Jim Bear

If you've ever had a hard time saying your sorry this is the perfect answer to that problem. We learned this as kids from our friend Spencer Burton (that's him second from the right sitting next to Mason). We used to like to pretend we were WWF wrestlers on Spencers trampoline. He had this giant stuffed bear that we called Jim Bear to practice all of our moves on. Well we got in a disagreement one time with Spencer, about something silly I'm sure, which meant we weren't talking for awhile. Well a week or so went by and nobody wanted to bridge that gap. Then one afternoon I got a phone call and all the caller on the other end of the line said was "JIM BEAR". Enough said! There was no need for useless apologies, or embarassing yourself by admitting fault. Jim Bear said it all. So if you have a hard time saying I'm sorry to a spouse or friend, or you haven't talked to somebody for a while because of a rift between you- here's your cure. Waste no more time, pick up the phone and drop those two simple words "JIM BEAR" all will be mended and you'll be back to drop-kicking stuffed animals on the tramp in no time.

Are you trying to apologize to Brandon for something? Or are giving him the hint to apologize to you. :)

I just ran across this old picture and it reminded me, plus Brandon reminded me it was Spencers birthday. We spent most afternoons after school at his house watching Bon Jovi ont the MTV countdown as none of the rest of us had cable. We learned a lot of things there that we probably shouldn't have. He moved away shortly after, but we had a lot of good times there.

Awesome post, Ferg. I love that you can see the 'Time Machine' in the background. I also love that you can see your old TV. In order to get it to work right, you had to remove an encyclopedia from the bookshelf, and smack it as hard as possible against the side of the TV. Ahh, the good old days (when television was also furniture)...

I also love the scratches on Mark the Shark's face. He was always busted up in some manner.
