October 31 Happy Halloween!Happy Halloween, y'all!
 Hope everyone has a ghoulishly good day!
I was looking for my pirate paraphenalia to wear to work today, but it seems it has been liberated.....Thanksgiving kind of got out of hand. That Grandma of mine can be sneaky.
A couple of shout outs:
To my cousin David and his wife Jen, who welcomed their fourth child and first daughter into the world yesterday. Welcome, Shelby! Good luck with all those boys!
And to my sister's friends Andrea and Steve, who are going thru IVF (in vitro fertilization)....hope the first time is a charm for you guys! Implant, little embryos, implant!
Off to work and the Halloween Potluck.....my cat litter cake turned out pretty well, and it's yummy...but it looks like shit. Har har!
Tuckle.......out! October 29 Audience Participation Time!Rob attended a concert last night, and when a particular song came on, he noticed a woman sitting near him began to cry. Being the inquisitive sort, he wondered what emotional connection/past experience this woman had tied to the song. So that has prompted this post; which songs have brought tear to your eye? If anyone says "Goodbye My Lover" by James Blunt, I will have to punch you in the throat. Nothing personal.
Songs that have recently warmed the cockles of Tuckles cold, cold heart: "If Tomorrow Never Comes" by Bob Dylan and "Grow Old With Me" by John Lennon.
 Added fun: Guess who this Ladiez Man is?!
CakeI'm organizing a Halloween Potluck Lunch at work, and here's what I'm making (thanks to Crazy Canadian for the idea):
Do you think anyone will eat it? I bet they will, the people I work with aren't that discriminating. If nothing else, it'll be good for a laugh.
For this recipe you have to bake two cakes, a chocolate and a white....I'm just gonna go on record right now and say chocolate will ALWAYS kick white cake's ass. Always.
(sorry, I'm not cool enough to know how to do a trackback. If you want the recipe, it's on Crazy's site). October 27 Friday night fun with the bay-beeI had dinner with the McHugh's tonight, which was fun. Not only are they both fantastic cooks, but they let me hold their baby as much as I wanted (which was a lot). *Such* a cute bebe, possibly the cutest ever.
I fed Logan his bottle, and when I thought he had fallen asleep and stopped drinking, I gently removed the bottle from his mouth....as you can see in this picture, Little Man is fond of the nipples.He's only 2 weeks old! Who says this stuff isn't ingrained from birth??
I don't feel so goodJeez, what do you think happened to this poor guy? Did he ride the Tilt-A-Whirl at the local fair too many times? Did he eat some bad chicken? Does he have the flu? We may never know.
 Hey Joe, do you recognize this guy? James Blunt, I'm talkin 2 uI can't be the only person who wishes this guy would drop off the face of the planet*. His song "Goodbye My Lover" makes me gag...horrible...and that tremor in his voice makes me think someone has put a piece of ice on his nutsack or something....cripes.
 He sure does have a purty mouth though, I'll give him credit there. I just wish he wouldn't open it.
The opinions expressed in this post are not indicative of the public en masse, rather just Tuckle's skewed view of things. If you don't like it, take James Blunt and re-join the army but for god's sake, don't let him write any more songs OR perform them in public. kthx.
October 24 Stupid BirdsThere never used to be seagulls around where I live. Now, they're everywhere. I saw a field full of them the other day.
 They piss me off.
We're not even remotely close to the sea.
Stupid birds. October 22 Happy Birthday Rosie!Today is my Grandma's 72nd birthday. Happy Birthday, Grandma! We had a party for her yesterday, which was a lot of fun. It had been a while since my entire family had been together, so it was nice to see everyone.
It was sweet watching Grandma open her presents...she has abandoned the reserved careful present opening, the laborious chore of being sure to save the paper, and just revels in it. Fun to watch :)
For those of you who don't know, my Grandma is famous for a certain alcoholic punch that she makes. She's made it since I was a kid. The recipe is a secret, which is probably for the best. That shiat is potent. That's a bottle of punch (sometimes called 'Crazy Juice') in the witches brew pot. Nice touch, no?
A few pictures:
I should add that my Grandma was wearing a wig yesterday....I'm not sure why. That's just the kind of lady she is. October 20 Watch out, worldToday I woke up feeling evil. You know that feeling? Like Beezlebub spent the night whispering rotten thoughts into your ear.
Luckily, my brand of evil is fairly benign.
