Thursday February 2 2006. IRS STANDS FOR "INCOME REALLY SMALL."
  What does it say about me when my biggest source of income is my federal tax return?
ALPO CAKE. DORK.

  I usually have a very strict No Dorky Pet Birthday Parties Rule, but I waived them for Beth and her mutt--just this once. Luke's whatever-th birthday rolled around, so I threw him a little party (no, I didn't invite any other pooches over, mainly because he doesn't have any friends--just like us). I made up some party hats that said "Bumpus Hound Birthday" on them and I bought him a few easy-to-destroy squeaky toys and assorted chewy treats. I even made him a cake by overturning a can of Alpo onto a plate (note for next time: either have someone else blow out the candle or else don't light it at all).
  I'm not sure how much he cared, but I did make big points with the wifey.

TIMBER! CONTRIBUTIONS.

  Question: If a tree falls in your backyard in the middle of the night and you're too drunk to hear it, does it make a sound?
  Or: If a tree falls and takes out a big section of your neighbor's fence, will he be pissed off?
  (The answer is no, to both questions.)

  Speaking of income, I am proud to report that I am now a financially contributing member of the Arnold household. Finally. The newsletter business has been quite good in the past few months and I'm funneling a bit of the profits towards bills and such. Of course, it's not a lot of money, but at least I have value around here (beyond being the househusband, of course).

5 MONTHS OUT. Timber!, Dork, IRS Stands For "Income Really Small," Big Turd, Go Duke, Contributions, 5 Months Out, and Alpo Cake.
  Uh oh. The Vegas Planning Committee has convened. Don't worry: I'll spare everyone the gory details of what is sure to be a drawn-out and ridiculous circus of show choices, hotel picks, and trip dates.
  Just like Barney said, all I need is a blackjack table, a cocktail waitress, and a seat.
GO DUKE. BIG TURD.
  Just to be obnoxious, I've adopted Duke as my new favorite college basketball team. And since Bethy went to UNC, she gets quite annoyed with me when I say things like, "Hey, there's my boy--J.J. Redick!"
  Heh. I guess marriage hasn't made me a nicer person, has it?
  This so-called "work of art" is actually a hoax and it's definitely on the outer edges of the world of conceptual art, but it is quite amusing. If you're easily offended, I wouldn't click on that first link, if I were you (the second one is okay, it's just an article).
  Yes, I suppose this is just an open invitation for more rudeness in the Comments Section...
