This one is definitely from the “where are they now” archives and it should blow your mind. Not because we didn’t know Jason Montgomery was smart but because we didn’t expect him to be a teacher’s assistant at freakin’ OXFORD. I had quite a few classes growing up with Monty and we were both more into pencil fights and paper planes than Applied Mathematics. I had just imagined him headlining at a honky-tonk in Oxford, Mississippi before I saw him hanging out with Pip Havisham.
Regardless, way to represent the Real OC Monty! You can click the image to see his TA’s Page.

In yet another post focused on a person with two first names, I have to ask this site’s faithful followers (all 2 of you, thanks Mom and Lauren)….has Jeremy Henry had his baby yet? Do you mind answering that for us Jeremy or anyone that knows the answer? If yes, can we get some pics of that little guy/girl?

Could be any day now and that little guy will be a free man. Here is the picture to prove it:

I have to take a short break from the Ledger Hinds updates (which means I just lost every Hinds’ family member as readers) to post about the Diabetes Walk we did this past Saturday at Reliant Stadium. Since looking at pictures is way better than reading anything I have to write, here they are:

David wearing a True Religion warmup suit to the walk (I didn’t know they made those either but you can damn sure believe David has a pair….after all, what else would you wear to a charity walk???)

Gabrielle and Rylee Walking (for those scoring at home, she is wearing a size Small t-shirt because she spilled coffee on her Medium)

The Way That We All Felt After Walking

There have been a few common questions that I have been fielding about the Sledge Hammer, so I thought I would address them here:

1.) Is he wearing True Religion jeans in the NICU?

No he is not…….yet. I would give him about a week and he will be busting out his first pair of TR’s.

2.) Did Ledger actually request a higher thread count for the sheets he is laying on in the NICU?

Yes, he did. It is hard to believe, but he just told the nurses that 100 thread count was not going to cut it.

3.) Is Ledger as smart as David is already claiming he is?

No. David claims Ledger already knows English, Spanish, and Italian. I have just heard English and Spanish from him myself. Ledger also believes in alternative energy from corn and I don’t think it can scale up for global usage. Not too smart if you ask me.

4.) Has Ledger already gotten confused by his Nana changing her name to Nonna in just the 3rd day?

Although some would believe that is a tough transition for a 3-day old baby, he has handled it like a champ. Hopefully, Nonna will not pull another switcheroo in the upcoming weeks.

5.) What is Ledger’s thoughts on the election results?

Diplomatically, he has chosen to avoid the issue with “no comment”. I have to commend him for this response.

That is all for now. PR for this baby can wear a guy down.

I just got word from Sledge Hammer’s dad that they have figured out why he is still in the NICU. Apparently, all of the attention from the female nurses hasn’t gotten old to him. David is prepared to bribe him out of there in the next couple of days. I can’t say that I blame Lights Out Ledge. I guess the little guy is a fast learner.

I am at the hospital right now with Mookie and Primo Hinds and we all just got together and came up with a flow for Ledger. Just a little something we came up real quick as we passed the microphone around. It goes a little something like this:

“You could have a steam train
If youd just lay down your tracks
You could have an aeroplane flying
If you bring your blue sky back

All you do is call me
Ill be anything you need

You could have a big dipper
Going up and down, all around the bends
You could have a bumper car, bumping
This amusement never ends

I want to be your sledgehammer
Why dont you call my name
Oh let me be your sledgehammer
This will be my testimony
Show me round your fruitcage
cos I will be your honey bee
Open up your fruitcage
Where the fruit is as sweet as can be

I want to be your sledgehammer
Why dont you call my name
Youd better call the sledgehammer
Put your mind at rest
Im going to be-the sledgehammer
This can be my testimony
Im your sledgehammer
Let there be no doubt about it

Sledge Sledge Sledgehammer”

No big deal, just a little ditty for the little ladies’ man.

**UPDATE**
Apparently, some guy name Peter Gabriel liked our poem so much that he made a music video on YouTube out of it. Cool video and we appreciate the love you are showing us but you have two first names. Is that like Ricky Bobby or something?
