movie quotes

Here's a few quotes from Baxter as we spent some time watching movies.

During a preview for a movie rated R...

"You know why this movie's rated R don't you?" "No, why?" "Well, 'cause it's got Marky Mark in it, and that's an automatic R rating"

While watching Herbie fully loaded with the girls..

"If I'd have known Matt Dillon was in this thing, I'd sure have watched it a lot sooner"

aaahhhh...ha ha

Thanks guys so much for all of your questions. I like this! And Baxter's going to weigh in this time as well... yay for us.

From Monica:
if you could have any super power in the world what would it be....and why?


My answer-the ability to fly. I think it would be cool to just take off whenever I felt like it.

Baxter's answer-Laser vision, so when I see a hot dog, and want a hot dog, I can instantly cook it. That, or a good lasagna, or maybe some french fries.

From Triss Teh:

What would you do for a Klondike bar?

My answer- not a whole lot right now. I'm shedding the weight accumulated by 9 years of marriage and three children. But in my gluttonous days, I'd ride down a mountain on a donkey, wearing a cape.

Baxter's Answer- (we can't agree on what's an appropriate answer. I feel his answer does not reflect the humor that should be intended, and he's stubborn so we'll skip this one.)


From wmz, but mostly z

I'm late in asking but...hmmmm...zane said I should ask you if you'd rather have the power to be invisible or make other ppl invisible? teeeheee.

my answer-I would most definitely want to be invisible. Why would I want to give others a chance to sneak up on me and freak me out? Zane, Zane, Zane, I'm a scaredy cat...

Baxter's answer-I want to be invisible, cause if you made somebody else invisible, how would you ever be able to make them not invisible? smells like a lawsuit to me.

Seanathan (a.k.a.)Sharl

If you could spend one whole day with any person anywhere you wanted to spend that day with; who would the person be, and where would you spend the day.

Baxter to Amy "you better well want to spend the freakin' day with me!"
Amy to Baxter "silence"

Thanks a lot Sean...

From Seanathan, Part Deux

If God asked you to tell him what you wanted for Him to give to you - what would it be? (1 Kings 3:5)

Amy's answer- this one's a pretty easy one. I would want to have His constant comfort. Never having to worry about anything because God is constantly comforting me. Although, maybe it should be that He would take my fears away, because God is there as a constant comfort... hmmm, but wisdom is good too...

Baxter's Answer-Solomon's wisdom, and then his money. j/k. just the money. j/k. just the wisdom.


And... how do you think Baxter would answer some of the previously asked quesions :P.


Baxter "I'm done answering questions. I'm going to bed, darlin'."

I'll try to get him to post once or twice about them. We'll see.

Thanks for the questions guys!

Did you all like this as much as I did?

Politico

Am I someone who has studied politics as a science? By no means, but I have invested quite a bit of time trying to identify where I stand on the issues of today. As I sit here right now, I'm just disgusted. Where are the others like me? Why aren't we standing up and saying, "hey, this isn't what we ordered?". I look at the candidates and I see them doing nothing but strutting like those empty eyed models you might see on a catwalk. All the right moves are there, the strut, the turn, the posturing, but I'm left with a feeling that there's nothing below the surface. I'm tired of one story after another of the corrupt, the ambivalent, and the pompous. I know there are others like me. There have to be. They're probably much like me, wondering "what in the yamalama do I do about this?"

I'd be all for a reality show called "survivor, Capitol Hill". Every week, we'd call in like (much like American Idol) and vote them onto a far away island one at a time, until we could wipe the slate clean and start again. Thus, they could start their own inefficient government at their own expense. Maybe I'm on to something here...What do you think?

Okay, my first installment of Answers...

From Kristen...

is there anything that you would prefer to see the girls do when they get older? (e.g. band, cheer, choir, ya know.) pick just one.

Of course, I would love for them to do something musical. It would be something I could help them with more easily. Plus, if they had to deal with "cheerleader issues" like I had to when I cheered, I would hate that for them. Band all the way, babe! However, I haven't really seen them showing signs of being interested in that. So far, I have an artist, a ballerina, and a comedian. But as a trite expression goes, "just so long as they're happy" is a pretty accurate description of how I feel. Good Question.

From Monica...

if you could be a donut, any kind of donut, what kind would you be and why??


As such a deep and philosophical question as this is, I had a hard time grappling with the calorie factor in the equation. Would I want to be something extremely fattening but wonderfully decadent as the eclair, or something simple and healthier like a cake donut? In the end, it was all about the surprise filling of the Jelly donut. I like to think of myself as having more than one layer. Thus, I am a grape jelly donut.

From Jaybrams

what would you tell your parents they should've done better?

Wow, this question kind of makes me squirm in my seat.
My parents did a great job raising me, I'm a reasonable, thoughtful, wonderful person. :) If I could give one piece of retrospective advice to them, it would probably be to wrap our christmas presents earlier. They would always be in their room feverishly wrapping our Christmas presents at 9:00 in the morning. Kristen and I had to wait 45 minutes in the living room to tear into those suckers. :)
And it's hard to believe,but they are even better grandparents than they were parents. They are ALWAYS there for us when we need them.
Thanks Jeremy for the opportunity to thank them.

You can keep the questions coming. I like this.
