Carrefoure American promotion

Junk food and Tide laundry detergent.

Way to go USA!
A whole wall full of snacks.

The Thai promo had furniture and Hawaiian shirts.

OK, so maybe if they promoted Canada they would show Hot Chic calendars and maple blah blah blah.

Did you know that steel wool is flammable?

I haven't had a fruit roll up in more than a decade. If only they had imported red or black licorice.

I wanted to drop 26000 nt for a 37" panasonic television. I couldn't do it so I bought a new tool box for 249nt$.

My new job has a massive Mac with Final cut pro in English. I think the next Ktv will have more successful chrome-magna effects.

A Poem / Sermon

Marianne Williamson



Our greatest fear is not that we are inadequate, but that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that frightens us.

We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, handsome, talented and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you.

We were born to make manifest the glory of God within us. It is not just in some; it is in everyone. And, as we let our own light shine, we consciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our fear, our presence automatically liberates others.

acid to kevlar's heroin

funny, the sandstress just did this a few days ago too. has kevlar been reading honeybees? we may never know!

Your Personality Is Like Acid

A bit wacky, you're very difficult to predict. One moment you're in your own little happy universe... And the next, you're on a bad trip to your own personal hell!

What Drug Is Your Personality Like?

shiretowners are in 5th place going into the final week of the regular season with just a slim lead over no less than 4 teams. we're playing pimp again and hold just a 3 game lead over that blinged out bearded bastard so what can i say, it's gonna be tight. only the top 6 move on to the playoff round. may the baseball gods be with us through this most important of weeks!

Personality test

Your Personality Is Like Heroin

You're capable of the highest highs and the lowest lows. Addicted to feeling good, you'll do almost anything to avoid pain. People seek you out, even though you can be quite moody. They're hooked on you!

Damn you 7-11!

7-11 is everywhere, and I can't stroll by one without hearing.
"Kaia Ice, Dada Kaia Ice. Ice Kaia Dada, Me ice Kaia Dada, Dada!'.

Even with a slurpy in hand, she would like to enter the next 7-11 and admire the fine technology that produces this "ice" her drink of choice.

Traditional cradle

Ry once had half of this with a soft sling. Given to his family as a gift. It didn't look right because of the soft sling.

I'm sure Ivo/Dash/Spiderman would love the jungle gym aspects of this bamboo creation.

Polanco's Error

Wikipedia and baseball errors.

The term "ordinary effort" is what makes "baseball error" more clear to me. Polanco must have bobbled fielding the grounder, missed the double play at second and made a poor throw to first. For his correct field position but poor execution he received an error.

His first error in a year seems note worthy for The China Post but didn't make the highlight reels.

Detroit and the Yankees

While getting a haircut I watched the first two innings of the game. Polanco committed an error in the second. He caught the ball at the second base position and threw it to first. They called the runner at first safe. What did he do wrong? Perhaps I should call a baseball fan. If BretT could afford a phone I would have called him. He is probably in a library somewhere, reading Spainish comic books.

The hair cut was bad, the neck rub was fantastic. The girl kept looking at me like I was supposed to ask her out...

A quick google says Polanco threw high to the plate after getting a bouncing ground ball a runner scored.. but I think he caught the ball and threw to first avoiding trying to tag the guy running to second. He didn't get the guy at first, cause he didn't catch the ball.. What was the error? ?

Zeitgeist

Zeitgeist -the spirit of the time; general trend of thought or feeling characteristic of a particular period of time.



A two hour movie, related to 9/11 conspiracies and the IRS. Part III (most interesting) has several comments about Bush and the federal bank reserve. As well as commentary about the North American Union.

Video plays much better if you go directly to google video.

Uncle

Built during Dora episodes this baby should provide some entertainment. I forgot to tell Ry to cover both boards with chalk and/ or wipe it with a damp rag to remove green dust from the chalk board paint.

fantasy update

shiretowners held off pimp's e's this past week to move up into 6th place with 2 weeks to play. this week against tai-pan, next week against pimp again...

Ant Puck Luck

Well I put the whole box out and came home ten days later to find little piles of dead ants. A day later I saw some ten ants. I think there are so many ants that I will never kill them all. Perhaps these pucks only work for two weeks.

Third bottle

Guess i am not so clean. This is my third bottle of dish soap since I came to Taiwan. The price of a gallon of soap has risen from 39 to a whooping 59 nt.

cicada molting

you know those cicada shells you find on the streets and in the parks?

here's how it goes down, time lapse of a cicada molting

"tree crickets"

some species of cicada can live 2 to 5 years, others even 13 to 17 years.

all about cicadas.

Ugly Bug

Wife says these things make a loud noise and die in seven days.

Kevlar Art Station

One of three I built before my vacation. This one weighs in at a hefty 23 pounds, has two magnetic chalkboards, and a storage area. The magnets will hold paper in place while the child uses crayons.

I know a guy...

There is this guy I met many times, who could have told me the geckos cup size, and where she wanted to .... I only got one shot from a meter out and then the male grabbed his clothes and left.

shiretowners salvaged a tie with the camels this past week in fantasy baseball action but fell out of 5th place to 7th. hard charging taipan and pimp's e's each demolished their opponents (bread and dwayne) effectively climbing back into contention.

thanks guys.

it's a log jam for the final two playoff spots as we take on pimp for the first time all season and taipan takes on the rainiers.

all four teams are within 5 percentage points of each other.

should be an interesting week.

hope pimp's really enjoying the lake country these next couple of weeks.

it had to happen sooner or later. rye's shiretowners took on the chin this past week in fantasy baseball action losing to the newcastle guzzlers 9-6, effectively ending my june-july unbeaten streak.

we remain in 5th place for the time being with no less than 5 teams within striking distance this week.

squaring off against the 2nd ranked camels tomorrow...

Getttin' ready

Will be up at 5am to catch a train. I am going to Orchid Island and a bunch of other places. Finally going to scuba dive in Taiwan. Hopefully the approaching typhoon will not give me grief.

Cut-offs

Erections and tofu farts got the better of most of my shorts. For a 100nt I had my shabby pants converted, and they fit perfectly.
I say "NO to having the crotch of my shorts rip out again!" I say "No" to the old seamstress winking before fixing another pair of tattered shorts. So maybe it is my ass-crack plumber butt that stresses my seams. I say it is better than a two toothed seamstress stressing my dreams.

Somebody's been two for a week

Her new skills are turning door handles successfully and more frequently using the potty.

Fun with rich kids

Amusement park, these kids did not walk by a vending machine or ice water seller without stopping. The water log ride was fun. I had to wear a raincoat to set an example for the kids.

2 buses, 4 kids per room, 6000 per room= 7th and 8th floor of the hotel. By 9:30 all the kids were asleep. Not a single can of beer, or 7-11 for miles around. The pool and other facilities also closed at 10 pm. Well at least there was no traffic buzz, highways, or chicken farms.

or this one will probably get you fired - film can cannon

kevlar the science teacher

i don't see much of kevlar these days - he pops by once a week for a beer and to pick up building materials for his next project - but i do know he's been teaching elementary school again, including science class. he was telling me about his waterwheel experiment the other day but i think this would be way cooler.
