Man Convicted of Sprinkling Fecal Matter on Pastries

From a Dallas TV-News site, that I lost the link to (sorry)...
A Dallas man will likely be sentenced today, one day after a jury convicted him of sprinkling feces on pastries at a grocery store.
Prosecutors charged 49-year-old Behrouz Nahidmobarekeh with two felony counts of tampering with consumer products.
During the trial, the jury saw store surveillance videotapes of the man tainting the food.
Customers had complained the fresh-baked items smelled and tasted like manure.
Nahidmobarekeh could get anywhere from 10 years probation to two to 20 years in prison.

Tequila and Pornography


I googled "Tequila and Pornography" and google didn't return a single result. Don't bother to ask why I googled "Tequila and Pornography" 'cause you won't believe me. The deal is, I was passing through a few blogs the other day and BAM! boobs in the face. Not that I mind boobs in the face, don't get me wrong. I can click on (see top right hand cornor of this page) and I can get porn, or I can get some crap about a bullfighter written in Spanish, or something written by a 12 year old girl with a crush on some dude in her math class, or some goth dude with rings in every orafice, ball-bearings stuck under the skin by a "surgeon", and a forked snake tongue preaching the benefits of crystal meth as a good method of weight loss. Anyway, the porn thing (and probably the crystal meth thing) can get me fired, so I can't surf through blogs at work anymore.

Thanks, I guess, for reading this. And don't tell me that I'm a jackass and that I can stop using blogger. 'Cause, duh, of course I can.


P.S. Please remind me to watch the Mythbusters on the discovery channel next Wednesday rather than the Lost re-run.

P.P.S. I hear that sex sells, so here's a picture that's not porn, or tequila, but it did come out of a hot tequila image search. (This one's for the artist formerly known as Van Blogger

Disgusting food choices...

Peanut Butter and Banana Sandwiches. Those were a favorite of Elvis Presley. One of my favorite sandwiches as a kid was a Brown Sugar and Butter masterpiece. I sometimes wonder why my mom let me eat those. These days I don't eat those and I'm not very adventerous in the food department at all.
My son asked for a salami and jelly sandwich for dinner today. I didn't make it, but I considered it.
Fried Pickles, Fried Bananas and Fried Watermelon are "foods" that I've seen people eat, but would never try.
I've eaten rattlesnake, alligator, buffalo, kangaroo and emu, but I don't know if I could ever eat the stuff my grandpa used to hunt and eat (squirrel, 'possum and little bunnies). If you're wondering, rattlesnake and alligator don't taste like chicken, they taste like whatever seasoning is on them. Buffalo and emu didn't taste good at all and I think I was over-served when I tried the kangaroo.
I guarantee somebody reading this likes to eat some terrible stuff. Do me a favor, put it in the comments and share with the rest of us.

Later!

"WOA!" (Joey Lawerance, 1987)

Significance of 108 (Chris' Cliffs Notes)
Powers of 1, 2, and 3 in math: 1 to 1st power=1; 2 to 2nd power=4 (2x2); 3 to 3rd power=27 (3x3x3). 1x4x27=108
Heart Chakra: The chakras are the intersections of energy lines, and there are said to be a total of 108
energy lines converging to form the heart chakra.
Upanishads: Some say there are 108 Upanishads, texts of the wisdom of the ancient sages.
Sri Yantra: On the Sri Yantra there are marmas where three lines intersect, and there are 54 such intersections. Each intersections has masculine and feminine, shiva and shakti qualities. 54 times 2 equals 108. Thus, there are 108 points that define the Sri Yantra as well as the human body.
Pentagon: The angle formed by two adjacent lines in a pentagon equals 108 degrees.
In astrology, there are 12 houses and 9 planets. 12 times 9 equals 108.

Buddhism: Some Buddhists carve 108 small Buddhas on a walnut for good luck.

Reeses Peanut Butter Cups...

I am addicted! My drug of choice is salty peanut butter covered in chocolate. Reese's PB Cups are like crack to this fat guy! I love them, I could eat 10 every day of the regular variety. I could eat about 50 of the big cups and a half dozen of the white chocolate type.
These alone are the reason I cannot keep my weight down to a respectable level. Damn you Mr. Hershey! or whomever invented these delights and pushed them onto unsuspecting children.

