Admirable Admiral

So what was going to be a nice quite New Years Eve night in with the Huntington Family, turned into what I like to call.....a semi Royal Rumble.

I tried to document it with our camera but our camera is horrible. We could have really used Jake and his documenting skills. He was definitely missed.

The evening started out with one of our new favorite past times...watching and analyzing the Jersey Shore.

Poor Snookers, never stood a chance....

We decided to play a drinking game involving the Jersey Shore.

Rules:

1. If "The Situation" refers to himself as "The Situation"...take a drink.

2. If they refer to "Snooki" as anything other than "Snooki"...take a drink.

3. If any article of Ed Hardy clothing shows up on the screen...take a drink.

4. If a guy/girl removes their shirt while entering the house...take a drink.

5. If Ferf says, "Sausage and Peppaas"...take a drink.

6. If "Thick Ron" refers to himself as "Thick Ron"...everyone shoots heroine. (Luckily, this did not happen....yet)

And then things went a little nutty....

Having some trouble....

.....little help from a friend.

Fifteen Yard penalty for sure....

Here is my list of……38? I don’t know. This is all I can remember, get off my back. These are my favorite songs o' the year. I’m sure I missed a few. Newer songs tend to nudge out the older songs but I think I did a pretty good job at setting aside new flames for the old when it was called for.
