Christmas Fun for Tykes

Smutty ChristmasThe countdown to Christmas can be nerve wracking for any parent.  If your little ones are waiting not-so-patiently for Santa Claus to show up, Smutty has a couple of great activities for you to distract them.  After all, humans aren’t allowed to swat their young one to the ear when they are annoying.

First up, Reindeer Cam.  This is a great site that integrates with Facebook and shows live footage three times a day of Santa coming out to feed the reindeer.  And you can submit your child’s name to the “nice” list and have them wait for it to scroll across the screen.  Should buy you 15 to 20 minutes of quiet time.  If you are on the go at feeding time, there is an iPhone and iPad app as well as Android and Windows 8 apps available.

Next is the Santa Tracker from NORAD.  It is available in several languages so is great for nearly everyone.  Check out the promo video below.

Last but not least is the North Pole where all of the Christmas action takes place.  There are stories, printable coloring pages and activities to keep young humans busy for hours.  You can even spread out the fun over several days by only choosing one building at a time to focus on.  Easy to navigate by choosing a building that tells you what it is from the workshop to the mailroom.

Smutty wishes you and your furry and non-furry families a very Merry Christmas and a Blessed New Year!

 

Black Friday Morphs into Black Thursday

Smutty loves turkey and naps.  A day that celebrates both is Smutty’s idea of a perfect holiday.  So, the idea of giving up any part of a day of food, family and napping leaves Smutty baffled.

Why, oh why, would anyone get up from a feast and leave to go shopping?  For stuff no one needs?

What about leftovers?  What about seconds? What about the naps during the Christmas movies?

black Thursday

Smutty says it is time to put an end to the madness.  Keep Thanksgiving sacred.  Don’t shop unless it’s from your couch.  Use your laptop or tablet to browse.  Don’t leave your family to go shopping.

If you do go, don’t complain when you return to no pie or dark meat from the turkey.  Thanksgiving shopping for anything other than gravy and cranberry sauce is just wrong.

Bruce to The Rescue… Again!

Smutty SleepsSmutty is an action movie fan.  Not being inclined toward action himself, Smutty lives vicariously through action heroes for excitement.

There has been kind of a lull in the action at the movies since this summer’s bounty of blockbusters such as The Avengers and Batman The Dark Knight Rises.  But now, joy of joys, Bruce Willis has jumped back to Detective John McClane in A Good Day to Die Hard, coming in February, 2013.

The trailer promises more explosions, shooting, leaping from impossible heights and smart-alec quips, McClane style.

This time out, the plot centers on McClane’s son who has somehow managed to get himself in a bind in Moscow of all places.  If one McClane is trouble, two should be unstoppable.  Smutty will be banking up his naps to be able to make it through this sure to be great addition to a classic franchise.

Thursday Toons

Smutty found some funny comics around the web and wanted to share.  Have a fun time waiting for Friday.

Smutty will now return to his regular nap schedule.

And Now For a Lighter View of Politics

Smutty found a great site with political jokes rounded up.  Take a look, but don’t drink your coffee or Coke while reading.

“Mitt Romney is worth half a billion dollars and he’s saying he pays 13 percent annually in taxes. Al Capone paid more than 13 percent in taxes, ladies and gentlemen.” –David Letterman

“Mitt Romney says he’s never paid less than 13% in taxes, which I think is fair because only 13% of his money is in this country.” –Jay Leno

“Mitt Romney’s wife says her husband loves caffeine free Diet Coke. Or as it’s known in the Mormon community, the ultimate gateway drug.” –Conan O’Brien

“You got to feel bad for poor Mitt Romney. He’s in their plugging every week, and every week somebody gets ahead of him. The people who have led Mitt so far: Donal Trump, then Michele Bachmann, then Rick Perry, now Herman Cain. He’s been led by a reality show star, a crazy lady, a stuttering cowboy, and the guy who brings the pizza. That’s gotta hurt a little.” –Bill Maher

“The founder of Home Depot announced that he is supporting Mitt Romney for president. It’s kind of a nice story, because Mitt Romney was actually assembled with parts from Home Depot.” –Jimmy Fallon

“I think Mitt Romney and Sarah Palin would be the perfect ticket. She can’t answer basic questions, and he has two answers for every question.” —Jay Leno

“No! Not Captain Buzzkill! Not the guy who looks like everyone who ever fired your dad! He’s gonna suck all the fun right out of this crazy thing. Just look at the online video announcing his run. It looks like it could double as an ad for erectile dysfunction pills. ‘Mitt Romney: for when the moment’s right.'” —Jon Stewart on Mitt Romney running for president

“Mitt Romney looks like a guy modeling briefs on a package of underwear … He looks like a guy who goes to the restroom when the check comes … He looks like a guy who would run a seminar on condo flipping … He looks like he is the closer at a Cadillac dealership…. He looks like that guy on the golf course in the Levitra commercial.” —David Letterman

 

Looper is Fast-Paced Sci-Fi Action

Bruce Willis is one of Smutty’s favorite actors and Looper is shaping up to be another of his great works.  A fresh premise, great acting and plenty of mayhem are Smutty’s idea of a great film formula.

In Looper, Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Bruce Willis play the same character, Joe, at different ages.  Through time travel, the mob places hits on their enemies.  Joe is sent back 30 years in the past to be bumped off by his younger self.

Since the elder Joe is played by Bruce Willis, we know he is not just going to go quietly.  And that’s where the fun starts.

Grimm Delivers Fast-Paced Fairy Tales

If you haven’t checked out Grimm on NBC, you are missing out on one of Smutty’s best guilty pleasures. Well written with action, drama and occasional dark humor, this is one of the best things on network TV.

Strictly in the PG-13 category, Grimm is fairy tales meets Michael Myers/Freddy Kruegger and a dash of NCIS. These are not the bedtime stories you tell your kittens and puppies. Catch up on the network site if you are just joining.

Cybergeddon, the Latest Web Series From Yahoo!

Smutty is pondering litigation.  It seems the creators of CSI have come up with a new Web series called Cybergeddon.  It appears to be a great project, but the title is dangerously close to Smutty’s own movie Smuttageddon.

Couldn’t they have found another name for it?  Why have the confusion, Smutty has enough competition without the creators of CSI adding to his troubles.

Well, check out the trailer and let Smutty know what you think.

Teaser Look at Smuttageddon

Smutty’s human has been busy working on his debut video, Smuttageddon.

Smuttageddon chronicles Smutty’s path to world domination.  Unfortunately, Smutty has a powerful
nemesis who continues to get in the way.  Please let us know in the comments if you like the trailer.
