Signs I Like

 If you ever need a hammer in a rush.
 It's even funny when a stick man trips.
 Why is there a picture of Duran Duran on an old building in Lithuania?
 What exactly is this guy throwing out?
I like his pants.

I Don't Play Music

I have no skills playing the guitar, I know almost nothing about guitars, but I do know what I like.

Old T-Shirts Part 7 - Justice League

Over the next little while I'm going to be throwing out some old shirts that are worn out.  I hate getting rid of old shirts because they hold so many great memories for me.  I've decided, for the next little while, to post short stories about each shirt so they can be remembered forever... or at least until the internet is obsolete.
This shirt symbolizes exactly the level of Geek that I am.  It is also useful as a test to see how Geeky your friends might be too.  All you have to do is ask the people to name the characters on the shirt.  For the hardcore comic geek it should be no problem at all, for anybody else some of the characters create a bit of a problem.  The memory of this shirt comes from just such a situation.  I wore this shirt one day and asked Allison to name the characters, this was before we were married.  She went on to name them, and she got most of them as well.  Then she got to the two outside characters (the hardest for non-geeks).  I helped her eventually get Hawk Girl, but when she got to Martian Man Hunter she just blurted out "Hamburgler?"  That was the best wrong answer anybody could possibly udder.

Dream a Little Dream

Have you ever dreamed of seeing a giant gorilla hand attempt to pick up a car in an airport?  I used to dream about it all the time, now I don't have to.

Happy B-Day

No it's not my birthday, I'm talking about a bidet, that thing that cleans your nether regions.  Every once in a while I end up staying in a hotel room with one of these things, and every time I look at it with sheer terror.  I don't want to touch it, or even really look at it.  I know what it's for, but I can't figure out why you'd want to use it.
Well today I've decided that I will fear no longer, today I'm going to attempt to use a bidet.  Before my attempt I did a little internet research, because frankly I'm not really sure what I should be doing.  I found some great instructional videos and a few tips and tricks.  Then I promptly went into the bathroom in attempt to get over my fears.  I'm not going to give you much detail on the process, but I can tell you it's very refreshing.  The task itself is not very comfortable, and it seems like a lot of plumbing just to keep a very small percentage of your body a little cleaner.  I would also like to mention that it takes a great deal of skill to use this unit without making contact with it.

Old T-Shirts Part 6 - Gorilla

Over the next little while I'm going to be throwing out some old shirts that are worn out.  I hate getting rid of old shirts because they hold so many great memories for me.  I've decided, for the next little while, to post short stories about each shirt so they can be remembered forever... or at least until the internet is obsolete.
This shirt holds two memories for me.  One of the memories is very specific, the other is very general.  The specific memory came about one day while shopping at a mall.  I was wearing this shirt at a bookstore when the employee asked me if I liked Gorillas.  I asked him "the band or the animals?"  He looked at me strangely and didn't say another word.  I should have just said yes, because I in fact like them both.  The generally memory of this shirt comes from where I bought it.  I got this shirt at the Metro Toronto Zoo, one of my favourite places to visit in the whole world.  I haven't been back in a few years, but it's one of the places I miss most about my hometown.

Old T-Shirts Part 5 - The Rat

Over the next little while I'm going to be throwing out some old shirts that are worn out.  I hate getting rid of old shirts because they hold so many great memories for me.  I've decided, for the next little while, to post short stories about each shirt so they can be remembered forever... or at least until the internet is obsolete.
The first thing I should tell you about this shirt is what YRB stands for, it's "Yellow Rat Bastard".  It sounds obscene but it's just the name of a fancy clothing store in New York, which is where I bought it.  I didn't buy the shirt because of this, I bought it because I really liked the drawing of the rat on it.  The fond memory I have of this shirt came about while ridding in an elevator with a few friends of mine.  A guy got in elevator whom we knew worked in a fancy high fashion clothing designing company in the building.  He looked at my shirt and gave me high praise for my fashion choice.  I'm not a diva or anything, but I've never been praised... ever... for my high quality fashion choice.

Museum of Zoology - A Photo Essay

This nice man here collects animals.  He collects animals and lets the whole world see them.  He doesn't have a farm, he has a building, so his animals have to stay really still.
Look at the nice birdy... He's giving this sleeping bunny a back rub.
Look at the fish tank, it's almost as if there was no water at all, just layers of dust.
That's the flattest zebra I've ever seen.
Wow, what a collection of tape worms.
And look at this giant lobster, he looks like he could eat my whole head.
Sure the sign says "Elk".
But I think it's a moose.
I wonder why this guy look so scared?
This guy look really scared too.
My favorite part was seeing the squid, one day he'll grow up and take down a pirate ship or a big giant whale.
