So it occurred to me suddenly what the entire Youtube draw is.

YouTube=Americas Funniest Home Videos for the internet.

Someone was asking why I wear the big industrial work boots everywhere.
Well, let me ask you this. How long should a pair of everyday use shoes last? a year? more? less?
Well a good pair of sneakers lasts me about 3 months before random people start actually telling me “dude, you need to buy some new shoes.”
So I tend to buy some shoes that look like they can take some abuse.
Here’s my industrial strength pair from last year.

The odd thing is, i live a pretty sedentary life. Those score marks, on the toe, are just from me walking to the store and stuff. I guess I must kick my feet together as I go or something.

If my current pair start looking like this, Maybe I’ll look into some chainsaw boots next year. http://workingperson.com/products/22_23_30/1/2243/Matterhorn_12277_10_Inch_Waterproof_UL_Chainsaw_Boot.html

Cyprus has pretty much the greatest flag ever.
Not only does it contain a picture of the country, which is exactly the sort of literal mindedness that I love, but it also has those lovely olive branches. Olive branches that symbolize a lasting peace between the greeks and the turks. Do a little googling and I’m sure you’ll find how well that’s working out for them.

This guy got entangled in scott’s grass long enough for me to snap a few pics when I was over taking those kitty/birdy photos.

You know that trick where the girl puts the cherry into her mouth ties the cherry stem into a knot and spits it back out?

I can do that. Easily. No Joke.

The trouble is, it’s supposed to be sortof a sexy thing to do. Supposedly shows how talented that tongue of yours is. I’ll tell you right now, it sure isn’t sexy. I make a lot of horrible faces and there are far more teeth involved than anyone should be comfortable with.

But, I can do it. I’m sorry I turned you on just now.

Thanks to Dave and Steph, my iMac now has worlds 1-1 and 3-1 mounted on top with doublesided foam mirror mounting tape.
And thanks to Vanessa and the whole gang, and my slanted ceiling now has Einstein side by side with Jean Claude Van Damme.
Things are now, as they should be.
