Tomfoolery Report v. 2 n. 5 The Mud Slide

One sunny Friday afternoon at work, a co-worker and I decided to take a walk over to the Bento Truck that was in a parking lot down the street. The parking lot was under construction and the crew had excavated a three or four foot wide strip out of the pavement.
My co-worker jumped across it without any trouble, only a small bit of mud on his shoe. I should have jumped where he jumped.
I landed in another area on the far side and the trench tried to eat my shoe. It sunk in the mud clear up to my sock.

















Over at the Bento Truck people were looking at me funny, after I explained what happened, someone said, "Oh! I thought you accidentally just wore two different shoes." Nice.

After the mud dried, I had one black shoe and one white shoe. I felt like Pee Wee Herman sporting a white shoe.

Tomfoolery Report V. 2 N. 4 The Jimmer

You'll always remember where you were during 9/11, and for some of us, we'll always remember where we were when Jimmer and the BYU basketball team got closed out of the NCAA tournament. I was at Eric's apartment.

I don't remember this scenario because I'm a BYU fan, no, I remember it because Eric is a BYU fan. A huge BYU fan.

Round about halftime in the ill-fated game, Eric left for the bathroom. I heard a loud bang and figured there had been some kind of anger release in the can. Sure enough, the door felt Eric's pain. I think Jimmer felt it too...

Tomfoolery Report V. 2 N. 3

Please remember: When you point the finger at someone, there are three more pointed back at you! (If you're thinking, "Why are there three people pointing at me?" keep mulling it over.)


















If "your" going to call the world out on how "priviliged" with intelligence you are, maybe run the text by one of us simpletons to check the spelling and grammar before you make the border. Hopefully the person making the border for Mr. Smarty here got a chuckle when he asked, "You want the border to read exactly how you've written it?" "Yes, I'm calling the world out on their stupidity! Booyeah world! In your face!!"

Sadly, no surprise this is on a Chevy. ;)

Tomfoolery Report in Idaho

In honor of the recent 4th of July celebration, I'll share some memories from last year's festivities. The wife and I headed up to Idaho Falls to see the fireworks up there. We arrived WAY too early, 3 in the afternoon or so, thinking a good spot would be hard to come by. Turns out not so much. Anyhow, the fireworks were fun and we got to witness a parking lot fight, some Skinheads, and this happy couple.... Don't ask me what they were doing, some form of massage/whale rodeo/ruining 4th of July for everyone:

The Tomfoolery Report v. 1 n. 4 - David Bowie

This Tomfoolery Report really needs no introduction. May I present David Bowie as he appears in the childrens movie Labrynth:


















Someone get that man a fig leaf!


This has been The Tomfoolery Report.

The Tomfoolery Report v. 1 n. 3 -Tastes Just Like Chicken They Say!

This TFR is a two-parter

1) At our motel restaurant at Capitol Reef National Park, I ordered a 3 piece chicken meal. The joke was on us when our food arrived 50 minutes later cold as ice. That was when the real tomfoolery happened. May I present to you, one piece of my 3 piece chicken meal. Yes my friends, the joke was on me- "What? We've only got two pieces of chicken left? We need three! Quick, grab that rat and a sharp knife!"



2) This picture comes to us straight from a KFC in Japan, it was taken by my brother in law who got these tasty morsels in his bucket of Colonel's goodness. This is a picture of a picture, so I apologize for the low image quality. On the top of the picture, you have a chicken spine, and below that, you have a fried chicken brain. I don't know if this is better or worse than the infamous battered and fried chicken head from McDonalds, but its enough to make me swear off The Colonel forever.

The Tomfoolery Report v. 1 n. 2 - Flush 'n' Wait

May I present The Tomfoolery Report "Number 2" (Har har har):

As a responsible cell phone owner, I had no choice but to snap a photo of this unisex restroom at The University of Utah.














I'm not sure if the person who thought a chair was needed in here was more of a "team player" or if it was in response to overly strenuous activity. Hey, sometimes you need to take a breather!

Either way, hat's off for making this unisex restroom comfortable for the next person in line!

The Tomfoolery Report v. 1 n. 1 - Curb Hopper

Welcome to the inaugural edition of The Tomfoolery Report!

On November 24th 2008, I witnessed some outright tomfoolery:

Notice the conspicuous white line on the ground leading to the car... Evidently this guy had a little too much of grandpa's cough syrup before driving this morning. On his way into the parking area, he swung WAY too wide on his right turn, hopped the curb, drove across the grass island, and took out a chunk of the concrete curb. Whoopsy.



After he got the piece of curb lodged underneath his car, he kept on driving... "What's that noise?? Its a funny squeaky sound..." After his attempt to drive his high-centered car off the curb chunk did nothing but leave a sweet white line on the asphalt, he got out and gave the piece of curb a good swift kick... Lets think this through mathematically....

(2,000 lb. car/1 curb chunk) + 1 drunk man kick = FAIL.

So, he just walked off and left it until he'd sobered up a little.

Later in the day I came outside to find his car gone. I'm sure he had to jack his car up to get the concrete out from under there, its a shame I didn't get to witness that. However, he was nice enough to leave the chunk of curb in the parking area for someone else to hit.