Interesting Fact #1 (from Hershey.com)
The name REESE'S has a unique heritage established by Harry Burnett (H.B.) Reese, a former dairy employee of Milton S. Hershey, founder of Hershey Foods Corporation. Reese was so inspired by Mr. Hershey's success that he left the dairy business to make his living in the candy industry. The H.B. Reese Candy Company began manufacturing a product made with specially processed peanut butter and HERSHEY'S Milk Chocolate in the 1920s. Introduced as simply peanut butter cups, the popular candy item is known today as REESE'S peanut butter cups.

Interesting fact #2 (me)
It is impossible for me to find and sales facts on Reese's Peanut Putter Cups. I thought they were one of the best selling candies, but it seems that M&M's are #1 and that's all I can say for sure.

Possible Facts:
From "The Emperors of Chocolate" by Joël Glenn Brenner:"Reese's Peanut Butter Cups are Hershey's biggest seller, but in the1950s, the company tried a chocolate marshmallow cup that showed realpromise. Unfortunately, the product had to be discontinued -- themarshmallow filling had a tendency to explode when shipped over thehigh altitude of the Rocky Mountains."

  • Reese's makes enough Peanut Butter Cups in one year for each personin the USA to eat at least 20
  • Reese's Peanut Butter Cups" is the #1 selling candy brand in the USA
  • Reese's makes enough peanut butter cups in one year to feed one cupto every person in the USA, Japan, Europe, Australia, China, Africa,and India

(from google answers, thread 31004 - thanks to a user named inquisitive)


Help?
If anybody can find any credible information on Reese's PB Cup sales volume, I would love to see them. Any other information / trivia would also be appreciated.

Can you control your BOOGERS? Please!

Boogers are gross. So don't shoot them at me. Cover your mouth when you cough and sneeze. Don't pick your nose and touch me or things I may be required to touch in the future (door handles). This message is intended mostly for Nate and Sydney, but it can apply to you also.
So sticking with tradition...

Booger facts:
What is a booger? A booger is mucus. Sometimes it dries up, sometimes it stays gooey, sometimes they're clear and sometimes they have a green hue (usually when you're sick).

How many boogers do you have? According to coolquiz.com, Your nose makes nearly a cupful of snot every day.

Can we get rid of them? If you have to get rid of boogers, your best bet is to blow 'em out of your nose and into a tissue. Picking your nose isn't a great idea because boogers contain lots of dirt and germs and because poking around in your nose can make it bleed (KidsHealth.org).

This is just weird. Virtual nose picking at it's finest.

What's Green and sticks to your fingers? Booger the Frog, of course!

This is making me ill. How about...

Beverages named after boogers? Bloody Booger, Booger, and Gator Booger.

Booger Food! Booger Burgers, althought technically not a real recipe, the thought is sick enough to make it on my list.

A real defination from an online dictionary: mucous secretion, mucus - protective secretion of the mucous membranes; in the gut it lubricates the passage of food and protects the epithelial cells; in the nose and throat and lungs it can make it difficult for bacteria to penetrate the body through the epithelium (thefreedictionary.com)

What It Is (And What It's Snot): Snot is mostly water. It also has salt and chemicals in it that help it stay sticky. Snot and spit might look similar but they aren't the same stuff. Spit comes from salivary glands inside the mouth. (Kidzworld.com)

Boogers for Sale: Video Game: Boogerman: A Pick and Flick Adventure, T-Shirt: Boogers,
Book: Captain Underpants ... Nostril Nuggets, Book: Dave Berry, Boogers are my Beat, Book: The Booger Book

Finally, a Booger Quote: "You can pick your friends, you can pick your nose, but you can't pick your freinds nose."

Don't click here: It's a booger picture

The vas deferens and the perineum (Might be rated R)

aka the Tots and theTaint:

The Perineum is the muscle and tissue between the vagina and the anus. This is what is cut in an episiotomy, and may be massaged before and during labor to help it to stretch.

The Vas deferens is the sperm carrying tube that travels upward inside the spermatic cord until it reaches the urethra. A vasectomy is the removal of a small section of each vas deferens to stop the passage of sperm.

