Thanks To You

Thank you for spending some of your time at my website throughout 2008. I really appreciate all the comments left and emails received. This next year promises to bring even more Taco Zeitgeist posts.

Happy New Year

Spreading the Joy III: Joy Harder

Joy Harder

The reviews from last year’s card, pictured above, made it clear that it was a mega-hit!

I didn’t think Ken was that silly. – Grandma

What is this crap? – L.K.

You never sent me a card. – J.C.

41 cents postage due. Why bother? – P.H.

The Ultra Limited Edition Ken and Kaela Kristmas Kard (of Epic Win) is coming soon. This year’s card promises to be even cheaper than last. Get your addresses in so we can fill your mailbox with more junk!

Leave addresses in the comments or send an email to kenfager/at/gmail.com In the subject field of your email type “HOLIDAY CARD” so I don’t miss anybody.

Random Confessional

Forgive me Flying Spaghetti Monster for I have sinned. Below is a list of things I may or may not have done.

  • Sending paper plates as postcards through the mail.
  • Recommending with a straight face “Plan B” to a friend in full knowledge that it isn’t meant to be taken by men.
  • Calling the Stewart Hall call box demanding nachos.
  • Filling out magazine subscription cards with the names of friends and loved ones.
  • Sending credit card offers back filled with stale crackers and Skittles.
  • Demanding a new bag of M&M’s because the last one was “full of 3’s and W’s instead of M’s.”
  • Claiming that not taking insulin and having high blood sugars is a safe way to lose weight.
  • Screaming in Taco Bell that the employee with the “G-Money” tattoo on his neck is “rollin’ in Hamiltons.”
  • Asserting that German is “the true language of love.”
  • Asserting shortly thereafter that the French language comes exclusively from “Canada – America’s Hat.”

I encourage you to share your confessions, real or fabricated, in fellowship with me. You may post under a pseudonym if you so desire.

A Time to Celebrate

Yesterday I asked my “better nine-tenths” if she would marry me.

Kaela said yes.

Now is a time to celebrate. The woman I love is going to marry me. I could not be any happier. This means that she will be promoted from girlfriend to fiance.

This also means I have a girfriend position available. Please submit your resume and interviews will commence shortly. (For legal reasons I must disclose that Kaela will be screening all applicants. I doubt she will find a qualified candidate.)

Congratulations and/or objections may be left by clicking on the “comments” link. Yay!

50 Down, 50 To Go

Since absolutely nothing else of significance is happing in America today, let us take a moment and congratulate my dad. Wayne Fager turns 50 years old on this fine day. Did you know that…:

  • …the Roman numeral L stands for 50?
  • …Paul Simon wrote a song with 50 Ways to Leave Your Lover?
  • …Hawaii was the 50th US state?
  • …110010 is binary for 50?
  • …the 50th element is tin?
  • …50 is a Harshad number?
Don’t worry about him though. He’s got four kids to occaisionally dust him off as he hurdles closer to retirement.
Anyone can be a father, but it takes a real man to be a dad. Happy Birthday Dad!
