ram
My car needed to be inspected today for my vehicle registration renewal. I took it to an auto shop so
that could be taken care of. The waiting room at the place is very interesting. There are all sorts
of sports memoribilia on the walls and behind glass cases. I live close to St. Louis, so it was mostly
Cardinals, Rams and Blues stuff. But one thing in particular was a little odd. The NFL team here is
the Rams. In the waiting room, on the wall, was a real live (um, dead) stuffed ram's head with a
football jersey wrapped around the neck (to make it look like the ram was wearing the jersey). Quite a
bizarre site to behold. My car passed the inspection just fine. Next I have to take it to get an
emissions test done. After that, I have to go wait in line at the DMV. What fun that will be! Yes,
my friends...that was sarcasm.
Yesterday's Kirara Adoption pic isn't the first one. Below are the previous two.

I had people bid on each character. Whoever made me the best bid earned the, um, "adoption rights" to
the character. My memory is a bit fuzzy, but I believe that sango18 won Inuyasha and demonicalchemist
won Sesshomaru. I'm not sure. Kirara is up for bids. Make me the best fictional (read: not real)
offer and I'll send her to you in a refrigerator box punched full of airholes.
No pic with today's news story. But I personally think this one is pretty funny. lol

Goose Gets Revenge Against Swedish Hunter
STOCKHOLM, Sweden (AP) - A Swedish hunter spent two days in bed after being knocked unconscious by a
Canada goose that landed on his head moments after his son shot it dead, news reports said Wednesday.
The goose had been flying about 66 feet up in the air when it was shot by Carl Johan Ilback, who was
hunting with his father, Ulf, along a stream in eastern Sweden in August. When the goose dropped from
the sky, it hit Ulf Ilback in the head and knocked him out, he said. "It wanted to extract its revenge,
I assume," Ulf Ilback told local newspaper Extra Ostergotland. "If it had gotten a better hit, it could
have broken my neck." Ilback spent two days in bed with severe headaches before returning to work. "The
story brought about a lot of laughter at work," he was quoted as saying, adding that during this
month's moose hunt, he may wear a helmet.

About the chocolate milk, someone reminded me that I didn't say please. I'll say it now. Please?
I still don't have a clip of that song. Maybe that's a good thing...
LS vs. The DVD Player
Recently (about 24 hours ago), I was exposed to a weird and horrendous song online called "La Vaca".
It sounds like some drunk guy singing in Spanish. I wish I had a clip for you so you could hear it for
yourself, but I don't at the moment. I'll try to get one in the near future. Later in the day at
work, I was laughing because of the stupid song. My boss just looked at me like I had three heads.
Anyone else do that before? You know, laugh out loud because of something and have people stare at you
like you're insane?
In other news, my DVD player was making that clicking noise again. I had enough and I did something
that I rarely do to my electronic equipment: I hit it. The screen on my movie (Ferris Bueller's Day
Off) froze. Without panicking, I hit it again. The screen jumped, but it was still frozen. Then I hit
it one more time. It didn't jump and the movie played just fine. I tested the player with a few DVDs
and there was no clicking sound. Heh. It appears that smacking the crap out of it saved the day.
Good.

I was asked if I wear glasses. The answer to that is no. No glasses, no contacts, nothing. I'm the
only one in my immediate family who doesn't have to wear glasses.

Python Bursts After Trying to Eat Gator
MIAMI (AP) - The alligator has some foreign competition at the top of the Everglades food chain, and
the results of the struggle are horror-movie messy. A 13-foot Burmese python recently burst after it
apparently tried to swallow a live, six-foot alligator whole, authorities said. (...) The gory evidence
of the latest gator-python encounter - the fourth documented in the past three years - was discovered
and photographed last week by a helicopter pilot and wildlife researcher (see picture below). The snake
was found with the gator's hindquarters protruding from its midsection. [Frank Mazzotti, a University
of Florida wildlife professor] said the alligator may have clawed at the python's stomach as the snake
tried to digest it. (...)"

I've received a few spam e-mails lately that say "NOT SPAM" in the subject line. Wow. That'll
work.
down the drain
My day didn't start too well. This morning when I woke up, my leg was asleep. Maybe it wasn't ready
to "wake up" with the rest of my body. It was a little hard to walk around until the feeling went
away. Also, my bathroom sink is plugged up by a rubber stopper. It doesn't have one of those metal
stopper things that you can push from the faucet. So my drain is wide open, wide enough for my
toothbrush to fall into. And that's what happened. I retrieved my toothbrush and threw it away. I
wasn't going to put that thing into my mouth. Luckily, a spare toothbrush was on hand. The rest of my
day went pretty good though.
In a shameless attempt to make my post longer, I present random filler pictures:

