Rhaphidophoridae… Camel Crickets! What!  

Found a crazy looking bug in our basement today. It was a scary looking thing that can apparently jump several feet. Take a look at the pictures, they are so cool! Here’s more info you like this kind of stuff: Rhaphidophoridae. Whenever I come across a weird bug I always think to post it at BugGuide.net like my post which has the full size images: Beetle / Grasshopper looking bug! Never seen one before!. Enjoy the pictures… I hope!

Picture Raid!  

Well, here are some pictures I have been meaning to post for some time. They do not appear in any particular order, just the way Wordpress decided to order them. It is a pretty good mix of photos.

Lengends of Mythos and Fantasy Wonderment  

    Oderus Urungus and Beefcake are soOOooo funny!

    Last night I had a dream that Rach said,”Let’s go to Munich for our Anniversary.” Then we were there. We were in this Costal city that I always go to in my dreams. There is this awesome parking ramp right over the water but a lot of times it gets flooded and you cannot get your car out. I learned long ago not to park there. It was fun because I knew where we were going until we decided to go somewhere further then I have ever gone. We got lost but eventually found our way back.

    Watched Vikings vs. Packers… sort of. Mainly I watched Joan Rivers, Jerry Springer, Fox News and MTV News (from the 90’s) excerpts. Quite fun!

    Also, Opera X is out but I really miss Opera IX. Teensie growl. Just found out that Opera (browser) has implemented in-line spell checking! OPERA ROCKS-AH!

    My next post shall contain some photos-ah!

Concurrent Versions of the Brain  

    First Walleye in my HANDS! Ate them. My first one was 10 inches long… I snagged it! Ooops! That’s illegal! DNR man not happy.
    Bigger fish yield well. Walleye look like little sea monsters who want to desicrate your throat. They have the teensiest of fangs and eyes but no eye sockets! Yocka bo-zocka! They are almost big enough to cuddle but that would be like trying to cuddle a big bar of Sandle-wood soap. They are slippy dippy.

    At work last weekend I got a call to help a customer at the customer service desk (the “boat house”). It was very bothering because I was trying to get work done so I could get some things listed on eBay and GunBroker. When I got out to the boat house, no one was there. Then I heard someone say my name in an A.D.H.D. sort of way. It was my uncle! The last time I saw him was… way to long ago. It was great because I had been thinking of him for quite some time. His father-in-law was with him. He invited me to go fishing with him. We went… and his father-in-law, a pretty old dark horse type, had chart-plotter (GPS for boats) units all over the place on his fishing boat. He had an Aqua-Vu (under water camera system) and high tech depth/fish finder. It was very cool to see. After that experience I found out how worthless fishfinders are. The chart-plotter came in handy though. You can see the structure of the lake and find your way back in the dark! It was an experience.
    It turned out to be a great night. The moon was out and the stars are amazing up here. You can see the haze of the Milky Way like a haze of fog drifting in the air. Plus I experienced an awesome time fishing with my uncle. I told him to come up for ice fishing this winter. He sounded excited about it. Hopefully he will be able to and I will get to write about another memorable experience with him.

Snag

To hook a fish externally that has not tried to bite on your lure/bait.

    Rach is not home tonight so I make fish and wild rice food for me. She no like wild rice. Music for tonight is George Harrison….. what… I think the song that just started has a mantre in it because I think there was a lyric in there about Herr Krushna… hmmm. Pretty sure he’s at least singing about the Herr Krushna. This dude rocks some dackle saddle crops. Vinyl is good sound. Mars Volta sounds great on vinyl toozies.

––––––––––––––––––§  Time Lapse  §––––––––––––––––––

    Just through in a Jefferson Airplane album. Tonight I decided to listen to some old records I picked up when I was experimenting with music. Just listened to a little Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young but wasn’t in the mood. I used to listen to them a lot when I was nineteen. Jefferson Airplane is sleep enducingly boring but good for background noise.

Notes to self for future wonderment:

• Words stuck in my head for years:
  • Karate Chop Massacre (From that night of long jambles and cackle blathers to Shannon and David)
  • Screemin’ Urithras (Dave Anderson.. thanks. It is a funny image in the head)
  • Poop Horse (One day it pooped popped into my head)
  • Watch out for Slim Pete! (Mulch beneath the feet in Avon at Blue Grass Festival. Chubby boy exits bus.)
  • Bogdoxy (Ry Wilks… thanks, James-ah Joyce-ah rock-sah!)
• A rodent in the wall makes your wife want to bawl.
• Missesseses Robinson-ah! Woah, woah, woah… you just put in Simon and Garfungckle (Thank Rach… wouldn’t have experienced, if it weren’t for you)
• Joe Demajio – did you play baseball?
• Percy was a scavanger little lich when he turned up in the gutter but we love him today. He thinks I saved him because I slept with him when he was a kitten and he cried and almost cut open my eye-lid. I guess I didn’t really sleep. Rachel also saved him. I thought he might have rabbies and said we should leave him in the gutter. How could I!? (¡Gracias RaeRav!)
• Jeff Abbott where are you and your wife. Maybe I will be that guy on your couch that you make breakfast for. You won’t recognize me because I will have a beard. Don’t worry that will be okay then. Remember when we watched the lunar eclipse. Beautiful!
• Pink Floyd, driving the overnight, watching her sleep. First time I saw a Beautiful girl! Haven’t stopped since then.
• Get yourself a ribon for your Smith-Corona.
  • Remember where you found that?! At the Palisades sitting in the lobby of the 550. Rock! Got a free Smith-Corona.
• Float. Fly. Liquid air. Breath under water. Phantasm.
• Remember when your body got warm. Feels like you could lie on needles and be comfortable? The climbing vines with blooming and de-blooming flowers. The amazement and wonder at seeing the earthquake christmas lights.
• Neu Ulm. Mein Frau und Mich das Radio spielte. Deutsch essen war gut.

Big Foot Sightings!  

    Over the years I have come accross many people who believe Sasquatch exists as much as they believe the Earth exists. I work with one. He gets super excited when the subject comes up, usually speaking with a higher pitched voice, bright, wide eyes and an alert standing position. A few days ago, some people he knows sent him an email with a photo from a trial camera attached. A trail camera is a camera with a built-in motion sensor. When something moves it takes a photo. The photo was an extremely close shot of an unidentifiable hairy creature. The hair is too long to be that of a bear and the camera is situated about 5½ feet off the ground.

    After the escapade with the estatic young Sasquatch enthusiast, I asked my co-worker, Todd, if he believed in Big Foot. He responded, a little closed mouthed, that he wasn’t sure. The next day I asked another co-worker if he saw the pics. He then told me that Todd had seen Big Foot with his very eyes! Todd is not a drinker, drug user or terribly dramatic guy. He is a very logical guy. Hearing that he believes and a saw Big Foot makes me almost believe in Big Foot.

    There has never been any doubt in my mind that Sasquatch could exist. There is an account of a forest ranger that I always think of when Sasquatch comes up. This forest ranger worked on an island. He never saw a wolf on this island. After about fifteen years of working on this island, one day he saw encoutered a pack of wolves! Amazing!

    Apparently, Sasquatch is similar to wolves in that he is timid and keeps away from humans. This is what Sasquatch enthusiasts say. Take a look at the picture below… what do you think?

Craigs for Bem  

    The past few days I have been listening to The Blood Brothers. They give me spider fingers and beaver tail tongue… They are amazing.

Note: See the pictures at the bottom when you are done reading. They go along with this post. Pictures in my posts will soon be common. It is much more fun. Zugggggggaaaah.

    Craigslist has pushed in the the far stretches of Earth and added a section for Bemidji, Minnesota. There is also a Brainerd, Minnesota section which may have just appeared as well. Since there aren’t many postings in Bemidji yet I decided to add a posting in the “Free” section. Apparently it goes against the Craigslist guidelines so it was flagged and taken down. Only one person had a chance to responde to my posting for a free glass of water. He was interested but wasn’t sure about the item when he emailed me saying: “I can’t tell from the picture but is that glass half full or half empty?”.

    Abe contacted me the other day… wish I could join him. September, 11^th really takes the fun out of things though… all I picture happening are people having a great time, just being gloomy the whole time or being raided by the F.B.I (^{J. Edgar Hoover}). Either way it will certainly be fun… its going to be held at residence of Abe, Alex… and the rest of them. Wish I was there. 9-11 baby!

    Recently, went on a long drive. Stopped in a little town and saw that some kid was looking for work. Resisted the urge to call the number. Would have felt bad.

    Tonight, on the Super One bulletin board, I saw a flyer for a walk to prevent suicide… sounds like a lazy way to prevent suicide. It made me wonder how many people who drive electric wheel chairs join this walk.

    Its starting to change colors a tiny, tiny bit here. Mushrooms are popping up and I wish I had a book to tell me if I will enjoy eating them or die a horrible vomiting death. Mushrooms and Sardines are on my tongue lately. There must be some way of making those tastes converge into an Earth shatering taste craft.

