Can your boobs save a life,or from breaking a limb?

I learnt last night that there actually is ONE good reason to have big boobs...when you take a dive over your bicycle handlebars, big boobs act as portable air bags. I know this is the only reason I did not have a scratch on my face, because my face could not get that close to the ground, even at high velocity with abrupt stoppage. Now mind you every other limb has several scrapes, and my left boob is almost a solid bruise colored dark purple & blue...I tried to get a pic of the boob, but then realized this might, just might be a little "TMI"...so I stuck with a safe pic of the leg.

I ask you again...if put in the same situation...Could Your Boob Do The Same?

"Does a bear sh*t in your yard?"

A: Yes! This weekend I learned - finally - not to roll the trash bin out the night before trash day. 'woke up Friday morning to heavy fog and trash shredded all over the lawn - 2nd time in 6 weeks. (George Bush: 'Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, I'm not putting the trash out until Friday morning.') On Sat, neighbor confirmed he had seen mama bear and 2 cubs picnicing at midnight

under the pine tree in our front yard. I actually had to shovel bear sh*t before mowing! (Hello - this is why I don't have a dog!) This followed the 6 a.m. Friday morning job of picking up trash and sweeping something that looked like flour* off the driveway and parts of the lawn. (*See previous blog entry below...perhaps)

Ribhard and Valencia's spouse deep fry chicken, onion rings, and wings

 This was some production last sunday.  Rob brought the cooker attachment from his grill and hooked it up to our propane tank. He also brought about 50 lbs of chicken and wings, seasoned, flourered  and all  ready to deep fry.  I bought a FryDaddy to do the onion rings. Plou made us cook outside after we did deep fried onion rings in the house the week before.  We had a great meal with all the sides. We kinda make this a sunday get together....lots of food...lots of beer!

Hamlet -- Act 5 Scene II

HAMLET:

Sir, his definement suffers no perdition in you;
though, I know, to divide him inventorially would
dizzy the arithmetic of memory, and yet but yaw
neither, in respect of his quick sail. But, in the
verity of extolment, I take him to be a soul of
great article; and his infusion of such dearth and
rareness, as, to make true diction of him, his
semblable is his mirror; and who else would trace
him, his umbrage, nothing more.

OSRIC
Nay, good my lord; for mine ease, in good faith.
Sir, I come here newly to this land; believe
me, for I an absolute gentleman, full of most excellent
differences, of very soft society and great showing:
indeed, to speak feelingly of myself, I am the card or
calendar of gentry, for you shall find me in the
continent of what part a gentleman would see.

Your Day In Court

For part of each of the last two days, I have been watching the performance of my favorite DA at work in a court of law. I learned that apparently anyone can bring a case to court. I also learned that security there is about as tight as at the airport. The only difference is that you can use a camera in the airport. Please double click to enlarge my courtroom sketches so that you may enjoy all the legal detail!

oats of Steel

s

So I kept hearing about Steel Cut Oats and finally bought some. I was a little taken back at the cost ($3.50 as my usual oatmeal is about $1.50)....I get the box home and open it up and see little rabbit pellets!...this disturbs me...but I figure WTF...start to fix a batch and read the instructions  which say to cook 20 - 25 minutes.....the old regular oatmeal takes about 5 mins.......and I honestly did not taste that much difference....just the texture ..... I am wondering what the big deal is about these steel cut oats? I'm just askin!

Keepin' It Clean with David Sedaris

So Saturday night we went with Valencia and Rob to see David Sedaris. What a funny little man he is! Read from his books mostly and didn't disappoint. He did, however, go on and on - perhaps just a little too long - about what a dirty and gross place China is to visit. Seems people there just spit, blow snot, and openly shit everywhere, making it tough to traverse the landscape. Even babies don't wear diapers; they just wear pants with a slit in the back, so that they are free to dump wherever. (Kind of puts an end to the cloth vs. disposable debate) He went on in great detail about this and commented that it is so extreme that he can't believe that anyone who has visited China neglects to lead with this detail when describing their visit.

I learned they make a refrigerator with a Sabbath Mode Switch

Did yall know they make a refrigerator with a switch  that cuts off on the sabbath? Well this was  news to me. We snagged an icebox at Lowe's  because our old one died. The new one  has this special switch. I wonder if they  have any thing for atheists? A Shabbat mode refrigerator includes, at a minimum, the ability to disable all lights or other electrical activity from occurring when the refrigerator door is opened. Some Shabbat mode refrigerators include a timer for the compressor so that opening the door, which will normally indirectly cause the compressor to turn on as the temperature rises, will have absolutely no effect on any electrical operation of the appliance.

Gamification: The next big thing?

March 27, 2011
Say you're zooming down the highway, when you spot one of those speed-limit enforcement cameras from the corner of your eye. You hit the brakes, but not before the camera's flash catches you breaking the law. A speeding ticket is surely on its way to your mailbox.

A car passes a warning sign for speed cameras. Now, imagine that same camera also snaps a photo of your car when you are driving at orunder the speed limit. For your safe driving, you are entered into a lottery to win a portion of the money from fines paid by speeders.That idea was tested in Sweden with great success. It's an example of "gamification," considered the next wave of social engagement and Internet technology.
Gamification "is the process of using game thinking and game mechanics to engage users and solve problems," says Gabe Zichermann, co-author of the book Game-Based Marketingand chairman of the Gamification Summit.He tells Weekend Edition Sunday host Liane Hansen that the speed-camera lottery in Sweden turns the whole idea of fines and penalties on its head, in a way that only "game people" think of. Instead of being structured around punishment and negativity, he says, the speed-camera lottery is "all about positive reinforcement." If you drive the speed limit, or under it, you may win some money.

"And that positive incentive to create better behavior," he says, "is a core tenet of games.

what do yall think?

so polvo asked me if I wanted to do a little cornhole toss............

I ran into polvo at the beach the other day..he was talking about a game I have never heard of.......called cornhole toss........he invited me to play...being from the south, I was a little reluctant to commit to participating in a game called cornhole toss .....I'm jest saying....... Anyway, polvo showed me the set up:

you toss bean bags and try to get them to fall into a hole on a board...similar to horseshoes with out the stakes or the horse shoes...........so we begin to play....i assume polvo has played this game since the 2nd grade as he seems to know the rules and talks a mean game..........

needless to say...after a few practice tosses....i shellacked polvo 3 - 2 and he hung his head and cried in shame:

this really is a fun game...and would probably be even more fun with a couple of tasty beverages........if you are interested check out the site: customecorntoss.com

How hot is it?

Much like me, you are probably wondering: How hot is it inside Earth?

Earth’s core temperature is estimated to be around 5,000 to 7,000 degrees Celsius. That’s about as hot as the surface of the sun, but vastly cooler than the sun’s interior.
