Holy shit. I really hate other people's kids.

I don't know who said it first, but kids are like farts. Most of the time, you don't mind your own, but you really can't stand anyone else's.

Both my son and daughter have friends over for the night. This was not something I was consulted on, rather it was something my wife simply informed me about. The new rule is that both parents have to say "yes" to a sleepover, and my answer going forward is "no".

Two 8 year old girls + two 9 year old boys = DarthClem ready to have a meltdown.

It's going to be a lovely day in Wisconsin on Tuesday.  The National Weather Service is predicting thunderstorms, floods, gales, freezing rain, and then blizzard conditions.  The day will start in the mid 40's with thunderstorms and high winds.  The temperature is supposed to drop throughout the day until it gets to -5 in Milwaukee and -15 in other parts of the state.  Windchills are expected to be in the -40's.

This should suck quite a bit...

One thing that really pisses me off is a demo that you just can't exit from. You know what I'm talking about -- you hit the start button and press "quit game" from the menu, then it either makes you sit through a movie or half a dozen ad screens that list all of the game's features.  And you can't skip through any of them. Eventually, you just give up and hit the guide button and press Y to return to the dashboard.

It makes it all the worse when the demo sucks in the first place. I'm talking to you Turok.
