Just testing – this is not me 🙂

UPDATE FROM RICHARD!

His ass hurts.

 

Thanks for sharing THAT, big boy. You should get a One Way Street sign tattooed on that bum. And make sure it’s pointing in the right direction.

Evolution

Well here I am doing my virgin post at Shadowscope. I’m still a little shocked that Richard actually trusted me with a set of keys, but I’ll do my best not to do anything too embarassing. Heh. Not.

Any of you who know me at all know that I am a believer of evolution and that Darwin, Sagan, et al. are “my peeps”. I could go into the details of evolution, or I could let Dr. Sagan tell you by sending you to this great short video, which culminates with “four billion years of evolution in forty seconds”. Pure gold.

Now as I get thinking more and more about evolution, it makes me wonder why certain traits have survived. What evolutionary value, for instance, do nipples on males have? Another thing I wonder about is that most of us mothers out there wonder why we haven’t evolved into having three hands?

I was thinking about all of these things while poking around here in the old Shadowscope vault, when I came across a baby picture of Richard that let me know exactly why two hands are just enough for men. One of my questions answered…

Getting There

We’re almost to Macon. My ass hurts so we swapped out and the wife is going to drive for awhile. A little over a third of the way I guess.

Some Things Should NOT Be Re-Made

Steve McQueen is a man’s man, whether it was in his movies or in real life. How many of the pussified Hollywood stars do their own stunts? I was reading over at Cinematical that it’s rumored Brad Pitt might have the starring role in the Bulitt Remake. Oh hell, no. I tend to agree with them that the only star I know of that might approach the man (Steve McQueen) in coolness would be Daniel Craig.

On Vacation…No…REALLY

This will at least by last post of the weekend where I am actually at home. There will be at least some semi-regular brain farts though. I have a few posts scheduled for the next couple of days and as I mentioned previously there is a crack team of 1000 monkeys on 1000 typewriters that just can’t wait to make me a million. I will also be bound to post lots of cell phone photos, and I am taking the laptop with me as well as my iPaq because taking crack away from a junkie is just not a good thing to do. The only promise I can make is that I won’t blog while taking a shit but since I have already broken THAT promise I am not even legally liable for that either.

Celebrity Jesus…

There is a church right down the street from one of my stores and on the way past yesterday morning I happened to look at their billboard on my way past. On the sign it had the usual stuff, pastor’s name, time of services, and…”Celebrity Jesus”.

Damn, I gotta catch that one.

Savannah

I am looking forward to driving to Hilton Head tomorrow. We were going to leave in the morning, but I have several things to take care of in the morning so it may be after lunch before we head out. I have a few more posts to write, so it really just depends on what time I get to bed.

Spoke with V-Man tonight and I think we may be getting together Saturday for dinner. Probably going to have the girls with me so I can’t get too god-awful tanked or anything. He said he would drive up to Bluffton so I am not sure whether we will meet there or in Savannah yet.

I do want to drive down to Savannah at some point in the trip as well. Even if all we do is site see, that’s OK. It really depends on which children and how many are with us as to what we do. I will just wait and see on that one.
