We had a very nice time…
Well except for a guy sitting behind us who was talking to his friend about his masterful exploits on the softball diamond.
That unbuttoned shirt, gold chain wearin’ ass clown, bellowed louder and with more bravado than Bill O’Reilly.
For the record, I had a most tasty club sandwich and fries. And Ryno…?
He had a three egg omelet made with ham, sausage, Swiss cheese and cheddar cheese sauce.
He also had two large Cokes, three pancakes, and a plateful of Hash Browns. Like I said, he’s 13, and very hungry.
Afterwards, being the most gracious man that I am, we stopped at Holy Cow Ice Cream Barn and picked up some ice cream for his mom.
Caramel-Banana Ice Cream to be exact. I know, I am selfless.
We shot a short video while traveling from the Barn to his house…my old house…that I landscaped, and paid for..and…well…anyway…
You wouldn’t notice it, but what cracks me up is that his voice is changing.
His voice reminds me of the perils encountered by a young Peter Brady.
So without further adieu…I present to you my precious, carbon-based, teenage testosterone machine, in fact my legacy, Ryno!!
Cheers!!

Actually I have seen a grown man naked. He looked a bit like Elvis and it was very disturbing.
Great video Mini Matt-Man!
HA! What a great kid.
Cheers my friend!
The similarities between you two are just a bit too unsettling. Quick Ryno, turn from the dark side.
People here in Baltimore still talk about the day they met your son. In fact, this might be the real reason Jenna Bush is moving here.
You know, normally I never watch horror flix, but since this was a psychological thriller, I did okay.
BTW, impressive landscaping. You can tend my garden anytime. *wink*
Jay: Man, that is disturbing. I hope you have fully recovered. Cheers Jay!!
Travis: Thank ya, and Cheers to you Trav!!
Jeff: There is no turning back. Ryno....I am your Fahhhther. Cheers!!
People: He rocks every town he goes to. Jenna would be so lucky. Cheers!!
Songbird: Tend your garden, eh? I think I can manage that. And don't worry, my thumb is the only thing that has turned green. Cheers!!
Dammit I have to hook my speakers back up... which my non-comedic children (who think they are funny - they're not) disconnected them for me over the weekend. Nope, they definitely aren't as funny as they think.
There's a lovely moon out tonight.
You are a pleaser, aren't you Matt-Man? Holy Cow Ice Cream Barn, Ryno, and posted video? Loved it!
Your son is a HOOT. My kids would go all 'deer in the headlights' but Ryno was a natural.
Gladiator!
Jen
*sings* Oh when it's time to change you've got to rearrange, who you are and what you're gonna do!
My knowing that song might be more disturbing than the realization that there will be (is) a generation deux of Matt-Man!
Thank you. I enjoyed the video very much. Oh Ryno if I were only thirteen again, we'd see just what octaves that voice of yours could hit. "Jazz hands" excellent. Matt-Man and mini Matt-Man, the gene pool reflects. So gracious of you to share the spot light Matt-Man.
Kid Ryno is a real hoot! I wonder who he gets it from????
Peace
What a great kid! He is a natural on camera...and in life no doubt. I like him!
What are "Jazz Hands"?... was that a dumb question? It cracked me up.
and for the record..I HAVE seen a grown man naked..and I'm really glad Ryan hasn't.
HUGS!!
Covert: I hate to disagree, but I find that and your description of it quite amusing. Cheers!!
Jen: Ha. The Gladiator line was a good one. Too bad Ryno won't see this until he's older. He cannot view my site. Cheers!!
Dana: Knowing that you know that tunes, in my eyes, adds to your hotness. Cheers!!
Lu: Ha. Jazz Hands. He is a big fan of commercials and he likes the new Geico one. Cheers Lu!!
Ryno: Thanks...He gets it from his Dad. We just don't know who that is. ; ) Cheers!!
Leelee: Ha. Aren't we all thankful. Jazz Hands come from a new commercial from Geico. Have a great day lovely one. Cheers!!
Wow...he is certainly a chip off the old block, isn't he?
Mr Fab: His perforamnce wasn't as funny as usual. Because of that, I beat him senselessly when the camera was shut off. Cheers!!
That was good!
Were you poking him in the beginning to get him started?
Loved the classic kid line..
Don't order me around.
Did I see Lupine?
The yard looked great!
