Kangaroo Lake
We had a really fun time up in Door County this weekend. Check, check Teh Flickr for some great pics from Peninsula State Park and Kangaroo Lake.
There was a lot of wine, booze, and food had by all, and we had to work it off eventually– my personal favorite was the two hour bike ride through Peninsula in the rain and cold. Mercifully, at the the end of the ride we climbed to the top of Eagle Tower. Long story short: ride uphill seven miles, then climb a giant tower. Fun…
It looks like the Bay Bridge fell apart yesterday– wow, great repair job fellas. I can only assume mass chaos in the Yay Area today so good luck on everyone’s commute!
Not much else to report. Er, what’re y’all dressing as for Halloween?
oh man michael ian black had a gem on twitter the other day…. he’s got a new slogan for Cheerios… “Cheerios: the cereal Smurf’s can fuck.”
Sorry he actually said the “breakfast food Smurfs can …” maybe slightly funnier?
I like the real version better. Breakfast food is funnier than cereal.
it brings up the issue of whether or not he is implying that cheerios or any other cereal can only be eaten for breakfast, of who is he to make or pass on such claims? a man of power?! DOUBT IT! HAHA SMURF, I REMEMBER WHAT SMURFS ARE!!!!! ….. FUCK!!#%(&*^!(*#%^ CLASSIC(*!@#%&
Did I tell you that we saw dude and showalter live in Milwaukee with arlo a few weeks back? I can’t even remember now. Good show, I like it when the michael’s fight.
beef: murder you can eat
sabitha: the teenage pitcher witch
relatively, a smurf fucking a single cheerio o would be like a human fucking a bagel.
it doesn’t work like that.
clever distraction with the breakfast food assertion, but in the end all you have is a man with an “ITS A HOLE! FUCK IT! ANY HOLE! FUCK! HOLE=>FUCK! SMALL=>SMURF”
and, granted, that is hilarious. pretty gay though. and way to backhandedly bring up bagels… like jewish culture needs more captious focus in the medias.
bagels: do jews fuck them?
i’ve probably had lucky charms for dinner more times than i’ve had them for breakfast. them. the charms. they are each special to me.
Don’t know about jews, but I bet Arlo does.
which came first: the bagel, or the idea of fuckable food?
what did the FedEx guy say to the lady he just murdered? now you’re my DeadEx.
was that 140 characters or less? i wish i could be a funny michael.

“Things You Stick Your Dick In” for $200, Alex
This Be The Verse – Philip Larkin
They fuck you up, your mum and dad.
They may not mean to, but they do.
They fill you with the faults they had
And add some extra, just for you.
But they were fucked up in their turn
By fools in old-style hats and coats,
Who half the time were soppy-stern
And half at one another’s throats.
Man hands on misery to man.
It deepens like a coastal shelf.
Get out as early as you can,
And don’t have kids yourself.
how much do coastal shelves deepen? at all?
Guess what: I don’t feel good at all
oh no! h1n1! h1n1! h1n1
1) f it makes you feel any better the dentist filled my head with novocaine today and i still can’t feel my ear MY EAR! she was a rookie i think and used way to much! my whole skull is numb. i really hate dentists.
2) a couple days ago, i was in the shower and the soap was down to sliver right? so it slipped out of my hand and landed ON ITS SIDE! amazing. but that’s not all… yesterday i was having my lunch and i dropped my sandwich (still in sandwich baggie) and IT LANDED ON ITS SIDE! i am not joking you.
3) Point Break Live! we showed up and they were like you want a pancho? they are a dollar each? and we were like why would we want a pancho? and they were like: you want a pancho, they target people with out panchos. so we spent our dollars and bought panchos and they were well worth the dollars they cost. it’s because in all the ruckus of POINT BREAK LIVE they spray you with water and fake blood and stuff. the deal with POINT BREAK LIVE is that they have an “audition” at the beginning to get an audience memeber to play keanu reves character in the play. then they have a “cue card girl” running around with audience member who is now playing johnnie utah and he reads his lines off the cue cards… if you got a bad johnnie it would probably suck but ours was a pretty good sport so it was funny.
