Ok, all you sweetie-pie peoples out there…

My birthday wish…

If you’d like to do something for my birthday, I have an idea for a nice gift in honor of what I’m doing this week.

Think you could go one day without using just plant based products? No milk, no chicken, no creature bits?

That’s what I’d like you to do for me. (My birthday is a week from Friday, February 2nd)… It’s nice to animals, kind to the planet and good for you, too. If you would like to do so, let me know! Who knows? Maybe it’s something you’ll decide to do longer.

A good way to do this is to have a Peanut butter and banana sammich or some beans and rice, applesauce….. . (a good scotto tribute, anyhow…I loves my PB&nanners)

Don’t humans have to eat meat to stay healthy?

Both the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the American Dietetic Association have endorsed vegetarian diets. Studies have also shown that vegetarians have stronger immune systems than meat-eaters and that meat-eaters are almost twice as likely to die of heart disease, 60 percent more likely to die of cancer, and 30 percent more likely to die of other diseases. The consumption of meat and dairy products has been conclusively linked with diabetes, arthritis, osteoporosis, clogged arteries, obesity, asthma, and impotence. (so I have another reason to ask you to do this… I want you folks around for a while longer)

A nice link to vegan fast food is here, if you’re like me, and happen to eat out far too often.

If this isn’t your thing, or seems daunting… good wishes are always welcome too. 🙂

Newtilla the Red is on a primal tear tonight, playing at being some sort of dwarf sabre-toothed tiger. Note to kelliebellie… he is growing larger, but his head and tail are remaining the same length… can it be he’s mutating?

For Destroll….

I AM THE VERY MODEL OF A MAJOR SUPER-CRIMINAL

THE MASTER-MIND
I am the very model of a major super-criminal
My costume is impeccable, my inhibitions minimal
My plans for world dominion are both logical and sensible,
But only those who envy me dare call them reprehensible.
I’ve mass-destruction in my grasp, atomic and bacterical,
But sharpest yet my rapier wit is honed with barbs satyrical,
I’ve kryptonite, from green to white, for any such occasions
That I failed to factor Superman into my grand equations.

HENCHMEN
That he failed to factor Superman into my grand equations.
That he failed to factor Superman into my grand equations.
That he failed to factor Superman into my grand equations.

THE MASTER-MIND
Napoleon and Hitler were my gurus philosophical,
And Dr. Doom my mentor in my studies catastrophical,
I’ve added all the latest of improvements to my cranium,
From eyeballs periscopic to a coating of titanium.

HENCHMEN
He’s added all the latest of improvements to his cranium,
From eyeballs telescopic to a coating of titanium.

THE MASTER-MIND
Of killing I’m a master, from zoology insidious,
To film critique in ways unique, and ambuscades euclidious,
My soul was bartered long ago to creatures quite infernal,
A price I paid quite gladly in exchange for life eternal;

With each and every stratagem I’m nearer to my victory
Except for super-heroes with opinions contradictory;
They upset my calculations which annoys me without measure,
And upon my hordes of lackies must be vented my displeasure…

HENCHMEN
[gradually inching off the stage]
Upon his hordes of lackies must be vented his displeasure
Upon his hordes of lackies must be vented his displeasure
Upon his hordes of lackies must be vented his displeasure…

THE MASTER-MIND
I wriggle through the penal codes through circumstance extenuous,
By employing only barristers reptilian and sinuous;
I escape from federal prisons and dimensions quite ethereal,
In time for juice and coffee, and a modest bowl of cereal.

HENCHMEN
[from the wings]
In time for juice and coffee, and a modest bowl of cereal,
In time for juice and coffee, and a modest bowl of cereal,
In time for juice and coffee, and a modest bowl of cereal

THE MASTER-MIND
For all my vast resources I have yet to be victorious,
But triumph now is imminent; the carnage will be glorious,
At last I shall achieve my quest for power unequivocal:
I am the very model of a major super-criminal!

HENCHMEN
At last he shall achieve his quest for power unequivocal:
He is the very model of a major super-criminal!

Breaking news…

A sweet dual 833 NT machine was stolen over the weekend (after the major layoffs… ) most likely by someone with a key and door combinations.

2nd major theft, in recent memory…first one being a Nice laptop docking station a few months ago. I wonder if the culprit for both is the same, and if they’re still working here. My sympathy isn’t very high. security around here has been more of a goof than anything else. the numeric keypads just slow us down, and everyone knows the codes. (and in the main building, you can walk around one door to get in through an insecure one… go figure)

Looks like they called back and rehired some of the mail shop… Hoy and a few others are back, and I saw them making the mass exodus on Friday.

In other news, I still have to get stationary and some more trinkets for VAGG… Going to kick my tush into overdrive on that. I want to start mailing assorted Vallies out by Feb 01.
