2009 New Years Resolutions

As has been the custom on this site since 1994, I am posting my New Years Resolutions. I try to make mine easily attainable so I don’t get down on myself midway through the year.

  1. I resolve not to accept a Sloppy Joe from a Maori Cannibal
  2. I resolve not to incite our distant cousins—the Langurs—into an all-out revolt against their human overlords
  3. I resolve not to invent a beer called Stupid Douchebags Enjoying Time Off With Their Relatives
  4. I resolve not to watch any shows starring Howie Mandel, Rachel Ray or Abe Vigoda
  5. I resolve not to dress and act like a Drum Major in front of potential clients
  6. I resolve not to get a Tay Zonday tattoo
  7. I resolve not to dress like my pets
  8. I resolve not to grow vestigial limbs on my body
  9. I resolve to post more often in 2009 (for reals)
  10. What are your New Years Resolutions?

My Crazy Neighbors

OK, well they;re not direct neighbors. I’m a mile south of them. Every year this couple goes a little overboard with the decorating and packs on the weird—even for Royal Oak. Rather than describe it, I’ve recorded it on my cell phone so you too can share in our private hell.

If for some reason, you cannot view the video on this blog, here is the permalink.

This display will be up until around May or so, when they get ready for Halloween.
