Blog of Blogs...Part 2

There once was an indian maid, Who never was afraid. To.......wait a minute. This is not the time for this.
It is time for...........Blog of Blogs, Part 2.


As we left off, the Little Lobster had just returned from Scottland looking for a cure for the dreaded anal leakage. The Lobster kid had looked all over the world but had no success until it came back to Portland and saw the band Mirriors. Through the upbeat music, it was able to click its little lobster pinchers and the whole place was clicking and the leakage was cured.

Since then, The Lollipop Guild had just reorganized making its main goal to locate the missing Duck-billed Platypuss while at the same time acting like Denny Crane.
And as if the tornado that sent Dorothy's house a-flying wasn't enough, a "twister" hit the Vancouver area and scared the crap out of the Loolipop Guild folks.
And then a french fry walked into a bar and the bartender said..."we don't serve food here".
As the Loolipop Guild meeting was getting underway, they realized that one of them may actually be a sheep and they ordered Pancho to watch the boarders for the president of the Bank of Amigo (http://mfile.akamai.com/5020/wma/rushlimb.download.akamai.com/5020/clips/07/02/Amigo-card.asx).
Meanwhile across town, in Deadwood, folks were setting up new shops. Shops such as, A Doggy Day Care, a dating service for busy professionals, A Spa, Kinkos, a Gym, a Denzil Washington fan club and many more.
Soon after, Pablo, the white bunny appeared. He stayed for a while and has not been seen for a few months.
And Timmons said "now why don't he write?"
Later on, the Chilcott kids were seen grabbing their underwear and pulling them up as high as possible while doing the "we're going to D-Land" dance.
And then Nicolas Cage was seen searching for what looked like a little Lobster doing the "pincher dance" at the same time as Goofy was doing his "Ahh Hoo Hooey" thing.

Have a nice day........

"Oh the world owes me a livin'"

About a week ago Sue and I went to a movie while out of town. We saw the latest National Treasure movie with Nicolas Cage. Good movie too. In fact really good. In a Nicolas Cage kind of way. A good story and some pretty fine action stuff. I do recommend it. But that's not the point here.

Here is where it gets good. Stinking good in fact.

Flash forward. No wait. Flash backward about 30 years. You are sitting in a movie theater. And not only are you going to see not just one movie, but two. For the same price, but you do not have any previews or adds.

But what you do have (always) is a cartoon. Yes ladies and gentlemen, a real honest to goodness Warner Brothers type cartoon. Or Disney. Or whatever. The point is, it is a good cartoon.

Now here we are, about 30 years later. At a Regal Cinema. And what comes on the screen just before our feature?

A freaking Walt Disney Goofy movie. It was glorious. Goofy was at his best. Doing all of his Goofy stuff including his signature call as he falls of a mountain.....Ahh...whoooo hoooo hooooooyy.

You know what I'm talking about. We all love Goofy. And we both just looked at each other and just about cried with happiness. We were back in the day. And Regal started our feature film with a good ol' Walt Disney cartoon.

Life is good!

D-Land

Grab your underwear, pull them up around your waist, dance around, turn up the volume and enjoy.

"Now...Why don't He Write?"

Dances With Wolves. Any time. Any place.

In the event that you don't know, Dances With Wolves is my all time favorite movie. And now I am listening to 10 hours of it in my car on tape. I am captivated by it's story. I want to be there.

And of course there are some glorious lines. Like when Timmons and Dunbar find the dead dude with arrows in him and Timmons says the famous line..."somebody back East is saying, now...why don't he write?" Glorious I tell ya! And then there's the line when Dunbar (Kostner) looks right at his horse and says "what are you looking at?" Oh yeah! And of course there's the one when Dunbar's horse, Cisco, scares him and he says..."bad horse....bad horse".

So with great lines in mind, what are some of your favorite lines from some of your favorite movies?

Alice? Is that you?

Yesterday morning we were greeted by a white rabbit hanging out under a bush in the front yard. He was just sitting there. We thought perhaps he was a pet that had gotten away. Not knowing what to do, we did nothing.

Then in the afternoon I looked over by the trailer and he was sitting next to the big stump. I went over near him and he hopped away under another bush. Sue came out and put a big chunk of lettuce on the stump for 'eem.

Later, we couldn't find him. We though that perhaps he had gone away. Or maybe he had found another spot to bed down for the night.

