Will My Wii Wreck My Wordly Woes?

I was traveling through lower Michigan and to my gleeful surprise I saw bridge graffiti that almost keeps up with the legacy of the works of art seen on various overpasses in north east Ohio. I grew up around great pieces such as 'kid needs ya big time bad dude', 'wushu Vickie', 'I love u der dragon', 'Jesus saves- if you recycle', 'mom 47'. All of these examples were changed over the years to the state that they were in before removal via repainting or rebuilding. These amalgamations created truly wonder land marks. What I saw just south of Flint was an example of modified bridge art. It must have started with "I 'heart' my girlfriend". By the time I saw the bridge the heart was blacked out and the I was modified to a K. P-O-R was then added which resulted in the masterpiece 'PORK my girlfriend'. Brilliant!

The snow tonight was magnificent. I don't have much experience dealing with snowmobiles, but I have dealt with boats, and that understanding of displacement is the only way that I can begin to describe the beauty that I saw while the snow FLEW away from the Polaris's skis. Like so much much cold, dry water, it flew away and away from the wind.

We Must Be Vigilant To Prevent The Horrors That Are Living Room Based Jellyfish Attacks

After a few weeks of good snow and rather cold temperatures the lake started to look drowsy. Preparing for a winters nap while letting off some steam. This particular morning was just over 10 degrees and the wild had been calm all night. The funny thing about these shots that were taken on the eighth display a scene a far-cry different than what was seen this morning. The wind was most definitely not calm, blowing around 25 mph, frothing up the lake enough to disrupt the ferry schedule. The last two days were quite warm melting much of the snow and leaving the slushy streets to freeze overnight. The wind did not help with the icy streets this morning, pushing man and snowmobile all over the roads that it had polished to a shiny gloss with blowing snow. More snow will on top of that 4 inch thick layer of street ice and everything with be right again.

Classroom Prank Goes Horribly Hillariously) Wrong

Falkland Islands- Bad Loans Have Made Them Mine!

The last time I was in the Dallas area I delivered myself into the company of someone that I cared for quite a bit for the last time. Her family received me with as much warmth as they ever had shown me. A young cousin asked me things of the future that I dodged. Grandfather and I discussed my ability to hold my own... pointless... That being said-

As we sat around the table before Thanksgiving dinner holding hands, we were asked to pass on to the others around us a few things that we were thankful for. After a few lives, loves, friends, and families, it worked out to be my turn. I thanked that table for cell phones, trying to explain that I was happy to get my holiday conversation with my mother taken care of all the way in Texas. As these words came from my mouth I became more and more mortified that I had thanked a higher being for cell phones in the presence of devout Catholics. I'll never forget that embarrassment. What came out of my mouth was not my intended thought...

The Forklift Seems To Have Some Sort OF Hydraulic Fluid Leak

I took some shots while dad and I went for a walk November 29th. It was a bit of a hazy day with pockets of sunlight that shone quite brightly onto the remaining amounts of green and the blue of the lake.

There have been great developments in the realm of link sharing!

Recently I have shared some rather bazaar recipe ideas. Instead of dealing with structured recipes, why not try using The Random Recipe Generator. Explore and have some fun! Great examples include frying some wine and then immediately throwing it away. Good stuff.

Talking Magpies Are Your Friends

After a fine weekend of cooking and just about nothing else apart from the odd walk into town or two, it is now time for a few links to share. This was a fairly lucrative weekend for accumulating links and the bookmarks have begun to fill up.

I want to pass along this recipe for alcoholic ginger beer. It seems to be quite easy and does not need much for ingredients.

I Want To Shoot Lasers From My Eyes Like A Peruvian

The first posting of "What Mr. Calvin Had For Dinner" on Make and Break!
Duck was served for Thanksgiving Dinner this year. I made a ginger-orange marinade and sauce. It turned out pretty nice. I rendered the carcass and got about a cup and a half of duck fat for use later and am now boiling that dude down for some duck reduction. Nice. I served the duck with cornbread stuffing and sauted asparagus. The old man seemed to enjoy it. No- he wasn't having THAT much fun. We followed dinner with The Onion Movie and Pepsi as a wonderful digestif. The plates in this house and that brown table really make all of my meals look the same in photos. Maybe I will spray paint my plates use an old shower curtain for a table cloth. Maybe that will keep all of my meats and starches from looking like brown blobs.

