New Tricycle Morphs into Bike on the Go

Man, that thing's funny looking, but would be great for my kids. Or, I like to think it would...but then, they're scared of going fast anyway, so it would end up being nothing more than an expensive funky trike. Sigh.

You go, Burrito Boy!

It's not every day a kid packing 30 inches of steak and guacamole gets the SWAT team called on him. A grown man, sure, but not a kid...

Red Hot Northwestern Montana Action!

Things are hopping in Libby, Montana these days, as you can see by checking out their Eagle Cam. OK, so "hopping" is probably the wrong term...maybe "Nesting". Or "sitting". Hopefully soon "hatching."

Meetings I would have loved to be in

Austrian Houseware Chain Renames Tool Shed

I immagine it went a little something like this:

Fritz: OK, people, we need a name for the new tool shed. It's big, made of wood, and can hold many tools. No bad ideas, people, let's brainstorm here.

Otto: How about "Das Grossen Shed?"

Fritz: OK...

Henrietta: What kind of wood is it? We could call it "Pine Shed"

Otto: Wait, I've got it. I was on vacation last year and we toured this place that had great sheds and showers...what was it called...let's see. Auschwitz? No, that wasn't it...I remember, it was Mauthausen. How about that?

Fritz: Sounds good to me. Henrietta?

Henrietta: Jah!

Fritz: Great work, people. Let's go to the hoffbrauhaus and have ein bier.

Great headline

Microsoft Shows Off A Little More Of Longhorn

As a friend of mine said, "isn't that what got Mary Kay Letourneau in trouble?" Of course, we all know how that worked out, and according to the Post we'll be able to hear all the sordid details thanks to our friends at ET and The Insider tomorrow!

My new pet

Enough with the fish. I'm ordering one of these. I just hope it comes armed with exploding poop!

Maybe I do have to worry about that asteroid...

According to this I'll live until around 2053. Unless I start exercising every day and drop 35 pounds. Then I get to live until 2054. w00t!

Aww, crap.

And I had big plans for 2035 too...stupid deadly asteroids.

Sweet!

Now this is a good use of hardware.

Mmmm...Enormous Omelet Sandwich...

Report: New Burger King breakfast offering outdoes Whopper - Mar. 28, 2005: "'The critics will still label it food porn,' Sherri Daye Scott, editor at fast-food magazine QSR, told the paper. 'But the average male fast-food customer does not have a problem with this.'"

Amen, Sherri Daye Scott, Amen.

Sweet buggy goodness

Why would anyone waste time watching Minority Report or Gladiator tonight when they could be watching Mansquito?

This one takes my breath away

I'm not sure if it's the "wall of bricks" behind him, the shorts, or that grin that does it. But damn. Put some glasses on that guy and he's Milton from Office Space!

Things I wish I could do

Build a Tower of ice. Unfortunately, this winter has been mild to say the least. And my water bill would be, well, insane. Oh well...

My favorite is #14

More about bananas: 50 Reasons banana's are crap

This guy doesn't earn any points for spelling, and I'm not really sure what to make of some of the wording (for example, #22: "People imitate bananas being guns"...I think he means "People pretend bananas are guns" or "People use bananas when they need to pretend something is a gun"). But still, it's something to think about...

Finally!

It's about damn time someone did something about those spotted yellow bastards.

Ah, Iowa...

Nothing like the heartland. Home of family values and naked men arrested for "assault while displaying a dangerous weapon"

Naked Man Threatens Neighbors With Sword:

NORTH LIBERTY, Iowa - A man threatened his neighbors with a sword after they complained about him being naked in his front yard, police said. Curtis D. Rarick, 44, was charged with assault while displaying a dangerous weapon.

Rarick had been naked in his yard and became angry when neighbors asked him to put clothes on Sunday afternoon, police said.

He went inside and came back out with a 2 1/2-feet long sword and began threatening the neighbors, court records show.

He was released from jail Monday after posting $2,000 bond

If convicted, Rarick could face up to two years in jail and a $5,000 fine.

A preliminary hearing is scheduled for March 7.

Mmmm...cheese...

Hard to see how you couldn't plead guilty if you were known as the "Nacho cheese bandit".
