Last night, Thing 2 (3) told us out of
the blue, "I love you more than 22
chickens."
That's a lot of chickens!

So if you watch Lost, you know that
Sun is pregnant, but Jin is shooting
blanks, so somehow the island got
her pregnant.
If you've never seen a Korean woman give
birth to a bouncing baby island, that is
some must see TV right there.
I even heard she wants to have the
baby island naturally, with no
pain medication...AWESOME!

For his birthday,
Thing 1 decided that he wanted to go
to Tahoe, and stay in a cabin rather
than having 4 million screaming friends
join us for the wonder that is Chuckie
Cheese's...Deniece and I were
terribly sad 8-)
Apparently 7 is the age when guys start
doing stupid stuff to get a laugh.
After birthday cake (brownies...another
of Thing 1's executive decisions), he
went outside, in the 14 degree snowy
weather, and did a bunch of laps around
the cabin....in his underwear.
Welcome to the fold young Thing 1:
I even
joined Thing 1 for a few laps.

A new season of Survivor started last
night. In celebration of the one
reality show I can stomach, Deniece and
I thought we'd make up a Survivor
drinking game to play. The rules were
simple.

Belt testing update. Deniece did perfect,
and broke her board on the second try. The
first try, her holder was looking away,
which you're supposed to do, but he was
looking in the mirror, so when the kick was
coming, he flinched, and moved the board a
little. He got told which way to look, and
told NOT TO MOVE, and her next attempt was
flawless. Thing 1 did everything perfect as
well. He got his board on the second
attempt too, and again, it was the holder's
fault he missed his 1st attempt (holding is
as important as the actual technique used to
break the board). His holder was a lower
belt with not a lot of experience holding
boards, and had it near Thing 1's head level,
and wasn't holding it at an angle, just
straight up. Thing 1 tried anyway, didn't
hit it clean, then the guy noticed how
everyone else was holding, and adjusted
himself, and lowered it to about Thing 1's
chest level. Second try was no
problem...stud. My testing went well too.

After years of research, and countless field
tests, I have discovered the Holy Grail
of low maintenance appearance for the lazy man.
A couple weeks ago, I got sick of my hair,
which I do every few months, so I went to the
garage, and shaved it off (real short, but not
gone). So then, I went
and took a shower to get the loose hair off of
me, and I was in, out, dried off, and dressed in
about 5 minutes, and I realized then, and there,
that the marriage of a shaved head, and a beard
might just be one of the best kept secrets ever.
Now granted, it may not be a great look
aestetically speaking, but I don't have to do a
damn thing to get ready. No shaving, no
combing, no gel. I need a bar of soap, and
toothpaste (yes, I often wash my hair with a bar
of soap...people have told me that's bad, but
they can never explain why).
Downside? Well, of course, there's a
downside to everything. The bummer about
this look is that I often get mistaken for a
1970's style GI Joe with Kung Fu grip...a small
price to pay if you ask me.
I just wish I had the scar.
Does my penis look weird in this picture?
If my calculations are correct (and I think
we can all safely assume they're not), the only
look that would be easier, would be if I were
naturally bald. A man can dream can't he?

2006, and I'm still waiting on my rocket
shoes, flying car, and meal in a pill. Get

Well, it's
almost Christmas, and I have a pulled groin
muscle. I am positive the two are related.

I love the holiday season, around October of
each year I begin to forget how much I dislike
people. Soon after Thanksgiving though, it all
comes rushing back to me, and I'm good for another
year.

Holy
bowel water batman! I have been sick since
last Wednesday night. The first night
consisted of barfing, and diarrhea, the next day was
all about stomach cramps, and more diarrhea.
Since then my stomach has been really fragile, I
don't eat very much, and of course there's the
diarrhea. I've lost between 5 and 6 pounds.
I've
been self-diagnosing on the internet, and I think
I'm going through something called a Spontaneous Sex
Change Affliction. I'm not sure how accurate
my diagnoses is, but women pee out of their butts
right? Well, I'm pretty sure they do anyway,
and now so do I.

I did tae kwon do at lunch on Monday, skated the
new Walnut Creek park on Tuesday, did tae kwon do
Tuesday night, and plan on skating today at lunch,
doing tae kwon do Thursday night, and skating Friday
at lunch. It seems like every muscle in my
body is sore. If my muscles were people, they
would be having union meetings right now, and I'm
pretty sure my body fat (strong union) would be
seeking government protection.

I like to think of myself as 'handy'. If
something breaks, I can usually dig in, figure out
how it's supposed to work, and then make it work.
I also like to think of myself as mentally
challenged, and accident prone.
I am a
self proclaimed toilet expert. I replaced all
the innards of one of our toilets last year without
incident...hooray for me. Fast forward 1 year,
and that same toilet now has broken lever (I bought
a cheap one). 'No problem, I'll pick one up
early Sunday' I tell myself on Saturday night.
Then I remember that the toilet in our bathroom has
been running a little too long, so I decide to
"check it out". One unfortunate fumble of the
ten pound tank cover later, and now we have two
broken toilets. Hooray for me!
As the water was rushing out ALL OVER THE PLACE,
Thing 2 who was standing in the doorway watching me
"fix" the toilet was terrified, and screaming, and
crying, "PEEEEEEEE!!!!! POOOOOOOO!!!!! I
can't turn the valve....water keeps coming...Deniece
brings towels...water keeps coming...Deniece brings buckets...can't turn the
valve....can't see, or get hand in the tank because
of the counter...water keeps running...bucket
filling fast...bucket overflowing...run to the
street to turn off the main..water stops...toilet
ruined....bathroom soaked....family stunned...me
idiot.
Toilet
expert?
Mmmm, not so much.
Final
Score:
Toilets = 2
Me = Complete Zero.
So, how was your Saturday night?

I won't miss this toilet. Look how ugly it is.
I think It
will look awesome in the front yard with weeds
growing out of it.

When I originally lost my site, I thought it
might be a good chance to set up a new site with an
all new look and feel, but for some reason, this
site looks exactly like my old one...that's called
laziness boys and girls.
I've gotten a few new boards I designed in the mail
in the last few weeks, check them out.
Ashland Sam Schoonerwoard Model
Ashland Pool board

Another Co-Op
There's more coming, and a couple I don't have
pictures of yet, so stay tuned.

We went on vacation, came home, and Tioem.com is
gone. My domain registration expired, and I
never got the normal email I usually get alerting me
to renew. As soon as it expired, one of those
crappy search engine place holder sites popped up,
apparently they had the domain name Tioem on
backorder...because that's such a good name
.
So, here we are, at TomLedin.com, oh well.
We met my parents at Disneyland, last week and it was really fun. I love that place. The boys had a great time.
Being
in The Magic Kingdom, and seeing my fellow
Americans, I came up with a great stock tip for you.
Find the company, or companies that make those
little 'Too Fat To Walk On Your Own Go-Carts", and
invest heavily. We're only getting fatter, and
it's only a matter of time before none of us can
walk under our own power. You can't miss with
this investment, believe me, I've been to Tomorrow
Land, and I've seen the future...and it's filled
with Gigantic fat people who are to tired from
digesting to be expected to walk on their own.
On that same subject, we had a nice new Southwest
plane for our flight home, and I noticed something
I've never seen before. The drop down trays
now have a nice curved indentation to make
room for our big fat bellies, where they used to be
straight across. Way to go Southwest, that's
the kind of forward thinking I'm talking about!
