The time is finally upon us!!  Don’t miss the start of the awesome Random! Cartoons!  They are set to air tomorrow, December 6th, 2008 at varying times on Nicktoons Network.

Flavio with his voice, Emmy Award winning actor Rob Paulsen. Rob is, without a doubt, one of the best voice actors of our time.

My brother Mike made an AWESOME Random! Cartoon called Flavio, but still no info on when that one will air.

Flavio is an Italian goat who works as a dishwasher in a Pizzaria but aspires to be much more than that. Someday he hopes to be a great inventor like his hero Leonardo DaVinci. No one says it better than Flavio himself, “One-a day, straight to th’ top!”

Anyway, rush over to see the listings and be sure to change the location for your TV provider so you get the right time and channel.  Its set for 1:30 Eastern, 10:30 Pacific according to what I can tell.

First up on Saturday are Solomon FIX; MooBeard the Cow Pirate; Two Witch Sisters followed by Sunday’s airing of The Finster Finster Show; Adventure Time; Mind the Kitty.

Its going to be an awesome show!

I’ll of course annouce it as soon as Flavio is going to air as well!

We’ve had two Compassion International kids for over a decade, and the experience has been fantastic.  They are a great group with a real heart for children.  Their work makes a material difference in the lives of the kids.

My cute CI Kids.

I love my 2 kids!  Uwimana is from Rwanda and a sweet, sweet girl.  She has struggled in school and hardship at home, but has come a long way from when we first sponsored her.   Helio is a handsome boy from Brazil who loves soccer and art.  He lives with his Grandmother and every letter from him comes with a beautiful picture.

Emily thinks of them as being a sort of brother and sister and sometimes plays with their pictures, making them talk as if they were really with her.  She mentions them often enough to let us know that their lives and struggles have had an effect on her, even at 4.

For a few bucks a month, its a great way to make a personal difference in the lives of people who really need it.

I took these about a week ago, when our pool was still open.  I so enjoyed swimming with Emily this season.  It was like watching pure joy every day.  I didn’t want to forget a single detail, so I bought an Underwater Housing for my wife’s Canon IS700 camera.  The results were pretty fun!

I can’t wait until next year!

Speaking of silly YouTube videos that make me pee myself.

Have you met Charlie and his not-too-bright-brother?

This one really snuck up on me!  My sister-in-law sent me the link and the first time I watched it I thought, "What? That’s not that funny…"   I watched it again just to make sure.  Then I started to chuckle.  Later that night, I kept saying "OWCH, CHARLIE!" (UK accent intact, of course..) and I was LMAO.

I showed it to H, and she just looked at me like I was sick.  Maybe I am, but at least I’m in good company!  :)  41 million views and counting!  The original post seems to not work in my page here (keeps giving me a no longer available listing) so I put up a squatter version.
