    I LOVE AUSTIN!!! laugh

     

    Until you are sitting on a bench in the park enjoying a fine Latvian pastry and you are antagonisticly assaulted by Austin Arnie the Angry Acned Autogyrocycling Atheist Armadillo Alexandertorte Assassin... Again and again... He has trouble controlling his autogyrocycle, so it's not actually repeated assaults, just a really bad landing... But that is one mean pimply alexandertorte hating armadillo.

     

    I'ved lived all over this town, off and on, for nearly 5 years now and I have *never* seen a live armadillo. I don't think they can make it downtown over all the roads..

    Did you know that humans and armadillos are the only animals that host the leprosy bacteria? surprise 

    I hosted a leprosy bacteria party a few years ago... It wasn't much fun.

    ...everyone there just went to pieces didn't they?

    Okay, what's with all the Monty Python Holy Grail-termed products this week? First we get the bravely bold Sir Robin and we get "Bring Out Your Dead!" poses for the Medieval Cart! XD 

    ...well, letsee, we already have a killer rabbit.

    Maybe...Ah! Camelot...

    Camelot...

    Camelot....

    Trying to remember who won the big game January 2000.   Planning on writing a story that takes place winter/ spring of 2000 and trying to do research for the story.

    ...If you're referring to the Superbowl it was the St Louis Rams who defeted the Tennessee Titans 23 - 16

    ...If it's the Rose Bowl, it was Wisconsin Badgers who Defeated Stanford Cardinal 17 - 9.

    ..OK spammage over.

    Been busy with other projects the last week or so. Lots of catchup to deal with (though I usually prefer sriracha or a hot English Mustard).

    Crikey, still have 13 unread emails in the Daz Forum inbox to go, but it's already 02:30.

    ...mmm Canadian Whiskey feels good, especially on one of those dark and stormy nights. Seems the characteristic soggy weather the Pacific Northwet is known for has finally returned, making the long warm and dry summer we had seem but a distant dream.

    Nite All.

    Piet Mondrian...Partridge Family...coincidence?

    That is the worst camouflage paint job I've ever seen... To the point where it's like anti-camouflage... Shootmeflage, actually.

    But that was their choice I guess... 

    Isn't that one of the pictures from the "Speed 4 - Reunion" trailer?  

    I heard it did pretty bad... having shortest ever "theater to DVD to garbage dump in New Mexico" release time of two days... Apparently it would have been shorter had the truck carrying the DVDs not broken down in Frezno... The whole production was fraught with difficulties... Of the surviving Partridge Family members, only Danny Bonaduce was willing to play himself and the rest of the cast had to be played by cardboard cutouts. Only the original cast members from the first Speed movie returned and that was because they were duped into believing someone close to them had been kidnapped and would not be released until production was done.... The movie ran way over the original budget of $25 that the production company was able to raise using Kickstarter. On the first day of shooting Sandra Bullock became enraged and mauled a camera operator, Dennis Hooper kept pooping in the back of the bus and Keanu Reeves kept wandering off and getting lost to the point where they had used one of those electric dog collars on him (it can be seen in the film at around 6:03:0005). Even the name of the film was a problem... technically it should have been Speed 3, but figuring the second one was so bad they decided to skip 3 and go right over to 4 in hopes people might not remember 3... That only confused people and then to further complicate matters a spelling mistake caused the movie to actually be named "Speed 4- Reonion" which caused controversy and protests from the American Onion Growers Guild... But that wasn't as bad as the poor translation for the Spanish title "Fea Bus el Plátano Homosexual" which translated loosely means "Ugly Bus the Gay Banana" or something like that... Early on in production the original bus caught fire and had to be euthanized, so the rest of the film was shot aboard a dilapidated 2001 Pontiac Aztec painted to look like the bus... The seating was so tight Danny Bonaduce kept falling out of the missing rear hatch door every time the vehicle hit a bump. The movie did so poorly, if you check for it on IMDB, you won't even find mention of it... 

