Can't think of a group who'd appreciate this more...

For those that don't know about history... here is a condensed version:

Humans originally existed as members of small bands of nomadic hunters & gatherers. They lived on deer in the mountains during the summer, and would go to the coast and live on fish and lobster in the winter. The two most important events in all of history were the invention of beer and the invention of the wheel. The wheel was invented to get man to the beer. These were the foundation of modern civilization and together were the catalyst for the splitting of humanity into two distinct subgroups: Liberals and Conservatives.

Some men spent their days tracking and killing animals to BBQ at night while they were drinking beer. This was the beginning of what is known as the Conservative movement. Other men who were weaker and less skilled at hunting learned to live off the conservatives by showing up for the nightly BBQ's and doing the sewing, fetching, and hair dressing. This was the beginning of the Liberal movement.

Some of these liberal men eventually evolved into women. They became known as girlie-men. Some noteworthy liberal achievements include the domestication of cats, the invention of group therapy, group hugs, and the concept of Democratic voting – to decide how to divide the meat and beer that conservatives provided. Over the years conservatives came to be symbolized by the largest, most powerful land animal on earth, the elephant. Liberals are symbolized by the jackass for obvious reasons.

Modern liberals like imported beer (with lime), but most prefer white wine or imported bottled water. They eat raw fish but like their beef well done. Sushi, tofu, and French food are standard liberal fare... another interesting evolutionary side note: most of their women have higher testosterone levels than their men. Liberals also invented the designated hitter rule because it wasn't fair to make the pitcher bat too. Most social workers, personal injury attorneys, journalists (but not all!), dreamers in Hollywood and group therapists are liberals.

Conservatives drink domestic beer; mostly Bud, Coors, or Miller. They eat red meat and still provide for their women. Conservatives are big game hunters, rodeo cowboys, lumberjacks, construction workers, firemen, medical doctors, police officers, engineers, corporate executives, athletes, members of the military, airline pilots, railroad men, and generally anyone who works productively.

Conservatives who own companies hire other conservatives who want to work for a living. Liberals produce little or nothing. They like to govern the producers and decide what to do with the production. Liberals believe Europeans are more enlightened than Americans. That is why most of the liberals remained in Europe when conservatives were coming to America (they crept in after the Wild West was tamed and created a business of trying to get more for nothing).

Here ends today's lesson in world history: it should be noted that a liberal may have a momentary urge to angrily respond to the above, while a conservative will simply laugh and be so convinced of the absolute truth of this history that it will be forwarded immediately – to other true believers and to more liberals just to piss them off. Let your next action reveal your true self... I'm going to have another beer.

New Years Btown

So we have discussed this, but have not yet nailed down any plans. Not that we have to have anything big time planned out or have anything set in stone. However, seems like over what was discussed so far going over the Kanzler's house was the best. If anybody has any other suggestions or ideas let's lay them out and see what else is out there. Maybe we can go out to the Fasoli's beach house haha, sans Fasoli of course......

Whatever the case may be I challenge you Rory to a decathlon..game on bitch.

Baby Announcement & Merry Christmas

For those of you that haven't already heard, we're expecting! We made the announcement to everyone present at Nick's party this afternoon. Christina is currently at the 12 week mark and the due date is July 7th. I recently acquired the mousseau.info domain and have started a blog for keeping family and friends up to date on the pregnancy and eventually the new addition to the family. If you would like access, email me at eric(at)mousseau.info and I will send you an invite. Merry Christmas everybody!

Sneaky Beaver

I show this guy what I really think of his RCXD.

I'm on a plane

With free wifi. It's really slow though. Exciting huh....

Christmas Plans

So Holly and I were FINALLY able to nail down some travel plans for Christmas. We will be traveling Christmas day and will get into B-Town close to midnight @ the Kanzler house. For those willing to stay up and have a beer or two with us...we would appreciate it. We will stay until after dinner Tuesday so hopefully we will get to see most of you (not sure who will still be around). Also, Alex mentioned shooting, so I will bring my gat so we can pop a few caps. Word.

Here's the video I was talking about...

[L] Merry Christmas, Pats fans...

... and/or non-fans of Peyton Manning (all others need not read - you surely won't find it as awesome as, say, Eric and Adam will).

Warrior Dash {L}

What's up my blogging friends. Me and a couple of people up in Tampa were thinking about doing this event that is linked above. We are probably going to be signing up before the New Year let me know if you are interested. It seems to fit the idea of a good time: Close, Affordable and Fun. Also, if we convince Rorina to do it we can place bets on who wins out of us two. Let me know....

Nick D ( Saint Nick) this time of year.....

New Hire

So how do you guys feel about this? This seemed pretty off the radar for me mostly because they only mentioned names with people with head coaching experience. Obviously Texas has been pretty solid for a while and he has a good rep around the nation.

So this is happening again

Urban Meyer is resigning as UF coach. Depending on if this is actually true or just him playing again, Urban might be a bigger douche than Brett Favre.

College Bowl Mania

Well it was a fun and eventful college football season, like they always are. Obviously some of us enjoyed it more than other and for once it was FSU and especially Auburn fans. Anyway let's everybody sign up and pick all the bowl games to prove how much you really know about college football. Hope to see most of you around for the holidays where I plan on bragging about my perfect record. Alex I titled the group name in your honor and you know it is not something good. I will leave you with a quote from one of my favorite holiday movies.

More Tree

So this isn't as spectacular as Eric's tree. It is minimalist. We decided that since there is absolutely nowhere to put our tree inside our house that we would put it outside on the deck. It is right outside the door, so we can see it very easily and it also doubles as outdoor decoration. As an added benefit it gets covered in snow and looks even more festive! Now if I can only figure out how to prevent the water in the tree stand from freezing...

This was taken after I got home from work. (Yes, it is pitch black at 4:30pm up here and yes I get home from work before 5)
This was taken this morning. We were supposed to get a light dusting of snow today. It has been snowing all day long.

New Camera


With the little one on the way we decided it was time to step into the DSLR realm.

After sitting on the fence for a while between the Canon Rebel XS and the Nikon D3000 we decided on the Canon. We had originally planned on picking up a kit at Best Buy on black friday but ended up finding a better deal online.

This is the kit we picked up off Amazon:
  • Rebel XS Body
  • 18-55mm Lens
  • 75-300mm Lens
  • 8GB Card
  • USB card reader
  • Spare battery
  • Carrying case
Battery is currently charging so no fun w/ it yet. I find it funny that I had to take a picture of my new fancy camera on my old P&S.

and the obligatory picture of Moose...


Post some links to you pictures in the comments! Happy Holidays!

[L] Alabama official approved songs

Well, it looks like Alabama had to fire somebody, so the guy that got canned appears to be the fall guy. Do the rednecks still seem classy?
