Furball Film of the Year: BEST OF FURBALL FILMS 2010
So for some reason Vicki and I shot 15 or so of these “Furball Films” with our Flip Camera. Small on budget but big on love and imagination, they were pretty fun to do and I’d say in the end we had about 3 pretty good ones, 5 okay ones, and at least 7 absolutely awful train wreck mega disasters.
Anyway, we spent this past weekend picking out all the best “Furball Film” moments and setting them to the lovely song Strangers by The Kinks. It’s amazing how well some of our footage fits with the song.
Even if you don’t like our films you should still check this out if you are unfamiliar with The Kinks, it really is a beautiful song.
Cheers!
Tanner and Vicki

I DON’T WANNA GROW UP
My Mom and Toby say…
“Cause I wanna be a Toys R Us Kid”.
5 Tobys although Rigby is the only furball pictured that makes the height requirement for this ride.
Tanner has always been the holiday traditionalist in our family. He was 13 when his dad had “the talk” that Santa was perhaps not real. True story. My favorite Christmas story is The Polar Express. Each year someone got to ring the jingle bell and I’d lay down for a long winters night with William Hurt’s sexy narrator voice dancing in my head.
And I’d like to add…
My LEAST favorite Christmas Memory was when I would lay down for a long winters night with William Hurt’s sexy narrator voice dancing in my head.

THE SWING KIDS
My Mom and Toby say…
“It don’t mean a thing if it ain’t got that swing”
5 Tobys. Dear Santa, please bring the furballs new coats. I will vouch for them… they’ve been very, very good. All agree?
And I’d like to add…
We are usually pretty good except for when we kick kids off swing sets so that we can enjoy our Big Gulps filled with the new “Four Loko Slurpee”.

THE GARBAGE PAIL KIDS
My Mom and Toby say…
What kind of mom let their son spend his allowance on those disgusting cards? Yep, Large Marge!
Only 1 Toby because it appears as if you both have hit “ROCK” bottom.
And I’d like to add…
Funny and/or tragic story about Large Marge. When I was around 8 years old I was hanging out at my friend Jamar’s house and he put in “Pee Wee’s Big Adventure”. I remember loving the movie right up until the “Large Marge” scene. The claymation of her eyes popping out of her head totally freaked me out and haunted me for several months. I remember at one point running out of a public restroom screaming after having lifted the toilet seat and seeing her scary face. To this day I still believe that the head of Large Marge was waiting for me inside of that toilet.

A TREE GROWS IN BROOKLYN
My Mom and Toby say…
And it’s “Free Fallin”
5 Tobys but a funny thing happened on the way to the Macy’s Parade. Bumped into the furball hat vendor and his inventory has been exhausted - too bad for all the furball wannabes.
Happy Thanksgiving from Ocean City, Maryland… Almon Family Reunion XXII
And I’d like to add…
My apologies for not posting the past few days, I was literally in Ocean City, Maryland playing Home Run Derby with my cousins and Rigby the entire time. Happy belated Thanksgiving everyone!

MIDDLE OF THE ROAD
My Mom and Toby say…
So not sure if you’ve camped our for Black Friday specials, searching for the furball hat vendor that started it all, or if you’re going to sit there until April 29th for a not so “Middle of the Road” wedding between Price William and Kate MIDDLEton?
5 Tobys because I loved watching Princesses Di’s wedding and I’ll be watching this one, too. Now those British women should start touting some furball hats and get rid of those damn peacock feathers.
And I’d like to add…
We are actually attempting to organize a sit-in in protest of the countless old dudes in our neighborhood who for some reason like to jog in those tight spandex running pants without wearing any shorts on top.