Taint: aka the perineum - the area between the genitals and anus, male or female, although the term is said to orginate from the saying "It t'aint pu$$y and t'aint a$$..."

Tots: aka the Tubes that get cut when you have a vasectomy. "Dude, I'm having a party tonight, they're cutting my tots in the morning, so I can stop making babies."

There is no point to my posting this. A frind of mine had his Tots cut recently and I will be seeing him tomorrow. He and his wife have 3 kids. My wife and I have 2 and I'm thinking of cutting the tots soon. I do know that if we had a 3rd kid, I'd be visiting the Dr. the next day.

I apologize for the picture and the topic, but that's whats on my mind this evening.

Don't stick a fork in your eye!

And other ways to avoid serious injury. Immediately after almost losing sight in my left eye, I discovered my topic for the day. Safety! Today I am Mr. Safety! Or maybe, Safety Man!, or Saftizzle Manizzle! I shall waste no more of your time.

A PSA from Iowa State University. (This is a radio script)
Your new bull has been stubborn the past few days. Every time you try to transfer him to a new trailer, he holds back. And now you don't have time to wait.
You decide to show him who's boss and walk toward him with a determined look. Suddenly, the bull looks at you, starts pawing the ground and charging toward you. And the gate is far away.
What do you do?

What is get the hell outta there, Alex?

Wrong! The PSA's advice is... "You don't get in that situation. "

Oh, thanks, no way! How can that be a public service announcement? What are you really supossed to do?

Google to the rescue...

How to avoid a bull-fight or attack (The Internet RULES!) from this site

1. Keep your eye on the bull. Biggest cause of fatalities and injuries is carelessness/familiarity/contempt. Bulls are completely unpredictable.
2. If you have to go in field with bull, keep to the edges. Otherwise detour outside the field. Some bulls may take no notice of intruders some of the time, then attack. They can run and swerve faster than humans. Remember, maddened cows can charge, too.
3. Evade bull by flinging taken-off coat (or any hand-held object) into bull's path. There is a good chance the bull will pause to investigate decoy with horn before resuming chase, which gives you time to take another garment off as you run.
4. Bulls tend to go for any bright colors-not necessarily red. Subdue anything bright as best you can.
5. Bulls don't take to water easily. Another escape avenue: river/lake outlet/canal.
6. If with family (inconceivable, if you have not been careless), draw off bull while women and children run in different directions-by flinging coat. Even then no knowing what bull will do and whom he will chase.
7. If thrown by bull, only way to hurt him is by grasping the nose ring (if there is one) and hanging on with fingers.
8. Another survival method that has worked: Feign death if you have already survived being thrown/gored/knelt on.

Then I found out that this is a serious problem in Canada

  • In Canada, only one in 20 people will survive a bull attack. Bull encounters account for 40 per cent of animal handling fatalities.

Can a Person with One Testicle ...

Have Children?
Answer: Certainly, having one testicle would not necessarily prevent someone from having children, as long as the remaining testicle was normal. (Dr. Daniel B. Williams, MD)

I don't know why I thought of testicles today. I think it may have something to do with the National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. And in case you are wondering, I am all for saving breasts and eliminating Breast Cancer.

Have a normal Erection?
A man with one healthy testicle can still have a normal erection (linked)

Win a War?
Both Hitler and Napoleon were missing one testicle...(Inconclusive? Yes!)

Become Governor of California?
A Partial list of famous people with one testicle; Tom Greene, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and Lance Armstrong

This is my type of fun. Special thanks go out to The Scrotal Safety Commission (since I am borrowing most of the content for the ret of this post from there.)

Scrotal Safety Tips:
  • When hygienically inspecting your scrotum, remember to treat your fleshy sack with kid gloves (or an equivalent glove of soft construction). Keeping your fingernails neatly trimmed will also help cut down on self-inflicted scrotal damage.
  • Riding escalators is both fun and convenient. But please remember to wear slacks while you enjoy the mechanical comfort of a moving staircase. And never sit on an escalator tread, even if the escalator is not in service.
  • Get a professional to "size" you for under-shorts. Many scrotal accidents could have been easily avoided by sporting proper fitting under garments.
  • Bicycles are still legal in many states. Those of you that still insist on riding them should purchase a groin-helmet. These devices come in many colors and wind resistant shapes. Shop around to find the perfect groin-helmet for your needs. Plan a fun get-together with friends to decorate your groin-helmet with decals and "realistic battle damage".
  • Enlist one of your friends as a "Crotch-Buddy". Have him concern himself with the safety of your scrotum. Remind him publicly that he is your "Crotch-Buddy". Remind him in front of girls.

