No worries, ivan, I turn 14 in March. My cover shall stay... unblown?

And why, exactly, shouldn't I know Johnny Nash "tunes"? I happen to like that song. It was in the extra features on Shrek :)

Oooh, smooth recovery.  Only a 13 year old would have the free time and desire to actually watch the extra features on Shrek.

I like birds. They're cute and fluffy and sing pretty. I'm training a few to crap on demand. Once that's been established, I'm going to decorate my inconsiderate neighbor's car.

While that is hilarious and at least 10 kinds of awesome...birds are weird.

I know, this isn't really a fair comparison.  The iPad isn't anywhere near as effective as a weapon as the rock is.

1. Take iPhone/Rock comparison joke image
2. Remove "iPhone", replace with "iPad"
3. ? ? ?
4. Profit!

Admittedly, it's still funny, but yeah. You'd think people would try a little harder with these things. :-P

So someone sent us a gift for the baby.  It was sent directly from the department store.  And it still has the security tag on it!  There was no packing slip or anything in the box so I have no proof that it was sent as a gift.  If I go to the store, they'll just assume I stole it.  As they should.

I guess I have to get the gift givers to take care of it.  What a hassle.  Way to go, Nordstrom.
