two of my favourite things

And now, I present to you, a cat eating a hot dog.

pizza, cookies and poop talk

There's nothing better than spending a day with friends, enjoying a new boat, spending time on the water with the wind blowing through your hair. Sure, the boat was still attached to the dock and sure, we were wearing our winter coats, but that's besides the point. A good time was had by all and pizza and delicious cookies were enjoyed. I thoroughly enjoy days like those, sitting around and shooting the breeze with good friends, it's my favourite thing to do.
Yesterdays topic of conversation turned to talk of poop. I also thoroughly enjoy a good natured poop talk. We talked about the upper decker, fear of pooping in public, the courtesy flush, and a phantom pooper at my work.
I also had a brilliant idea. If I were a sick and demented person, I would poop in a sock and then put the sock on the end of the hand dryer. Then turn it on. Delightfully devilish!

congrats

I'd like to give a congratulatory shout out to Mike who landed himself a full time job on Thursday! Way to go Mike!
Does this mean I get to give my two weeks notice?

shrek will not be your next american idol

This week on American Idol, Melinda Doolittle got the boot. I was quite surprised as she was a fantastic singer but also quite relieved as for weeks and weeks now I have been distracted by her uncanny resemblance to everybody's favourite ogre.

happy birthday to my first true love

Jordan Knight. He's celebrating his 37th Birthday today, so I would like to wish my first unrequited love a wonderful day. Step by step, you got it (the right stuff) and I'll be loving you (forever). I've been hangin tough all these years, hoping that one day I could be your cover girl, your valentine girl, your favourite girl and you would say please don't go girl, but that day hasn't come yet. Didn't I blow your mind that time when I stalked you, drugged you, stole your sperm and told you this one's for the children? Tonight, let's try it again, no more games. Your mouth says stop it girl but your body says I wanna be loved by you.

GAME FOUR TO THE BAD GUYS. BOOOOO. HISSSSSS.

BEIJING (Reuters) - The world's only koala twins, born seven months ago and raised in a south China zoo, have passed a critical development stage and now have a good chance of surviving, a zoo official said on Monday.

The koalas, born in October at Xiangjiang wildlife park in Guangzhou, capital of southern Guangdong province, are one of only two pairs of captive-born twins ever recorded, local media and zoo officials have said. The other pair was born at an Australian university laboratory in 1960.

"They are about 300 grams each, just like the size of a small human fist," a Xiangjiang zoo official told Reuters."(They are) a little bit smaller in size than average koalas their age, but they are growing well and are healthy," he told Reuters in a telephone interview.

Animal experts have said that chances of both twins surviving are small, but the now 7-month-old babies had successfully passed their most dangerous period.

bat boy

Bat Boy is a fictional creature who appears regularly in the supermarket tabloid Weekly World News. Half human, half bat, he is frequently captured then later makes a daring escape. His pursuers are scientists and United States government officials.

Bat Boy has a chaotic sense of morality. He has been known to steal cars as well as come to the aid of the needy. According to the mythos, the only person who cares about the chiropteran child is Dr. Ron Dillon, who discovered him in a West Virginia cave. At the time of capture, he was two feet tall and weighed nineteen pounds. By February 2001, he was 2' 6". In 2004, he was five feet tall and his weight was unknown.

He sheds his wings every three years, and regenerates a new pair.

During the 1990's Bat Boy is rumored to have tried to escape society's gaze by enrolling in a small liberal arts college in upstate New York under the assumed name of Guy Fledermaus (German for bat). He purportedly graduated with an art degree from the college's "Music Program Zero"

On 27 February 2001, he allegedly attacked a fifth-grader in an Orlando, Florida park. The girl was nearly ripped to shreds. The next day, he endorsed presidential candidate Al Gore.

On 14 August 2003, he announced he was running in the California gubernatorial election.

In October 2005, it was revealed that a boy was saving his money for plastic surgery such that he would then resemble Bat Boy.

In October 2006, Bat Boy was captured on film riding on top of a New York City subway car. Bat Boy was said to be living in the Subways tunnels during this time. This story was converted into a "documentary" video on the Weekly World News web site.

all aboard... *toot * *toot*

spare any change? canada unveils C$1 million coin

A 100kg gold coin is seen next to gold bars and smaller gold coins in an undated publicity photo from the Royal Canadian Mint. The Royal Canadian Mint unveiled a welcome addition to any piggy bank on Thursday -- a monster gold coin (the size of an extra large pizza) with a face value of C$1 million (455,000 pounds) that it says is the world's biggest, purest and highest denomination coin.
Weighing in at 100 kilograms (220.5 pounds), the limited edition coin easily dwarfs its closest rival, the 31 kg (68 pound) "Big Phil", which was made to honour the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra.
While it has a C$1 million face value, the coin is worth more than twice that amount given the current gold price of $683.30 an ounce.

I'm thinking about getting two and using them as book ends.

stay-at-home mother's work worth $138,095 a year

NEW YORK (Reuters) - If the typical stay-at-home mother in the United States were paid for her work as a housekeeper, cook and psychologist among other roles, she would earn $138,095 a year, according to research released on Wednesday.

This reflected a 3 percent raise from last year's $134,121, according to Salary.com Inc, Waltham, Massachusetts-based compensation experts.

The 10 jobs listed as comprising a mother's work were housekeeper, cook, day care center teacher, laundry machine operator, van driver, facilities manager, janitor, computer operator, chief executive officer and psychologist, it said.

The typical mother puts in a 92-hour work week, it said, working 40 hours at base pay and 52 hours overtime.

federer, nadal to meet on half-clay, half-grass court

PALMA DE MALLORCA, Balearic Islands (AP) -- One is the king of grass, the other the king of clay. On Wednesday, Roger Federer or Rafael Nadal will be king of both. Four-time Wimbledon champion Federer plays two-time French Open winner Nadal in an exhibition on a customized half-clay, half-grass court on this Spanish island.
"It'll be fun to find out what it's like to play on a court with mixed surfaces," Federer said Tuesday. "And it ought to be interesting to see who chooses the better tactic."
Organizers needed 19 days and $1.63 million to create the court, which divides the surfaces by halves for a unique match in which a player can receive on clay and hit a winner on grass -- or vice versa.
"The result is not the most important thing. It's about having fun out there," the top-ranked Federer said. "It's going to be exciting and a good atmosphere. It doesn't always need to be crazy serious out on the match courts."

apparently, this is hilarious and somebody has some free time on their hands with nothing better to do.
Actually I'm flattered, and I must admit, I did chuckle.
Nice job, Brad.
