland Bagpipes          Poi

     

Ukulele Club

                  Beatles Cover Band

American Sign Language Class

 AND

My personal favorite...my son and seven friends performing a brilliant synchronized swim routine without water. 

I AM SO PROUD!!!

The only thing to mar my joy was a blockage directly in front of me that obscured my view of 1/3 of the stage.  It looked something akin to this

Do you remember this movie?   "So I Married An Axe Murderer" contains the finest description of large headedness ever recorded.


Stuart:  Look at the size of that boy's heed.
Tony:  Shhh!
Stuart:  I'm not kidding, it's like an orange on a toothpick
Tony:  Shhh, you're going to give the boy a complex.
Stuart:  Well, that's a huge noggin, That's a virtual planetoid.
Tony:  Shhh!
Stuart:  ...has it's own weather system
Tony:  Shhh!
Stuart:  HEED!  MOVE!  I'm not kidding, that boy's head is like Sputnik; spherical but quite pointy at parts.  Oh, now that was offside wasn't it?  He'll be cryin' himself to sleep tonight on his huge pillow.



I had my own personal planet orbiting in front of me at the talent show, but since I am trying very hard to be a cheerful, positive person I cranked my neck like a periscope to see around him and thought of all the useful things inherent in a ginormous cranium

• no one can stretch out your hats
• room for brain swelling in case of a blow to the head
• weight gain may create pleasing symmetry
• snap judgment=assumption of intelligence  
• makes a big nose look almost dainty
• provides shade in the sun and shelter in the rain for the rest of the body
• larger surface area makes it easier to head the ball playing soccer

Well now, I feel much better about large noggins.  Don't you?
