Life Lessons

There are a few good lessons to be learned from Foghorn Leghorn and this cartoon:
know how long your chain is
always keep your feathers numbered
a free snack might not be as good as it looks
a mouse at a burlesque show is confused
kids hear and emulate everything
its alright to admit when you’re wrong
but most importantly, I think:
You never know who you might end up growing old with; it may just be the one person that inspires the most passion in you; even if its in a bad way.
Anything can teach you something if you let it.

I think I’ve found the best missed connection since Jesus and all those Christians. But that’s a prank for another time. For now I’ll just let you bathe in the glory that is this particular craziness.
HA!
From January 2006 until today, at least 2000 people have claimed they have seen this man in their dreams, in many cities all over the world: Los Angeles, Berlin, Sao Paulo, Tehran, Beijing, Rome, Barcelona, Stockholm, Paris, New Dehli, Moskow etc.
At the moment there is no ascertained relation or common trait among the people that have dreamed of seeing this man. Moreover, no living man has ever been recognized as resembling the man of the portrait by the people who have seen this man in their dreams.
I feel safe in suggesting that Craziness is a fairly common trait.
But that doesn’t change the fact that I would like to encourage people to go to the download section and print out as many fliers (preferably at work all Fight Club style) as you can and post them around town. Just pick a language that isn’t common in your area. For example, in my area, I have chosen Hebrew, but you’ll have to give it some thought and see what works best for you.
Have fun!!
Zombies and Bingo

In a recent post I expressed an appreciation for Clint Maedgen and I got several emails from people saying, “yeah, those are nice but I’m don’t see the big deal”. Which made me think that I hadn’t been clear. Those were just a couple of videos I saw that I kinda liked. But really, the guy is into many, many other projects. Not the least impressive of which is The New Orleans Bingo Show. So you see, I was only giving you all a little glimpse in the hopes that you’d look into it a little more on your own. Perhaps I assumed too much.
And if all that weren’t enough; there’s always this amazing bit of Zombie Love.
I mean, the guy is awesomely talented!
BTW: I even have a pandora station for The New Orleans Bingo Show. HA!

What we’re doing:
Rules:
* Grab the book nearest you. Right now.
* Turn to page 56.
* Find the fifth sentence.
* Post that sentence (plus one or two others if you like) along with these instructions on your blog or (if you do not have your own blog) in the comments section of this blog.
*Post a link along with your post back to this blog.
* Don’t dig for your favorite book, the coolest, the most intellectual. Use the CLOSEST
So what did I find? Well the book was sitting right next to the computer so it was pretty easy.
Author: Michael Pollan
Title: Omnivore’s Dilemma
The Sentence: “In nature, the population of a species explodes until it exhausts its supply of food; then it crashes. In the market, an oversupply of a commodity depresses prices until either the surplus is consumed or it no longer makes sense to produce any more of it. In corn’s case, humans have labored mightily to free it from either constraint, even if that means going broke growing it, and consuming it just as fast as we possibly can.”
Sorry, but the sentence was at the conclusion of a chapter and alone it had no context so I threw the next two sentences in also. By the way, its an interesting book. Not exactly comforting, but interesting. I’m not done with it yet but it seems he’s great at pointing out the problem, but I’m afraid when I get to the end of the book the only alternative I’ll be offered is to stop eating, which I suspect isn’t much of an option at all. And before you hippies chime in with your “Just grow your own food, man”, shut up. I have a job and it isn’t farming.
What’cha readin’ Jack?

really, its a book, buy it.
Nice that after all these years I still love to read. But then, my tastes have changed over the years. Seems like a good place for a quote:
“A few of the guests, who had the misfortune of being too near the windows, were seized and feasted on at once”.
“”…What is to become of us? What are we to do?” would they often complain in the bitterness of woe. “How can you be smiling so, Lizzy”"
“Mr. Darcy watched Elizabeth and her sisters work their way outward, beheading zombie after zombie as they went”.
You get the idea. Good book.
Update/Clarification: This was in no way meant or intended to insult or hurt the feelings of any Termites that might be listed in my Blogroll. It was meant to make her smile.

Like the rest of the world, I’m not going to be all too productive today. Knowing this makes planning crucial – as in “don’t do any planning at all”. So you can imagine how happy I was to find that there’s a Loony Toons marathon on today on the Cartoon Network. It runs until this evening. This is seriously all the cartoons I grew up on that caused this condition of loving cartoons I now have.
I hope this signifies a good year starting out.
