  • Bertram Baggins

    Bertie is becoming a hobbit. { gallery [baggy] } Notice the bagginess in his chest area. And I always thought he looked more like a smeagol. (No offense, Bertie).

  • Mom and Dad

    It’s great having a jet set set of parents. They come to you on major holidays. I’m off to Kate’s to see Mom and Dad. I wonder, does having a blog make you into Doogie Howser M.D.? If so, where is Vinnie?

  • Bikes for Fat People

    Now here is a refreshing concept. Co-Motion Cycles of Eugene, OR is building a bike for riders 300 pounds and up. It is rugged as all get-up. It was prototyped by Rivendell so you know it’s good quality. It’s gonna be about $3000 which is kinda steep. But as Chris Hoffer, who rode the prototype…

  • Trip to the vet

    I took Bertie to the vet today. He was showing off for all the ladies. He flashed his orange and blue, climbed on the edge of his temporary cage, and acted very coy. He didn’t even flinch when they drew his blood. {gallery [2005_05_02]} I snapped some extra photos on my way home. You’ll see…

  • Obese Bart

    Great Simpsons episode tonight. Bart gets supersized after Principle Skinner signs a deal to bring in junk food vending machines to the elementary school. Has to go to fat camp, with hilarious consequences. With great lines like “I’m gonna cap a pop in your ass” and “Time to take out the Euro-trash”, it was very…
