For Christmas we bought my nephew the coolest Fisher-Price set.  It’s a Nativity set.  It’s a very quality set with a lot of nice pieces.

The pieces are all high quality and the set even plays "Away in a Manger".  I salute Fisher-Price for making this set – however, there’s one minor problem.  One of the pieces is a pig.  A pig was considered an "unclean" animal and no respectable Jewish shepherd would be raising pigs.

It’s a bit funny, that they would go all this way and make this nice quality set and goof up on adding a pig.  I’ve been looking online and most sets don’t have the pig anymore, so maybe someone at Fisher-Price caught on and updated the site.

My wife and I have coined a new phrase: Turdis.  The origin has to do with the BBC show Doctor Who.  For those of you who don’t know, Doctor Who travels in time & space with his TARDIS (Time and Relative Dimensions in Space).  The Tardis is broken to remain looking like a police call box.  Well… a number of outhouses in the area are small, blue and look like the Tardis.  So we now call them a "Turdis" because they aren’t quite a Tardis.

Once Webster’s calls, we’ll get it into the next version of the dictionary.

Here’s episode 6 of my cartoon Stop and Pay Toll…

A sign near our place…

Would you trust someone to handle your finances if they can’t spell the word “foreclosure”???

Earlier this week, complete nutball Jeff Peckman released a video to the world proving once and for all that aliens do exist.

…or well… maybe… uh… it could be a giant plastic mask… or a rubber head… or a million other things.  Yeah… I’m sure the video is going to make believers out of everyone… sheesh…

Here’s ep 5 of Stop & Pay Toll.  In the doctor’s office…  Enjoy.

Here’s installment #4 of Stop & Pay Toll: The Drug Test.

The idea for this one actually came from my old Latin teacher.  Goofing around in class one day, he said that one of the other students would study for anything including a drug test.  Maybe it’s an old joke… but I thought it was pretty funny.