I knew that Big Giant Rat video reminded me of something. It reminded me of this video that I posted on the old blog last year or so.


Chicken head tracking abilities. Fascinating to watch the chicken heads. I remember Marcy on Married with Children asking her husband Steve why Al keeps, "calling me a chicken?!?" while she bobbed her head up and down, arms akimbo.


Good night. Happy Thanksgiving.

...If Only I Hadn't Stabbed That Old Woman Back In '83...

Earlier this evening, I was reminded of a rant of mine from last Friday. I had been watching a show on the Animal Channel called Whale Wars. I found this show to be quite hilarious. An Australian based organization, with the intent of preventing Japanese whaling ships from making their yearly research catches, sends a ship out into the open ocean with a licensed captain and an all volunteer crew. Here is where the fun starts. The volunteers are all ideologically rich and seamanship POOR! One of the best snafus that I saw was when they nearly killed themselves and almost sank their skiff when traveling at speed. Oops! The kicker of the whole thing is that they use this semi inflatable launch to harass and even BOARD the Japanese ships. Ha! They don't know what they are doing AND they are pirates! Great! It is quite fun to hear them speak about their love of whales. I will admit that the whaling fleet is squirrely and needs to be policed better, but these folks are just going to get themselves killed- although they will and have said that they would give their own lives to save the life of a whale...

Have some Barbapoppa.


I painted my kitchen this evening. I spent the day painting for pay, and then went home and painted my own kitchen. I guess one of the benefits of knowing how to paint well is that I was able to tear the room apart, cut in, roll, reassemble, and then cook dinner before 8 o'clock. Huh... The walls are now a light green. I still need to refinish the trim which is now coated in shellac and will be white oil. Man I like to work with oil paint. Really!

Earlier, I mentioned Australian odd balls. Well- it turns out that this week a man was arrested for pleasuring himself with a jar of pasta. He gave chase and while being pepper sprayed and beaten continued to go to town. Hey man! He wasn't finished yet. Thanks to Nothing To Do With Arbroath.

I Tried To Eat A Blackberry, But The Circuit Boards Cut My Gums

A while back, while contemplating the appropriateness of adding patches to double kneed pants, I thought about work shorts with doubled up knees. Just think about how many days of hard work you could put those bad boys through!

I was listening to the TV the other day while painting some of the Iroquois housing and heard a few slips of the tongue that made me smile. After reporting a story about Iran testing ground to ground missiles that were capable of reaching Israel, the anchor moved on to another story and accidentally swapped the correct word of January with the very poorly timed and incorrect 'jews'. Later I heard her say, 'Our next story is about a man who was given up for abortion- er adoption.' In the defense of the anchor, I will admit that it was Monday morning.

I would like to share with you this real interweb gem. Best thing I have seen all week.


The other day I read about a man who was suing Classmates.com for false advertising. He received an e-mail stating that classmates were looking for him. He subscribed to the service to find that, in fact, no-one was looking for him at all. A dip shit with a good point. I'll be damned. Next up- the guy who is suing for being a douche bag

I hope both of these guys are using this lawyer.

I Never Have Had Much a Need For Armadillo Spleen

I have had a few things on my mind for the last few days.

While sitting at Sinclair's the other day I noticed something odd on the Keno TV screen. The number generator was using the display of animated popcorn popping. This seemed to be rather bland, but suitable- or so I thought. On the bottom of the screen, where the kernels departed their number hording bed, I noticed the kernels were popping out of already popped kernels. This, I believe, is ridiculous. The popcorn should be leaping away from a super-heated hotbed of un-popped kernels. The newly elected Bart Stupak will be hearing about this I'll have you know.
I tried to send a text message the other day on a rotary phone the other day. I wanted to tell a friend that my phone was broken and the old rotary phone was all that was available. I stood there in that phone both for what seemed like hours since it seemed as though every letter that I needed to communicate my message with were third of fourth letter for their corresponding numbers. Damn you f, l, o, r, s, and z!
There is one hell of a lot of difference in the meaning of the words 'all you can eat', and 'eat all you can'.

This dog is wrong. As they say on the 4chan- "kill it with fire!".

I never have had thoughts about kissing my ceiling. It turns out that there is a photographer out there that not only enjoys this sort of thing, but is a bit voyeuristic about it. Here are people kissing the ceiling. Quite interesting.
