THE W8 4 K8 2K5 IS ON!

Whew! The school crunch is in full effect... only a week and a few days until I am officially done. Not only that, but there are a few more exciting events on the near horizon including the relocation of Kate, Matt, and two year old Elliot Chase to the beautiful city of Boulder Colorado. Also, dear friends Colin and Lori begin their cross country trip in less than a week, with an official tour stop in the CO. But I digress... today's update is all about my cellphone. Over the last 6 + months I have been continually saving and resaving voicemails on my celly cell, and I have accumulated some mildly amusing recordings. Check 'em out below:

This is an ACTUAL voicemail from a Nigerian scammer "named" Matthew Ferguson. Click here if you are unfamiliar with the various Nigerian 419 scams. It's barely audible, but also pretty cool that he made the long distance phone call on his $ and I got FAKE MONEY ORDERS.
Listen here as Brett pleads drunkenly...
I'M LOST!
I DON'T KNOW WHERE I AM.
COME PICK ME UP!
Here's a clip of my Grandfather singing me The HB song last June. Not really funny, but mildly amusing when you think about it.

As some of the more hardcore regular readers may remember from one of the old X-Mas photo spectaculars, our good friend Katie has a professed proclivity for certain hand gestures during photographs.

May I present Exhibit A. The following photographs have been culled from various sources (thanks Liz!) for a comprehensive look at the enigma that is Katie Guthro's hand gestures.

Some of these photos have accomplices in the obscene gesture effort, while others offer scenery AND obscenity! Without further adue, may I present the Katie's Hands Picture Show:

BONUS: I took some time the other night to document my strangest pizza delivery ever. Check out the story HERE.