4) favorite whazzmaster era? mine’s When Madd Got a Toy Helicopter.
5) i will join you for a Bart Bar sir. but not till after school is done. we can catch a sporting event! Huzzah!
Man hands on misery to man.

i just love that poem
bitches!
how about we go shoot guns?
sorry i haven’t kept you up on my toy helicopter hobbying, but i got 2 new ones. totally different designs… these have dual rotors spinning in opposite direction to zero out the torque on the main body. then the back blade is horizontal just to push the tail up or down to go back and forth. as the battery wears down you have to manually adjust the trim on the 2 rotors to keep the body from spinning, but then turning left and right is just adjustments to that trim so the body turns real easy.
the battery lasts less, and the recharge takes longer, but these are a lot more accessible to beginning pilots. there was a lot of fun learning how to do anything useful with a normal single rotor design.
the new ones also don’t have laser tag built in.
the poem is flawed.
coastal shelves don’t deepen. if anything they become less deep due to erosion and tides bringing in sediment.
maybe he means as you go from the coast out, but then eventually it will go back up and you’ll reach another coast and eventually a mountain. and if you’re coming into short the same is true until you hit another coastal shelf.
so by “deepens like a coastal shelf” did he really mean, “does not become deeper” ???
and why is the solution to not have kids? give them your misery. now there is still only 1 person with misery, and it isn’t you.
fucking retard poets piss me off
the single vs dual rotor design would be like the difference between surfing in the ocean, and surfing on one of those fixed ramp water jet “FlowRider” things on cruise ships and water parks.
having the environment change makes it more complicated to maintain position, but you can trick off the power source.
eventually i want to build an autonomous chopper that can adapt to light winds, allow remote control and video transmission up to 5km.
ideally it would be able to go on a recon mission and map the terrain and store it for a base computer to use for future input. then gps can be applied to it. then the recon map data compared to current camera input would give current location. gps (if available) could be used to make the map comparison easier because it could limit the search range.
if that worked at all, then it would be cake to input instructions to follow a path.
eventually battery use will become bottleneck. so a dilemma… begin design with a dual rotor, making all the navigation code ridiculously simple but much more power required for similar lift and speed, or go with what i’ll eventually have to switch to anyways when it comes time to squeeze more life out of the fuel.
form vs function vs function of form vs form of function (vs function of function?) (vs form of form?) [[ vs cal ]]
hmm.m…. then again, the memory required to navigate a single rotor would need to be much more because where you are is more of where have you been and how are forces currently being applied and currently changing… keeping track of all of that might take more juice than spinning another blade and making “turn a little bit right” => “cut the juice to the top rotor by 1 measure of electricity”. they would both have to keep current wind estimates and adjust for that. my only homies at SST got that covered, cheap and light for 2 volts.
i tried to consult the good dr. 4nyay for his orbital satellite experience so i could transmit video from the chopper, but the smallest dish he’s done is 3 meters. i don’t think that will work.
also, if you haven’t seen the movie HELL ON WHEELS… check it out. it’s on netflix watch instantly.
only saw it because they list dave attell as the star… really he is just in 1 scene for like 1 minute where insomniac showed up to film for 1 night.
it’s a documentary of the texas roller girl leagues… the power struggles are RIDICULOUS. if you like any of the following, you should make an effort to see this movie:
1) crazy bitches on wheels
2) dave attell
3) rules of governance
i’ll write a book mutha fuckaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

And now I quote (bold mine):
Skim surface fat off the liquid in the saucepan. Bring to simmer. Mix a few tablespoons flour in a jar with a few tablespoons water; THIS IS CALLED SLURRY. Cover and shake it well. Whisk some of the slurry into the simmering sauce. Simmer about 10 minutes, adding more slurry to reach desired thickness. Taste and adjust salt and pepper if necessary.

I say back that thing up to the employee entrance at the seeker.
my favorite pick set of the year “Pea Pods” seemingly just committed fantasy suicide picking detroit to win.
i should have seen the signs.
green bay to win in week 1????!!!
