Humpback Whale Rescue

Posted on by

Not that I want to get all teary eyed and emotional on a beautiful Friday afternoon, but man this is a pretty fun video to watch.  Some folks from a whale conservation group find what they think is a dead whale tangled in fishing nets.  It turns out that it’s alive, and they proceed to try and free it.  Pretty awesome video of the whole thing.  They best part is the absolute puppy-like glee it displays once it’s finally free, showing some pretty acrobatic moves in appreciation of the rescue.  Definitely worth a watch, even if it’s a tad long for work viewing.  Good work done there, not many folks can say they have rescued a whale.

Paula the comment artist

It has been my pleasure to write this blog for you for years.  I enjoy writing silly things, and the only person I really try to make laugh is myself, but if others find some of this stuff fun, all the better.

Since I run the blog, I know when someone writes a comment on a post.  Recently I have been treated to some incredibly funny comments from our good friend Paula.  It seems that Paula suffers from (self-induced?) insomnia while simultaneously being blessed with the ability to write hilarious comments.  It doesn’t pain me in the least (well just a little) to point out that Paula’s comments are way funnier than the original posts themselves.  The problem is that Paula seems to be reading the back catalog of posts, and so while I see the comments, the tragedy is that most people probably wouldn’t because they are attached to posts I wrote years ago.  So, here’s a short (but happily growing) list of Paula’s comments for us all to enjoy.  Paula, please don’t stop.  I think that a feature post written by you would be a really good idea, and if anyone agrees with this idea after reading Paula’s comments, then by all means sound off in the comments here!

Paula tries to make me feel better about going bald.  And generally fails miserably.

Paula tells us a scandalous story about her Mom’s financial infidelity with the Kirby vacuum cleaner salesman.

Paula has a run-in with the authorities.  The library cops finally catch up to her on a literary crime spree.

Crush Luther Living Room Sessions

Posted on by

Completely forgot to pimp this beforehand on the blog (mostly because I am still unemployed, and don’t get to sit at a computer all day as much), but we had Crush Luther play at our house on Saturday, and it was freaking amazing.  We had a pretty good turn out, and I think everyone had a stupendous time.  A living room (well, dining room in our case) setting is an absolutely awesome way to experience Crush Luther.  The vibe was relaxed, fun, and unintentionally hilarious when Lloyd realized that we applauded at the end of every song, it was a perfect time to wander in and gob on the band.  I think he might have accidentally interrupted at least the first two songs until he figured out we all weren’t going to tolerate that.  Luther in particular was pretty cool about the whole thing, since he took the most, ah, saliva.

Anyway, there were some Facebook videos and pics taken and posted as the night went on, but thankfully we had Mr. Wilson there to show us how it’s all done.  I strongly suggest you head on over and check out the rest of these fine pics, and tell him I sent ya.
