Stewie, motivation, chocolate, breakdowns, and PULP FICTION in 30 seconds

Called my sister earlier: she says she and Jon have to help Eric lead worship, and for once I'm amenable to going in early (pickup at 9:05 or thereabouts?) since Steph still has a bunch of cards to sign. It'll be a long day, but my plans are mapped out... at least, I hope so! I just pray that they won't have to go in with my dad... no chance for Steph to sign cards then if that happens! I'll call 'em tomorrow morning to see what's up, heh. Maybe I can get some sleep now since I didn't earlier! Something tells me that it won't work like that... which is BAD for me. :P

Doing a quick check of blogs right now since I didn't have time to do so earlier: Jen says she updated her blog, but I can't get in to access it. Eh, I'll ask her about it tomorrow at some point. Dawn has a picture of a cute birthday cake with Stewie from FAMILY GUY on it / her and a friend's dog, plus some more musings about teaching people who don't really want to speak to you. Dave is sapped of any motivation, and just wants a change in scenery. Steph is NOT impressed with this year's Canucks slogan: "We are all Canucks" carries the impression that they're calling everyone else losers... eugh!

Vivian has stuff about salmonella and a Hershey's chocolate recall - she's glad it wasn't Lindt! She has stress from all those assignments due by December 1, plus her injured mom and others around the house who seemingly won't do anything to help. Yay for slicing your finger with plate breakage at 9 PM while TRYING to cook something, and tears! (NOT) There are pictures of FRENCH VANILLA CAPPUCCINO, plus unrelated musings about water and how she enjoyed the AGM last night. It's true she deals with stuff in different ways than others might, but then she wouldn't be the somewhat cynical cheerfulness that we all love! Spoz has funny poop analogies for a roadtrip in Adelaide / Melbourne and other places. Hahaha, always good times reading stuff. :D


Today's Naked Yet Truly Morbid Fact!

Early in the day on August 30, 2004 a man was seen playing with a brown, pit bull-boxer mix near an elementary school in Albuquerque, New Mexico. About 1:20 PM, police were called to the scene when workers from a mowing service found the man unconscious, naked and bleeding on a yard near the school. He was missing his genitals, which had apparently been bitten off by the dog. "The lawn crew hit the dog with a pipe, causing it to yelp and run away," Detective Jeff Arbogast said. "When police arrived, the man woke up and started running away from the officers. They had to take him into custody so he could get treatment." Arbogast added he had no idea why the man was naked or why the dog bit him, but added, "I think there's a little more to this whole thing than we know."

Sounds to me like the guy got what he deserved!! He won't be raping any more dogs! Of course, the article went on to say that they were looking for the "dangerous dog." I hope they never found her...

Follow-Up Du Jour!

The other day, I featured some photographs that were purported to be of an individual who put an M100 rocket into his mouth and lit the fuse, with devastating results.

Picture 2
Picture 3
Picture 4

Evonne is not so sure:

"While very well done, they are indeed FAKE! I say this from my armchair forensic learning. There is no blood on the man's shirt, and there should be. The positioning of the blood is wrong. It shouldn't be underneath him like that. No scorch marks, just tissue. However, that IS some GREAT make-up effects."

I don't know... they still look pretty real to me. Does anyone have any definitive proof?

Morbid Link Du Jour!

B sent me a link to an article in Outside magazine about "an Australian diver named Dave Shaw [who] finds a dead body at the bottom of one of the deepest diving holes in the world. He can't bring the body up right away, but he knows it is the body of another (20 year-old) diver who went missing about 10 years before, and he tells the parents of the deceased that he will go back down there and retrieve the body. He does just that, and it's interesting seeing how the whole story plays out."

The article is, indeed, an excellent read - well worth the 11 pages in length.
