| Amazing story... |
| 01.29.08 (7:06 pm) [edit] |
|
Simply amazing, unbelievable.. . . .
Sometimes these 'heartwarming' stories are a bit too sappy for me but this one is truly surprising...
In 1986, Mikele Mebembe was on holiday in Kenya after graduating from Northwestern University . On a hike through the bush, he came across a young bull elephant standing with one leg raised in the air. The elephant seemed distressed, so Mikele approached it very carefully.
He got down on one knee and inspected the elephant's foot and found a large piece of wood deeply embedded in it. As carefully and as gently as he could, Mikele worked the wood out with his hunting knife, after which the elephant gingerly put down its foot. The elephant turned to face the man, and with a rather curious look on its face, stared at him for several tense moments. Mikele stood frozen, thinking of nothing else but being trampled. Eventually the elephant trumpeted loudly, turned, and walked away. Mikele never forgot that elephant or the events of that day.
Twenty years later, Mikele was walking through the Chicago Zoo with his teenaged son. As they approached the elephant enclosure, one of the creatures turned and walked over to near where Mikele and his son Tapu were standing. The large bull elephant stared at Mikele, lifted its front foot off the ground, then put it down. The elephant did that several times then trumpeted loudly, all the while staring at the man.
Remembering the encounter in 1986, Mikele couldn't help wondering if this was the same elephant. Mikele summoned up his courage, climbed over the railing and made his way into the enclosure. He walked right up to the elephant and stared back in wonder. The elephant trumpeted again, wrapped its trunk around one of Mikele's legs and slammed him against the railing, killing him instantly.
Probably wasn't the same elephant.

| (Blonde Guy Joke) - "Trouble on the Job" |

TROUBLE ON
THE JOB
(BLONDE GUY JOKE) 
An Irishman, a Mexican and a Blonde Guy were doing construction work on
scaffolding on the 20th floor of a building. As our trio were eating lunch, the Irishman said, "Corned beef and cabbage! 
If I get corned beef and cabbage one more time for lunch, I'm going to
jump off this building." The Mexican opened his lunch box and exclaimed, "Burritos again! If I
get burritos one more time I'm going to jump off, too." 
The blonde opened his lunch and said, Bologna again! If I get a bologna
sandwich one more time, I'm jumping too." 
The next day, the Irishman opened his lunch box, saw corned beef and
cabbage and jumped to his death.
The Mexican opened his lunch, saw a burrito, and jumped, too. 
The blonde guy opened his lunch, saw the bologna and jumped to his death
as well. 
At the funeral, the Irishman's wife was weeping. She said, "If I'd known how really tired he was of corned beef and
cabbage, I never would have given it to him again!" The Mexican's wife also wept and said, "I could have given him tacos or
enchiladas! I didn't realize he hated burritos so much." Everyone turned and stared at the blonde's wife.
The blonde's wife said, "Don't look at me. He makes his own lunch.

 Fragile
If blood will flow when fresh and steel are one
Drying in the colour of the evening sun
Tomorrow’s rain will wash the stains away
But something in our minds will always stay
Perhaps this final act was meant To clinch a lifetime’s argument
That nothing comes from violence and nothing ever could
For all those born beneath an angry star Lest we forget how fragile we are On and on the rain will fall
Like tears from a star like tears from a star
On and on the rain will say
How fragile we are how fragile we are On and on the rain will fall
Like tears from a star like tears from a star
On and on the rain will say
How fragile we are how fragile we are
How fragile we are how fragile we are Fragile

Been a.w.a.l. for a bit - I get migraines and I got a doozy, (make that TWO), just last week! ARRR!
Blimey! - Just when ye think the first one is finally over - another one hits!
I usually always know exactly what brings them on, and this time was no exception...
I've been doing like most, after the new year starts, - Out with the old and in with the new.
I be a certified pack-rat, but I'm tired of looking at the junk - soooo - I got me some new bins for organizing,
and swabbed the ol' "poop deck" (in this case - the art/computer room). Now mind ye, I hadn't been sleepin' well either, ( up til 3am lots of nights), - and this par-ticular night I was up til 5am. ( too siked about gettng everything in order), - well, needless to say, I payed the price fer it the next two days! (Arrrrrrrrrrrr!)
Thankfully I do have medicine fer what ailed me - and now I be back in the swing of things - so to speak.
So...BACK TO WORK YE SCURRVEY DOGS!!!!!!!!!!!! - OR IT BE THE PlANK FOR YE!!!!!!!!!!
( there - that sounded threatening and Piratey, didn't it?)

| Highway Rabbit ... |
| 01.14.08 (1:47 pm) [edit] |
|
A man is driving along a highway and sees a rabbit
jump out across the middle of the road. He swerves to avoid hitting it, but unfortunately,
the little rabbit jumps right in front of the car.
The driver,a sensitive man as well as an
animal lover, pulls over and gets out to see what has
become of the rabbit. Much to his dismay,
the rabbit is dead. The driver feels so awful
that he begins to cry.
A beautiful blonde woman driving down the highway
sees the man crying on the side of a road and
pulls over. She steps out of the car and asks
him what's wrong.
"I feel terrible," he explains, "I accidentally
hit this rabbit and killed it."
The blonde says, "Don't worry."
She runs to her car and pulls out a spray can.
She walks over to the limp, dead rabbit, bends
down, and sprays the contents onto the rabbit.
The rabbit jumps up, waves its paw at the two of
them and hops off down the road. Ten feet away
the rabbit stops, turns around and waves again,
he hops down the road another 10 feet, turns and
waves, hops another ten feet, turns and waves,
and repeats this again and again and again,
until he hops out of sight.
The man is astonished. He runs over to the
woman and demands,
"What is in that can? What did you spray on that
rabbit?"
The woman turns the can around so the man can
read the label. It says:
(Are you ready for this?)
(Are you sure?)
(This is bad!)
(You know you could just click off and not
read the punch line.)
(You know you're gonna be sorry..)
(Last chance.)
(OK, here it is.)
 And the real Moral of the story is:
The Rabbit Always Wins!!!!!

