Oui.
There was a king whose lands were being invaded by a rival kingdom and the king desperately needed to send a request for re-enforcements from a close ally. The only problem was that he couldn't spare many men and there was tribe of fierce savages that lived in the valley between the king and his ally that would attack anyone trying to cross their territory. Very little was known about this tribe because few men had encountered them and lived to tell about it. The tribe was known only as the Yellow Finger.
Having little other choice, the king calls upon his greatest knight to ride through the Valley of the Yellow Finger to request re-enforcements from their ally and save the kingdom from utter destruction.
That afternoon, the knight walks over the plains, into the forest, and down into the Valley of the Yellow Finger. The knight is immediately ambushed by the Yellow Fingers and although he fights bravely, he is eventually overwhelmed.
The following day, the king, not having received word from his knight, knows that the knight has probably failed in his mission. So, the king decides to send the knight's squire.
That afternoon, the squire walks over the plains, into the forest, and down into the Valley of the Yellow Finger. The squire is immediately ambushed by the Yellow Fingers and although he fights bravely, he is eventually overwhelmed.
The following day, the king, not having received word from the squire or the knight, is not really sure what to do and cannot spare any men from his army. So, the king decides to send a lowly page boy from his court. The king tells the page to go that night, and cross the valley while the Yellow Fingers are sleeping.
That night, the page walks over the plains, into the forest, and down into the Valley of the Yellow Finger. As soon as the page steps into the valley, he is immediately ambushed by the Yellow Fingers. The page fights bravely, and kills every single one of the Yellow Fingers that try to attack him. He delivers the request for re-enforcements and saves his kingdom from destruction.
The moral of this story being:
"Let your pages do the walking through the Yellow Fingers."

Aha, I didn't have to read the whole thing - I already knew the punchline.

Avery is constantly bugging me for candy.
I dug deep into the back of the pantry and pulled out the boys' old "treat jar".
Dating back 18+ years, this jar has been home to lollipops, Skittles, humbugs, Werther's, and various other assorted candy.
It just feels so weird to be re-filling the treat jar after all these years, the same week that Son #1 is moving out.

It should be a reminder that they will always be your babies, no matter where life takes them.
And if you want to temper the sadness, just do a search for posts by you that mention Son #1 - I'm sure there are a few that will help you see the positive side of him moving out!
Also - what's up with Olaf's face on your treat jar?

I just hope this doesn't muck up his plans for University.
Olaf? 18 years ago? Man, Disney has clearly had almost two decades to build us a proper Frozen attraction, instead of shoe-horning it into Maelstrom.
Not that Maelstrom was ever that great.

They were supposed to hire Bud Black, but he was insulted they only offered him a two-year contract for $2 million a year.

True. That is ridiculous. I guess my Dad is dishonoring himself by putting up his tree this weekend.

"Adam Ruins Everything". I am officially hooked on this show. New episode tonight at 10pm ET on TruTV. Very informative, yet hilarious at times. Makes you question why society does many of the things it does.

Here's a small snippet from a previous episode on cars & car dealerships:

So, I went into the little piggy's room to see what kind of blank canvas I'm going to have next week.
Holy junk pile, Batman.
I was at Crappy Tire today, and I considered picking up a bunch of bins, but Son #1 says to wait, as he's taking a lot of the junk with him, and chucking the rest.
Ugh!
