Having trouble squeezing into t-shirts  is also known as "Orson Wells Syndrome".

I'm  now tempted to post a picture of myself wearing my white, "Get Ready To Meet ... " t-shirt, while ascending the steps of a pool after a good swim.  Fortunately for you, said picture will never exist.

A good rule of thumb: if it takes you more than 4 seconds to get into or out of a t- shirt, it's too small.

  So, last night the kid is staying over at his mom's place.  A short time after he went to bed, I got a text message from his mom that he is rocking himself to sleep, singing to himself.  Singing  the Best Show Theme (the more laid back one).  Epic.

OK, I forgot Orangewhip had a kid.  I thought "The Kid" referred to Tom.  Confusing!

I had a feeling that all that arguing with myself in Chinatown was going to have some sort of weird side effect.

I hope that the other kids think it's funny when he challenges them to chain fights.

He really didn't take to The Gorch.  He mainly likes Philly Boy Roy, Horse, and Timmy Von Trimble.  And he does know that Timmy is a "bad guy".

Timmy is a VERY bad guy.  Still, some Gorchisms from a tyke would be hilarious.

My kid's favorite character is PBR, too. I wonder if it's because he is such a frequent visitor? Or because of the outlandish accent?

Probably it's because he is really funny.

I think it's a goofy voice / catchphrase / outlandish stories mix that makes him so appealing to kids.  Also, I have a collection of PBR calls on my ipod, so he hears the same ones a lot, which kids are big on.  He love talking like Roy, saying  "My House, my clothes, my phone, my boat", talking about Perkiomenville, nem cheesesteaks.  His #1 favorite thing is to do the hoagie breakdown from Rambocky (foot long, ham, provolone...)
