Make a Statement..

I may have to investigate this, as the designer may have used my likeness without express written consent.

Footwear is important.

How did this happen?

Sometime today or tomorrow, this site will reach 20,000 hits. This is based on the "hit counter" just to the right.

Of course the little "Feedjit" widget shows an average of @ 5-10 a day, which would allow us to reach 20,000 in about February, 2046. These visitors seem to stay between 6 and 19 seconds.

Whatever. I guess if you post wildly random stuff, you'll come up on a lot of searches.

Anyway, thanks to all of you who made this milestone possible.

I'm thinking about growing a ponytail...

because my wardrobe, physique and weak-ass facial hair makes me almost this guy:

Lowering the bar...

Due to a profound lack of inspiration, imagination, and originality, I'm reduced to posting funny newspaper clippings.

I'm now the Jay Leno of bloggery.

I think chick was askin' for it...

Panama City Beach Road Trip-The Postmortem

Upon final reflection and evaluation, I'd have to say the trip was an unqualified success.

I got to show off my dancing skills
and David is still as youthful as ever. I think the coastal lifestyle suits him well.

Why I don't have a monkey

Thanks, I'll just keep the job I have now.

I'm not sure what this guy is doing or why it's so important. I assume he's painting.

Suddenly my job doesn't seem so bad.

Weak stream?

I'm not a basketball fan, but Steve Nash is pretty funny.

The suicidal goat photo

I particularly like this photo for some reason.

It was taken by my old friend Paul, the crackpot inventor/semi-exotic livestock breeder.

Jackalope Rider

The legend of the jackalope has bred the rise of many outlandish (and largely tongue-in-cheek) claims as to the creature's habits. For example, it is said to be a hybrid of the pygmy-deer and a species of "killer rabbit". Reportedly, jackalopes are extremely shy unless approached. Legend also has it that female jackalopes can be milked as they sleep belly up and that the milk can be used for a variety of medicinal purposes. It has also been said that the jackalope can convincingly imitate any sound, including the human voice. It uses this ability to elude pursuers, chiefly by using phrases such as "There he goes! That way!" It is said that a jackalope may be caught by putting a flask of whiskey out at night. The jackalope will drink its fill of whiskey and its intoxication will make it easier to hunt. In some parts of the United States it is said that jackalope meat has a taste similar to lobster. However, legend has it that they are dangerous if approached. It has also been said that jackalopes will only breed during electrical storms including hail, explaining its rarity.

Jackalopes are legendary in the U.S. -- attributed to by the New York Times in 1932 to Douglas Herrick (1920–2003) of Douglas, Wyoming, and thus the town was named the "Home of the Jackalope" by the state of Wyoming in 1985. The state of Wyoming trademarked the name in 1965. According to the Douglas Chamber of Commerce, a 1930s hunting trip for jackrabbits led to the idea of a Jackalope. Herrick and his brother had studied taxidermy by mail order as teenagers. When the brothers returned from a hunting trip, Herrick tossed a jackrabbit carcass into the taxidermy shop, which rested beside a pair of deer antlers. The accidental combination of animal forms sparked Douglas Herrick's idea for a jackalope.[2] The first jackalope the brothers put together was sold for $10 to Roy Ball, who displayed it in Douglas' La Bonte Hotel. The mounted head was stolen in 1977.[3] The Douglas Chamber of Commerce has issued thousands of Jackalope Hunting Licenses to tourists. The tags are good for hunting only during official Jackalope season, which occurs for only one day: June 31 (a nonexistent date as June has 30 days), from midnight to 2 AM. The hunter may not have an IQ greater than 72.[4] In 2005, the House of the Wyoming state legislature passed a bill to declare the jackalope the "official mythological creature" of Wyoming, by a vote of 45-12 and referred it to the state Senate, where the bill was indefinitely postponed on 2 March 2005.

It's never too early..

This is an image of what I would look like should I decide to be a Marvel Superhero for Halloween this year.


I'm still sort of leaning towards dressing as a "Masked Mexican Wrestler"...

Learn Animal Husbandry in the privacy and comfort of your own home!

Not so bad. Baby used to bring home giant formaldehyde soaked dead cats when she was studying Anatomy in Nursing School.

(note to self: learn to spell "formaldehyde")

No, seriously-what the hell IS that?

A friend took this photo of another friend at a gathering a my house a week or two ago, and when the pictures were shared we saw this.
What the heck is the ghostly image in the window?

There's nothing in that room, we are all baffled. I guess the next step is to try to replicate the conditions and try to make it happen again.

Creepy...

Fortune Cookie Wisdom...

Profound, huh?

Socks and Sandals-It's a concept you must totally commit to...

I tend to get a lot of grief for the fact that I possess the kind of dynamic fashion charisma to sport socks with sandals on occaision.

Sure, I get questions.

No, I'm not German.
No, I'm not even European.
No, I'm not Gay.
No, I'm not mentally challenged.
No, I'm not going to some strange costume event later.

The photo above demonstrates that if you're rockin' socks 'n sandals, you must possess the moxie to commit fully. Otherwise, all bets are off.

It's really about comfort and confidence. Like I tell my kids, "If you see me doing it, that means it's cool."