| "Yo Ho (A Pirate's Life For Me)" |
| 01.04.08 (10:34 pm) [edit] |
 "Yo Ho (A Pirate's Life For Me)" Song Lyrics
Lyrics by Xavier Atencio and music by George Bruns Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me.
We pillage, we plunder, we rifle, and loot,
Drink up, me 'earties, yo ho.
We kidnap and ravage and don't give a hoot,
Drink up me 'earties, yo ho. Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me.
We extort, we pilfer, we filch, and sack,
Drink up, me 'earties, yo ho.
Maraud and embezzle, and even high-jack,
Drink up, me 'earties, yo ho. Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me.
We kindle and char, inflame and ignite,
Drink up me 'earties, yo ho.
We burn up the city, we're really a fright,
Drink up, me 'earties, yo ho. We're rascals, scoundrels, villians, and knaves,
Drink up, me 'earties, yo ho.
We're devils and black sheep, really bad eggs,
Drink up, me 'earties, yo ho. Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me.
We're beggars and blighters, ne'er-do-well cads,
Drink up, me 'earties, yo ho.
Aye, but we're loved by our mommies and dads,
Drink up me 'earties, yo ho.

~Hoist The Colors~
Yo, ho, haul together,

Heave ho,

never shall we die. The king and his men
stole the queen from her bed
and bound her in her Bones.
The seas be ours
and by the powers
where we will we'll roam. Yo, ho, haul together,
hoist the colors high.
Heave ho, thieves and beggars,
never shall we die. Some men have died
and some are alive
and others sail on the sea
– with the keys to the cage...
and the Devil to pay
we lay to Fiddler's Green! The bell has been raised
from it's watery grave...
Do you hear it's sepulchral tone?
We are a call to all,
pay head the squall
and turn your sail toward home! Yo, ho, haul together,
hoist the colors high.
Heave ho, thieves and beggars,
never shall we die. | | |

NEW PIRATE MOVIE!
As brought to you by, Veggie Tales

"The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything: A Veggie Tales Movie" opens in modern day suburbia at the local pirate themed restaurant, where derring-do and turkey legs go hand-in-hand five nights a week. But not for Sedgewick, Elliot and George (Mr. Lunt, Larry the Cucumber and Pa Grape). While they love all things piratical and dream of taking the stage in the big show, Elliot's timidity, Sedgewick's laziness and George's lack of self-confidence relegate them to busing tables and refilling drinks. When they finally do get up the courage to audition, the three would-be swashbucklers manage only to destroy half the stage set. Out of luck and out of work, they stand dejectedly outside the restaurant as a strange, ancient-looking metal ball lands at their feet. It is a "Helpseeker," sent from another time and place in search of heroes. After scanning the three moping misfits, it sets in motion events that will send them back to the 17th century to face real pirates in a real pirate adventure, and in the process challenge everything they believe about themselves.

~ The Pirates who don't do anything - Theme song ~
& nbsp; *EVERY-BODY SING!* Arr, arr, arr, arr
We are the pirates who don’t do anything
We just stay at home and lie around
And if you ask us to do anything
We'll just tell you we don’t do anything
Well I’ve never been to Greenland
And I've never been to Denver
And I’ve never buried treasure in St. Louie or St. Paul
And I’ve never been to Moscow
And I’ve never been to Tampa
And I’ve never been to Boston in the fall
We're the pirates who don’t do anything
We just stay at home and lie around
And if you ask us to do anything
We'll just tell you we don’t do anything
And I’ve never hoist the main sail
And I’ve never swabbed the poop deck
And I’ve never veer to starboard
'Cause I never sail at all
And I’ve never walked the gangplank
And I’ve never owned a parrot
And I’ve never been to Boston in the fall
'Cause we're the pirates who don’t do anything
We just stay at home and lie around
And if you ask us to do anything
We'll just tell you we don’t do anything
Well I've never plucked a rooster
And I'm not too good at ping ball
And I’ve never thrown my mashed potatoes
Up against the wall
And I’ve never kissed a chipmunk
And I’ve never gotten head lice
And I’ve never been to Boston in the fall.
(spoken)
Huh? What are you talking about?
Whats a rooster and mashed potatoes have to do with being a pirate?
Hey, thats right!
We are supposed to sing about pirate-y things.
And who's ever kissed a chipmunk?
That's just nonsense! Why even bring it up?
Am I right? What do you think?
I think you look like Captain Crunch.
Huh? No I don't!
Do too.
Do not!
You're making me hungry.
Thats it! You're walkin' the plank.
Says who?
Says the Cap'n, thats who!
Oh yeah? Ay Ay, Cap'n Crunch! hehehehe
Arrrgggghh
Yikes!
And I’ve never licked a spark plug
And I’ve never sniffed a stinkbug
And I’ve never painted daises
On a big red rubber ball
And I’ve never bathed in yogurt
And I don’t look good in leggings
(You just don't get it.)
And we’ve never been to Boston in the fall!
(spoken)
Pass the chips!
Who's got the remote control? Here it is!
Time for Heraldo.
It's definately time for Loch Nech.
Ohh.. I don't like this show.
Hey look! I found a quarter!