Micky: Yeah I had to kick start him. You didn't see lupines. I'm not sure what you noticed. I'll get a couple of better shots for ya one day soon. Cheers!!
Don't eat soup in the rain hahahaha that is funny, you guys is a good team.
You so deserve the smart assed little guy. He RAWKS!
And i'm looking at a grown man naked right now;-)
Roger: Ha. We actually picked that line up from Cheesy. Cheers!!
TB: Yes he does, and thanks. You're naked, or the man is? Cheers TB!!
bwahahahahahahahah that was perfect...
To answer Ryno's question, I am actually sitting at my computer naked, so yeah...I have seen a grown man naked...
and it his words.. "It is 'aight"
I know he learned jazz hands from you and not the commercial...
You guys are so cool!
JAZZ HANDS!
I love him!
He is definitely rocking the Peter Brady voice change. When it squeaked a couple of times I just wanted to give him a big ole hug. He's adorable Matt-man!
Bond: Maybe he did learn it from me. After all, I do dance in public when he is around just for the fun of embarassing him. Cheers!!
Leighann: You should ride along during our annual one hour drive to the fireworks store prior to the 4th of July. It's always amusing!! Cheers!!
Lady Jaye: Why thanks!! His voice is pretty cute right now. Cheers to ya, LJ!!
That one gladiator in that one arena... what was that movie? Oh, yeah. Gladiator. *snort* He's learning his chops, ain't he? Very cute cracking voice too. Congrats on producing such a great mini-Matt!
Winter: Ha. Why thank ya Winter. He cracks me up everyday. Cheers!!
Ha, what a cute kid. Peter Brady, Jazz hands, and grown men naked? I'm starting to wonder if this was really a ventriloquist act.
KNight: Ha. Thanks. And the funny thing is, is that Ryno and I have toyed with the idea of making him up like a ventriloguist dummy and doing a few bits like that. Cheers!!
I love that kid! He's so funny, clearly really, really smart.
And he has the most genuinely beautiful smile.
I have nieces matt-man. Shall we discuss merging the two families. We could rule the world.
Dianne: Why thank you very much. He does have a great smile and it has the uncanny ability to light up faces of a room full of family or even complete strangers.
I like your plan...Let's just make sure that the kiddies, know that you and I are the ones in charge. Cheers Di!!
Oh he is so cute! So animated and funny. You are one lucky man Matt-man.
Karen: Thanks, and "animated" may be the best word to describe him. Very Good.
We didn't agree on enough things to stay together, but his mom and agree on how lucky we are as far as Ryno. Cheers Karen!!
Your youngin was quite entertaining Matt-man. Thanks for sharing. Oh, and happy Hump Day.
He is so incredibly funny! Ask him to give you a few lessons!
*waving my 'spirit fingers' at Ryno!*
Snig: Thanks and I think he may make an appearance on here once or twice a month. Happy Hump Day and Cheers to you Snig!!
Metal: Now, that was just plain hurtful. Cheers Baby!!
Ryno's awesome - you 2 need to take it on the road!
You mean he hasn't hit the silent brooding, 'whatever' phase yet? Hope he misses that stop on life...
Tug: We are going to be working on that this summer. Matt-Man and Ryno, a double comedic threat. Cheers!!
VE: Well...don't get me wrong, he has certainly had, and surely will have his moments in the future, but for the most part he is alwyas pretty damn cheerful, even when a baby. I am a lucky guy. Cheers!!
Well he is a sip outta the old Bagwine bottle, isn't he? Kidlet is my mini-me so I can relate =)
Starr: From what you write about her, she obvioulsy is. And yes, Ryno is the product of a night of Bagwine.
Who says, that Wild Irish Roe doesn't have its benefits? Cheers!!
What a great kid! Ryno Rocks! I really enjoyed this video, he is a natural and what a smile. :-) It made me smile back at him while listening to his jokes and the squeeks in his voice. I remember when my son went through that stage...it was quite amusing also.
Don't drink soup in the rain, you'll never finish it.
Ha!...that was classic! I love him already! Yes, give us more of his humor on a regular basis. He is so refreshing. Thanks buddy for sharing with us!
Hugs,
Kimmie
his changing voice cracks you up?
rolling my eyes
(going back to watch the clip)
Now that my son is 10 and 5'4 there is nothing safe in the cabinets or fridge anymore. I never knew a person could eat so much and so often. My food bill has increased (tons), and from what I hear, will continue to do so as long as my son keeps growing. BTW, you have the most exquisite taste in ice cream flavors, his Mom must adore you. ;)
I am fairly certain the Dad-Man understands your free spirit, grasshopper...behold! Your future!
