the new radical

drawing pictures during church is the new radical.

so. people have been bothering me about posting peru pictures. guess what? i am not your slave. i will not be used. you will not be a parasite off my life.

so i will post some pictures that i drew during church today. it helped me get through. i am not an artist, nor do i claim to be. and no, i am not prince hamlet, nor was i meant to be. but i think i did do peter justice. please see below.



above iss a picture of some girl looking out the window. she is scared because she doesn't want to face the alien robot that is attacking the city.




This is Peter as he prepares to give a talk in church. he is thinking a lot about atp. in fact, he can't get the krebs cycle out of his mind.



becca and i were talking and we decided to illustrate a short history of mullet. my favorite one is the one about the apostles.

so i hope everyone is having a good time. i am thinking about posting peru pictures, but i will do it on my own timeline.

thank you.

stephen,

you hate me for my at-school activities? turning the other cheek, i only have to say that i admire you for your at-church activities.

Stephen said...

skinny:

you know what i like most about you? nothing. thats right nothing. oh...but i do like your loving and non-judgmental ways.

paul said...

Stevie, did you really draw the top picture? It looks vaguely like an elderly woman behind the counter in a small town.

you are the new radical.

S.F.,

Glad to see you are making good use of the blank side of the program. Also, glad to see you are making good use of your planning time these days. Guess what. I'm freaking in school, don't have jack squat planned for the day/month/year/my whole ever-loving life and I don't even care. In fact, I'm commenting on your blog on the clock. This is the apex of my existence right now.

Stephen said...

you will notice that my initials stand for both san fransisco and spanish fork.

stephen: how are you enjoying your new toothbrush? don't you love those angled bristles? you're more than welcome.

why does the girl who's afraid of alien robots look like she's blindfolded and tied to the chair? that picture is a little scary.

your likeness of peter is very good.

peter: how was your church talk? have you had any other talks?

stephen and becca: how was peter's talk?

skinny: you are very charitable. but i'm not sure i like you anymore after you sided with peter.

paul: what up?

S.F.: does that mean you are a homosexual farmer?

paul said...

homosexual farmer crossed my mind too. was that your intention?

hi dd. i'll tell you more than you wanted to know: the kids have colds, aren't sleeping well (amy takes the brunt of that) and i start hell month in a few days (i like to call it eternal medicine).

but i'm not complaining. byu plays on thursday and on a channel i can watch in the comfort of my own home. it's like christmas midweek. and we're going to disneyland on wednesday too (christmas and new years).

paul said...

and dd, i'm glad you try to keep peter in line.

paul said...

stevie, you'd almost think you were an artist. what is the wall hanging of robots and 1993? 1983? enigmatic brother...and creepy. is that bearded man your father of days gone by.?..

Surely the year refers to the year the WTC was bombed and Bill Clinton was sworn in as president...

paul said...

i've thought all along that bill clinton is the alien robot leader.

beccashim said...

dd,

these are the notes i took during peter's talk:

-*cough*
-unjustifiably bad 80's haircuts
-*hack*
-history of mullet
-*wheeze*
-*phlegm-bullet*
-service
-blatant hypocrisy

i was moved.

peter: just kidding. you are not a hypocrite...and i am not a liar. for real, kidding...also sorry i got you sick. i'm making a heart right now (and typing).

petey said...

funny you should mention bill clinton. i've heard him speak several times recently and have come to the conclusion that its too bad that dems can't run him for office again. he the first dem in awhile that i've actually heard that made sense and proposed some course of action. if he could really do what he said he would do, i would vote for him (don't tell grandpa frandsen, especially now while he's in recovery) seriously it about time the dems had some leadership. too bad he would only be eligible for 2 years tho. the republicans better bring the raucus to the caucus if they want to hold on the power seats in the next couple years...

that said, i will never vote for hillary!

Stephen said...

dd.
she is not blindfolded nor is she tied. she has a blanket over her lap. she does not want to go fight the alien robots. oh and i love the toothbrush.

paul.
the wallhanging is a diploma she recieved in 1993 after graduating from robot-fighting trade school. she is trained to control and ward off alien-robots; however, she is obviously not living up to the task.

pt. hello cousin.

becca. there are no hearts shaped like your hands.

dd and paul. please don't bring up homosexuality in reference to me. i'd rather not come out in cyberspace

petey said...

speaking of the new radical. y'all shoulda seen the free radicals floating like balloons and confetti at one of the wildest shows i think i've ever been to. (stevey and i just got back from the flaming lips show at hammerstein ballroom) seriously, unreal.

paul said...

sounds flaming.

bill did some good. he is certainly the most coherent democrat is washington right now. all the others are flailing about in a mire of anti wal-mart and anti war rallies. they may just blunder through another political season--not grabbing the seats that are ripe for their picking.

why are so out of touch? is that they take so much money from multi-billionaire movie stars who pretend to fight world poverty from their mcmansions? but bill does that too. i agree though peter, maybe his ability to compromise his moral standards has allowed him to compromise with the republicans and bring about real results--political results peter.

and while hillary would probably be a better president than bush 2 was, i can't vote for her because of the apalling shortsidedness of her health care plan.

stevie: the wall hanging unfortunately serves not to embolden her, but cripple her. it hangs as a reminder of her ineptitude and bill's virility.

becca: looks like you're trying to help dd keep petey in line. good for you.

