Sadly on my morning commute today, I unavoidably ran over the cutest lil’ bunny as it darted out in front of my truck.

My rear view mirror confirmed what I heard and felt as I drove over it.

Farewell sweet Bugs, farewell.

- Teeth are healing nicely. Surprised there wasn’t more pain to be honest

- Making progress with the blog update. Still have live-action video sequences to shoot and add to site, plus some About content and color changes

- Slipped a finger into my ouch-place again, during an assertive shower session

- Think I’ve got my AMP, sub, towers and rear speakers sold — thanks Craigs List (now only if the bike and canopy find good homes!)

- Damn, BBQ hotdogs 13.5 days in a row and they only get better

TOP THINGS OVERHEARD AT THE G8 SUMMIT

–Someone please take the sake away from the Japanese Prime Minister before he discovers we’ve got “Baby Got Back” on the karaoke machine.

–Look, I’ll pledge my entire nation’s GDP to combat global warming. Just as long as I don’t have to watch Al Gore’s documentary again.

–Is it just me, or does the Canadian Prime Minister look like a human snake?

–I understand it’s a big issue back in Japan, Mr. Prime Minister. But I think you’re the only one who supports the creation of an International Godzilla Defense Force.

–Why don’t Bush and Putin stop all this aggressive tension and just have sex already?

–Does that Harper guy keep calling your hotel room and ask what you’re wearing?

–I love the smell of absolute power in the morning.

–I know President Bush is snoring over there, but don’t bother him because he’ll threaten war with anyone who wakes him up.

–Turn up the air conditioning so I can concentrate on this global warming crap.

–Canada is a forward thinking country with green values, an environmental conscience, and really, REALLY potent weed.

–So, what do y’all think of Paris in prison, Lindsay in rehab and Britney’s big comeback?

–Wears robes to cover up a bad Dave Matthews tattoo he got in ‘97.

–Recently traded in his sandals for some of those zippy wheeled shoes the kids are wearing.

–The reason his robe is so loose is to hide the Dalai Lama boner.

–Invented a machine that allowed him to go back in time and get the coolest glasses ever worn by ’70s high school guidance counselors.

–He’ll tell you the key to spiritual enlightenment. . . if you can sit through a boring story about the time he met Scott Baio.

–Once started a write-in protest to get “227″ back on the air.

–Every night, he lies awake, wondering if Corey Feldman will ever write back.

–Doesn’t realize the other monks are humouring him when they applaud his nightly off-key karaoke renditions of “It’s Raining Men”.

–Has to keep reminding himself, the next time he negotiates with the Chinese President over Tibetan independence, not to fall for that “pull my finger” trick again.

–Still doesn’t get the joke when someone sends him a tiny stuffed llama.

–Is completely shaved so that his junk looks bigger in the mirror.

–He can “pop it” and “lock it”, but he still has trouble “dropping it”.

–Gets all of his advice from those “Chicken Soup” books.

–Gets all of his sage advice and wisdom from the side of Starbucks’ cups.

–His only MySpace friend is Tony Danza.

–Has a Friday night ritual of smoking some chronic and then prank-calling the Pope.

As everyone who knows me, knows, that I have an opinion about everything & I’m not afraid to voice it. And as a member of the Daily Rumpy Pumpy crew, I had a spot where I’d rant about something that pissed me off that week. Well… it’s back! And since the webcast has gone the way of the Dodo, this is now where you can find me spouting off about whatever it is, that’s chapping my hide. If it works out the way I hope, loyal fans can find my ranting & raving once a week on this very blog! So stay tuned; cause I have a dandy of a rant for ya in the works.  Entitled “Highway Drivers!”, you should see it here tomorrow evening my friends! Til then; STAY ANGRY!

 The following is an actual question given on a Washington State University chemistry mid-term. The answer by one student was so “profound” that the professor shared it with colleagues, via the Internet, which is, of course, why we now have the pleasure of enjoying it as well:

Bonus Question: Is Hell exothermic (gives off heat) or endothermic (absorbs heat)?

Most of the students wrote proofs of their beliefs using Boyle’s Law (gas cools when it expands and heats when it is compressed) or some variant. One student, however, wrote the following:

First, we need to know how the mass of Hell is changing in time. So we need to know the rate at which souls are moving into Hell and the rate at which they are leaving. I think that we can safely assume that once a soul gets to Hell, it will not leave. Therefore, no souls are leaving. As for how many souls are entering Hell, let’s look at the different religions that exist in the world today. Most of these religions state that if you are not a member of their religion, you will go to Hell.

Since there is more than one of these religions and since people do not belong to more than one religion, we can project that all souls go to Hell. With birth and death rates as they are, we can expect the number of souls in Hell to increase exponentially.Now, we look at the rate of change of the volume in Hell because Boyle’s Law states that in order for the temperature and pressure in Hell to stay the same, the volume of Hell has to expand proportionately as souls are added.
This gives two possibilities:
1.      If Hell is expanding at a slower rate than the rate at which souls enter Hell, then the temperature and pressure in Hell will increase until all Hell breaks loose.
2.      If Hell is expanding at a rate faster than the increase of souls in Hell, then the temperature and pressure will drop until Hell freezes over.
So which is it? If we accept the postulate given to me by Teresa during my Freshman year that, “It will be a cold day in Hell before I sleep with you,” and take into account the fact that I slept with her last night, then number two must be true, and thus I am sure that Hell is exothermic and has already frozen over. The corollary of this theory is that since Hell has frozen over, it follows that it is not accepting any more souls and is therefore, extinct……leaving only Heaven, thereby proving the existence of a divine being which explains why, last night, Teresa kept shouting “Oh my God.”
 

THIS STUDENT RECEIVED THE ONLY “A”

I hate nothing more than being a pack-rat and as those close to me know, any time I find there’s something of mine that I’m just not using any more, or would be more of a benefit to someone else, or the fact its simply taking up too much room, I offer it up for sale.

Here are a few items I’ve got laying around, all in amazing condition, as always and ready to go whenever you want. They’re all listed with Craig’s List and can be seen here:

2005 KAWASAKI ZX-6R 636
Cap-IT Canopy for 97+ Ford F150 SC Longbox
ENERGY “CONNOISSEUR Series” C-6 Speakers
ENERGY “CONNOISSEUR Series” C-2 Speakers
ENERGY ES8 100W Sub Woofer
Yamaha “FLAGSHIP” RX-V2092 Home Theater Receiver

Keep me posted. Getting married and no need for this stuff. Money’s more important than storing unused goods at this point ;-)

Thanks, and pass the word!

Well, today is “recovery” day. I wasn’t around at all yesterday. Had all 4 (yes 4) wisdom teeth surgically removed at MSA yesterday AM.

Got there about 7:50am and left about 11:50am. I felt bad for Jodi as she took the day off to come with me (driver, domestic slave and all around loving supporter ;-) and it took so damn long. I was told 2-3 hrs a week earlier during pre-op/bloodwork and well, 4hrs later (with no complications too!).

Got home after picking up prescriptions and rather than working the rest of the day like I had hoped to, I stayed in bed bleeding for 9hrs (was told 30-40 mins) watching Sex And The City, Season 6 [insert gay joke here].

Bleeding eventually stopped and I ate some apple sauce and an Oreo Cheesequake blizzard (which Jodi talked me into :-).

Lookout teeth, braces are a comin’.
