The Rob Report: Not fireworks, Marvin-works
http://robsreport.blogspot.com/2011/07/not-fireworks-marvin-works.html
Trust the Gene Genie. Monday, July 04, 2011. Not fireworks, Marvin-works. Well, as another Fourth of July wraps up, I thought I'd leave you all with a little lullaby to close out your day. From a few years ago:. It's Marvin Gaye performing one of the single greatest interpretations of the national anthem I've ever heard. And just today I've heard three terrible versions. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). I know. I didnt believ. Who remembers the old 80s show Voyagers? I'm your sea lion woman. I really ...

The Rob Report: Dude, she's going to poop her pants!
http://robsreport.blogspot.com/2011/01/dude-shes-going-to-poop-her-pants.html
Trust the Gene Genie. Sunday, January 02, 2011. Dude, she's going to poop her pants! Leigh remains our most interesting child. Which is a feat, considering how strange all three of our girls are. Not to go all Baby Boomer, but she's definitely the George to Claire's and Elsa's John and Paul. No one in the family is Ringo because no one should have to be Ringo. That same ambivalence makes Christmas shopping for her interesting. At one point this season she wrote a letter to Santa telling him anything ...

The Rob Report: All hail Saturday morning
http://robsreport.blogspot.com/2010/11/all-hail-saturday-morning.html
Trust the Gene Genie. Saturday, November 13, 2010. All hail Saturday morning. Somewhere between the time I was kid and when I grew up, Saturday mornings changed. I'm not sure when it happened, but, as you can guess, I started noticing when I had kids. The way it used to be:. The way it is now:. You're kids get up and you rush them off to Leigh's soccer game. It's just not the same. It will blacken your soul and destroy your mind. Are you kidding me? 10:27 AM, November 13, 2010. 11:54 AM, November 13, 2010.

The Rob Report: 10/01/2012 - 11/01/2012
http://robsreport.blogspot.com/2012_10_01_archive.html
Trust the Gene Genie. Saturday, October 13, 2012. After her three-martini lunch, Barbie found herself half-naked on the roof. At least, that's kinda what the girls claim happen. In reality, they're claiming ignorance - but that only goes so far. Because somehow a naked Barbie doll is still sitting on the roof and she didn't climb up there. Or maybe she did. Maybe that's the part from "Toy Story" they didn't show. She seems happy enough. It's been fun. And, believe it or not, it feels good to be writi...

The Rob Report: 04/01/2014 - 05/01/2014
http://robsreport.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html
Trust the Gene Genie. Tuesday, April 22, 2014. Of entertainments and infuriations. The girls and I were watching "Aladdin" yesterday and when the movie finished and I went to turn it off, Elsa - who, I will remind you, is now almost 8 - let loose with this unholy wail, screaming about how it was not. Time to turn off the television. Yes, that's Elsa, who wandered into the display window at The Gap earlier this year and struck a pose while Becky was with the cashier. What I love about this incident SO...

The Rob Report: The Joker
http://robsreport.blogspot.com/2007/06/joker.html
Trust the Gene Genie. Tuesday, June 05, 2007. Here's a question for you. What did teenagers in the early '60s want? Now this is the early '60s, so this was before the counter-culture movement - you know, hippies, psychedelia, free-basing, Woodstock. The Beatles were still singing about wanting to hold your hand and, as far as I can tell, Frank Sinatra was considered the coolest living thing on the planet. Or so I'm told. I wasn't there. Any guesses as to what was in the brown paper wrapping? You don't un...

The Rob Report: Where the hell are the singing cats?
http://robsreport.blogspot.com/2008/09/where-hell-are-singing-cats.html
Trust the Gene Genie. Saturday, September 27, 2008. Where the hell are the singing cats? Here's David paying tribute. To Paul Newman on the Late Show Tuesday night. And yes, Thank you, David, you get to see Paul shout about singing cats. It's been an interesting week. David Letterman has proved once again why my 20-year devotion. Executives at CBS News of course were furious at having been hacked into and then ridiculed by Letterman. But it's David Letterman. What are they going to do? I quoted that line...

The Rob Report: Polly Pockets and brain surgeons
http://robsreport.blogspot.com/2011/06/polly-pockets-and-brain-surgeons.html
Trust the Gene Genie. Tuesday, June 28, 2011. Polly Pockets and brain surgeons. Polly Pockets are insane toys. To put this in perspective, it would be like if H.L. and I, as kids, dressed each other up like G.I. Joes and then just stood in the room admiring our handiwork. No, instead, we would just go the playground and act out our favorite G.I. Joe episodes on the playground equipment. We didn't need to dress up, we had our MINDS. And they love it. It's hilarious. 8:30 PM, June 28, 2011. The originals w...

The Rob Report: I'm on like Dr. John
http://robsreport.blogspot.com/2011/07/im-on-like-dr-john.html
Trust the Gene Genie. Monday, July 25, 2011. I'm on like Dr. John. Hey, last video post and then I'll get back to real writing. I promise. But this is really too good not to share. And by "too good" I mean absolutely epic. Grover as Ad Rock, the Grouch as MCA and Cookie Monster as Mike D. I could watch this forever. Sesame Street breaks it down. Dude I figured youd still be writing about U2 and the Beasties :). Mine is mbenedict26@gmail.com. hit me up. 2:03 PM, September 28, 2011. I'm your sea lion woman.
