We were recording a new show this morning, and while Noah and Andy kept trying to drag things off topic (which they did several times) the mentioned the song Bubblegoose by Wyclef Jean.
I didn’t remember the reference at first, but when I was editing the show, I remembered it was featured on South Park back in the day…
I’m not sure they meant this version, but I used to love that CD. I have no idea where it is now. That kinda bums me out, but thank the good lord for YouTube and those who are willing to break copyright laws so the rest of us don’t have to get off our butts and look for the CDs we’ve lost. You’re all American heroes!

Before I get to the story of how I found out about the Avengers: Age of Ultron trailer, lets just watch it again, shall we?
So excited about this movie. I think I could watch that trailer everyday until the novie comes out. But here’s how I found out that the trailer was online Read the rest of this entry »
Let me tell you, friends, I was not joking. That happened on the drive t work this morning and my neck still hurts and it’s almost midnight. All I did was scream and all of a sudden my neck seized up on the right side. I think the slow driver in front of me must have been into witch craft or something. Now, when I want to turn my head I have to do the bat turn…
Your pal Tim is falling apart in front of your eyes. Save meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

I am old! I am a sad, old man.
On Saturday I participated in the Bay Area Buddy Walk in San Jose to raise money to aid the National Down Syndrome Society. It was a fun day out with my family and we raised some money for a good cause.
See? Tim is not a 100% jerk-face
However, that was almost 5 days ago. My back still hurts. Like a lot. Like if I turn my head too fast I wincing in pain hurts. It’s not like the Buddy Walk was 15 miles or something. It was maybe a quarter mile.
What happened to my once magnificent body? Ok…”magnificent” might be strong, but at least adequate. Now I’m just a pile of failure wrapped in a skin bag. Don’t be like me kids. Save yourselves. Stop reading this and go for a jog or something. Or whatever these kids do to stay in shape.
Now if you’ll excuse me, leaning over to type is hurting my already sore back.

For some reason, Curious George is a beloved series of books that has been around forever. Despite the fact that his first adventure begins with him being kidnapped from Africa and brought forcibly to America, parents seem to love to share these tales with their kids.
But really, every Curious George story has the same horrible moral. Here is a handy flowchart for nearly every Curious George book. (This also applies to the tv show)
There’s your moral kids, do what you want. There is no consequences. This seems to be a running theme in kids books.

I had a friend post the following in her Facebook feed:
At first I got all those warm feelings a parent is supposed to get when he sees a list like this. But then I thought, this list could use a critique and I need a blog post…win/win!
Be there.
If you need this advice, you will not heed this advice.
Say yes as often as you can.
What the **** does that mean? The only way to love a child is to give them whatever they want? That’s a great recipe to have a crappy child and an even crappier adult.
Or perhaps they just want us to say the word “yes” as often as you can pausing only to eat, sleep, and breathe? How does that love a child?
Let them bang on pots and pans.
That’s a valid point, kids need to have fun…but lets put a time limit on that. Kids will bang on the pots until they fall over from exhaustion. Meanwhile everyone else in the house is going nuts. “I…Can’t…hear…my own…thoughts!!!” Read the rest of this entry »
