The Amazing SpiderVirg

Look! On the wall! It's a baby! It's a spider!
It's SpiderVirg!!!

SpiderVirg, SpiderVirg
Does whatever a SpiderVirg does
Can he swing from a thread?
No, he can't. Mom says it's dangerous.
Hey there! There goes the SpiderVirg

Is he strong? Listen bud
He's got radioactive blood
Actually, that's not good
We should probably see a doctor about that
LookOut! He's got radioactive blood

In the chill of night
We turn up the heat
And don't flush the toilet
You might wake him up

SpiderVirg, SpiderVirg
Friendly neighborhood SpiderVig
Is he part spider and part baby
No he's not, that's geneticlly impossible
What the duce! I'm singing 'bout SpiderVirg

Primitive living skills

Surviving in the harsh outdoors of the Pacific Northwest can test even the most experienced survivalist. But for Virg it was a walk in the park, or more like a nap in the back yard. Virg is so at one with his surroundings that he wasn't even stirred when a ferocious jungle cat invaded his tent. Her name was Olive.


Why does my tent smell like tuna all of the sudden?

Welcome to your worst nightmare

Joy! Virg went to the Point Defiance Zoo and Aquarium for the first time. Virg thought the fish in the big tank were super fun to watch. The whale and penguins were good for a laugh as well. But the part of the visit that the Daddy will never forget was the 'See what it would be like if your wife and child were being eaten by a hugenormous shark' exhibit. Once the zookeepers talk you down from your hysterical tantrum and the security guard escorts you back to your car, you'll have a fun image to haunt your dreams for years to come.


It's OK Daddy. The stationary painted plywood won't eat me.

Little boy heaven

While visiting his great grandma, Virg discovered a mythical place many boys hear stories about, but few have ever seen with their own eyes. It's more of a state of being than a physical location, but Virg found it and he was loving every second. The directions are a bit sketchy, but basically you'll need both the grandma and the great grandma within arms reach, a comfortable lap to sit on, and charming look on your face that says - 'Tell me again how much you love me.'

Warning: This only works if you are a small boy or girl. If you are a grown man the result is, how should I put this... less good.

Look! Virg is being spoiled in stereo.

Virg's first Easter

Over the river and through the woods to Great Grandmother's house we go. And even with all of our evasive maneuvering, the Easter Bunny was still able to track down the Virg and leave his little bunny droppings. Yup, Virg got his very first Easter basket. It had a little fuzzy tailed bunny, two little trucks, and Easter eggs filled with Virg's favorite treat... Cheerios!

Silly Rabbit. Plastic colored eggs filled with treats representing the resurrection of our Saviour Jesus Christ are for kids!

Team Pabst - A farewell to (Bud's) arms

Major Bud is needed in a far away land, and so Virg will be missing him until the Mommy and Daddy can muster up the funds to ship us all over to the land of schnitzel and lederhosen. Maybe next year Virg will be able to visit. We've heard there is a big 'To-Do' in October over there. The evening was very enjoyable, and Virg was flirting up a storm with the waitress.

Excuse me Miss, I'm not done charming your socks off.

MS Walk 2009

Today was the big day! Virg would like to send out a big THANK YOU to everyone who helped him raise $200 to help find a cure for Multiple Sclerosis. This morning Virg met up with some of the other wild and crazy members of the Roosevelt Icy Beverage Society (RIBS) and started the arduous 4 mile trek. The walk started at Husky Stadium and went to Gas Works Park and then back. Virg even got to see his Team Captain - Hooray Tina! Virg could have done the whole walk, but Daddy pooped out half way. Time to put Daddy on a training program for next year.

Check out the awesome results at http://main.nationalmssociety.org/goto/The_Virg

Get ready to feel the burn baby!
