Everything has a Silver Lining ...

This SO seems like something my crew would have done back in high school or college ... I recall one incident of filling a car with styrofoam peanuts (to the brim.)

Yahoo News -- Man's Apartment Encased in Aluminum Foil


What kind of friends coat your apartment — and nearly everything in it — with tinfoil while you're away? Here's a hint: One of the only objects that escaped the shiny treatment was a book titled "Penn & Teller's Cruel Tricks for Dear Friends."

The walls, ceiling, cabinets and everything in between shimmered, after the prank orchestrated by Kirk's longtime friend, Luke Trerice, 26, who was staying in the apartment while Kirk was away.

No detail was too small or too time-consuming. The toilet paper was unrolled, wrapped in foil, then rolled back up again. The friends covered Kirk's book and compact disc collections but made sure each CD case could open and shut normally. They even used foil on each coin in Kirk's spare change.

And to sweeten the theme, they left silver Hershey's kisses sprinkled throughout the apartment.

The odd couple

(Reuters) -- Muschi, a small cat that formed an unlikely friendship with a half-ton bear called "mouse" in Berlin Zoo, has been reunited with her companion after pining outside the bear's cage for months, the zoo said Friday.

Muschi, which means "pussy," has been popular with zoo visitors ever since she appeared in the bear's enclosure three years ago. But the pair were split up last October when the bear was locked in a cage while her living space was enlarged.

Zoo keepers took pity on the distraught cat that had taken to roaming around the zoo and sitting outside the cage, and this week allowed her in the cage with the shaggy female Asiatic black bear called "Maeuschen," which means little mouse.

"They greeted each other and had a cuddle and now they're happy," said Heiner Kloes, a member of the zoo's management board. "The cat has a real fan club, mostly among our older, regular visitors."

No one knows where Muschi, a normal black domestic cat, came from. "She appeared from nowhere in 2000 and we decided to leave them together because they got on so well," said Kloes. "They sunbathed together and shared meals of raw meat, dead mice, fruit and bread."

The enlarged enclosure will reopen in the spring.

Very Superstitious

GO MAVS!!!

Tonight an early Christmas miracle happened ... my beloved Dallas Mavericks ended the 13-year jinx against the Los Angeles Lakers opening a can of 110-93 whoopass. The last time the Mavs beat the Lakers on their home court was on this very date exactly 13 years ago.

Who the hell says 13 is unlucky ... here's your moment of zen.

Big props to the rookie Josh Howard who earned his first NBA double-double (not affiliated with the burger) with 17 points and 13 rebounds. Way to grow a mustache rook! (not literally ...) And congratulations are in order to Coach Don Nelson who earned his 1,110th career victory, tying him with recently retired Miami Heat coach Pat Riley for second on the all-time list.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas, everywhere you go ...

p.s. Good Luck to Jason White vying for the Heisman Saturday!

IOWA STATE STINKS!

Yet another example of "Hmmm ... you really can get a grant to study just about anything!"

Iowa State University has been awarded a $480,000 grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture to study odor from hog farms.

"We will have an 'odor footprint' tool that will predict where and for how long odors from a swine confinement facility will occur," Hoff said.

Does it really require a half-million dollar study to determine that a hog farm emits foul odors?

The Dirty Vicar

Frithjof Schwesig ... Dirty Vicar of Lampoldshausen ... had ordered 300 copies of a video film portraying the life of Christ as told by the gospel according to Luke.

Apparently, the gospel consisted of hard-core porn. I'm wondering how many new parishioners showed at the next sermon? :-)

My new 3-inch penis

Apparently I've been offered the enormous opportunity (pardon the pun) to increase my (nonexistent) penis by 3 inches by some anonymous reader of my blog calling themselves "Generic Viagra." Hooray!

Just when I finally got over the spam (not affiliated with the faux-meat) in my mailbox, now I have to deal with it here. It just moves from the snail mail to the telephone to the email to the blog. I guess you can run, but you can't hide.

Here's an article posted today about the new targets of spam

Man check?

You've used a coat check ... a valet ... possibly a "mother's day out" program ... now thanks to those innovative Germans you too can use MAN CHECK! For a very reasonable 10 Euros, you can drop off your man at which time you will be issued a receipt/ticket. The men are given a name badge on arrival and they get two beers, a hot meal, televised football and games.

Just think about being able to go on about your busy day unburdened by the moaning and groaning of a man!

When you are finished with your tasks of the day -- simply return, hand in your ticket, and your man will be promptly returned to you. It's as simple at dat!

Note: also known as "Man Kindergarten" ... clearly someone has put them back where they fit in mentally and emotionally ... and no I'm not hostile ;-)

Oooooh in surprise and alarm!

