Packed in Like Sardines

There is no way, NO WAY, I’d live like this. To avoid being stuffed into a situation where I couldn’t breathe (God forbid someone FARTS, or has bad breath, or forgets to put deodorant on that day, or sneezes, or COUGHS, or needs to throw up), I would wait HOURS for the crowds to subside. Seriously. I would just hole up in a cafe somewhere and read or something.

Just watching this video makes me hyperventilate. I wouldn’t go so far as to say I have claustrophobia, but situations like these, where I find it hard to get a breathe of fresh air, definitely drive me to the panic edge. I’m pretty sure I’d have a panic attack.

This is just insane. How can this even be safe?! What if the car breaks down? What if you’re in the middle of that mess and your stop comes up? How in the world can you squeeze through and get off?

Does anyone else find this nuts? Have you ever ridden in a subway car THIS crowded before?

P.S. I found this gem via @agentninety9 on Twitter. If you’re not on Twitter, why not? You’re missing some pretty cool stuff. Follow me and let’s waste time together. 😀

P.S.S. On an unrelated note – do you realize that 5 Minutes for Mom’s Ultimate Blog Party is coming?? I’d tell you just how terribly excited I get when this annual blog party comes around, but I’d likely scare you, so suffice it to say, I CAN’T WAIT! (5 Minutes for Mom haven’t announced when the 2010 party is yet, but if they follow years past, it should be the last week in March. Mark your calendars!)

Three Women in Mexico

Three women go down to Mexico one night to celebrate college graduation, get drunk, and wake up in jail, only to find that they are to be executed in the morning, though none of them can remember what they did the night before.

The first one, a redhead, is strapped in the electric chair and is asked if she has any last words. She says, “I just graduated from Trinity Bible College and believe in the almighty power of God to intervene on the behalf of the innocent.” They throw the switch and nothing happens. They all immediately fall to the floor on their knees, beg for forgiveness, and release her.

The second one, a brunette, is strapped in and gives her last words. “I just graduated from the Harvard School of Law and I believe in the power of justice to intervene on the part of the innocent.” They throw the switch and again, nothing happens. Again they all immediately fall to their knees, beg for forgiveness and release her.

The last one (you know it), a blonde, is strapped in and says, “Well, I’m from the University of Georgia and just graduated with a degree in Electrical Engineering, and I’ll tell ya right now, y’all ain’t gonna electrocute nobody if you don’t plug this thing in.

Baby Loves Banjo

Vodpod videos no longer available.

Isn’t this baby the sweetest?! I swear, that little person is from the Ozarks cause we loves our banjo in these here parts!

*SQUEE!* Oh, this brings back soooo many memories!

Did you ever use one of these baby bouncers? I had one and both boys loved it. Only ours didn’t come with a handy tray and I had to put an old towel under them because the bouncing motion would often make them spit up.

But they used up so much energy bouncing that they slept like … well … like babies. 😀

(In fact, note to self: Ask Kevin to capture some of the video of the boys bouncing in their bouncy chair and post on YouTube channel).

Santa, Your Beard is Coming Off

This is just too good NOT to pass on to you.

This is one of my nieces, and two of my nephews, doing what they do best – being kooky and adorable all at the same time.

Vodpod videos no longer available.

(RSS readers – you’ll have to click over to see the video. Sorry about that! But truly, it’s cute and totally worth it. *smile*)

MERRY CHRISTMAS, PEEPS!
