I know a lot of you don’t have small children, but I do, so you’ll have to deal with a toddler post.  Do any of you watch Thomas the Tank Engine?  We are not HUGE fans of it, but it does come on Sprout at night while we are settling in, so Ashton usually watches it.  Every night I say to myself that the narrator’s voice sounds really familiar.  Well I finally paid attention to the credits - it’s George Carlin!!!

Now don’t get me wrong, I love George Carlin, in fact I took Todd to see him live for one of our first real dates and we had a blast - BUT…who thought that he would be a good narrator for Thomas the Tank Engine?  Who was sitting around the table brainstorming this one?  Well, he has to have a unique voice and he has to be able to offend someone at the drop of a hat, oh and drugs, make sure he has used A LOT of drugs in his life.  I think it is hilarious that they picked him for the job.  You know who it was before that?  Ringo Starr - another shining example.

You would think that with all this high dollar talent the show would at least be worth a shit and Thomas would not be such a whiney bitch!!!  No such luck!!!
