Wipeout!

Ok, I'm not sure how many of you have seen this show Wipeout on ABC, but Eric thinks it's hilarious. Of course he would. It was the ads proclaiming "Big balls!" that lured him in initially, and then when he saw how many people went flying into pools of muddy water, looking like they'll surface with desperate needs to see a chiropractor, he was pretty much hooked. Well, Logan watched the show with dad, and let me tell you, Logan's reactions to the the show trumped people taking a flying leap off of the big balls, in terms of funniness. When someone would bite it, Logan would laugh a laugh that sounded more like a squeal and say, "Did you see that, mama? That was amazing."

Auden has taken a cue from his big brother and has realized that communicating at a higher volume gets you much more noticed, so now he's squealing and screaming at the top of his lungs, usually for no reason at all. Just testing out the pipes he was given, I guess. And we've discovered that watching Logan spinning around in circles is pretty much the Wipeout equivalent for Auden. He squeals and giggles as his big brother gets dizzier and dizzier; after all, Logan likes an audience that appreciates his clowning around.

So, there you have it. Hilarity ensues as usual at the Hill household.

If Logan and Eric like Wipeout, you should definitely see the show that inspired it: Most Extreme Elimination Challenge. It was some wacky Japanese game show--with pretty much the same kinds of physical challenges (and muddy water, of course) but it used to air, as a dubbed show, on FX, I think. The dubbing was done totally sarcastically (MST 3000-esque) and might have been a large part of what I loved so much about it. Worth checking out!
Sorry your house is getting louder and louder--I'm sure that will sto....ok, probably not for about 18 years!!
