I was riding the bus home today and a very pleasant woman across the aisle from me goes "Excuse me, but people touch that pole with their hands." Guess she didn't like that I had my feet up on one. Honestly, man, I wish I had so little to worry about that a shoe on a bus pole really offended me. It's not like I have AIDS on my sneakers. Really, I think there's probably way worse things on the hands of the nasty people that ride the bus than there is on the soles of my shoes. Alright, so that was all irrelevant but it pissed me off.

In other news, I stormed the wall! However, my extreme jumping skills will truly be put to the test in the finals tomorrow when I will be called upon to surmount a 12 foot wall without ground troops boosting me. Hmmm...

**Update**
Complete and utter failure to get over the wall. I am so ashamed. And we were in 2nd place when we got to the wall. Damn it.

**Update 2**
Actually I just got the results back from the lab, and there was some AIDS on my shoes. My bad.

It's about time! Finally, police in Texas are getting to the root of the drunk driving and public drunkenness issue that has plagued them for so long. In hindsight sending undercover agents into bars was really the only logical way to tackle it.
Yeah.
And... discuss amongst yourselves.

Alright ladies and gents, this is a brainstorming invitation. I've been thinking of tattoo idea's, but only if they are nerdy and/or clever (haha, like me.. shut up wlninja!). I open up the floor to anyone with good/whacky/interesting/whatever idea's. I haven't decided what the winner gets, but I promise it will be something good, like one of those plastic parachute men or something.

Leprechauns have been found!

*UPDATE*
caution to those you who have not seen it. I have just been informed that due to the hilarity of the footage, you might die a little inside.

Ch-ch-ch-check check it out

I got two more articles to add to the list of articles we got going here.

Here's the first one.

Here's the second one.

Both are about the Peg.
Enjoy

Alright, so I haven't finished reading the article yet, but the first paragraph or so struck me as intriguing.

Atheists identified as America’s most distrusted minority

Read the review for the first item.
Then read it again to make sure that you read it right.

That was quick

*Update*
Nothing related to above of course.
I don't know if I should be laughing, but it is funny, even tho it is quite horrible.
Here's the kicker

About 3,000 schoolchildren were at the recording and witnessed the accident

Ahhhh.
I'm going to hell.

Last night, I had the strangest dream. I dreamt that today was St. Patrick's Day and that my housemates woke me up early and dragged me to some random pub where they were serving green beer for free at 11AM. I think one of them sort of exploded on me. (After that it mostly deteriorated into nonsense I can no longer recall).

I challenge you, gentle readers, to explain the meaning of this complex and multilayered series of images, ideas, emotions, and sensations which occurred involuntarily in my mind while I slept.

We're going opening Night!

Somebody discovered this undersea crab creature thing that has weird albino fur/hair on it. It's cool looking.

Ahhh, the good ol' days.

Because I'm too lazy to re-write it, and also because I thought it was fairly well written (as my e-mails usually -aren't-) I thought I'd post an excerpt from an e-mail I wrote to my good friend, The World's Laziest Ninja:

The weather here is soo beautiful right now. There's still ice on the river but the sun is shining and you can feel the warmth of it through the light wind. Taking advantage of the weather I decided to take a walk to the tim hortons across the river (normally I'm stuck in the shacks doing homework or some other activity so this was a treat to go out during the day, especially just by myself). There is this arch that leads to the collage that RMC students can't pass through (tradition, its a memorial arch dedicated to the cadets who've died in wars) and walking out of the collage I see a bunch of people under it, taking pictures, lovers strolling under it holding hands. It's starting on tourist season and it's a weird feeling to see that your collage is the center of much of the tourism in Kingston (amongst a few other historical military sights). On Friday I was walking to Chemistry and a group of tourists walked by me and took pictures of me and some other cadets. In some ways its like living in the twilight zone. Everything seems normal to us because we live it everyday, but obviously the collage and the way we live is a major source of interest to certain people on the outside (history buffs and so on). I also get filled with a weird sense of pride though. Maybe my school isn't the crème de le crème (in terms of students and academics), but it's still an experience very few get to live. I complain about my collage a lot, but I'm also starting to recognize the value of this place. It's like we're in a time warp, and we experience on a daily basis certain of the exact same things students experienced 100 years ago that no other person in Canada gets to experience. Walking out of the collage I saw dozens of tourists walking in to experience RMC for an hour, as I walked back in and saw some of the same people walk out I realized something. They were walking out of a historical landmark, I was walking home. A very interesting moment in my life.

Here's a little something from the Rev'rend......... Nope Not Jesse Jackson!
but from Mister Rogers Himself!
It is from his book, "Life's Journey's According to Mister Rogers; Things to Remember Along the Way"

"You are a very special person. There is only one like you in the whole world. There's never been anyone exactly like you before, and there never will be again. Only you. And people can like you exactly as you are."

Oh, "Won't you be my Neightbour?"

Man, he rules.... Seriously, check out the link, he was a lot more than just the guy who won the Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny!

So Mister Mister, how went with the hotline?

as you can see, I'm too lazy to email, but not enough to not post.

In a separate experiment revealing another unusual business potential for cow dung, another group of researchers has successfully extracted an aromatic ingredient of vanilla from cattle dung, said Miki Tsuruta, a Sekisui Chemical spokeswoman. The extracted ingredient, vanillin, can be used as fragrance in shampoo and candles, she said.

Tsuruta said the vanillin was extracted from a dung solution in a pressurized cooker in a project co-organized by a Japanese medical research institute.

Ummm, yah....