Accused Nude Burglar Asks for Shorts
COTTONWOOD, Ariz. (AP) - A man accused of trying to burglarize a home while naked Tuesday stopped in
mid-escape to ask the victim for a pair of shorts, a sheriff's spokeswoman said. The victim threw the
shorts to the accused burglar, who then fled, said Susan Quayle, a spokeswoman for the Yavapai County
Sheriff's Department. Nickos George Kopsaftis was later arrested next door, apparently while trying to
steal a car, Quayle said. "He was wearing the shorts that were donated to him," she said. Quayle said a
man house-sitting for his father found Kopsaftis standing naked in an upstairs room holding two rifles
belonging to the homeowner. The victim told sheriff's deputies that he got the rifles away from the
man, who ran away, but not before stopping outside to ask for clothes, Quayle said. When deputies
arrived, they found a pair of wet socks and a pair of wet pants with Kopsaftis' wallet and ID inside,
Quayle said. A banging sound from next door led deputies to a car which Kopsaftis appeared to be trying
to hot-wire, she said. Kopsaftis was booked into the county jail on two counts of burglary and two
counts of attempted theft. She said she didn't know how Kopsaftis' pants got wet.

I went to that store that I had a giftcard for. I won't say the name again since I do not want to give
them any more free advertising. However, I doubt that anyone walks into that store and says "I bought
this game here since LordSesshomaru talked about your retail establishment on his webpage!" Anyhoo, I
picked up the full version of "Genji: Dawn of the Samurai". In front of me in line was this man who
had no less than seven giftcards on his person. Why he had so many is beyond me. And he had
the cashier check the dollar amount on each one too, which made me wait longer. *sighs* I played the
game and it's very good. I've heard that it's short in length. That doesn't bother me since I don't
spend as much time with my games as I used to.
In the evening, I spoke briefly with my brother in the Marines. He had one of his wisdom teeth pulled.
His speech was a bit slurred because of that. He isn't feeling too good either, but says that he
should be all right after getting some rest. I hope so. I've heard stories about wisdom teeth removal
from friends...not good stories either. Luckily, I don't have to get my wisdom teeth pulled. Me and
my big mouth, lol. *rimshot*
Thanks for voting in my little poll yesterday. The last time I checked, Inuyasha vs. Japan was in the
lead. It's nice to get feedback from you all with things like that every once in a while. ^_^
I received the following image from Reoku-Himura for co-winning one of her riddle of the day contests. Thank you!
About the news story yesterday, I have no idea why there was a jewelry shop inside of a hospital. My
best guess is that people buy "get well" presents there for patients. Today's story is...well...read
it for yourself.

Chimp no longer has monkey on her back
BEIJING (Reuters) - A chimpanzee in a northwest China zoo has quit smoking after 16 years with the help
of her keepers, official media reported. The staff, worried about her declining health, weaned 27-year
-old "Ai Ai" off tobacco by distracting her with entertainment and a tastier diet, Xinhua news agency
said. "The zoo keepers tried every way to divert the chimp's attention from cigarettes: a walk after
breakfast, a music session after lunch and gym after dinner," Xinhua said. She also got fried dishes
and dumplings, as well as the usual diet of milk, bananas and rice, said one zoo keeper. "I also put
earphones on her so that she could enjoy some pop music from my walkman," he said. "In the first few
days, she squealed for cigarettes every now and then, but as her life became more colorful she
gradually forgot about them altogether." Xinhua attributed Ai Ai's habit to solitude and grief. Living
in a safari park in Shaanxi province, she had taken up smoking in 1989 shortly after her mate died, it
said. Then she had become a chain smoker after her second mate died in 1997 and her daughter was moved
to another zoo. Xinhua did not say who had first given cigarettes to her or kept supplying them. The
Xian Evening News said the zoo was trying to find another mate for her.
The Million Dollar Question: who gave a chimp cigarettes in the first place?

What's your favorite midnight snack?
I'm out of gum. The world will end unless I get more...
d'oh
Today, I started things off on the wrong foot, literally. When I was getting out of bed, I stepped on
my TV remote control. In addition to hurting the bottom of my foot, the remote turned my television
on. My channel was set on Cartoon Network and that Kids Next Door show was on. *shrugs* It's times
like this when I look around and think that I should clean up my surroundings. But I am too lazy to do
anything. My laziness will probably get me severely hurt one day.
I've finished the first draft of the Fluff Daddy fanfic. I'll be working on "bonus features" tomorrow.
The whole thing should be ready by week's end. But I want a little feedback on my previous work.
Which of my stories is your favorite (if you have one, that is, lol). Please vote in the poll below if
you wish. Thank you! ^_^

Thief flees British hospital jewelry shop on crutches
LONDON (AFP) - A man with a bandaged leg and using crutches fled a British hospital after allegedly
steeling three gold rings from a jewelry shop there, police said. Police said the theft occurred
Wednesday when the man asked to see the rings before grabbing them and running onto the grounds of
Cardiff's University of Wales Hospital. The man described as heavyset and in his 30s or 40s took a
nine carat white gold diamond ring, an 18 carat white gold ring and a 19 carat white gold ring with
diamond studs. Police are still seeking information in the case.

