Anyone want to go in on a wingsuit? I was thinking about either the Blade in orange or the SkyFlyer S.6 Gibraltar in camo, but I’m open to alternatives. According to the size chart on the Bird-Man Flight Gear store, I wear a large which fits the “Bird-Man” of height, 5′ 11″ - 6′ 0.5″ and weight, 154 - 187 lbs.
Just thought I would send this little ditty along. My kids, like all kids, like to play with toys and sometimes, oftentimes, the toys end up being something that they were not intended to be; in the case of my children this usually ends up being some sort of blunt object weapon. One of my oldest child’s favorite toys is the Hokie horn. He loves it and is fairly accomplished at blowing it. He calls it his tuba because of the tuba Larry the Cucumber plays at the beginning of Veggie Tales.
However sometimes the use of even a simple Hokie horn can be warped. Last night the whole family was playing in the living room and, like usual, my oldest had his “tuba.” All of the sudden he turns around and says, “Whoa!!! My penis is really big!”
He had turned the horn around backward and had covered his penis, because of course he was naked, with the flared end of the horn.
I just thought I would share that with everyone and warn you that if you come to my house you may want to think twice before playing with any of the toys.

This beard–the white [redish brown] wool, unclipt upon my neck,”
-Walt Whitman, “Behold This Swarthy Face”
Every November the students of the university I work for hold a month-long event called “No Shave November.” There are many schools that do something of the sort whether it is “No Shave November” or “Janu-hairy” or whatever clever name can be thought of to allow students, and some faculty and staff, the excuse to not shave for a month. This year I decided to participate. I have never done “No Shave November” mainly because my wife does not like it and refuses to get close to me when I have a beard. But seeing as how my wife is pregnant, and when she is pregnant she has a head cold for nine months, and doesn’t get close to me anyway I decided to give it a whirl.
I have realized something this month. I like having a beard, at least for the winter months. I don’t think there is ever going to be any way that I could wear a beard in the summer; if you didn’t read my last post I weigh 332lbs. I produce enough heat as it is. But in the winter it is awesome, some would say manly. I would like to keep my beard but I am a reasonable man. I will let the people decide. Should I go full beard or should I return to the goatee?
Graaarrrrr!!!!! I am Eric the Red
Kind of wussy but it will do I guess