(CNN) -- A nine-year-old white tiger attacked Roy Horn of 'Siegfried & Roy' during a Friday night performance on the Las Vegas strip -- the tiger's first time on stage, and the trainer's 59th birthday.

Although I've always made fun of Siegfried & Roy (usually something to the effect of 2 gay men with their pussies) ... but upon hearing this news, I actually felt really bad. They are one of the classic strip shows and vital to the Mirage ... I really hope Roy survives this! It's never been quite so important to say "no kitty, that's a bad kitty!"

update! According to officials from the Mirage Casino and Hotel, the long running Siegfried and Roy show has been cancelled indefinitely.

Conspiratory fish?

One ... two ... three... JUMP!

Tropical fish are believed to have caused a fire at a Japanese house, fire brigade officials said, warning against the use of electrical plugs near fishtanks. "It is an extremely rare case, but fish are believed to be the culprits," said an official at the Nogata fire station in Tokyo. A fire started behind four fishtanks on August 23, destroying the walls and ceiling of the second floor of the house. "Saltwater fish such as anemone fish ... were in the tanks and seawater is highly electricity-conductive," the official said. "We assume the fish leapt and splashed water onto an extension socket, which was used for lighting for the tanks," the official said. The water is believed to have produced sparks that then ignited the fire.

He really is the Ladiesman!

They drag into his food. Sometimes, he even trips over them. Now they are in the new 2004 Guinness Book of World Records as the longest dog ears.

Mr. Jeffries, whose full name is Knightsfollie Ladiesman, has ears that measured 11.5 inches. He takes over reign of that title from his grandfather who you might remember as Biggles, the face of Hush Puppies shoes.

As Leon Phelps would say, "The solution to your problem is simple...do it doggie style." Yeeeess.

Good News (for a change)

According to Working Mother magazine ... there are companies out there even in this crappy economy (don't get me started ...) that are raising the bar on personal and family-friendly company benefits and programs.

All of the top 100 companies offer flexible working hours, compared with 55 percent of U.S. companies as a whole. The vast majority of the top 100 offer job-sharing programs and help with care for older relatives and children, while far fewer than half of U.S. companies do.

More than three-quarters of the top companies -- 77 percent -- offer therapeutic massages, as opposed to 11 percent of U.S. companies generally.

So if you are job hunting ... I suggest you take a peeky at these companies. It might make your servitude a little easier to stomach.

This is the coolest thing ever! When I was just a butterfly in my own mother's tummy, ultrasound did not even exist. Today ... (a lotta years later) you can see your baby smile, cry, blink, and suck their thumb as early as 26 weeks along. Usually technology just pisses me off and causes stress ... but just sometimes, it really leaves me stunned and speechless seeing how far things have come along. If you are expecting and have any chance to experience this technology ... it is just amazing!

Redefining convenience

Excuse me ... I think you ripped your pants!
The startlingly revealing "kaidangku" (literally "open-crotch pants") have made such posterior peek-a-boo a common sight in China for decades — rain, shine or, in a specially padded form, snow.

At first this really disturbed me ... imagining the shock on people's faces when the toddler nearby "squats and drops" ... but as usual, it lead to all sorts of unusual million-dollar ideas (which of course I can't tell you ... you'd steal them!)

Read on ... and decide for yourself?!?

But I'm not old ENOUGH for a middle-age crisis?!?

THE BELOIT COLLEGE MINDSET LIST FOR THE CLASS OF 2007® was released today ... and it was mind-blowing to me how out of touch I feel from these "kids" (since most students entering college this fall were born in 1985 -- when I was 13 years old!!)

The list is basically a cultural reference for 18 year-olds today. Some of the most unbelievable include:

*Bert and Ernie are old enough to be their parents.
*An automatic is a weapon, not a transmission.
*They never heard Howard Cosell call a game on ABC. (A travesty!)
*Computers have always fit in their backpacks.
*Datsuns have never been made.
*Michael Eisner has always been in charge of Disney.
*Yuppies are almost as old as hippies.
*They have never seen a First Lady in a fur coat.

But worse ... what they said on their own ...

*For many of them today, it’s all about the “bling, bling.”
(Worst Example: Sarah Hugill, 19, of Livingston, Wisconsin said her high school graduating class voted to add "bling bling" tassles of fake crystals to their graduation caps — for an added fee of $7)

*Peeps are not a candy, they are your friends. (Friends will never replace the sugary, marshmallowy goodness of a PEEP!)

*They have been “dissing”and “burning” things all their lives.

*They can expect to get a ticket for “ricing out their wheels.” (WTF?)

*They knew how to pop a Popple and trade a Pog.


