If you give a squirrel a coconut…

I saw this in an RSS feed and thought that it might be fun to get a couple of reduced coconuts from the market and drill some holes in the bottom and then some eye-bolts in the top and hang them from a tree or a feeder…I bet this would happen.

Lots of Snow

In honor of the “Lots of Snow” we have been getting…I present, for your viewing pleasure, Dark Roasted Blends post on ‘Lots of Snow‘.  Well work the click.  Enjoy.

If you’ve been snowed under for some time, these pictures will help you feel better

“Have you entered the storehouses of the snow?…” (Job, 38:22) Some translations put it as “the treasures of the snow”. Well, it seems some locations get entirely too much of this good thing:

Snowed under in the most epic way (somewhere in Switzerland):

…may you stay warm and may your snow shoveler not break.

I remember when the whales had wings, she said. Whatever happened? I said. It got to be too noisy with all the airplanes & other stuff, so they flew into the ocean & never came back. Some days, she added, I think about going too.

My entry to win the “Yanko Claus” Yamaha Speaker Dock

I never enter contests.  Because I never win.  It’ s a viscous cycle; don’t win, so I never enter, thus reducing my chances of winning.

But today my beloved RSS feed informed me of a Yamaha PDX-60BL portable player speaker dock that was being given away by the fine fellow at Yanko Design. The joy and spirit of giving!  Huzzah, huzzah.

I wanted it.  I covet it.  I formulated an entry for the contest.

The rule stated that one should add a comment citing a reason why they should receive this speaker dock.  The responses were predictable:

  • I just bought a house and can’t afford anything else.
  • I only have my poor, poor ear-buds that came with my $400 iPod Touch or iPhone and I need speakers to add to sustain my luxurious standards.
  • I live in Ireland and I can only listen to music from the sheep.

So I formulated my entry:

I need the Yamaha PDX-60BL speaker dock because of the distortion in the fabric of time and space caused by the Large Hadron Collider being turned back on.

This particle accelerator was created to observe the “Higgs Boson” particle (also known as the “God particle”). Some have theorized that the problems with the LHC (it broke the week after it was initially turned on) have been due to time-traveling scientists, responsible for creating the LHC, who have come back to disable their project because of the destruction and peril it creates.

My personal theory is that they are doing this to prevent a zombie apocalypse.

A few months back, they wanted to turn it on again, but were foiled by “a piece of crusty bread” which was dropped by a bird. Now, referring to the “Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy” which tells us that giant ships could be fueled by improbability drives, I propose that this bird, carrying this “bit of crusty bread” decided at this moment, not to *eat* the crusty bread, but to drop it…now, in such a spot to disable the Large Hadron Collider, had traveled back in time and space and was originally carrying a Yamaha PDX-60BL Speaker Dock and it was originally intended to be dropped at my house.

So…please, for the sake of all mankind (and bird-kind), correct this great cosmic wrong, and prevent the zombie apocalypse, by making sure the Yamaha PDX-60BL Speaker Dock arrives in the place that the universe has designed for it. The Darrington Tiny-House-of-Chaos!!!

It’s all about pinpin’ the LHC.  The HOC for the LHC.  Heeeeyyyy!  Hoooo!  Fer’shizzle!  Indeed.  Keep your fingers crossed that the Tiny House-of-Chaos will be bumpin’ the large sounds from the Yamaha speaker dock courtesy of  Yanko Claus.Reply