I'm going to be late for work, on purpose. A few months ago the regime changed at work, and my department has a new manager. He never gets in until at least 9am, whereas the old manager pretty much lived there round the clock and busted you if you were more than 5 minutes late. So now, pretty much everyone is late regularly because no one notices. Except me, I'm always 20-30 mins early....tired of being the only chump to do the 'right' thing, I'll go along with the rest of them. For today at least.
I'm probably going to do some other rotten stuff today, but will have to report back on those later. Hey, if it's not premeditated it doesn't seem as bad, right?
Just because it's funny:
 Tom Brady is hot and you know it:
 And, because I dig him:
 Aiight, I guess I should go unleash my special brand of unholy Tuckle terror on the world at large. Look for me on the 6 o'clock news.....and have bail money ready.
Tuckle.......out!
It's a Chucktatorship  October 17 Dear Jenna Fischer; I love you. That is all.10 Things You Don't Know About Women By Jenna Fischer (from The Office) 1. If we run into your ex-girlfriend in public, the first thing you should do is put your arm around us. And if we have to introduce ourselves, you are in big trouble. 2. When you tell us about a business lunch you had with a woman, it's a good idea to tell us that she's fat, ugly, old, or a lesbian. Preferably all of them. 3. PMS is real. It's chemical, and it sucks. If someone told you that every thirty days you were going to get jacked repeatedly in the nuts, you'd be pissy around day twenty-six, too. 4. When we say, "I don't feel connected," the only appropriate response is, "I feel it, too. Let's go out for a nice dinner and reconnect." Try it. You will get laid. 5. If you can locate the following items in our home—tape, casserole dish, Christmas ornaments—you will get laid. 6. If you act excited about the bath mat we bought at Target, you will get laid. 7. We really want to have kids. That is, until you want to have kids. Then: "Hey, slow down. What about my career? It's my body. I'm not just a depository for your sperm, you know. Fuck off. Wait, come back. I'm sorry about that. It's sweet you want to have kids. Let's talk about it in a year." 8. You know what's really gay? Football. Instead of watching it, just have sex with another dude once a year. Get it all out of your system at once. 9. We can make a "celebrity safe list" if you want. But I am way more likely to get Patrick Dempsey to fuck me in a bathroom than you are to get Lindsay Lohan to suck you off in your car. 10. Okay, wait. Maybe not Lindsay Lohan. But you know what I mean. October 15 The Funnest Thing EVER!This is only the funnest thing ever!!!
Check out myheritage.com....you have to register (just takes a second), but it's worth it.
Apparently I look 96% like Rebecca Romijn in the picture I submitted...which is hilarious, because I look nothing like her....for comparison, I also look 66% like Oscar Wilde in the same picture.
I can just tell that a vast quantity of my day will be spent on this site. Be sure to tell me your results!
 October 14 Huzzah for my cousin Graeme!Alls I can say is, I didn't have my shizz together when I was Graeme's age (21). Congrats, Graeme! You deserve all good things.

For some of the recipients of this message, it's been a very, very long time. I do regret that, but I guess sometimes that's just the way things turn out. October 12 Logan Robert McHughMy good friends Daniele & Rob welcomed their first child, Logan Robert McHugh into the world yesterday. Everyone is doing well (dad even delivered the baby because the doctor didn't make it in time!) and resting at home.
I went to visit today, and this child is *gorgeous*! Ain't nothing nicer than holding a perfect, 36 hour old baby. Well, I'm sure holding a basket full of money would be pretty damn nice, but this was pretty good. October 10 Paging Dr. Tuckle, paging Dr. Tuckle...Princess Baby Mama is in labor! Her water broke just over an hour ago. Logan will make his arrival by tomorrow...yay! I'm so excited for the McHugh's!! October 09 You're a funny, funny man, David SedarisI looooooove David Sedaris' writing. He consistently makes me laugh. "Cyclops" has had me in tears more than a few times, and "Dinah, the Christmas Whore" is priceless. If you haven't read "Naked" yet, do it--yeah, yeah, it's a collection of autobiographical short stories, but don't let that put you off. This is some funny shizz.
 And if anyone is thinking about buying me a present just because it's Monday, I'd like this:
 Turkey DayHope y'all had a good Thanksgiving! I had a good one, full of family and some phone in friends. The weather has been awesome here all weekend, and that made it extra nice. I have a lot to be thankful for this year, especially as of late.
Yesterday during our turkey festivities, my mom, grandma and sista decided to don costumes (yes, the pirate get up is mine). The cat even got in on the fun! |