(bring him to California...he needs the tan)
Kimmie: He is a great kid and thanks. And yes, he will be back on the site at some point. Cheers!!
Kat: Yes it does. I think it's cute. It's amusing to witness him getting older. Cheers Kat!!
Claudia: Ha. His mom USED to adore me. And I feel your pain. Ryno is 5'6 and can pack away the food. And yet, the beauty of age allows him to stay quite thin.
Thanks for the comment, and Cheers!!
Kat: He just got out of school. He'll get a tan as soon as we end our incessant streak of violent weather.
And you're right...I understand, and I love it. Cheers!!
(I was commenting on the pun....voice cracking....I know you love him to pieces....)
Kat: Ha. I didn't think anyone would pick up on that. Leave it to you. Cheers Kat!!
Dad do you not listen to the boy??? How many times do you need to determine if he or you have seen a grown man naked? And the answer?
I love his little bit of southern twang, and yep you can hear puberty playing with his voice.
Sassy: Yeah, we both have a bit of a twang. But please, don't mention puberty; it only leads to trouble. Cheers Sassy!!
Y'all need to take the show on the road. ... Oh wait, you were in a car, so I guess you already did.
cheers,
mo
Mo: Ha. Good One. I hope all is well with ya. Cheers Mo-Man!!
Well I wonder who he takes after!
Of late I've been expecting to come here and see a pocture of you with Knickers on your head. I have no idea why.
Well, *someone* is an "Airplane" fan! (Stealing Captain Oveur's material - shameless!) It's telling that I would not have been surprised to see an inflatable "Otto" pilot pop up in the back seat.
Great video! Ryno is a terrific kid - and he DID ask if we'd ever seen a grown man naked - "But IS there such a thing?!" she ponders, wondering if men ever truly grow up...
Cathy: Ha. Tell me if you'd like to see panty hose, boxers, or briefs on my head. Just because I like you, I will take a picture of me for you wearing any of those on my head. Cheers!!
Desert Rat: Yes, he loves that movie.
And your "grown up" comment is funny because when he got out of the car, he said, "Dad, you and I have to be the two stupidest people alive." Ha. Cheers!!
I've always believed that wit was a sign of intelligence - so you two must be friggin' brilliant!
*Cheers!*
Desert Rat: I appreciate that quite a bit. I know that myself and others who blog and try to be funny, are labeled as clowns.
It takes some smarts to be funny. Okay, I am off of my soapbox. But thanks for your observation. Cheers!!
Chip off the old blockhead ... absolutely hilarious! You should be proud of at least your half of the creative process.
Jamie: Ha..Blockhead. Why I oughta. Ryno, is though, one thing that we did well together. Cheers Jamie!!
Fine video. Superb son!
So, like, maybe you ate at Denny’s?
Actually, reading this one, Matt-Man, has me very tempted to eat out tonight, even though the NutriSystem food is quite tasty and much less calorie-filled than anything I’d eat at a fine dining establishment.
Nick: We ate at a somewhat local chain called Perkin's. Go ahead Nick, eat out tonight. Cheers!!
"Dad, you and I have to be the two stupidest people alive."
I'm LMAO picturing him getting out of the car and saying that. You lucky man!
You two should get together in front of that camera more often.
Micky: That my friend, was the funniest thing he said. But he said it with love and a chuckle.
We plan on doing much more, even to going all out and doing our own local cable access show. Cheers Mick!!
I am sooo gonna use the soup joke. That was great.
Dammit! I still haven't hooked up my speakers! How is it that I've managed to go nearly all week without needing them except when visiting your blog? What have I been doing online??? lol
Marilyn: Neither I nor Ryno can take credit for that; we stole that from Cheesy!! Cheers!!
Covert: Damn it girl, where are your priorities? Cheers!!
"Dad, you and I have to be the two stupidest people alive."
Now why would that bring tears to my eyes?
What an amazing compliment to you. Anytime, at that age, your child is willing to be incahoots with you, and not ignoring you... well, that's priceless.
Yeah, I'm back reading comments.
Jennifer
Jen: That did indeed bring a big smile to my face. Cheers Jen!!
