Thinking of Something Billowy.. Napoleon Dynamite Edition

Our family has always been obsessed with Napoleon Dynamite.  If you are not familiar with this classic movie… you are probably not missing much. 😉 I’m not sure why we love it.. but we do.  It’s funny, innocent, and bizarre.  I guess to sum it up.. It’s movie about some really strange but familiar characters.

This is Uncle Rico.  He’s having his photo taken at a “Glamour Shots” type place.

Here’s the conversation…


[Deb, while taking a glamour picture of Uncle Rico]
Deb Okay, turn you head on more of a slant… Now, make a fist. Slowly ease it up underneath your chin. This is looking really good.
Kip You can say that again.
[Uncle Rico acknowledges]
Deb Kay, hold still right there. Now, just imagine you’re weightless, in the middle of the ocean, surrounded by tiny little seahorses.
[Uncle Rico gives a gleaming look at the camera]
Deb [takes the picture] That was one that I think is gonna come out really nice.
Uncle Rico Ah, how you did it… wow… well I felt really relaxed. Thanks Deb.
[Uncle Rico puts his fist down, then swats a fly]

Here’s what the men in my family look like doing the same thing:

The Man.. whenever he thinks of relaxing his tongue comes out.

#2 is thinking about tiny seahorses and making WordPress blogs.

#4 thinking of doing cannonballs next to his sister #3.

#5 is thinking of Transformers, Spiderman or some superhero.
