Dr Noize!

Way back, New Year's Eve, I took the kids to their first live concert. Before the event, Jasmine played with intense sunlight on her T-shirt's sequins. They loved it, so their teenage rock phase should be fun.

Doctor Noize (aka Cory Culligan) is an absolute blast. He is a local kids' musician with a CD (samples)and book out along with a T-shirt. We now own them all as well as learning all the lyrics to the Banana song. :) To the delight of all the kids, he has parents come up and embarrass themselves in front of their children.

I'd actually intended to post a couple other things next. I'll get caught up, really I will. Theo titled the right photo Stem Smell Research. Puns force themselves to the front of the line.

By the bye, a rabbit, definitely a rabbit.

Rabbit or Walrus?

I say rabbit, Kai thinks walrus. This is a picture from NOAH back in July/August of 2008. One of those pictures you find while trying to find something else. :)

If I study them carefully, I will know all their plans.

What do you think about having another?

I have studied too much.

The Ghost of Stan Laurel ...

... has possessed my dad.

This first picture at Christmas showed a notable resemblance, but it didn't seem uncanny. When I pulled an old Laurel and Hardy picture into Photoshop, I thought I'd have to do a lot of dinking to fit Dad's face over Laurel's.

Nope. The only difference I needed to compensate for was that Laurel's ears extend higher than Dad's, maybe by half an inch at most. The rest was pretty much an overlay.

So now we know, Dad's TRUE calling is to become a Stan Laurel impersonator.
