For some reason I have intended on being a bee person for Halloween but never go around to it... also I doubt it'll happen this year.
But maybe next.

Douchebag Solidarity

Before Cirque

Now I doubt the Ross Sisters had the same sort of success but damn that's an interesting act.
Also wager it was risque at the time.

Yakety Sax

While I will forever associate this song with Benny Hill this is a close second.
I hope to live everyday with the energy and vigor that this guy has.

Demon Girl

From the movie Lo.
Found it by chance on Netflix and really liked it.
Justin summons a demon in an attempt to get his girlfriend April (who was stolen by the demon Jeez) back.
Things don't really work out for him as Lo forces him to analyze the relationship.
Jeez shows up to brag about taking April.
Then there's the hallucinations Justin experience from being inside the circle too long.
Low budget but in a good way.

Celery

Wait what?
No really what?
C'mon an anthropomorphism celery is scrubbing your rectum with a tooth brush.
That is the face of a man that requested or paid for that.

From here but I saw it here

Inside a Redbox Machine

I no longer live near a 7-11.
But did watch a gal return a dozen dvds to one at the QFC on The Hill.
More complex and awesome than I would have expected.

Penguins are Awesome

I like penguins.
Didn't happen on purpose but I dated a girl and she decided penguins should be my favorite animal.
In a "Neverwhere" style twist people began to buy me things with penguins on them.
Now I have nothing against penguins and have always liked them but since then they have become my favorite.

Apparently there was an oil spill off the coast of Australia.
Some penguins got sweaters to protect them.
And now they look damn cute.

Superman?

Question still stands is it: "If I go crazy will you still call me Superman" or "If I go crazy will you still call me, 'superman' "

Postsecret

Post Secret had these.
Got me thinking about my brief time working at Disneyland. I work the Storybookland Canal boats which is very boring ride in the same vein of Jungle Cruise. Although at night it's a great ride to go on, relax and look at the lighted miniatures.
Maybe one night there was a solo riding on my boat.
Listening to the monologue.
Taking it in.

Accepting the fantasy that was being put forward. Buying into it and finding some way to cope with the world.

Maybe and maybe not.
But it makes me feel better thinking it might have helped someone.

And now a very special episode

Missed a couple good ones but got many good ones and I swear I've seen all of these.
I don't get out much.

Tech is a stressful time.

Stage Code List

TO ALL OPERATING TECHNICIANS

It has come to the attention of the management that abusive and locally colorful language has become all too commonplace during the run of some performances. Since it is our endeavor to maintain the formal and professional decorum of the theatre, we will have to curb the “f**ks” and “sh*ts” that permeate the backstage areas. We also recognize the need for the technicians to creatively express themselves, so we have devised the following code list where a 100-series number will quickly identify a particular feeling or situation.

Judy Funnie

Sometimes I dress a bit like her.
My sister used to hum Judy's theme at me.
I deserved it.

Mental Floss

I first ran into Mental Floss in the Lake City Library when I was between job, killing time, and trying not to give up on my move.
Sitting among homeless, students, and homeless students I read interesting articles, small factoids in margins, and was entertained while jobs passed me over.
It was good times.
Their blog is an addition to my daily reading.
This morning they presented 7 Unsung Events that Deserve Your Attention.
Great stuff.
The Red Bull Flutag, World Series of Mahjong, yoyo championship.
Number Six I will someday go to.

6. National Championship Chuck Wagon Cook-Off
Are you sick of going to cooking competitions that just end up being snooty and barely even involve rustic wagons? Then this is the event for you. Chuck wagon teams from around the country meet up in Lubbock, Texas, as part of the National Cowboy Symposium & Celebration to revive “the skills that were used to keep the cowboys fed and fit.” The four-man teams each use a wood fire to make a meal that consists of chicken-fried steak, pinto beans, potatoes, a cobbler, and either biscuits or rolls. Better yet, this isn’t just some ivory tower competition where only the judges get to taste the food; the same chow is served to attendees as dinner. The rules seek to make each chuck wagon’s equipment as authentic as possible, including regulations on the metals used in cookware and the suggestion that each wagon carry a two-man crosscut saw. This event looks both interesting and delicious, so it’s worth checking out if you’re in the Lubbock area this weekend.

Dinosaurs

I once hung a pirate off someone's beer mug.
They weren't impressed.

Back in my days in Las Cruces New Mexico I worked at a small theatre with a girl named Bob.
There was a stegosaurus in the booth and it became our mascot.
Steggy would hang out on the board during the shows and even years later was still there.

Shampoo is Better I go on first and clean the hair!

My friend Bekki mocked me for washing my hair with Suave.
Mind she was going to school to be a hair dresser so it only makes sense.
Still the one time I used her fancy schmancy shampoo it did make my hair much softer.
But not $35 softer.

Soviet Car Ads

Go ahead make a "In Soviet Russia Joke".
I would if I was any good at jokes.

Compare these ads to American Car ads from the same era and it's apparent that Soviet Ad companies didn't bring sexy to the People's Revolution.

Dream of the 90s

I've annoyed a few people from Portland with this.
In fact I miss the 90s and wish they'd return.
It also annoys me the admiration some Seattle folks place on Portland. Yes it's a cool place but so is Seattle... just in a little brother chasing after an older brother sort of way.

Model Trainin' it

I'm a bit of a Back to the Future fan.
This might get me into model training.

Damn

I saw this on Facebook.
I'm fairly certain it's from Occupy Wall Street and it's true.

My dreams of the stars

Since I was a kid I wanted to become an astronaut.
Bad vision, poor grades, lack of motivation, not wanting to join the military and realization that you need to be well beyond the top 1% to has kept it a dream.
But NASA is looking for new astronauts but I'm still not qualified.
Stupid space opera not meaning an opera performed in space.

Lennox

This sweet dog committed no crime and never harmed a single living soul. The only reason for his seizure by the dog wardens in Belfast was that he looked similar to a Pit Bull, a breed banned under the Dangerous Dog Act (DDA). He was seized after being measured by a seamstress' tape measure on May 19, 2010, where he has remained in the "secret kennels" used to hide these dogs until families can battle through the court system to try to get them back. He has had no contact with his family throughout this entire time.

I found this and thought of the two pit bulls I've know, Thelma and Zoe. Neither one was aggressive toward humans, Thelma had problems with other dogs but Zoe didn't seem to. So I realize that the breed has an unfair reputation. Still they were fighting dogs, are stocky, vicious looking and occasionally have problems with other dogs but Lennox isn't even a pit bull, he's an American Bull dog Labrador mix (source), and also a therapy dog so this just seems wrong. I really feel for him and I hope he ends up with his family.
