Feet, fireworks, and fun
I am apparently too early for work. Thomas is not here yet.
Danis gave me some paper slippers as a joke. I thought it was completely acceptable to wear them. I think my feet look like they belong in a nursing home.
Dont worry! The Germans knew it was the Fourth of July, so they had some fireworks for me. (Or maybe they were celebrating their bridge.) This is one of them:
I was thinking about Zoolander this morning, and I was wondering if Ben Stiller is still married to that Hey Dude girl. Can anyone help me out here? I only really remember one episode of that show. In it, whoever the boss guy was decided it would be a good idea to spell "Dude Ranch" in big letter with rocks for planes that flew over to see. Someone thought it would be funny to change the first letter and make it "Nude Ranch". Of course guests began to arrive without clothing. That Nickelodeon, so clever.

Glad those Germans knew about July 4th for you, Drew. Very nice photo.Why paper slippers? Is she trying to keep you from running somewhere? Since I won't be around, I'm glad to see how you'll look in the nursing home. (I'll be directing aerobics on that cruise ship!)

Ok...so, because I am full of useless information that stays in my head when I just hear it once (especially pertaining to entertainment and Hollywood) Christine Taylor (who you so rudely referred to as "That Hey Dude Girl" when she has appeared in other critically acclaimed films such as "The Brady Bunch: A Very Brady Movie" and "The Very Brady Sequel" in which she played the oldest girl Marcia) and Ben Stiller are still together. She just played opposite him in "Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story" and they recently had a baby girl together. All I remember about her in Hey Dude is that she had a boy's name and dated that gross guy that played in Sabrina the Teenage Witch (but only when she was in college)...I think her name was Bradley!

sorry....didn't mean to give you the false hope of reading 4 comments when there's only really 3 and really only really 2 because the third one is an explanation of the repeated one. i didn't mean to send it twice.

I hate to do this for two reasons. One, I have to prove Trista wrong. Two, I have to prove what a sloth I was as a child and how I remember things, such as the entire theme song to Hey Dude as well as the cast of characters. So, here goes. Bradly on Hey Dude was actually the brunette. She dated Ted, or atleast he had a huge crush on her. Christine Taylor, married to Ben Stiller, was Melody, the chipper blonde. The owner of the Bar None ranch was Mr. Ernst. He had a son named Buddy. Other characters included Lucy and Danny. (Did I mention I was a rather chunky child and didn't get out much?) So, there is the correction about Christine Taylor and her days on the Bar None. (Sorry Trista!)
And paper slippers are the best gift to give your significant other. Just ask anyone! What says, "I care" better than disposable footwear?

OOhh sting, Danis...but I was right about her in the Brady Bunch movies. It's good to know that you were a chunky child, because I was as well, but I spent most of my time with the television watching Lamb Chop and renting Return to Oz, The Little Mermaid, and The Princess Bride 6 dozen times. I just feel like I have a kindred spirit now.

wow, count me in on the people who feel a connection with danis. i, too, am a chunky child. i also am very cheap and try to pass off on-hand items as sentimental gifts.
on another note, trista and i journeyed to the distant land of spiro, oklahoma, last night to shoot off some half-priced fireworks (which were, by the way, very sentimental). the nighttime bugs are very different there, and as proof i somehow have 4 gigantic bite marks on the upper crest of my butt crack. i also met a real live native american. she was almost 80 years old, and very fiery. apparently she wears a headband to match every outfit she owns, and for this has earned the nickname "grambo."