AARON RODGERS PLAYS LIKE A GIRL.
Woke up this morning, rubbed eyes, saw daylight, “Did I pick Detroit this week? No, I picked Dallas. No, I think I picked Detroit.” Pea to pod, “No, you must have picked Dallas. That’s the head pick and you’ve already one strike. Don’t be an idiot.” Pod to pea, “No, pea, you went with the heart this week and picked Detroit Some underdog must win this game. Might as well be De-troy-t.”
Pod to pea, “Oops.”
Pea to pod, “Told you so.”
Pea & Pod disputess maddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd’s (sp?) assertion that one number 12 plays like a ‘girl.’
he does. We crushed you guys with BRETT FAVRE hahahahahahahhahaha you suck!
I hate the NEW YORK YANKEES!
i hate body by jake.
from the dumb tv ad:
GOTTA DOOR?
YOU GOTTA GYM.
who are the advertising GENIOUSES behind this?
GOT ADDOR?
YOU GOT AGGYM!
!#*)(%&!)*(#%&(*&@)#(&*%)(@!#*%^&!
WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU CAN’T MAKE IT?!
sorry, bro. I GOTTA DOOR!
huh?
yeah, all week. I HAVE TO.
Hold on a sec… I have two doors. Do I have two gyms? What are my windows?
This week’s shit list, like every week, starts with cal.
1. cal
2. TCF Bank
This morning when I was walking my dog, I found some chick’s TCF Bank Golden Gopher Rewards Debit/Visa card. Being a friend to all, I called the “if found cal this #” as instructed by the back of the card. BOOM, good deed done.
Wrong. I had to listen to the menu of choices four or five times because NOTHING on the list concerns finding a lost card. Annoying, plus I hate robot voices. Finally, I just picked one, but it turned out to be the wrong choice, so I got transferred and put on hold. When I get a real live lady, she’s all crabby about it and asked if I was near a TCF bank. When I tell her no, she asks me where the nearest TCF bank was. I tell her I don’t know (I don’t). She asks me where I live and I say Madison, WI. To this, she tells me to destroy the card.
Is everyone in MN a dick or just cal and TCF bank?
There was a lot of purple at the packer game yesterday. I’d like to think the fans that sold their tickets were smoking fine cigars and booking cruises to exotic loCALS, but it’s more likely they spent the profit on cartfuls of shit from super walmart.
Funny moment: the fans booed favre at the intro, at the coin toss, at every possession. Towards the end of the first quarter the boos were starting to die off but then Longwell came on to kick a field goal and the OG ship jumper got booed with renewed vigor. It was like this fucker! I forgot all about this fucker. BOOOOO. GODDAMIT BOOOOO.
TCF, you dicks! I was helping you!
Also, when did we get Ahman Green back? Why are we using a 100 year old RB to return kicks? From my seat it was hard to tell, but was he doing gymnastics when he fielded kickoffs?
I had on my orange hat. Did any of you see me?
Before the game, I ate at Curly’s pub. Curly’s is the same as the Friday’s at Miller Park– a restaurant inside the stadium.
Anyway, while I was eating, a dude walked past carrying a stack of Milwaukee Journals. Dude had about 6 big fat Sunday papers. I thought he was selling them, so I said I’ll take one. Turns out he was just collecting them (later I found out they gave out free papers down on the concourse) and he took offense to my mistaking him for a paper boy.
Whatever. Honorable profession, bro. I am perplexed though: did he spend the whole game holding 40 pound of Sunday paper?
Also, they have an air hockey table in Curly’s. And mini-corndogs.
Mini corndogs are the air hockey of food.
Explain that last commment
1. Ryan Longwell was not offered a contract extension by the Packers and the Vikings were the team that signed him. I guess that somehow makes him a dick for seeking gainful employment.
2. Ahman Green? Yeah, what the fuck? This isn’t baseball where you can sign Billy Spiers 5 years after his prime to be a backup utility infielder. When running backs are used up, they’re used up.
