Happy Feet
Posted by boydja under Story
For those of you penguin lovers out there (Debbers) Natalie and I finally had the opportunity to see the move Happy Feet. Of course, we could have rented it at any time but, luckily for us, the mall near us decided to have a family night. Although I did not really put all of the pieces together until we got there, a family night means that a whole bunch of kids and families show up to watch a movie on a large inflatable screen in the middle of a grassy quad. To say that we stood out is a bit of an understatement. Everything was proceeding nicely (I was kicked back in fuma talking to Bryan on the phone and silently laughing at all of the lesser mortals who did not have a super comfortable chair. (Thanks Bob and Lynette)) when this clown comes out of no where and kicks me out of my chair. All things considered it was a rather funny ordeal. Natalie of course made fast friends with the clown. Seriously. I think the clown might be coming over for dinner next week. I told her (the clown) that if she comes over she has to wear her clown shoes. No clown shoes, no dinner. In retrospect, I might have been a bit harsh.
Needless to say, the clown eventually got out of my chair (I guess she decided that she was getting paid to entertain the kids so she had better get on with it) and I was able to enjoy the movie. Good movie, although I felt that I was being run through the penguin version of most of the major political issues of the day. If you have seen Happy Feet, you know what I mean. If you have not, go watch it. Anyway, the next day, Nat and I took this great picture with some of the left over fun we obtain thanks to our new friend the clown.
