Some more random items to share

I'm still working on a couple of posts that should be up shortly, most likely in the next couple of days. I'm in the middle of a busy month, but that is providing me with some material and ideas for new posts. Anyway, keep an eye out since I plan on updating often. For now, however ...

Grandfather kills leopard with his hands - I have to link to Fark.com, without which I would never have found this story (alright, Jason found this story but he wouldn't have seen it if it wasn't for Fark)

Edit (23:16 EST, 06/23/2005): The first link to the "Carolina News Owned" story will cause a couple of popups, so be warned. Also, I just attempted to view the story again and although it is still up I could not access any of the pictures, which were the real treats. I'll see if I can find them elsewhere. -Dracos

Edit (09:34 EST, 06/24/2005): And when I look at the Carolina story from work, the pictures come up fine. So give it a try anyway, if you haven't yet. -Dracos

Wait for it ...

Just wanted to write a quick note. I am working on a post for the end of this weekend. Might be a little bit different than what I usually say, but I hope people at least find it interesting. I'm heading out to the airport in a few minutes. I'm joining my family in going up to Ohio to visit my sister and her family. It is also my niece's birthday, so it should be a fun time. Have a good Father's Day this weekend, and I hope everyone is doing well.

Jesus has come, and he plays for Florida State University

Now, I hope this young man just went on a huge drinking binge and is not mentally unstable. I'd hate to be accused of poking fun at someone who is mentally unbalanced. But I do bleed Orange & Blue, so I use every opportunity I can to poke fun at FSU.

Pimpin' the band

I just thought I would pimp some of my friends' bands while I've got some space. I meant to do this at a much earlier time, but never got around to it.

Badstar - Badstar belongs in too many bands for me to count. However, here are some links to two of his group websites. And if I can find the link to his solo project, I'll post it later.

1. Midnight Bowlers League
2. Ladies of Deathrow Swimsuit Calendar
3. Tampa Has Crushed the Hopes of Us All

Garath - I have known Garath for a good part of my life, and although I've always known he has had a penchant for destruction by percussion instruments I have only recently discovered he is playing in a band of his own. I haven't gotten the chance to download and listen to any of their songs, but here's the site if you are interested.

1. Negative 8

Random thoughts ...

http://www.blogmaverick.com/entry/1234000270043583/ - I have always respected Mark Cuban. From everything I have ever read and/or heard about the man, he seems like a normal blue-collar guy despite his riches. And I admire his grasp of technolgy. So when I read stuff like this that he wrote, I only respect him more because it shows he still thinks like the common man.

http://www.daniellefisher.net/ - And on a related note, you can get more details about the above here.

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/8157849/ - Japan kicks ass! And soon, they will have robots that kick ass for them.


http://www.newturfers.com/mwf/attach/38/355838/BBCNEWSWorldLionMutilates42MidgetsinCambodianRing-Fight.htm - This may be the greatest faked news story I have ever read. And how do I know that it was faked ...
