HBTY Jake.

Wow. 16. I like the baby picture. He hasn't changed much! Remarkable. A chip off the old block.

Does look like he's inherited your humor. Poor guy.

Shammickite said...

Wonder if you're ever going to post again.....?

nAncY said...

A little late but happy birthday Jake. I hope you got that new car you wanted and that your dad filled it up with petrol.

Popping over to see what you're up to - not much it seems!! Hope Jake had a happy birthday and that things are going well for you.

Ted M. Gossard said...

Hope you're okay and enjoying Spring. We got blasted this weekend, too bad I don't have a pic of us running in the torrential rain with umbrellas bent out of shape in the stiff winds.

Anyhow, miss your posts, and hope you're okay.

Friends, I have spoken to Martin. He is being held in a stasis chamber somewhere in the Nevada desert. The United States government is using alien technology to perform all manner of experiments on him. He says to say hi.

Hi.

nAncY said...

oh dear! i just knew there was something going on.
i don't trust the u.s government to treat him well..they might use the jello test on him!

Craver Vii said...

The j-j-j-jello test??! If the rest of the world knew we were using the jello test, we'd get kicked out of the United Nations.

Martin, if you can hear us, try not to laugh or wiggle. That only makes it hurt worse.

Marcus Goodyear said...

At least Martin is safe from lime jello boarding now. I heard that interrogators have been warned not to use the practice any more.

(Long time no see, Craver!)

Halfmom, AKA, Susan said...

Ewhh - lime??? That's the worst ever. I mean, if they used lemon at least he'd look sort of tan and healthy, but lime? He'll look like an alien even before they can turn him in to one!

Ted M. Gossard said...

I can't wait to get your full report along with pics of your time in Nevada. Of course I won't believe any of it, but what else has changed?

Craver Vii said...

There won't be any pics, Ted. They confiscated and destroyed his camera. They also made him sing the hokey pokey at the grocery store checkout counter. Oh, the horror of it all!

nAncY said...

oh that is bad..because i know that he would rather sing "good night irene" at counter in the grocery store...can anyone save poor martin?

listen

Halfmom, AKA, Susan said...

Martin - what are we to do to save you? I know you are ashamed of having to sing the hokey pokey, but remember we all still love you!

Craver Vii said...

Personally, I thought his rendition was quite likable. All except for what he was wearing... He was easier on the ears, than on the eyes, if you know what I'm saying.

Ted M. Gossard said...

I agree.

Blimey Martin, you are about as good as me at keeping your blog going!
Love Lorenzo..

Litl-Luther said...

271 posts in 2007; 162 in 2008; but only five posts in 2009? What's up Martin? We're looking for a laugh from you mate! Your fans are waiting with baited breath.

Halfmom, AKA, Susan said...

That's not fair Craver - I mean, how good would you look if they soaked you in lime jello! Well, for that matter - how good would any of us look if they soaked us in anything!!

Craver Vii said...

I ain't too bad in lime jello, actually. I know that because... nevermind.

Hey, while were here, what can we scrounge up to eat? I reheated some calzones.

Litl-Luther, what are you drinking?

Litl-Luther said...

Lime flavored bacardi breezers

PS: For a man who always talks about food, you're quite slim and fit Craver!

Litl-Luther said...

I'm all for government experiments on Martin (or should I say Martian). He is definitely from another world.

Do you think Obama would let us watch the experiments? I would suggest some Nachos and cheese dip as we watch Martin wriggle.

Craver Vii said...

Hah! These days, I'm carrying around 54 pounds (24.5 kgs) more than when I got married.

Hmmmm... Martian Stickland. Maybe you're on to something there, but I was hoping we could try to rescue the poor bloke.

Lime flavored, eh?

Litl-Luther said...

Yes Craver. I prefer lime breezers over jello....but that doesn't mean I'm an alien. Don't get any ideas!

BTW: Who is feeding poor Bandit while Martian's away shaking his left foot all about in Nevada supermarkets? In an earlier post Bandit's paws had fallen off from the cold. It must be difficult for him to retrieve the box of cereal in the morning.

Ted M. Gossard said...

Yellow reminds me of beer. Well, nearly everything does, though actually I just finally had some more for the first time in many a moon, but a special occasion you know.

Yellow reminds me of other things as well......

Oh, I guess the color is green and lime. Key lime pie. That must be it. Yes. And we'll bring it in soon. We can have a pie eating contest to see who can eat the most pies in one hour. Actually the only pie eating contest I was in I won! So we'll celebrate with a one hour key lime pie eating contest when you get back. Then after that we'll have a smashing time hitting each other with leftover key lime pie.

Litl-Luther said...

For further tips on how to rescue a being like Martin, watch the movie "Race to Witch Mountain".

I saw it with my daughter while in Bangkok. It was the coolest theater I've ever seen!: It was a good sized theater, yet only about 30 seats—all big recliners, too and spread out in twos, to give you space! There were even blankets on each recliner to keep you warm as you lay back and watch the movie. Very cool! And the aliens looked like Martin (short, light...). They were also taken to a secret facility in Nevada, but neither was covered with lime jello or made to do the hokey pokey. Perhaps Craver didn't get all the facts straight?

Litl-Luther said...

I just got news that Martin slipped away in the night from his captors — literally. They had covered him from head-to-toe in lime jello to see how his alien skin would respond. He was able to use the jello to slip out of his shackles. Martin is now running wildly and naked through the Nevada desert. But bloodhounds as well as coyotes are on his scent. There must be some kind of decoys we could deploy. We're hoping Craver and other compadres of Martin could place mounds of lime jello throughout the Nevada desert to give Martin the head start he needs to get home.

Craver Vii said...

Why is it that imagining Martin streaking through the streets, wearing nothing but jello does not seem out of the ordinary?

I have ordered a truckload of lime jello and will assemble a task force of jello casters to initiate project decoy. I hope he makes it back to Combe Martin. We could probably expect civilian reports of naked Martian Martin sightings all along the way.

I have my wife's permission to don a lime jello costume myself if we can use it to lure Martin's antagonists away and secure his freedom.

Litl-Luther said...

Good news!

Martin ran into a small Navaho village. There was no phone, but he was able to send out smoke signals. Here's the message:

"I'm well, except for my bum. I didn't notice the cactus as I flopped to the ground. I taught these kind, drunken Indians how to do the hokey pokey. They offered me a bath, but I prefer the feel of jello. They gave me some fire-water, slippers and a sombrero for my journey. Still no knickers, I'm afraid. We'll, we are running out of dry twigs. I need to keep this short. Hi. Bye.”

Maaaartinnnnn!!!! Where are you?????

I have to admit, at least your son is not "short, light and ugly".