A box of D-A chocolates


I'm not not smart, like the average middle class citizen. I'm much smarter. But today I will have to consider myself a D-A. That's dumb-ass for those that didn't travel to Daytona Beach for Spring Break with me 12 years ago.
Follow the bouncing ball.
There are many things I have learned over the years and one of them is to not agree on a Tuesday, to go to Tennessee on a Friday. But guess what I just did? Yep, I ate a Kit-Kat bar, then I ate another Kit-Kat bar, then I said OK, I'll go.
I've made plenty of dumb mistakes in my life (perhaps one or two in Daytona 12 years ago). But never, I mean never, did I do anything as stupid as these people...
MEDFORD, Ore. -- A registered sex offender who fashioned a loin cloth from a rope and piece of lawn furniture was arrested near a high school, where he asked four girls for a ride to the mall or a motel, police said. (Full Story)

Cottonwood, Ariz. (AP) -- A man accused of trying to burglarize a home while naked Tuesday stopped in mid-escape to ask the victim for a pair of shorts, a sheriff's spokeswoman said. (Full Story)

Googled: Amazing Haloween Facts

I went to see the self-destruction of the Baltimore Ravens at Ford Field today. It was a fine display of ineptitude by both teams. It was nice to be able to yell joyous sounds at a football game for a change. So that's what I did today. Now I feel ill.
I do not know much about Halloween, so I am going to find some stuff out and share it with YOU!
  • The very first jack o' lantern was made out of a turnip. (babycenter.com)
  • 86.9 percent of consumers over the age of 45 will spend their Halloween night at home and hand out candy. (JackandRon.com)
  • In Scotland, children or guisers are likely to recite "The sky is blue, the grass is green, may we have our Halloween" instead of "trick or treat!", they will then have to impress the members of the houses they visit with a song, trick, joke or dance in order to earn their treats (wikipedia)
  • This is an evil night when spirits roamed the streets and villages. Lord Samhain, the lord of Darkness, would arrive in search of the spirits to take them to the underworld. (holidayinsights.com)
  • Hallowe’en is a relatively new holiday in the United States with the first major celebrations taking place in Anoka, Minnesota in 1921. This was followed by New York in 1923 and Los Angeles in 1925. The US was also responsible for the practice of ‘Trick or Treating’ which is said to represent the fairies who went begging door-to-door on Samhain. Those who gave food were rewarded whilst those who refused to help would be in for a hard winter. (crewsnest.vispa.com)
  • In Mexico, they celebrate El Dia de los Muertos or the Day of the Dead starting the evening of October 31. (familyinternet.about.com)
  • Legendary magician Harry Houdini died in Detroit of gangrene and peritonitis resulting from a ruptured appendix on Halloween in 1926. (bbc.co.uk)
  • 86% of Americans decorate their homes for Halloween. (bbc.co.uk)
  • Bobbing for apples’ is played around a tub of water with floating apples; the winner is the first one to pick up an apple with their teeth. Traditionally, the winner was predicted to be the next to get married. (albanyinstitute.com)
  • Trick or treating’ has other Old World influences in ancient Celtic and English rituals. The ancient Celts would dress as spirits of the dead and ask their neighbors for contributions to their feasts. In England, beggars would ask for soul cakes; little cakes made from oatmeal and molasses. When asking for the soul cakes, the beggars usually were expected to ask for it in the form of a rhyme.(albanyinstitiute.com)
  • Witch means wise one. It comes from the Saxon word wica. Witches were thought to be wise enough to tell the future.
  • Halloween is the 8th largest card-sending occasion. There are over 28 million Halloween cards sent each year! (care2.com)
  • Over 10% of all pet owners dress their pets in a Halloween costume and the number increases each year.(domesticdiversions.com)
  • U.S. consumers spend as much as $1.93 billion on candy for Halloween, making it the sweetest holiday of the year. Add to that $1.5 billion spent on costumes each year, and more than $2.5billion on other Halloween papaphernalia, such as decorations and crafts.(domesticdiversions.com)

GO LIONS!!!!