    Apparently the convoluted plot centered on a slightly mad, but mostly misunderstood bomber Howard Payne, who has accidentally been resurrected by a chemical spill on his grave, now sad and repenting his former actions, Payne, played by Dennis Hopper (but this time with a beard and mustache), leaves a "bomb" aboard the Partridge Family Reunion Tour bus and apparently forces it to drive 51 miles per hour... Keanu Reeves reprises his role from the first movie but as his estranged twin with a very curly beard and mustache... And Sandra Bullock plays her character's doppelgänger (with a goatee) from an alternate universe who is acting as the group's tour manager... Oddly enough everyone in the movie has a beard or mustache... The movie has the record for most facial hair in a movie and apparently used over 11,000 fake mustaches and beards... Mostly really cheap bulk ones from .99¢ stores or discarded hair clumps from barber shops and Brazilian waxing salons... The story starts when Harry Payne (Hopper) calls Evaline Porter (Bullock) to let her know he left a bomb in the back of the bus, the call is cut off and Porter tells everyone the bus will blow up if it does not maintain a speed of 51 MPH... Payne calls Jim Tavern (Reeves) trying to reach his brother Jack,  but since they both have similar numbers, Payne misdials and gets Jim instead... Payne informs Jim, thinking he is Jack, that Porter misunderstood him, Panye actually pooped in the back of the bus and refered to it as a "bomb" and felt guilty, but Porter thought he meant an explosive and jumped to a conclusion... Knowing the bus is peice of crap, he informs Tavern that he has to stop the bus or it will explode... The line goes dead because Payne/Hopper looses interest in the conversation and quit the movie. Tavern, hoping to outdo his brother's bravery decides to stop the bus himself. He gets on his bicycle and races off to intercept the bus but gets a flat and has to commandeer a toddler's tricycle... after a dramatic tricycling through traffic scene he manages to get ahead of the bus and steps in front of it, but Porter who is now driving the bus because the person they hired to drive the bus lost interest and left the film too, sees Tavern in front of the bus and runs him down because she hates cheap fake mustaches and beards made of discarded pubic hairs and Keanu Reeves too...   Tavern is killed by the bus and or the convoy of 47 tractor trailers that pass after it and possibly the parade of circus elephants that cross the road after them... As the bus approaches a dangerous curve in the road, Porter announces her name is really Evil Lynne Porter and she is going to blow up the bus because the stupid movies almost ruined her career as a professional beard dresser... She jumps from the bus (really just a cardboard cut out of Bullock tossed out the door) as it flies off a cliff and she detonates a real bomb aboard it... The flaming remains of the bus/Pontiac fall onto a pear tree in front of a Christmas tree factory, while the background music plays "The Twelve Days of Christmas".... The End.

    I know it wasn't right to blow the plot for you guys, but sorry... the movie is impossible to find anyway, unless you want to go digging up dumps in New Mexico like I did... Besides I've been feeling vindictive since the people who are trying to reboot "Mystery Science Theater 3000" using Kickstarter, wouldn't pay me the $17 I want for the last remaining DVD copy of the film... Cheap robot bastards.... And one human too.

    OMG, McGyver, you could have a great career as a screenwriter.  Thanks for the belly laughs this morning.

    Good morning all! smiley

    Woke up early and got breakfast at Whataburger (scrambled eggs, biscuit, bacon, and hash browns with a coffee), then shopped for soup and stew to eat for lunch at the office.  Next up, time to get cleaned up and dressed and head out for wings and football! laugh 

    In Tulsa, I could barely walk anywhere - no sidewalks so it was in the treacherous grass or on the road, neither of which was good for my poor feet.  Here, I can walk all over the place, and while it's taking some getting used to again I already feel healthier!  When i lived here before I'd wlk a couple of miles na dy, and about 4-5 over the weekend!

    Wlking is important for me - helps keep the blood sugar down and my circulation up, very important for anyone with diabetic foot issues.  plus it helps me lose weight, another importqnt thing.

    Wherever I end up moving to for a long-term place, it's going to be near a bus stop so I can get to all the parks and fun places.

    I did discover it's *possible* to get a drivers license with only one functuonal eye if it's 20/70 with glasses.  I'm nt sure I'm that good, but it might be worth gettng tested to see.  I'd likely not on a car but get one of those suer-cute gas scooters to putter around in when the weather's good.  Trouts on wheels!  Otherwise, I'm going to save for an electric bicycle.. I used to have one, and man, are they a blast!  No insurance or license required, but they only go 35mph.. although that would esily get me from the light rail station to work...

    Well, time to wash up and prepare!  Looking forwrd to some good games today!!

    Everyone have a great <enter yout time here>!

     

    ...hmm a trout on a bicycle.   Fascinating.

    There is a company in India that makes an electric scooter which they will be marketing here in the US.. Thinking about one of those myself. as where I am I wouldn't need a DL since it isn't gas powered and only tops out at around 30 mph. In Oregon you can ride a scooter without a DL as long as it's under 50cc.

    Yeah I like the area where I am in.  High "walkability" rating which is what I need. 10 min to the area where I like to shop, really cool places on the Ave near by me,  My fave Hawai'ian BBQ place just a few blocks away.

    Texas has good electric bike and scooter laws, it's oddly progressive.  eBikes and eScooters aren't cheap, but there are several shops in town and I could keep one in the place I'm planniong on moving into (should that all gel).

