C-Dog Family Additions

As many of you know, Mrs. C-Dog gave birth to twins on Saturday, May 20th. All are healthy and happy, at least when not turning bright red and howling.

It's been kind of a roller coaster so, if you're one of the many people to whom I've forgotten to send pictures, just drop me a line -- cdogzilla [at] yahoo [dot] com -- and I'll make sure to get some out to you as soon as possible. (If you're one of my flickr contacts, you can also see them here ... let me know if you'd like to be added as a contact as that is where most pictures will go as opposed to mass emails.)

If you're one of those who had a wager at your local parimutuel or just like stats: Blake Connor was born 9:53am, 6lbs, 19.5" with a little light reddish brown hair; Amelia Claire was born 9:55am, 6lbs 8ozs, 19.5" with slightly more, slightly darker hair.

Thanks for all the well wishes and support, we truly appreciate every bit of it!

All I can think is that there must have been some Helena Bonham Carter-ish proto-chimps back when the proto-humans were broadening their horizons, so to speak.

That's a Putty-Nosed Monkey telling you it's time to roll out.

Bear vs. Monkey

I don't know why but this article made me think that it's time to update Rock-Paper-Scissors and do Bear-Monkey-Shark or something like that. Bear obviously beats Monkey. Monkey would beat Shark (sharks would be helpless in the jungle, totally unable to swing through the trees -- and I never heard of Shark Kung Fu). Bear vs. Shark is tricky though ... can anything beat Bear? Bears can swim and, if dolphins can beat sharks, I'm sure a bear would maul a shark. Maybe the game should be Bear-Monkey-Ditka?

As Bonedaddy alerted us a month or so back, Yo La Tengo, Sonic Youth, and Chloe from 24 were singing it up on the streets in tonight's Gilmore Girls. Thurston Moore looks goofier than ever.