since i don't go to sweet shows i'll just have to look forward to trying out my new pennywise album tonight...after the kids go to bed...in case your reading mom.

paul said...

you're

paul said...

flaming pennywise.

paul: merry christmas and happy new year! although i can't get equally excited about byu football, i'm a big fan of disneyland. even with sick kids and long shifts, your wife sounds like a rock star and you get to go to disneyland on a weeknight. i guess life is pretty good.

becca: i'm pretty sure you are awesome....and you're wicked funny.

peter: i voted for clinton the first time around. too bad his sexual antics kept everyone from noticing that he was a pretty good president. he is super intelligent...but also a little slimy. hillary bugs.

stephen: what if alien-robot-fighting-girl wants to make love...not war?

bex said...

maybe if the robotalien had a mullet it wouldnt be so scary looking.

paul said...

peter? pearl jam?

why isn't bex upset that stephen is encroaching on the new awesome? the new radical has a nice ring to it.

after attending robot fighting trade school she became an intern.

paul said...

i've always suspected that deltar is a hippie.

paul said...

in re-reading stevie's post i think attention needs to be turned from the alien robot fighting intern and focus on stephen. he said:

"people have been bothering me about posting peru pictures. guess what? i am not your slave. i will not be used. you will not be a parasite off my life."

the root message here is this: people in my life that have expectations of me and want to be a part of my life are rapacious, freeloaders and parasites.

stevie, please don't resort to name calling with those closest to you...

maybe becca will draw a heart for you too brother.

Stephen said...

hello? hello?

my dream has been for the girl named bex to comment on my web log. and it has happened.

people: political talk is only allowed on this web log insofar as it thwarts alien robot activity.

bex: the robotalien is supposed to be scary looking. a mullet, of course, would make him good looking (as all mullets do). so he must not have one of those. right?

dd: i'm not quite sure what you're getting at....does this mean you want to go out?

paul: send me some pennywise song over my electronic mail.

petey said...

dude, bex in the dominion. that's gotta be THE new awesome!! (or at least a new awesome.) i too couldn't think of a better moment. maybe even in my whole life.

bex.
welcome. (unofficially, since i don't have the admin privileges to actually welcome you).

paul.
thanks for thanking everyone. if i get outta line, there's gonnbe a whole lotta people to share the blame.

dd.
done and done.

stephen.
sometimes i think the dems are a bunch of robots: gore. kerry. dean. hillary. but at the same time, how hot would cheney be with a mullet? now that image alone would put the alien robots insurgents in their "last throws..."

Anonymous said...

stephen: obviously. duh.

peter: congratulations...i guess?

bex: hi. my name is deedee. can i join the H4P movement? i want to take a stand...on my head.

Hi Everyone.
Now that mullets have come back into fashion, maybe that also means Jonny and Mel’s blog is in fashion? All I know is that some force has inspired Jonathan to revive the blog (BYU’s big win last weekend might have something to do with it). I doubt DJ’s video wasn’t meant for a large audience, but Jonny posted it just the same. Mullets, BYU Football and DJ’s tribute all await you.
Not that our life is half as enriching as Deltar’s but, parasites are always welcome. ;)

paul said...

paul talks too much.

Really, though, I am glad this post came along to break up the Paul-and-Petey show--even if it doesn't have real photos.

I had no idea the alien underground was so active. Really.

Truth is, I'm again endeared to the dominion again because dd called me a rock star. dd, you should come to Disneyland with us. Stephen said he didn't want to.

Go Cougars.

paul said...

No, really... I'm just glad this post broke up the Paul-and-Petey show.

petey said...

amy.
a hyperlink...? does that mean the day has finally come...? paul will finally have an hyper-outlet for his mind. he can direct the topics any way he pleases. anxious to see how california residents turns out. i hope its all micheal and byu name pronoucing lessons.

dd.
if you go to disneyland with the paul/amy frandsen family, please take me...! if there were an emoticon for on-my-knees-and-begging-you, i would type it in right now.

paul said...

yes peter, you found the site before we could make it to the punch. here is our new site! we hope you enjoy and we'll see if we can keep up with it with any semblance of regularity.

Anonymous said...

amy: i would LOVE to come to disneyland with you. i just need to save up a few more vacation days.

stephen: first you're too good for sushi, now you're too good for disneyland? we need to talk.

peter: if by asking me to take you to disneyland you mean pay for you---not a chance. (what...do you think i'm your sugar momma?) otherwise, i'd love your company on space mtn...as long as it's okay with paul, amy, michael and the twins, of course.

california residents: cool blog.

Stephen said...

hello. paul: shameless self-promtion on my web log? thats what i like to see. keep it up.

skinny: can't you even talk?

dd: lets hang out. how about it?

paul said...

dd: it's okay with me, michael, abby and bekah (i can't speak for amy) if you sit in the dark with petey on space mountain.

Anonymous said...

Paul can't really speak for Abby and Bekah, either.

Go cougars and go John Beck. Hobbling on and off the field, he still threw a great game!

jonny: hi. i was down with conference too. bednar was great...and can i get a shout out for edgely and holland?

stephen: new post. now. seriously. i don't want to have to hurt you.

paul said...

jonny: did you go to wycoff's review? byu really got the job done huh? there were so many times where they could have choked (and two almost interceptions) that would have changed that game. good for them.

dd: everybody say 'hey holland. hey edgely'. please hurt stephen. physically.

conference was great

pete: neat.
