My little ponies

Here's to an awesome new year with friends that don't neigh in your ears or try to eat your awesome black hair.

M is for...

Miniature men make merry munching many marvelous M&M's Minis.

Puzzled Part II

And now the exciting conclusion to the stacking tower puzzle:



I readily righted my error.  Well, I did as fast as a little man can.







Puzzle complete!



Who da man?  Little Man da man!

Going bananas

Bananas are a fantabulous source of number 19 on the periodic table.  After you eat the inside, don't smoke the peel.  Smoking is bad! 



Be awesome and toss the peel into a compost pile to biodegrade instead.  I'm lucky that I'm plastic and will not easily biodegrade unlike you, if you should happen to die. 

Still a whole man

It's a mystery how I end up in dangerous situations so often.  Take this one for instance:



I recently found myself in a pill cutter with the sharp blade just mere millimeters from my awesome black hair. 



Never fear, though.  My hair is still intact and, I might add, quite lustrous.  The rest of me is still whole as well.  Two halves of a man I shall not be.

Little Man's holiday DOs and DON'Ts

Merry Christmas, everyone! 

'Tis the season to be a little man!  Fa la la la la!

In the spirit of giving, I'm sharing some DOs and DON'Ts for this holiday season.

DO:

• Eat, drink, and be merry but not too much.
• Spend time with your family and friends.
• Be good so Santa brings you presents next year.
• Have an awesome Christmas. 

DON'T:

• Hit your brothers and sisters.
• Give your unwanted veggies to the dog.
• Mess with the nutcrackers.
• Drink and drive.

 

I definitely will have an awesome Christmas now that I don't have pine needles up my spiffy yellow pants.  Cheers! 

Puzzled Part I

Ah, a classic stacking tower puzzle.  Just my size, almost.  And made of one of my favorite materials -- plastic!  Plastic men love playing with plastic toys.











My, my, that's not quite right, is it?  My bad.  Stay tuned for part two!

Rubbery, not buttery

I unpacked my picnic lunch.



This table was splendid!  It was perfect in size and color!



What to start off with?



Croissants!  I found them to be a little rubbery and dense rather than buttery and flaky.



Then I had a couple of hot dogs.  They were kind of tough and chewy.  The fact that the buns were the same color as the hot dogs was a bit disconcerting.  But I ate them anyway.



Soon all I had left was a sole stiff slice of wheat bread.  I tried feeding it to a duck but the duck wouldn't eat it.  So I ate it  -- the bread, that is, not the duck.

But-but-butter cookies

These are not Royal Dansk Danish Butter Cookies.  These are Rich Fields Butter Cookies!



But they smell like the Royal Dansk cookies.  And they taste pretty much the same, too. 



The main difference?  They're made in China rather than Denmark.  Do you know where I was made?  I don't. 



Feeling like rich fields tonight?  Well, then, skip on over to a Rite Aid and pick up a tin!

Little Man's book recommendation

Trying to find a good book to read?  Well, I'm here to help!  I highly recommend John Jakes' Heaven and Hell.  It's the third book of the author's North and South trilogy.  Remember: Reading does your brain good!

Yoga? Yawn.

Yo.  A friend introduced me to yoga today.  Here I am testing out a few poses:









Oh, this last one isn't a pose.  It's me falling asleep during my yoga session.

Scaling the bun

I bought a delicious BBQ pork bun from ABC Bakery. 



I always enjoy a physical challenge so I decided to scale the bun before devouring it.



Granted, the bun wasn't terribly high. 



Reaching the top always gives me an awesome high, though.  I ended up doing a little jig on top while singing The Jackson 5's awesome song "ABC".  Hurrah!

Saving the world

I found an awesome stash of guns today.



I practiced firing a few to find a suitable one.  Or two.  Or three. 



I made my choices.



And I was off to save the world!



It's a mighty big shame that my awesome maroon jet was out of fuel.



So I hopped into my super cool all-terrain six-wheeler and took off to combat the world's evils.

A wall of chocolate

¿Te gusta Hershey's chocolate hecho en México?  These bars, however, were made in awesome Pennsylvania.

Oat hat

I was unknowingly knocked into and mixed in with a bunch of granola and ended up at the bottom.  I pushed my way up to the surface. 



And emerged with an awesome oat atop my head.

Awesome oldness

The other day I took a little trip to Old Sacramento. 



Standing near the arch between Downtown Plaza and Old Sacramento.



In Old Sac.  See the awesome old building in the background?



Sitting near an awesome old train as rain started sprinkling down.



Taking a walk along the river on the awesome old wood.

Fitting in

Can you fit inside the city like a little man?

Swimming with the beans

I worked hard today.



I prepped a bunch of green beans for cooking.



Lifting a bean to carry over to the pot.



Inside the pot.  As you may have noticed, I also broke the beans in half. 



I may not be able to dance with the stars but I can swim with the beans!



Floating along in my blissful bean pool.  Well, I didn't really float anywhere.  I kept bumping into beans.
