The Miami Dolphins- Heroes to Non Patriot Fans

The Miami Dolphins beat the New England Patriots 38-13. What more can I say- the team who finished 1-15 beat the 18-1 team. Although I didn't get to watch the game, hearing the news still made my day. Being an avid Cowboys fan, its not that I hate the NE Patriot so its mostly, their fans that really make it hard to cheer for them. And living up here in New England its hard, because everyone and their grandmother loves the NE Patriots, we don't get this good news often.

Annoying fan season here is always going on from the Red Sox, then to the Patriots, the Celtics, and the Bruins- its hard to get away from stupid fans.

I'm glad that Miami won, plus their logo is a little scary, the dolphin is usually a friendly animal (Flipper anyone?), but this one has a scary look in its eye, like its got murder on the brain. Like on that episode of the Simpsons were the dolphins come back, and make people move to the ocean.

This is by far the best team logo

A Little Political Humor

I got a good chuckle outta this one. 

Look at you Pikachu

If Jiroko had a catchprase- it would be Look at you Pikachu.  Pam's would be highly offensive to your sensibilities trust me. Mine would be where's the food?

My good mexiCAN buddy Pam and Jiroko are studying back in texas, and I am studying here in New Hampshire, while chatting on facebook. So we came up with the 3 musketeers of studying.

Turns out there are two things that really mean 3 musketeers, the candy and the novel.  But I also did a search for puppies because I like them more. 

  

I met Jiroko  at college, she is the hardest working smart person I know. A lot of the time really smart people don't study that much but boy howdy, she put everyone to shame studying! Lastly, Pam the hands, I met her through Jiroko when she was getting married. She's the SIL, she's pretty cool if you like being touched all the time, in a way that makes you feel dirty, and full of shame. hehe. 

So we are the three puppies- I don't like 3 Musketeers, and the Leo DiCaprio movie Man in the Iron Mask was bad. So the PUPPIES WIN!  That and Pam and Jiroko are super cute. 

Best.Comic.Strips.Ever.

Get Fuzzy is the best comic strip ever! Its the only one that I actually make an effort to read, well Foxtrot is pretty hilarious too.

   

See what I mean, these are funny.  What's better than a psychotic cat, a slow- witted but well meaning dog,  and the Fox family.  Sometimes there's nothing better than a good chuckle to make you feel better, and I always get them from these two comics.  Bucky is by far the most amazing cat, a siamese who hates primates, and chickens.  

Does anyone else have favorite comics? Not that anyone other than a couple of people read this blog.

Man's Best Friend

My husband is a cat person, I am a dog person. He is a conservative, and I am a liberal. We argue more about the superiority of animals than our political ideologies.  That's Sugar, his cat who currently lives with his parents, I mean sure she's cute, he calls her Sugar-bear. I think the bear part is because if you get between her and something she will KILL you. I would say she's got a mean left hook, but she scratches with all of her paws. She's like 90% vinegar 10%s sugar. While I mostly jest, she is a cute cat, the plus side of petting her is that you develop quick reflexes to prevent yourself from getting scratched.  There are two other cats Diamond and Midnight. If the cats were ladies Sugar would be the angry feminist, Diamond  is the crotchety old lady, and Midnight is the spinster wallflower. 

Now, my dog Bagel, is an angel :). A sweeter dog you have never met. He is like a sweet old southern gentleman with a graying soul patch around his mouth. However if you were to pass out holding a plate of food, he would step over you to get the food on the plate, then maybe he would help. But hey - being someone who loves food, I can understand his priorities.

Some people may ask why I dislike Kobe Bryant. I tell them its because he's a smug, arrogrant, ball player. Who yes is really talented, but look at Lebron James- he's not a jack***. People LIKE him, and he's a really talented player. Don't get me started on Dwayne Wade.

The Flume Gorge

The Flume Gorge is a well known natural attraction in New England.  We spent Sunday in the Franconian Notch , which is basically an area between two mountains, that has a lot of interesting stuff. 

There were tons of people at every place we went to. Also living this close to the canadian border we tend to run into quebecians a lot. 

Also covered bridges are big deal, I'm not really sure why. I've never seen the bridges of madison county, maybe if I watch it, I'll figure out why they are so popular.

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday Amy!

The title of our blog may confuse people, but it is a reference to Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade: 

[to Indiana, while watching a Nazi parade and book burning] 
Professor Henry Jones: My son, we're pilgrims in an unholy land. 

Not to imply that we are living where people have book burnings, but rather,  us feeling out of place. That and we really like Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade which is the best Indiana Jones movie.  

While we like living in New Hampshire, the scenery/landscape is amazing. Coming from city life in Texas, and moving to a place where you can drive to the mountains and go to the beach in the same state is pretty cool, it doesn't feel like home. We both grew up in Texas, and love it there. From Braum's to the Mavs and the Cowboys- its just pure awesomeness.

We chose the pen name Gulliver because he was a traveller who went on interesting journeys. We aren't world travelers but we consider our life an interesting journey. 

I decided to start this blog, with my husband, because I wanted  a way for people who we didn't talk to as frequently to have away to see what's going on with us, without the awkward- jeez its ben a long time since we talked, and calling or emailing out of the blue is kinda weird.  And everyone knows thats really awkward. So I hope y'all enjoy reading our blog which will probably be about gossip (I am a shameless celebrity gossip reader), fashion, running, us, and the kitchen sink.