    B ƒ L… Rach and I finally got to spend a day together. We walked around town and visited this amazing! rock garden a block away from our house. There is a stream and rocks and flowers! It is great. It was so nice to spend time together and relax for once. It makes me sort of happy that winter is nearing. My job will be less hours and we will be together in the house staying warm together.

Scalding Hydrocephalus and Other Membrainzah  

    Sinking chins and finny things. Actually… my friend, Actually, is a funny gunzopo. Tan Dog and the Tam Cat come to visit us soon with sail-boat in queue as well as other sea fairing vesels. Dreams of nubs in place of apendage lanks are very good. Discomfortable conversation and atmosphation are always right up my alley… if its not there a wrench in someones’ brains are always something that will get us there.

    Dreamed last night I was stuck in the mall… the mall that always is in my brain. Things I destroy or build are always that way next time I visit. Sometimes others who must visit my dreams while I am not there destroy them! Who are you! If you keep spray painting my favorite store I will catch you and jail you in my least favorite store! It sucks there!

Good night.

Convention Mania  

    At the convention we got a new DVD, all about creation, and found out we are getting a new song book! It is nice to be the last convention of the year because none of us will have to hold back from telling about the new releases or anything!

    There were so many great points, simple ones but enormous at the same time, about keeping your mind focused on signs that will make us aware unseen things going on. It was amazing to have a convention like this. It was amazing! The drama was also great. Everything was so realistic. All of the things David’s so called friends were doing and saying to him were things people did and said to me… except for crashing a car because of drunk driving. I never crashed a car when I was under the influence of anything but fun.

    Also, I have been thinking for some time about quiting my job and doing web-design or web-development work. If anyone knows of someone who does this type of work who is looking for someone that could work from home let me know. I know it is rare but if I could do a little work like that and make enough money it would be great.

    What would this post be without pictures!?

Zronpux… add it to your Vocabulary  

    A-von, a friend of Rachel’s and mine invented a new word. It is probably one of the best words I have ever heard of. She deligated to me the job of creating the definition.

Zronpux [zrawn-puhks, zron-puhks]

-noun

The negative effects of electronic visual stimulation and/or too much space travel

Use: After arriving home from Pico 7 the boy watched his favorite television show then, later, slaughtered his family. Doctors said it was due to Zronpux.

-adjective

An ill minded feeling that results from electronic visual stimulation and/or too much space travel.

Use: After a long day of online schooling in the Zethron Sector of Bremtha 9, the girl complained of feeling Zronpux so her parents proceeded with a thorough course of lobotomies.

    Norra, Adnaram and Yme have left. It was great having them around. Yme is so fun to have around. It is nice to see a little, cute, soft baby. Norra made some awesome ribs and he caught the biggest Sunnies. It is a shame I cannot send them to him. It is possible that I will attemp Sushi with one fillet. If it is success I will re-attempt it when we visit them next.

    Rach and I cannot wait to visit them at their place. Norra told me he was going to give his neighbors money to do something crazy so our visit will out-do the last, when the neighbors rolled their truck in the middle of the road and tornadoes disturbed our sleep. Shooting the gun Norra found in his attic will surely make it a memorable experience. You bring the gun, I’ll bring the ammo. Just tell me the type of gun.

    After typing a little and looking at this computer screen I am feeling a little zronpux. Before I become anymore zronpux I should turn off my computer and chop off my hands.

Koozå Suprizå  

    Rach and I came to the cities for a trip out of town. Just for the heck of it. On the way in we saw that Cirque du Soleil was set up in town. We passed it. After having a drink with Ryan and Mel we went for a walk. Eventually we came up on the tents of the circus. Rachel jokingly said we should go in. Since I have always wanted to go to a Cirque du Soleil show I was a little saddened that we could not go. Then Rachel said,”We HAVE TICKETS!”

    I was so outraged that she had lied to me about the reason we were going to the cities I told her I wasn’t going and I told her to go in alone! Just kidding.

    It was amazing. We saw KOOZÅ. It was a story about a little kid who is delivered a box which contains a person/being who shows him all these great things. Eventually the kid flies his kite. It was phantasmigorical.

    After that we went to an awesome Sushi place called Sakura. Never have I eaten so much Sushi! I could not eat anymore and the Saki was so good but I was so full I could fit anymore in me.

    Right now there is this old African woman looking at me. She is very irate with her 5 year old grandson (assuming it is her grandson) because he is on cocaine or something and will not stop chattering and scrapping around in his giant cart. It is awesome because whatever language they are speaking I cannot understand. Since I am at the Mall of America this is really making my day. She just stood up and hit him… Now he is laughing at someone who is not there. I don’t think she likes that I am laughing at him. This weekend rocks!