Why is it that I'm always made to feel "old" right around my birthday time? Hmmmph.
Lists from previous years available here.

update ... update ... update

8. They can name at least half of the members of the elite "Brat Pack."
9. They know who Tina Yothers is.
10. They felt ashamed when Rob Lowe got in trouble for having sex with minors and videotaping it, because they liked him.
11. They know who Max Headroom is.
12. They could breakdance, or wished they could.
13. Partying "like it's 1999" seemed SOOO far away.
14. They thought that "transformers" were more than meets the eye.
15. They can, right now, hum the theme to Inspector Gadget.
16. They wanted to be on Star Search.
17. They can remember what Michael Jackson looked like before his nose fell off.
18. They wore banana clips at some point during their youth, or knew someone who did.
19. They owned a doll with "Xavier Roberts" signed on its rear, or knew someone who did.

Spam Spam Spam Spam Spam Spam sushi and Spam.

It's a lunch meat luau: Spam goes Hawaiian!

"Hawaiians, who eat more Spam per person than any other group in the United States, now have a Spam product of their very own. The can features hula dolls in grass skirts and a recipe for Spam musubi, which consists of a strip of fried Spam wrapped on the outside of a rice ball held in place by dried seaweed. "

Not quite what I was expecting

The first rule about flash mob is ... you don't talk about flash mob.

Now when I first heard about this (and of course I was only paying about 10% attention as is my norm) I heard the word "flash" and the word "mob" and jumped to the following potential conclusions:

1. Someone was randoming going around flashing mobs of people in public places.
2. A mob of people was flashing unsuspecting individuals whilst cavorting through large metro areas with the wind tickling their fancies.
3. Some quite attractive man flashed his nekkidness to the masses, and was mobbed after being called "the next John Holmes."

This ... I did not expect. It only proves that we have peaked as a society and can now look forward to the fall of our empire and certain extinction.

Can anyone possibly explain this to me ... anyone ... anyone ???

The Silly Olympiad

And you thought it was just a sketch ...

Hello, and welcome to the 27th Silly Olympiad, an event held traditionally every 3.7 years, which this year has brought together competitors from over 4 million different countries. And here we are at the start of the first event of the afternoon: the second semifinal of the 100 yards for people with no sense of direction.

Starter: Get set!
Starter's Pistol: [Bang]

Well, that was fun, wasn't it?

And now, over to the other end of the stadium. And here they're just waiting for the start of the 1500 meters for the deaf. And they're under starter's orders.

Starter's Pistol: [Bang]

Well, we'll be coming back the moment there's any action. And now over to the swimming. And you join us here at the Bundesabsurd pool just in time to see the start of the 200 meters freestyle for non-swimmers.

Starter's Whistle: [Whistle]
Swimmers: [Splash]

Well, we'll be bringing you back here the moment they start fishing the corpses out. And now over to the start of the marathon for incontinents.

We put in for this event 44 competitors from 29 different countries, all of them with the most superbly weak bladders. Not a tight sphincter in sight. Ready to embark, nevertheless, on the world's longest race and they're just aching to go!

Starter's Pistol: [Bang]

There's Polinski of Poland in the lead, and-and now Brewer of Australia is taking over! ---- And so now it is Alvarez of Cuba, followed by the plucky Norwegian Borg, they're in and out like yo-yos these boys. Well, well, these must be some of the weakest bladders ever to represent their country!

MR. T BEATS CANCER WITH CHICKEN AND PEANUT BUTTER DIET


"The A-Team" star Mr. T is bouncing back to great health after being diagnosed with rare T-cell lymphoma thanks to a greasy chicken breakfast and peanut butter. The 51-year-old star insists his odd diet is helping him build up his strength as he continues to beat cancer.

He says, "I eat a whole rotisserie chicken for breakfast every day. It's nice and moist from the health food store.

"Later, I have a peanut butter sandwich with a banana and some apple sauce. All that helps to get me through the day."

Mr T, who is no longer undergoing chemotherapy, says his diet has got him feeling so good that he'd like to jump back in the ring with Sylvester Stallone if the movie star ever gets another planned "Rocky" movie off the ground.

Only for the hardcore ...

A little something interesting I read in the most recent Entertainment Weekly ...

THE WACHOWSKI BROTHERS' COMICS

"For as often as it's reported that Matrix writer-directors Larry and Andy Wachowski are former comics writers, mention of their specific credits is harder to find that the Zion mainframe. But the books are indeed out there, if you scour enough back-issue bins -- it's just that you might find them filed under "barker, Clive." Back in the early 90's, the British horror-meister partnered with Marvel on several projects, with the Wachowskis contributing stories to Clive Barker's Book of the Damned, a Hellraiser anthology, a Nightbreed spin-off, and even, yes, Hellraiser Spring slaughter. (Only Larry is credited, but as he told EW shortly after the first Matrix installment, "We wrote everything together, but because of certain weird legal deals, [Marvel] didn't know.") The brothers' most recognizable work, though, was in the collaboration with their future Matrix storyboard artist Steve Skroce on Ectokid, part of the short-lived "Barkerverse" superhero line. The title character is a streetwise youth who has the uncanny ability to jump back and forth between the real world and the ghostly "Ectosphere" that overlays it -- and kick butt in both. Talk about deja vu, Neo. -- TR"

Never Complain, Never Explain

Katharine Houghton Hepburn, Hollywood legend and feminist icon,
died Sunday at 2:50 p.m. at her home in Old Saybrook, Connecticut. She was 96.

