Happy New Year to You! Have you made your New Years Resolutions yet? Have you broken any yet?
2008 ended with a hugh bang. Literally.
The neighbor next door to Casa Espinoza blew off his thumb while setting off a M100 bomb. No kidding. Sad, not safe, not too bright and very painful. I'm sure he will always remember 2009 and its tragic beginning since he'll only be able to count to 9 on his hands now.
They were having a party and started the evening setting off various smaller versions of the M100 causing the police to cruise the area. It was the only real fireworks we saw besides the stuff on TV. As the night progressed and the libations were surely quaffed their nerve grew and their reflexes diminished. Why-O-why do fella's do this kind of thing? Must be some guy thing trying to out-John Wayne -each other. He apparently took the stick of (dynamite) this lethal bomb out to the middle of the street, lit it and then just kinda hung onto it for a digit of time longer than he should have. Tsk, tsk.
On the other hand (oops, sorry for the pun) his year has no where else to go but UP. [and that's not Thumbs Up]. If this didn't happen to you then you and your New Year is off to a Great start! High Five!!

Yep. Einsteins, all around us...
Scary what they do in a pack, eh?
Loved this post!
Our New Years was very unexciting... our little boy has been crying his eyes out because he fell asleep before midnight! But, I gotta hand it to him... He was the last man standing!!!
Here's to 2009... I sure hope it's better than 2008!!!!
Rule of thumb - blow off a digit - lose your five finger discount opportunities. That's the first thing. Second, no more sticking out like a sore thumb. Third, we wont say "he's all fingers" or ask if he's working his fingers to the bone because he wont be twiddling his thumbs that's for sure.
I do see a problem though. It'll be a lot easier to let things slip thru his fingers. He was on-tilt anyway so I guess we knew he didn't have his finger on the pulse anyhow!
I think he can still thumb his nose at folks if he wants to.
How do you follow that? Do you want to follow that? Geez, isn't Karen on a roll?
Just love how the tag labels start: BOMB
Poor Kevin, at least he has both of his eyes left.
the word verification for this little ditty is "direamo" apropos doncha think?
