De-poopifying the stupified masses.
It is six days short of one year since my last post. I have a son that turns one on the 25th, but can't really blame him for my lack of posts. Instead, I will blame grass. Not the drug kind, but the kind you mow. If you're not trimming it, you are weeding, watering, fertilizing, chasing dogs off it and the de-poopifying it. It never ends.
After that last sentence, you should all be feeling a wee bit dumber and are now ready to get to know me. I am usually against deep thinking and other brain busting use of my noggin, but I thought this was a great idea. My wife is doing it, my in-laws are doing it, everybody is doing it, so now I will do it. My wife was sent an email or something that asked her to fill out a list of 101 things about herself and then post them to her blog. Have fun reading and please understand that I am not liable for any emotional trauma you may suffer from getting to understand me better.

wow. I now feel closer to you than ever. (said somewhat sarcastically and somewhat seriously.)
This is Dorcus Butsnark and I am writing to inform you that you owe me some royalties for the use of my name in print. Oh, and I really liked your list. It was hilarious!!!
The Philpot's loved learning more about Dan. We have lots in common. But musically something must be done. We have the Beach Boys Endless summer in the car now, Queen we even paid tribute to while visiting Freddy Mercury's statue in Montreux Switzerland, but the Offspring. Dan Dan we are laughing all the way back to our Sophomore year in highschool. Ha Ha. Dan rocks.
