ADORABLY GRUMPY FURBALL Not even a cute shirt with some bunnies in love could cheer up this sad furball.  Why is she sad you ask? Well, you didn’t hear this from me, but rumor has it that she worked a really long day and when she came home her worthless husband, instead of kissing her hello, demanded that she put on a furball hat so that he could take some pictures before the sun went down. Apparently he wants to use pictures of furballs in his next After Effects video. The real tragedy of this situation is that his next After Effects video is probably going to suck worse than his first one, which, well… sucked. Again, you didn’t hear this from me.

RIGBY IN JAPAN 01 - “RABBIT RIDIN’ RIGBY” Yep, it’s true, we shoved Rigby in a suitcase and dragged him to Japan. He immediately became obsessed with Japanese game shows and rarely left our hotel room. This unfortunately means that he was not in too many photos. However, he made a brief public appearance once he heard about our new rabbit friend. Rigby’s a lover, not a hater, and he especially loves other animals that may, or may not, be real (much like himself).

SAD STUFF IN JAPAN 02 - “MY WIFE’S PATHETIC ATTEMPT AT A COZY WINTER CAP” Not even a pair of furball earmuffs could save this train wreck of coziness. Trust me, Vicki may look cute and comfy in this photo, but it’s all acting. As soon as the camera was off she was literally begging me for my cozy winter cap. I said “Hell no woman! It’s not my fault you created some haphazard frankenstein contraption to keep your head warm! I’d rather give you a kiss in public than give up my cozy winter cap!!!” (If you know me this is sort of funny as I am VERY against public displays of affection). Anyway, I think it goes without saying that Vicki ultimately ended up with my cozy winter cap. Once she starts talking with her fists I tend to give in to her demands. To read more tales of our cozy winter cap drama while in Japan click here, here, or here.

COOL STUFF IN JAPAN 20 - “MY FAVORITE THING IN THIS PHOTO IS NOT THE RABBIT” Because while the rabbit is indeed awesome, it is nowhere near as awesome as my cozy winter cap. Its coziness knows no bounds!!! Sometimes I feel bad because my cozy winter cap has never gotten to experience what it’s like to wear a cozy winter cap. One day before I die I hope to get a cozy winter cap for my cozy winter cap so that it can finally feel it’s own magical coziness.

FLASHBACK FRIDAY 07 - “GIANT GERBIL AND VICKI” A few years back Vicki and I spent a weekend in San Francisco. As we were walking to nowhere in particular we crossed paths with a giant gerbil. Vicki said “Damn gerbil, how’d you get so big?”. The gerbil replied “I ate one too many ugly little girls named Vicki”. Vicki said “Damn gerbil, good thing I’m pretty”. The gerbil said “You sure about that?” Vicki and I slowly backed away and spent the rest of the weekend hiding out in a cell on Alcatraz hoping that the giant gerbil didn’t know how to swim.

Past Christmas Classics: 2006 CHRISTMAS CARD “MERRY MILLER HO HO HIGH LIFE” We had about 100 of these made up at Target. I believe the caption read “Tramps like us, baby we were born to run - The Boss” followed by “Peace! Tanner and Vicki”. Obviously we were heavy into Bruce Springsteen at the time. Actually, I was the only one heavy into Bruce, I’m not too sure Vicki was all that thrilled with the caption. A bit of trivia: We’ve been portraying variations of these two lovable characters in every Christmas Card since the beautiful disaster you see here. Another bit of trivia: I’m wearing ladies pants in this photo.
