Apparently Jhonen Vasquez spotted some koalas on his flight over to Australia.
I have never thought the same of koalas since that animal planet show about them and how they eat their mother's poo when they're young.
Disgusting, fuzzy little s***-eaters. Koalas are evil. They stare at you with their dull eyes, but really they're waiting to steal your bank account information and take out loans for RVs in your name so they can destroy your credit and drive around the outback in their giant, shiny, poop-filled RVs and play didgeridoo CDs way too loud.
We have some friends that raise chickens. They have eight chickens. Apparently these chickens lay up to 20 eggs each day. Some of these eggs are freakishly large, too.
Check this out:
And my hand is not small. These eggs are tough, too. I mean really hard to crack. Apparently they feed them oyster shell, the chickens eat it up, and their eggs are solid.
Did anyone else think about today being 03-06-09? Well, I suppose not everyone. I tend towards the very non-American way of writing days as YYYY-MM-DD or DD MM YYYY, which is much less interesting, but I digress…most hideously.
Meh, it's not really a second double. More like double, then square. Still, it was interesting. Bah, it sounded better in my head.
Poking around stores looking for an appropriate Christmas tree topper (we still have not found an acceptable top decoration for our tree), we stumbled across the Pirate Monkey Nutcracker:
Also, here's a picture of our back deck, and the icicles hanging down from the roof:
By His Noodly Appendage?
My cow-orker Jeff ordered a jar of Vegemite from an import store about six weeks ago in anticipation of our white elephant gift exchange. I pity the person that picks his gifts.
Last year he made a giant hammer out of concrete and rebar. It probably weighted 30 pounds bare minimum. It actually got stolen, which shocked me. He swears the Vegemite will be stolen too. I think he may be right, it's a pretty rare thing to see in Idaho. Still, I won't be wanting it myself…
Did I mention Jeff's really lucky? The Vegemite was on backorder. It just arrived this morning. Tomorrow is the gift exchange.
As the title says, I'm guessing this happened in England, where 0.79% of the population in 2001 claimed the Jedi Order as their religion.
PS I'm kidding. I know it didn't happen in England. It was funnier to say because of the whole Jedi religion thing.
I got a phone call today from a guy in Moscow (Idaho) asking me why I was calling him at 4:30am. I had no idea what he was talking about, and got a little suspicious when he asked me what my last name was. None of my phone records show any calls, and the people I talked to at the AT&T store couldn't tell me any more information.
Last year for our Christmas white elephant gift exchange at the office, my contribution was the Avenging Unicorn playset; it was quite a hit, actually.
Now, almost eight months later, I had quite forgotten who went home with the unicorn. After a short jaunt around the office fixing computer problems, I returned to my office to find this:
The Avenging Unicorn
It found its way home, how endearing…
Today, dear readers, I present you with a painting of Bea Arthur wrestling a velociraptor.
You can even buy a print if you want.
I believe at this point there is nothing more I can see on the Internet.
The building I work in has a cleaning crew, and the lady that is usually around must have OCD, she does all kinds of weird things. One of my cow-orkers had loose change she would always roll up for him. One Saturday I had to come in and work and she told me not to walk on the carpets in the hallway, they just vacuumed-striped them, like people do with lawns when they mow them. You know, so the grain goes one way and then another and it has a nice stripe pattern. Another of my cow-orkers saw her in the parking lot on her hands and knees removing dirt from a crack in the asphalt.
Anyway, during a meeting, we saw her out in the parking lot, in the rain, picking up pine cones. One of my cow-orkers asked what she was doing with them, and I postulated she's probably alphabetizing them. My cow-orker said I was a meanie for that wise crack.
If so, this is for you.
Apparently there is a creepy gnome terrorizing a town in South America. Watch the video. You know you want to.
I just don't know what else I can say. See it for yourself.
