Big Ugly Man Doll

Ah, once again and late as usual, although I’d love to make an excuse about how busy I was on Sunday.   I was in, ah, church, yeah, that’s it, I was at a church where there was no Internet connection, and…  

Not buying it?  Me either.  Who the hell would go to a church with no internet connection?  

Anyway, the TSoW is brought to us by the talented Wendy McClure, who has done the world the favor of resurrecting, if not the dead, then the “should have been dead a long time now but it’s just too funny to bury.”  You know, like watching your mother trying to get into a Lyrca gym suit – you wish you could repress the memory, but you keep replaying it in your head because it was just too damn funny.  Anyway, put down your food and drink and check out http://www.candyboots.com/wwcards.html.  If you remember any of these, you’re probably as old as I am.  If you’ve ever cooked any of these, you’re probably dead by now.  

Man, I should pray after reading those.  Where’s my T1 connection to the Shamayim subnet?

CNN reports (http://www.cnn.com/2008/WORLD/europe/07/04/slovenia.canoe.ap/index.html) that 8 people have secured Darwin Award nominations by trying to canoe over a dam that was operational but still partially under construction over the river Sava, in Slovenia. 

A government official there denied speculation that the dam could have been better secured, saying that those in the canoes had clear security instructions. “Some of them did not respect (the rules) and decided to take a dangerous descent,” he said, calling the accident the “consequence of a wrong human decision.”

You say wrong human decision, the Big Ugly Man Doll says “Darwin Award.”   Still, getting sucked into the underwater tunnel leading to the generator turbines has to, well, suck.  Note to self:  If anyone suggests calling your next outing “The Final Descent” – think twice.  Or at least once.

This week’s TSoW was brought to my attention by my very own SOBUMD – the cloud cast from Albuquerque
http://www.abqcloudcast.com/index.php?gotodate=20061013.  It’s cool even when it’s not balloon festival day! 

We could watch this all day.  I don’t know why, really.  But, you know.  Time Suck!!!

I don’t usually go in for memes, but this offers a wee bit of fun… I got this from purplelover13

Rules: Post 3 things you’ve done that you believe nobody else on your F-list has done. Indulge in remorse if someone calls you out on a listed item.

So, have you done these?

1. Engaged in an impromptu live-blade sword fight on the top deck of the Dover-to-Calais ferry, while leaning into 40 mph winds whipping over the English Channel.
2. Leaned down and looked at the 7-story drop while standing on the roof of the headquarters of the US Department of State, Washington DC.
3. Spent about an hour walking through the streets of a major European city (I think it was Munich) in my underwear, with a Chiquita banana sticking out of my fly.

No? Share what you have done that no one around has. Go ahead, we’re listening. ;-)