You've heard me rant about how evil children's television characters are. You know, like Barney
(a.k.a. the Devil) and the Teletubbies (a.k.a. The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse). Well, here's a
photo providing proof of more evil over at PBS:
I received my new issue of OPM. Inside was a demo for the upcoming Soul Calibur III. I played it and
it's pretty good (as expected). I only got to play as Kilik. I've been waiting to get my hands on the
full game for a while now and this demo only makes my wait feel so much longer. But good things come
to those who wait, or so I've been told. My last demo had a demo of the One Piece fighting game on
there. I had a lot of fun with that, it's easily one of the best anime-based fighters that I've
played.
ImageShack must have had some problems with yesterday's pic within my first hour of posting yesterday.
I fixed the problem. So if you missed it, scroll down to yesterday's post and you should be able to

Fugitive goes on date with policeman
BUDAPEST (AFP) - A fugitive who escaped from prison in Hungary was caught when he unwittingly went out
on a date with a policeman, the national police said in a statement. The unidentified man, sentenced
for robbery and fraud, had posted an ad with his own photo in an online dating website. He set up a
date for Thursday at a pastry shop with someone who he thought was a woman. "At the place of the
rendez-vous the surprised man was caught and that is when he realized that the woman with whom he had
exchanged emails and for whom he brought a ring was actually a man and on top of it a detective," the
police said.

Today, I had a late lunch with my friends. Like a fool, I accepted a challenge. Burritos were the
food. Lots of hot sauce and peppers were the additions. My stomach burning like crazy was the end
result. One of my friends said that none of us could eat a burrito with all of the extra peppers in it
without taking a drink of soda part way. I proved him wrong and ate the thing without a drink. It was
very hot, but I've had hotter. However, my poor stomach seemed to catch on fire a while later. I took
some antacids. I feel a lot better now. What we did was very sophomoric and juvenile. But....we are
very sophomoric and juvenile. If you read my site often, you know that already. Some day, I will tell you all the story about the shopping carts and the creek from our high school days...
My DVD stopped making the clicking noises that I mentioned yesterday. I'm not sure why it was doing
that. I think it might have something to do with the DVD I watched (Office Space). But it never did
that before when I watched that DVD. I hope it doesn't happen again, but it probably will.

Man Found Driving Ambulance With Dead Deer
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) - A man reported missing from a Florida hospital was found in North Carolina
dressed like a doctor and driving a stolen ambulance with a dead deer wedged in the back, authorities
said. Leon Holliman Jr., 37, was reported missing from a River Region Human Services facility in
Jacksonville last month. The North Carolina State Highway Patrol found him driving the ambulance with
the deer on Sunday. "I don't know how the man got it up in there," said Sgt. Robert Pearson. "It was a
six point buck." It wasn't known where Holliman got the deer, which had been dead for some time,
Pearson said. Holliman was admitted to a North Carolina hospital for a psychiatric evaluation. Police
said they would decide whether to charge Holliman after that evaluation is complete.
That is easily one of the craziest news stories I've ever read.
yuck
This is probably one of the most disgusting websites that I've ever stumbled across. A local radio
show was plugging this in the morning, so I thought I'd share it with you all. It's a calculator for
estimating how many "animal and insect impurities" are in the foods that you eat. Play around with it if you want (opens in a
new window). Yuck.
I played that Genji demo today. The game is pretty fun. You play as a samurai (I forgot his name) in
Japan. Duh, of course he's in Japan. That is where one usually would find a samurai. Anyway, the
game controls pretty good. The graphics are great too. You can build up levels and stats (like an
action RPG). My favorite feature is the ability to slow down time when your little meter thing fills
up. The demo has three actual levels on it, one training level, and one town to visit. I'm glad that
I got the demo since I never would have played this game otherwise. Hmm...I might buy it. *stares at
$50 giftcard from boss* Yes...I might...
Let's see...what else is there to talk about? Nothing really. So, let's move on to the crazy news

Eviction Escape: Man Flees, Pig Attacks
BOULDER CREEK, Calif. (AP) - A man and his pet wild pig facing eviction from their Boulder Creek home
have eluded authorities - the man by running into the woods, and the pig by attacking deputies. Santa
Cruz County Sheriff's deputies have tried numerous times to evict Christian Canabou from his home, but
he always flees when they arrive, authorities said. Canabou has now been ordered by animal control
officials to evict the pig - a 200-pounder named Kate. He was given until 10 p.m. Thursday to remove
the animal from the property, where neighbors have complained it has become a nuisance. But getting
Canabou and the pig to leave hasn't been an easy task. "The pig, and I don't know her name, is
aggressive," sheriff's Sgt. Fred Plageman said. "It seems to be a domesticated pig, and on past
occasions it has chased deputies around and chewed up part of a patrol car." Deputies tried again to
evict Canabou on Tuesday but found only the pig. They posted eviction notices and left the property.
"The rumor is that every time we go up there, the owner runs into the woods," said Mike McFarland,
general manager of Santa Cruz County Animal Services. "To be boldly honest, we don't really want to
take custody of a 200-pound pig."
