I lurve Halloween.

I have had a bummer of a day at work.  And while I don’t want to drudge out all of the details, mainly because they are issues involving people I love and they deserve their privacy, I will say that it’s been hard to peek out from under the gloom cloud that’s hovering over our little workspace.

So I’m going to share with you this completely inappropriate comedian we stumbled upon this weekend.  He literally made me pee (just a little!) when he went on a tirade. 

His name is Daniel Tosh, and we were so excited to see that he’s visiting T-town in late October.  I, obviously, will not be able to go, but EVERYONE else should.

Some of his quotes that had us in stitches:

“I don’t think doing a high school teacher while you’re a student makes you cooler.  I did my teacher.  I wasn’t cooler.  Sure, it’s because you say I was homeschooled, but I think that just means statistically, I’m smarter than you AND I’ve got game.”

“Plastic surgery allows you the opportunity to make your outer appearance resemble your inner appearance: FAKE.”

“I’m dating Huck Finn in this joke.  He’s a Gemini.  We’re compatible.”

“If you’re a Vin Diesel fan, in all fairness, you shouldn’t be here watching me.  You should be at home, coloring.”

And he went on one marvelous bit about the special olympics that I can’t find ANYWHERE, but it was so funny I peed on the couch.  Seriously.  He basically just says all of the horrible, awful, completely un-PC stuff that we say in our heads and makes jokes out of them.

Which makes him my hero.

I think that when you have a child, you have this expectancy of his/her looks. Most parents can look at eachother and say, “Oh, because we both have x, so will our child.” But there is nothing about Bryan and I that looks the same.

Bryan can tan like an indian. I, however, get third degree burns from driving to work.

Bryan has bright blue/green eyes. Mine are dark as coal.

Bryan is tall and lanky. I .. am not.

But the one thing that we have NO clue on is hair color. We seriously have no idea what color Tony’s hair will be. To be quite frank, I’ve been dying my hair some shade or another since I was eleven, and Bryan .. well, Bryan doesn’t have a lot to judge by.

Everyone at work teases me about a redheaded baby, but puhleeze.. hair dye doesn’t seep into DNA, does it? (And how AWESOME would that be?!) Bryan swears he had red hair as a child, but I’ve seen pictures and I don’t see it. I will testify that he used to have bright flecks of copper in his beard, but I’m not sure that’s enough to solidify our child as a redhead.

I think we should start a pool. What color do you think Tony’s hair will be?
