I've been MIA here partially because having a second child quadruples the work, but also partially because I've found an online place to hang out and I'm having a REALLY good time!

My son started watching the Upside Down Show when it first began airing last fall on Noggin. I was fascinated by it, finding it funny and completely different from anything else on children's television.

Then I had the baby and kind of fell off the planet for a while.

When I resurfaced in January I decided that the fellows on the show were more than just hired hosts of a kid's program. I did a google search on their names - David Collins and Shane Dundas - and discovered their "real" job. The two make up a comedy group called the Umbilical Brothers and their act defies simple description. You really should see it to believe it, and in fact you can check out some of their work here: http://www.umbilicalbrothers.com/getstuff/index.html

Not only are the guys awesome at what they do, the people who visit the forum are top notch. It's been fun!
