Mercifully today is the end of NaBloPoMo.
What ever possessed me to participate in this I shall never know. It's done though and I did cheat a few times and posted just a word or two to keep me in the running.
It kind of takes the fun out of it when you feel obligated to post something every day.
Anyhoo -
Looking at the news across the world and I feel as grey and the day it is here in NJ.
The Mumbai crisis is just horrible. 174 people dead for what? I still don't know.
Thailand has 100,000 people stranded as protesters have taken over the airports and are refusing to let any plains take off. That is a situation that could get real ugly real soon if it's not dealt with quickly.
A man was trampled to death at a Wal-Mart on Black Friday as shopper shoved their way in to get bargains. What has happened to us as a society when a man is trampled to death and when the authorities try to get people to leave the store they shout out: "I've been in line since yesterday morning, I need to keep shopping."
Wait what? Is a human life worth more than saving a few bucks at freakin' Wal-Mart? I boycotted that store a long time ago now I've just reinforced why.
Two men shot each other to death in a toy store in Palm Desert, Ca. Apparently the wives or girlfriends of these two idiots started shouting at each other and along come the men to resolve the issue with guns. The Police think it may be gang related and not actually a fight over a toy, but come on!
Talk about your act of stupidity.
If you really want to go nuts, don't go to Arlington county Virginia. Apparently all the nuts are gone! There has been zero acorn production this year and Naturalists are scratching their...uh...heads trying to find out why.
Could it be global warming?
Dramatic climate changes?
Nah, just one of those freaks of nature that happens once in a while.
They aren't worried yet. ""What's there to worry about?" said Alan Whittemire, a botanist at the U.S. Arboretum. "If you're a squirrel, it's a big worry. But it's no problem for the oak tree. They live a long time. They'll produce acorns again when they're ready to." "
Butt the best story of them all and the stories I hunt for on the Internet is the "Butt Bandit" from Valentine, NE. Apparently 35 year old Tom Larvie has been leaving greasy imprints of his buttock and sometimes his groin on the windows of store, schools and churches for the past 2 years before the police finally caught him "in the act."
I cracked up when I read this story.
I wonder if butt prints are like finger prints and everyone has a different and unique print that can be used to identify them in court.
Ladies and gentlemen of the court, we will prove but the latest technology that the butt prints found on these windows are definitely Mr. Larvie's. Observe how the crack swerves slightly to the left. The hairy mole on his left butt check was prominent in all of the butt stamps we found around town.
That would be one jury I would happily "sit" in on!
heh, heh, heh
Peace all...I hope everyone is safe and sound and enjoying the last part of the weekend!