Oooooohhhhhhhhhh man.

I apologize for my absence. I had mucho homework-o. So here is today’s deal. I have vowed to not speak of politics, so I cannot comment on the George Bush and Nabil Shaath fiasco. Who do you believe? I don’t know. But this is what I do know.
This quote by Saath…
"God would tell me, 'George, go and fight those terrorists in Afghanistan.' And I did, and then God would tell me, 'George, go and end the tyranny in Iraq ...' And I did. And now, again, I feel God's words coming to me, 'Go get the Palestinians their state and get the Israelis their security, and get peace in the Middle East.' And by God I'm gonna do it,"
…is preposterous. If our President said it, he’s a kook, if he didn’t say it Saath’s a lying ho-bag, but either way, run for the freaking hills ‘cause it’s about to get dirty.
(I surmise that Dick Cheney was talking in the background at a dinner party and George overheard it and thought it was the voice of God)

So here’s my list of the afternoon. I don’t apologize in advance to those who might feel that they are more pious than I. If you feel this is offensive, you are a booger.

News of the insane…
in January of 2002, Jesus appeared in the most unlikely of places, in the base of a tree. Ella Huffin of Milwaukee looked over her backyard one day and discovered the image of Jesus holding a small child peering back at her. Since then, neighbors, strangers, and reporters have flocked to her backyard to behold this miracle. Some unbelievers don't see it at first, but eventually most people are able to make out the image. (Top Left)

Jesus also appeared in a tortilla in 1978 in New Mexico. (Top Right)

Around the side of the church, there's a tree that has the face of Jesus on it. The tree is not carved and the face is literally in the bark of the tree. Once you find it you can't miss it. [McKenzie, 09/18/2004] (Bottom Left)

a 10-year-old grilled cheese sandwich, one side of which bears the Virgin Mary's image. The seller, Diana Duyser of Hollywood, Fla., claims that the sandwich never sprouted a single spore of mold, despite having been stored in a less-than-airtight plastic box. (Bottom Right)

In Egypt of September, 2000. A woman told the BBC she had had two sightings, both times between three o'clock and six o'clock in the morning. She said she had seen the Virgin Mary with outstretched hands and a light emanating from them, accompanied by a smell of incense and large numbers of pigeons. (Sorry, no picture of this one.)

Seriously Folks, Are you Serious?

I am passing through many many blogs this evening, looking for a linking partner (drop me a message if you like my blog and wanna share a link) or a dozen. I'd rather share links with those with similar blogging tastes, and I can't find one. Every blog I run across is about "the left" or "the right" or I'm so Christian and you aren't so you suck. Doesn't anyone do this for fun? How terrible is life that you must complain about everything? Wake up man, have fun, you go throughthis life one time, why worry about what imposing your views on everyone else? Tell me a story about you. Tell me a joke. Tell me anything except how bad and evil other people are. I can read that on the other 5 Billion blogs.

So here are my top 5 favorite breakfast cereals.
(feel free to point out your favorits in the comments.)
1. Count Chocula
2. Frosted Mini-Wheats
3. Cocoa Pebbles
4. Frosted Flakes
5. Cocoa Puffs

Didn't see the Doc about the toes...


Because I didn't want to be a little girl about my toes and since I eventually was again able to walk (on my heel, mostly) I decided, last night, to wait 'till today before I went for x-rays. I don't need no stinkin' doctor to tell me a purple toe isn't normal, but I know that there's nothing he can do for a little boo-boo like that except tape it to it's neighbor. The picture over there ---> isn't my foot, but it looks much like that.

Enough about that... I am sitting here watching a good Michigan vs Michigan State football game. At the half, Michigan is leading 24-21. They should be leading by more but they took part of the second quarter off. Later this evening I'm going bowling, if you live in the area you should join our league, we need 2 teams of 4 still and you've only missed 2 weeks. We bowl every other week at Fountainview at 6pm. Just show up, it's mixed league 2 men and 2 women per team, and it's just for fun.

I had to shower. Now I'm dressed. Later I will look for something to talk about that might be interesting.

Sparty on!
