Amy Tagged Me.

TinTin's Pharoah

Although I already post occasionally on AmyOops, she smack-tags me with this.  A “6 Things That Make Me Happy” meme.  Ugh.

I’m inclined to answer all six with various combinations of asparagus and beer, because when combined, they cover all five acceptable senses at once. The sixth one might be troublesome, but I could shout it down fairly easily.

So, I decided to answer the meme honestly. Except for Mrs. Strutts, Bunkessa and Bunkarina, here’s what made me happy today:

1. This.

2. That.

3. The Other.

4. These.

5. Those.

6. Everything here.

I suggest y’all tag yourselves with this meme on the honor system. I’m gonna enjoy my asparagus + diuretic of choice instead.  –Bunk

Listen Loudly.

We’re up to about 17 regular viewers here after thousands of hours of effort, and it’s starting to pay off.  As we drift aimlessly into Our Third Annum of existance, our Crack Team of Webminers suggested another poll.  It’s a very simple yes/no thingy, and it’s free.

CTW thought we might want to venture into the realm of comments, i.e., post nothing of substance, but use the post itself as a comment generator.

We’re gonna ignore the poll for now, but leave your pertinent questions in the comments section and we’ll respond after leaving the toilet seat up and flushing with our feet. Depending on the volume (of questions) we may answer all in one post, or spread them out over the lawn to hose ’em down later.

Too much fun.

Ghost caught on video!
“Booo! Booo! Run for mayor somewhere else! Booo!”
[Found here. Don’t jump to a Beer Summit conclusion, there’s more to the story.]

No video, but the concept is great. Pink Rock Floyd Steady Dub.

Nice cover of the Animals’ 1965 hit by Midnight Oil. But here’s some trivia: The song was written by Barry Mann. (More about him here.)

Oh, yeah.

The Manly Blogger Guy Award

hai-karate_ArchiesArchives 090730

I never turn down awards, even from Archie. He and I don’t see eye-to-eye on basic economics and politics.

I don’t recall exactly, but I think we had a cordial discussion on whether a janitor should be paid the same as the owner of the company that employs the janitor, and  I said no.  Regardless, Archie’s basically a good guy with a cool blog.

Since I don’t wear perfume, I’ll pass on this prized and coveted award to:
Amy Oops
Raincoaster
Nurse Myra
VE
Feng
and Nick.

[Thanks, Arch: All in fun, dude!]

Donald Tyler’s Contribution to the World

squirrel-skinner 2 Patent 7488244

U.S. Patent No. 7,488,244, filed in April, 2007, by Donald Tyler of Cadiz, KY. Abstract:

“An apparatus for skinning a squirrel that is easily manufactured, portable, quick and in which the apparatus can be mounted to a variety of surfaces. The apparatus comprises a base plate connected to toggle clamp in which the toggle clamp is engaged to press two metal tubes tightly together. The base plate is bent at an angle and secured to a stationary object. The tail of the squirrel is placed in the apparatus in between the two metal tubes and the toggle clamp is engaged to secure the tail. The skin is pulled from the uncut skin of the tail thereby removing the skin from the body in two pieces of skin.”

In other words, it’s a toggle clamp. Very cool.

On the other hand, `Mr. Squirrel® looks like a lot more fun.  It comes with TWO attached key rings and a handy braided thong so that The Squirrel Hunter in your family can wear it around his/her neck when not in use. What a deal!
