The Girl With The Green Nipples

Winter Curryfest 2005 went deliciously well, even tho I did a last minute switch from beef to pork. We made about 2 gallons of curry and then ate us a most wonderful meal. Indeed, so yummy was it, we shall repeat it for lunch today. Then will come the freezing for future meals. In addition …

The Secret War Between Chickens And Ducks

quack:) Well, it's looking to be another busy weekend here on Planet Cross. Tomorrow Grace and I will cart Roscoe off to Launderdog for a much overdue bath, then return home for studying/homework (Grace), gardening (Me) and napping (Roscoe). A bit later in the day, it will be time for Winter Curryfest 2005. My friend …

Hey, I’ve Got Yer Meme Right Here, Punk!

TEN THINGS THAT I'VE DONE THAT YOU PROBABLY HAVEN'T Ok, so I didn't put down any of the REALLY wild or illegal shit. So sue me. 1: Have made love on the slope of an erupting volcano 2: Seen a real live Blue Whale from less than 20 feet away 3: Pissed from both the …

The Legendary Scottish Frog Impersonation

I'll explain that in a moment, but first... I read this morning that Hunter S. Thompson killed himself. This actually didn't surprise me, since I always figured he's either commit suicide or be murdered. Still, the world is a little worse for him being gone. Like Johnny Carson, he was one of a kind and …

Geek Weekend Dead Ahead

Hmmm...must be Dundracon time:) Well, I'm staying up a bit later than usual tonight so I can get most of my con preparations done, thus allowing a bit of late sleeping tomorrow before leaving to pick up my friend, Arn, and heading off to the wilds of the East Bay Area. This will be something …

Tha New Big Dawg In The Hood

Is, in fact, a German Shorthaired Pointer. Damn, I love watching the Westmindter Dog Show...even when both Roscoe and I are disappointed that the noble Basset Hound gets passed over yet again. In other news, if yer gonna be at DunDraCon this weekend, look me up. I'll be running my usual 8:00 pm TOOn game …

Bow Wow, Muthafucka!

Well, my sweetie is off at her Monday night class and Roscoe and I are watching the ONLY sporting event that either of us give a rat's ass about... THE WESTMINSTER KENNEL CLUB DOG SHOW!!! If you like dogs, this is the Superbowl of canine competition. There are some very beautiful pooches on the telly …

Sails Are Up, But Prophets Are Down

What I put up here originally was a poll from LiveJournal in 2005. It was pointless now (2020), so I took it down. I'll put something new up at some point.

Santo, The Blue Demon & Roscoe VS The Cat Women From Venus

What can I say, Roscoe is a big fan of Masked Mexican Wrestler Movies. My morning began with a journey to Denio's Farmer's Market and Auction in Roseville, where bought half pound batches of Oolong and Assam tea from the lady who runs the herbal shop there. I've been buying tea, spices and herbs from …

I Left My Spleen In San Francisco

Because spleens are just plain funny! Damn, no posts since Monday...hmmmm...how about an update on Ol' Uncle Doc? EATING: Corn Chex DRINKING: Assam tea with honey WATCHING: Mythbusters (The Buster tribute show) LISTENING TO: Asleep At The Wheel READING: California Gardener's Guide by Bruce and Sharon Asakawa SURFING: http://www.motherearthnews.com/ PLAYING: Runescape PLANNING: To play Mutants …

CSI Toontown

Which is silly, since toons don't die, hence no autopsies. And collecting evidence for ANY crime would be a bitch in such a chaotic place. Well, ok, maybe there could be a drive by Dipping or something, but since The Dip totally dissolves a toon, there's STILL be no autopsy. Unless it was funny. Hmmmm...new …

Never Turn Your Back On A Spanky Goth

Title in part derived from the works of John Kovalic:) Well, boys & girls, Uncle Doc put in the spinach/lettuce bed yesterday and it's a fine lookin' little garden plot. I got it in just in time, since today the weather has gone all overcast and drizzly. The rain is a temporary thing, so sayeth …

The Horticultural Whore Returns…Episode 4: A New Plot

(cue the John Williams score) I haven't been writing much lately about my beloved, yet oft infuriating, garden. That will be changing as winter fades away and spring sproings. Here, then, is the first bit o' garden bloggage for 2005... I laid out my "Spinach & Lettuce" plot today. Unlike last year, this year's crops …

Never Stand On A Rattlesnake’s Head

WHY I CHOSE TO RUN A KINGDOM BUILDING SIM INSTEAD OF AN RPG Well, besides the fact that my gaming group was getting tired of RPGing, I saw it as a way to create a new gaming world without busting my poor GMly ass. I gave them the tools to start a new civilization and …

Cats And Dogs Stage Protest…President Bush Used As Scratching Post/Fire Hydrant

And you know they'd do it, too:) Ok, so I promised a couple of rants. Problem is, after trying to post 3 times last night and being hosed by technology each time, I've run out of rant steam. Here then is one rather rantless rant... By request of Unclelumpy: Where humanity went wrong Simple: We …
