Not much action today, y'all must be getting ready for the big football contest on Sunday.....

What's a football?

Here, this will 'splain it for you!

I got the flu ......... fucking snowbirds......

So sorry to hear you not feeling 100% Gabor!
I have many sick friends, bummer.

Get well soon Bro!!!

I think it is that game where all those guys run around kicking a ball and ripping off their shirts and cuddling each other when they score (and after the game)

Don't forget the celebratory butt slapping......

Did anyone see the tennis in Australia when the Macenroes played ivanisovic and cash....

I don't watch tennis, but I saw this bit and it was hysterical

At one stage they were heading the ball over the net soccer style.... and at one stage all of the ball boys grabbed the spare raquets and there was about 8 people playing on the one court with 3 balls (at least)

Was alot of fun...



Oh, and when Macenroe Snr got cpr on the court.....

That was a real showmanship right there!!!!

At one stage Ivanosivic was chatting up the woman from the audience with his back to the court and cash was playing the 2 Macenroes......

Cash starts hitting little close to the net shots and jumping over the net and hitting it back, then jumping back to his side and hitting it over the net again....

A couple of times 2 would be slogging it backwards and forwards and the other 2 sat on their rackets and looked at their watches....

At one stage, Jnr Mac was on the phone to his wife and playing at the same time (quite well) .... you could see her on the phone screen.... was skype or something.....

Like I said, I cant stand tennis, but that was awesome.

That was about midnight near the end of the Australian Open.... that is why alot of seats are empty.... They all had mikes on too, so Ivanisovic was telling Cash how to hit the ball and other useful information.... John even had a pretend tantrum and was saying to the umpire... "What do you mean IN??" Instead of OUT!! and a couple of times while they were waiting for the 'official result" with the hawke eye they all sat on the string end of their racquets like golf chairs and waited with their arms crossed

And one time 2 of them were close to the net and like playing pitter patter... slower and slower, then just rolled the tennis ball of one racquet to the other who just rolled it back

It is so KuuuuL when folks can laugh at themselves

Oh, you mean the other football where guys in crash helmets run into each other?

I used to work with a guy who was born in Aus, then lived in the US from about 3yo to about 30 or so... he drove a 67 pillarless impala (lemon yellow) and at lunch time he would get out his gridiron ball.... he could throw the dang thing so easy and a long way.... we would all try and nearly dislocate shoulders and do serious injury to ourselves (the ball going 10' if lucky) and he would say "No, like this" and throw it about 50 yards or something ridiculous.... dang annoying

Someone would hold up an empty trash can at about 40 yards and Derek would launch the ball and 9 times out of 10 it went in the trash can.... Amazing accuracy

And he made it look so effortless

SuperBowl...pffft.

If I'm gonna sit on my ass glued to the TV, the Science Channel is running episodes of "How It's Made" all day long.
Always some neat stuff to learn in those shows.

Note: If you like hot dogs, you may want to skip that episode.

Cool Mike!
I like "how it is made" I also watch documentaries at lunch at work....I watched one this week about the Russians stealing the B-29 superfortress, 3 had to make emergency landings there during WWII and they copied them rivet for rivet....

I love those shows like 'how its made' and 'how do they do it' ..... it is fascinating the machinery and processes things go thru to get made....

Speaking of which ( ) I watched how they make pringles stacking chips the other day... dang.... hungry now


I just stuffed my snakes with dead rats tonight too.... some of them, it is like loading a pump action.... just poke them in one after the other until no more go in.... they are all sleeping peacefully now

What kind of snakes you got?

They are all pythons.... 6 in all..... a 3m Queensland carpet python. a 2m Bredli (red like the outback colors) a Murray Darling python almost 2m and three spotted pythons around 1.5m

They are my own dinosaurs

Glad I aint a rat, that's FFS...

I know I have been absent lately and I am sorry about that.
I got a good reason......
Just occupies my every minute

That would only be a snack for Montgomery (Monty for short)

Actually, poor Monty has a 2 level enclosure.... he was on the bottom floor when he ate 4 rats (360g each) and last night I found him stuck in the hole between his floors.... there was a huge bulge of rats that he couldn't squeeze thru the hole snake.... he saw me looking at him and just looked like "I used to fit??"

He finally got thru tho.... he had to move one rib at a time to squeeze thru.... Now I have to work out how to make the hole bigger without him eating me

Man, what a cute little princess

That is one happy and cute baby girl!

Seems like I can't spend enough time with her. I am so blessed to have a chance to be part of her life while growing up.
