So Monday and Thursday’s blogs ruined Beauty and the Beast, Friday’s blog was about my dead father, and yesterday’s blog was about the sadness of growing old…I decided today we needed some joy up on this blog. Not joy at the expense of others either. No Tosh.0 nut shots or jokes at the expense of Sarah Palin or Comcast. Just happiness for the sake of happiness.
So, what makes me happy? Well, I love dogs and I love babies. Could there be a way to combine those two loves? Of course there is….this is the internet. And so I present to you over five minutes of babies laughing at dogs!
…I think my soul is growing back.
Today is my birthday. I’m officially on the downward slide to 40 now. That sucks. Getting old just sucks. Not for the usual reasons. I mean, yes, my body is falling apart. I can’t eat like I used to. My eyes don’t work as well anymore…and technology is slowly passing me by, but that’s not my problem with getting old.
I finally have a Star Trek costume, a Superman costume, a Darth Vader costume, and a bunch of other cool things I’ve wanted since I was a kid. But now when I wear them, I’m just the creepy old guy dressed up like a guy from Star Trek. Since I was in high school, I wanted a Trek uniform so I could film myself and edit myself into an episode of the show. A few years ago I did…
That’s all well and good…but the dude in that video is almost old enough to run for president. What was I thinking? I’m not some 20 year old who has an excuse to run around and be an idiot. I’m just a sad, immature thirty-something who looks ridiculous. I know my 20 year old self would call this guy a loser. But forget hypothetical, younger me, what about when my son grows up and sees this?
“Really, dad? This is how you spent your free time? C’mon, you can level with me…I was adopted right? No? Maybe mom had an affair with an actual grown up? No? So you actually felt like your DNA was worth passing along to the next generation? Ugh…NO, that was not a reference to the show. Wow, pop, you’re a freak. I got you something for Father’s Day…pity!”
But I still want to do stupid, silly stuff…I just don’t want to be this old while I’m doing it. But unless that fountain of youth has been discovered…oops…just checked, it has not…well then I have two choices: grow up and act like an adult or embrace the fact that I’m now a creepy old guy.
…say hello to Tim Babb the creepy old guy. (but don’t get too close, or take candy from him….move along)
That adorable little baby up there is yours truly. The man watching over him is my dad. Today would have been his 79th birthday. I’ve missed him every day since he died 5 and a half years ago, but I’ve especially missed him since I’ve become a father. I don’t get to ask him for advice, I don’t get to benefit from his fatherly wisdom, but most of all I don’t get to introduce him to his adorable grandson. Read the rest of this entry »
A few days ago, I wrote a blog about how I think the Enchantress from Beauty and the Beast is actually an evil, evil witch. I was super proud of myself and my analysis until I read a comment from Jesus:
BTW, was chip BORN a cup?! Ten years, their human bodies didn’t age, so we can assume chip was either born a cup or was already a 10 year old boy. Also, there were other living teacups, were they children too? How many kids did Mrs. Potts have?!
Oh my lord…Chip!
What could I have done to deserve this?
This may be the most acute case of fridge horror ever. That’s a little kid…transformed into a cup. Jesus says the human bodies don’t age during the spell, but the Beast looks way older than 11 when he turns back into a regular dude. I must assume then that their bodies have indeed aged while cursed. That leaves three possible scenarios to explain Chip…all of them bad… Read the rest of this entry »
With all that got talked about on the latest episode of TANcast, we didn’t get around to discussing one particular topic until after we were done recording. It all goes back to Saturday night when Noah sent Andy and me a text…
There is a white lady on Bart that is looking at me like she wants to fuuuccckkk. She is cougar status. Does cougar mean they are hot too?
To which Andy replied:
Yes.
I believe the ability to land a younger man is a requirement for cougarhood.
Not so fast, Andy. Now Tim steps in…
Technically, you only have to be older to be a cougar
And a debate was born. I asked my wife who thought the woman DID have to be hot. Since my wife and I were at a party, she decided to ask her friends. Most of them agreed with Andy. The ability to GET a younger man is what makes you a “cougar.”
But my thoughts were that the woman only has to CHASE younger men. There are plenty of cougars on the prowl everyday. Some of them get their prey, but some of them starve to death…doesn’t mean they’re not ALL cougars.
…so…hungry…
So, dear readers, I put it to you. Does a woman have to be hot/sexy to be considered a “cougar?”
Oh and Noah had one final text that night…
Maybe she was like [an] older house cat, cute and loveable but maybe ate one too many Whiskas
PS- Happy Hump Day….giggity!
So TANcast is rapidly approaching the year anniversary of our podcast getting kicked out of the iTunes store. (WTF, iTunes?!). But some of you might actually want to subscribe to our nonsense. So here’s a step by step guide to subscribing to TANcast on iTunes! (FYI-these visuals are from a PC, but it works virtually the same on a Mac.) Read the rest of this entry »
Beauty and the Beast is the classic Disney film that launched a thousand fury fetishes. Artistically, it was probably the high mark of the Disney renascence era and it was the first animated film ever to be nominated for an Academy Award for best picture (it lost to Silence of the Lambs…screw that movie!)
Quick quiz: who was the villain of Beauty and the Beast? If you said “Gaston,” you are 100% wrong. Yes, he’s a total jerk face, but the real vilian is revealed at the opening of the movie. You probably don’t remember it because they glossed over it in an opening monologue read by David Ogden Stiers. He sounds so important that you don’t question him. But read the opening in my whiny voice and the red flags start dropping like a [sports reference that I don’t have for you folks…sorry] Let’s take a look… Read the rest of this entry »

I am writing THIS blog while I’m sitting at a party with my wife. She’s talking with her friends (who she barely gets to see these days) and I’m staying out of it.
This is the first time I’ve written a blog on my iPhone. How do you like it? Does it feel more portable? …ah well.
We were dancing earlier and I am still tired. I am out of shape. Apparently just eating less fast food is not getting me back in peak physical condition. I’m going to have to start exercising. But I hate running and aerobics and crap. My plan is to do 20-30 minutes of Michael Jackson dancing every night until I’m in shape. That should work, right?
Tee hee!!!
