We were watching TV last night, and a commercial for the Mantis Tiller came on. 
It shows this lightweight tiller ripping into the dirt. It looks like a pretty cool little garden toy. Evidently Charlie must have thought so too.
“Daddy, I want that. I’m going to use it to dig for worms in the backyard.”
I told him that it would tear the worms to shreds and he would have a mess of worm chunks.
“No, I just dig them up.”

Dave prompted this one from his comment on one of my other posts.
I bought Jeff a case of the 2005 Jones Soda Pop this past Christmas. After we popped them open, I think he thought I was trying to kill him or something.
It was some vile tasting stuff.
Here’s a quick breakdown of the flavors:
Broccoli Casserole - Tasted Rather icky.
Corn on the Cob - Not horrible, it was kinda like drinking carbonated butter.
Pecan Pie - I wouldn’t die if I had to drink the whole bottle.
Turkey & Gravy - Imagine blending up your Thanksgiving Day meal, putting it in one of the dirty socks at the bottom of your clothes hamper, then soaking it in moldy gravy for a couple of weeks. After you’re done, pop it into the blender (including the sock), Carbonate it, Bottle it and Drink it.
Smoked Salmon Pat� - It was worse than the Turkey & Gravy. I gagged and nearly vomited after I got a little sip coupled with the sickening scent. (I just gagged while writing this.)
I found out from the Jones Soda Website that this was only the REGIONAL PACK! Turns out they also sell a NATIONAL PACK. It also has the Turkey & Gravy flavor but also includes Brussels Sprout with Prosciutto, Cranberry Sauce, Wild Herb Stuffing, and Pumpkin Pie.
Can’t wait to see what flavors I get to buy Jeff next year!
Good News, we can be happy to know that while poisoning ourselves with the Jones Soda Holiday Brews, we were also helping support childrens charities:
“In an effort to provide more support for children�s charities, Jones launched two different holiday packs benefiting St. Jude�s Children�s Research Center and Toys for Tots, with the goal of raising $100,000 and $50,000, respectively.”

I deep fried my first Turkey this past Thanksgiving. It was supposed to only take a little over an hour to fry my 23 pound bird, but it was a coooold day, and the bone chilling wind kept blowing out the flames. I couldn’t keep the temperature at the 350-375 degrees needed, so after almost 2 hours and a half dozen times relighting the flame, I gave up and shifted the turkey into the oven for another 45 minutes (which kinda defeated the whole point).
A good tasting bird overall, but definitely not fried to golden perfection like I pictured.
I guess the “deep fried dead turkey dance” didn’t bring us any luck.

I just spotted this dandy little product at the gas station around the corner. It’s a clown fish shaped lighter. Just push the top fin and flame shoots out of little Nemo’s mouth. I think I will keep this gem as far from my house as possible. I can only imagine charlie getting ahold of it.

A really bad idea

I found a couple of better pictures of the lighter.
(Shhhh. I stole them from some guy’s eBay auction.)

I just googled myself to see where I popped up in the google listings.
I used to be #1, but now I’m #2 for the search “Keith Cramer.”
Anyway, I just want everyone to know that there is a picture of an alternate Keith Cramer on the Brandeis University website. HE IS NOT ME!
You can see him by clicking here.
He scares me a litte.

Charlie and I drove down to pick up some sandwiches for dinner the other night. Out of the blue, he says “Daddy, there’s a button in your nose. If you push it, you will die.”
Wha-huh?!
