Seasonal Fun

I bought a little game on ebay for my youngest daughter, who loves bunnies, and we played it for the first time today. It's made by Playmobil, it came from Germany, and it is all in German, so it was fun and educational at the same time! It's called Wettlauf um die Möhren, or Race to the Carrots. See, the bunnies have escaped their hutch and they're trying to get to the field of carrots. But if you land on a circle with the picture of the farmer, or Bauer, you get stuck with the farmer figure, and you can't get into the carrot patch if you have the farmer figure.

We christened him Jack Bauer. I wonder what he's gonna do with that pitchfork. :)

Then there was a rousing game of bunny Jenga.

Jack Bauer Joins the Blog Party!

Hey there, ladies.
In honor of 24 being on tonight, Jack Bauer has graciously agreed to stop by the Ultimate Blog Party. No, wait Jack, you don't need to torture those balloons for information. Jack, put down that pin...

Sweet!

Wouldn't this get you some looks at the range? Isn't it a purty, purty Bersa? And I have some acrylic paint right here at home.... Okay, I know Jack Bauer wouldn't carry this. I know the Chaplain wouldn't carry this. I wonder if the Pistol Packin' Presbytera would carry this, if it were more of a purple pistol?? (Say "Pistol Packin' Presbytera's purple pistol" three times fast. Ha!) Anybody else think they could survive a day at the range using this? And although the bullets are no longer functional (the paint means they will no longer chamber), yes, the gun itself is still operational. However, since the proud owner does not want to go to the trouble necessary to carefully clean this work of art after using it, the Bersa and bullets are mounted in a glass case. You can see more pictures if you scroll down through the discussion here.

Going to the Dark Side?

Even though I've never seen an episode of 24, I've had so much fun with the Jack Bauer hype that I'm actually considering watching Season 6. Like I need another thing to be addicted to! I think everybody should participate in Talk Like Jack Bauer Day, however. Just 'cause it sounds like fun. And Jack Bauer will hurt you if you don't.

Just remember, when bad things happen to good people, it's probably fate. When bad things happen to bad people, it's probably Jack Bauer.