This morning...........he's back. He's sitting next to the trailer again just looking so bunny-like. He's really cute. I want to go try to pet 'eem but he'll run away. And who knows, he may be a wild ferocious rabbit anyway and could take my head off.

For now, we are enjoying our visitor and I hope he stays.

Business Opportunity in Deadwood

Deadwood is a cool show. We are almost finished with the first episode and we are noticing how the little town is growing. A semi-government and lots of new business are popping up.

We asked ourselves, what kind of business would we put into Deadwood if we lived there?

A few ideas came up. Like laundry service. Or maybe even a restrant.

And then we asked ourselves what kind of business would we do that really would make no sense at all. Like....an airport. Or video store. Or internet cafe. You get the idea.

Give it your best shot.

What kind of business would you put into Deadwood that really would make no sense at all based upon the times in which they lived.

Go ahead. Give it a try.

News Flash...Hillsboro changes elevation!

A few years ago I was doing some testing at Intel which required me to know the temperature, barometric pressure, wind speed etc. And I needed to know the exact elevation. So my company purchased a very expensive gizmo that tells you all of that.
We determined that the elevation at the Hillsboro Airport was 230' above sea level. It was determined that the airport was the average elevation for Hillsboro.
Ok. You following so far?..........
Flash forward to yesterday and today.
I am driving home from work. Listening to the radio. And the weather dudes and dudettes say that today will be rainy with snow above 1200'.
I wake up this morning to realize that either the sea level dropped over night, or Hillsboro rose from an average of 230' above sea level to over 1200'.
I am astonished that this geographical Biblical type stuff still happens. And it makes me happy.
Good day.

I may be a Sheep

Bahh....... Bahh..........

I think I'm a Sheep.

Today at Red Robin I ordered Fish and Chips (without the chips). Of course it is served in a plastic bowl thingy that is lined with paper.

I found out today that Malt Vinegar saturates paper to the point of it being really soft.

So soft in fact that each time I would cut through the fish with my fork, I would get a nice little piece of the paper with it.

The wierd thing is I had eaten about 3 to 4 inches of the papewr before I noticed.

And then it freaked me out that I had eaten the paper.

That's when I realized that I was a Sheep.

Bahh....Bahh.....

Bank Of Amigo

At Northern California University, the School of Agriculture's dean was interviewing a prospective student."Why have you chosen this career?" the dean asked."I dream of making a million dollars in farming, like my father," the student replied."Your father made a million dollars in farming?" echoed the dean, much impressed."No," replied the applicant. "He just always dreamed of it."

Good day!

Missing in Action (Part 2)

The following Bloggers have been missing for a while.
James was last heard from when the Daily Chorus was reaming him and stuffing the ballot box with some 13 year old band dudes. It ain't right.
And the Shlee of Ahh...perhaps was taken by the look-a-like twins.
If you see these missing bloggers have them contact Blog Central immediately.

And as reported in a previous MIA post Jon (the Cubs guy), and Amy (the Blog Queen) are still missing.

Good luck on the missing blogger searches.

It's a twister Auntie Em!

How was my day today you ask?

So I'm heading down I-5 from Kalama, Washington about noonish today. I had just completed an inspection and was heading back to Oregon. The rain was steadily getting stronger. I pulled over and text Sue to tell her that it was raining buckets O' water. I got back onto the freeway and headed South again. The rain was picking up even more. And in the distance I could see lightening and heard it crackling through the radio. The sky was wierd. Kind of a dark blueish color. You could see the storm. Almost as if I was driving into it.
And then I realized that I was. The rain turned even more powerfull. My wipers were going full speed and it wasn't keeping up. The lightening was more intense and then I noticed the hail. Monster hail. Like the size of marbles. Honestly, I thought my windshield would break. The visibility was no more than 50', if that. The entire I-5 stopped. Good thing.
The hail was so loud that it sounded like a million drumsticks banging on the car. And it had covered the ground what looked like at least an inch. Luckily for me, there was an offramp. So I got off and crawled away to the side.
About this time, I turned the radio back on, since I had turned it off because I couldn't hear it anyway through the hail.
And what did I hear? A stinking tornado had just touched down right where I was. It ended up ripping up houses, trees and flipping semi trucks.
I was Ok although a bit freaked out.
I waited a while before heading back onto the road.
Oh my God! I had just missed a tornado. Or it had just missed me. Right here in the Northwest.
That's what I did today.