During her 60-year film career, she won a record four Academy Awards and received twelve nominations.

Katharine Hepburn  1907-2003

Katharine Hepburn was a woman I have long admired for her vivaciousness, outspoken nature, incredible intelligence and endless class. May we all learn from her example of a life very well lived.

"Death will be a great relief. No more interviews."
--Katharine Hepburn

Photos of ...
Katharine
Katharine and Spencer Tracy


An array of Katharine Hepburn quotes on a variety of topics ... with my favorites listed first:

"I never realized until lately that women were supposed to be the inferior sex."

"Our Constitution was not intended to be used by ... any group to foist its personal religious beliefs on the rest of us."

"Sometimes I wonder if men and women really suit each other. Perhaps they should live next door and just visit now and then."

"Never complain. Never explain."

"Life is to be lived. If you have to support yourself, you had bloody well better find some way that is going to be interesting. And you don't do that by sitting around wondering about yourself."

"It's a rather rude gesture, but at least it's clear what you mean."

"Love has nothing to do with what you are expecting to get - only what you are expecting to give - which is everything. What you will receive in return varies. But it really has no connection with what you give. You give because you love and cannot help giving."

"If you always do what interests you, at least one person is pleased."

"Plain women know more about men than beautiful women do."

"I think most of the people involved in any art always secretly wonder whether they are really there because they're good - or because they're lucky."

"Acting is the most minor of gifts. After all, Shirley Temple could do it when she was four."

"Someone asked someone who was about my age: "How are you?" The answer was, "Fine. If you don't ask for details."

"I don't care what is written about me so long as it isn't true."

"Life is hard. After all, it kills you."

"Marriage is a series of desperate arguments people feel passionately about."

"Only the really plain people know about love - the very fascinating ones try so hard to create an impression that they soon exhaust their talents."

"If you obey all the rules you miss all the fun."

"It's life isn't it? You plow ahead and make a hit. And you plow on and someone passes you. Then someone passes them. Time levels."

"When I started out, I didn't have any desire to be an actress or to learn how to act. I just wanted to be famous."

"We are taught you must blame your father, your sisters, your brothers, the school, the teachers - but never blame yourself. It's never your fault. But it's always your fault, because if you wanted to change you're the one who has got to change."

"Without discipline, there's no life at all."

"If you give an audience a chance they will do half your acting for you."

"To keep your character intact you cannot stoop to filthy acts. It makes it easier to stoop the next time."

"It would be a terrific innovation if you could get your mind to stretch a little further than the next wisecrack."

"What in the world would we do without our libraries?"

"I wear my sort of clothes to save me the trouble of deciding which clothes to wear."

"I'm an atheist, and that's it. I believe there's nothing we can know except that we should be kind to each other and do what we can for other people."

"If you want to sacrifice the admiration of many men for the criticism of one, go ahead, get married."

"Life can be wildly tragic at times, and I've had my share. But whatever happens to you, you have to keep a slightly comic attitude. In the final analysis, you have got not to forget to laugh."

"Being a housewife and a mother is the biggest job in the world, but if it doesn't interest you, don't do it . I would have made a terrible mother."

"I have many regrets, and I'm sure everyone does. The stupid things you do, you regret...if you have any sense....And if you don't regret them, maybe you're stupid."

"Death will be a great relief. No more interviews."

REPUBLICANS PISS ME OFF!

We're doing just fine ... the fed cuts interest again, millions of people are unemployed or underemployed, the foreclosure rate where I live is out of control (over 100 % on new homes in one county) but we're doing just fine. How is your state doing?

Oh well ... perhaps THIS will help. Indentured Servants please stand up.

P.S. More things to drive you to the top of a clocktower 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 Vive la revolution.

Welcome back ...

Where your dreams were your ticket out.
Welcome back, To that same old place that you laughed about.

Well the names have all changed since you hung around,
But those dreams have remained and they've turned around.

Who'd have thought they'd lead ya (Who'd have thought they'd lead ya)
Back here where we need ya (Back here where we need ya)

Yeah we tease 'em a lot cause we've got 'em on the spot
Welcome back
Welcome back, welcome back, welcome back


Kitty'z in da hizzzzouse! Give it up!
