Bob the Builder

So initially I was going to link to the Bob the Builder intro in a comment to the last post. As I was looking for the video it occurred to me (as it has in the past) that Bob the Builder's catch phrase ("Can we fix it? YES WE CAN!") is remarkably similar to Barak Obama's catch phrase. Is it just a coincidence that he's so popular with young people and their parents?

Then I got it in my mind to post about that coincidence, but several people beat me to it. Still I found the bob the builder song on YouTube along with the Bob the Builder song translated into every fricking language in the universe.

English (original version)
French
German
Swedish
Danish?
Russian?
Polish?
Puuffmuter?

Well, I thought it was worth sharing.

I'm back!

You probably didn't even know I was gone. Yes, dear reader, I spent the last week in San Diego, California.

I had a great time hanging out with my brother and sister, my niece and nephew and my in-laws! The kids are super cute (sorry no pictures) and everyone really seems to be super happy out there. As a bonus, my good friends Paul & Vicky just recently moved to San Diego (no pictures either). I got a chance to catch up with them and check out their new digs. I didn't get a chance to use the lap-pool or the gym in their complex, but I assure you it looks very swank.

No pictures. For whatever reason, no one was taking photos, so you'll really just have to take my word for it.