    Football and wings Sunday.. shopping tomorrow.  Also have to check out a potential longer-term place to stay! smiley

    OMG need beer so badly...

    NYC is rotten with electric bike messengers and food delivery guys zipping around on all manner of crappy electric scooter and bike imaginable... The only problem is, as far as I've seen nobody enforces the laws, and worse than in the 80s and 90s when regular bike messengers went off the wall with their antics, most of these guys have no clue or are zoned out... As a biker, I have to say there is a difference between peddling and just steering, and it shows... They ride like a Labrador Retriever would if they could work the throttle and brakes... When their brakes work... Or lights work... Or horn... Or brains. It's a mess... Couple them with the phone zombies and any automotive visit to the city is a real bummer.

    The eBike I'm looking at is pedal-assist, not throttle-only.. no pedal, no go.  Means I still get SOME exercise!

    NYC sucks for traffic, period.  Austin is WAY better.. most of the time..

    I am waiting for my $90 dress to arrive.  KMart sent it using UPS.  UPS then transfered the package to the U.S. Postal Service.  I hope the post office did not misplace my dress.  The post office misplaced my AC adapter and some books that I bought a few months ago.

    If they lose it, you will have to change your name to Victoria and buy a sword.  I hope your package shows up quickly.

     

    The dress arrived.  The package sat at the post office for one and a half days.  I forgot to mention that I bought the dress when it was on sale for $15.  It has spaghetti straps, a lace skirt and rhinestones around the waist.

    I bought the neighbor's cat one just like that in black for his birthday... I should probably stop cross-dressing other people's pets, but it confuses the hell out of them and the cat seems to enjoy it.

    Good morning all! smiley

    Woke up early and got breakfast at Whataburger (scrambled eggs, biscuit, bacon, and hash browns with a coffee), then shopped for soup and stew to eat for lunch at the office.  Next up, time to get cleaned up and dressed and head out for wings and football! laugh 

    In Tulsa, I could barely walk anywhere - no sidewalks so it was in the treacherous grass or on the road, neither of which was good for my poor feet.  Here, I can walk all over the place, and while it's taking some getting used to again I already feel healthier!  When i lived here before I'd wlk a couple of miles na dy, and about 4-5 over the weekend!

    Wlking is important for me - helps keep the blood sugar down and my circulation up, very important for anyone with diabetic foot issues.  plus it helps me lose weight, another importqnt thing.

    Wherever I end up moving to for a long-term place, it's going to be near a bus stop so I can get to all the parks and fun places.

    I did discover it's *possible* to get a drivers license with only one functuonal eye if it's 20/70 with glasses.  I'm nt sure I'm that good, but it might be worth gettng tested to see.  I'd likely not on a car but get one of those suer-cute gas scooters to putter around in when the weather's good.  Trouts on wheels!  Otherwise, I'm going to save for an electric bicycle.. I used to have one, and man, are they a blast!  No insurance or license required, but they only go 35mph.. although that would esily get me from the light rail station to work...

    Well, time to wash up and prepare!  Looking forwrd to some good games today!!

    Everyone have a great <enter yout time here>!

     

    ...hmm a trout on a bicycle.   Fascinating.

    There is a company in India that makes an electric scooter which they will be marketing here in the US.. Thinking about one of those myself. as where I am I wouldn't need a DL since it isn't gas powered and only tops out at around 30 mph. In Oregon you can ride a scooter without a DL as long as it's under 50cc.

    Yeah I like the area where I am in.  High "walkability" rating which is what I need. 10 min to the area where I like to shop, really cool places on the Ave near by me,  My fave Hawai'ian BBQ place just a few blocks away.

    Texas has good electric bike and scooter laws, it's oddly progressive.  eBikes and eScooters aren't cheap, but there are several shops in town and I could keep one in the place I'm planniong on moving into (should that all gel).

     

    NYC is rotten with electric bike messengers and food delivery guys zipping around on all manner of crappy electric scooter and bike imaginable... The only problem is, as far as I've seen nobody enforces the laws, and worse than in the 80s and 90s when regular bike messengers went off the wall with their antics, most of these guys have no clue or are zoned out... As a biker, I have to say there is a difference between peddling and just steering, and it shows... They ride like a Labrador Retriever would if they could work the throttle and brakes... When their brakes work... Or lights work... Or horn... Or brains. It's a mess... Couple them with the phone zombies and any automotive visit to the city is a real bummer.

    Traffic. got so bad here the past month every messenger I saw was walking and pushing their bike. I guess they aren't called push bikes for nothing heh :)
