British withdrawal

 "They sound kind of lame." (Ryan's opinion of the Beatles, March 3, 2011)

I was just working on something and for some reason started singing Yellow Submarine, and he gave me this strange look. I explained to him what I was singing, then pulled up a video of the Beatles singing it on YouTube to provide him with a more authentic experience. That's when he said they sounded lame. When I didn't turn it off, his eye started twitching. 

So I played a bunch of other stuff for him: I Wanna Hold Your Hand, Here Comes The Sun, Ob-La-Di Ob-La-Da, Twist and Shout, Revolution, etc. He started rolling his eyes, and and one point pretended to fall over dead.

RIP Splatman

Our, poor snowman, who was standing on his hands, suffered a terrible death. Because his hands were only made from thin sticks, his hands broke, and his head landed facedown on the deck. As his head was made of snow, it was destroyed upon impact. We were proud of you, our faithful snowman. (brief shout out to the Calvin and Hobbes cartoon. This would go great in your snowmen of terror exhibit)
