Bigfoot Body Revealed to Be Halloween Costume

Tuesday, August 19, 2008

So it really was a rubber suit after all.

Last week's excitement over a supposed Bigfoot body, which culminated Friday in a circus-like press conference in Palo Alto, Calif., collapsed like a wet soufflé Sunday as an independent investigator determined it was all fake.

SearchingforBigfoot.com owner Tom Biscardi had paid an "undisclosed sum" — Internet rumors put it at $50,000 — to Georgia residents Matthew Whitton and Rick Dyer for their frozen "corpse" and the privilege of trotting them, but not the body, out in front of TV cameras.

At the same time, Biscardi sent self-described "Sasquatch detective" Steve Kulls to a secret location — apparently Muncie, Ind. — to check out the specimen.

Kulls, it's safe to say, was severely disappointed.

The upshot? Bigfoot, once found, is now again missing. So are Whitton, Dyer and Biscardi's money.

In a long statement on SearchingforBigfoot.com, Kulls reveals what he found early Sunday morning Eastern time as the body thawed out.

"I extracted some [hair] from the alleged corpse and examined it and had some concerns," Kulls writes. "We burned said sample and said hair sample melted into a ball uncharacteristic of hair."

Kulls called Biscardi in California, who told him to heat the body to speed up thawing.

"Within one hour we were able to see the partially exposed head," Kulls continues. "I was able to feel that it seemed mostly firm, but unusually hollow in one small section. This was yet another ominous sign."

Then came the clincher.

"Within the next hour of thaw, a break appeared up near the feet area. ... I observed the foot which looked unnatural, reached in and confirmed it was a rubber foot."

That jibes with what Jerry Parrino, owner of Internet Halloween-costume retailer TheHorrorDome.com, told FOXNews.com last week.

"It definitely looks like our [Sasquatch] costume," Parrino said after viewing photos of the body.

The Biscardi team immediately went into crisis mode. Biscardi called Whitton and Dyer at their California hotel.

They admitted it was a hoax and agreed to sign a promissory note at a meeting set for 8 a.m. Pacific time at the hotel.

But when Biscardi got there, he "found that they had left."

"At this time action is being instigated against the perpetrators of this fraud," Kulls writes on Biscardi's Web site. "On behalf of myself I can say with certainty Matthew Whitton and Ricky Dyer [are] not the best Bigfoot trackers in the world!"

Loren Coleman, who runs the influential Cryptomundo.com Web site devoted to mysterious animals, isn't buying Biscardi's pleas of ignorance.

"He's a huckster, a circus ringmaster," Coleman told FoxNews.com. "It's all about money with him. It probably didn't matter to him whether it was real or not."

So why would Dyer, described as a former security guard, and Whitton, a police officer with the Clayton County, Ga., department, make it all up?

"They probably started out small, as a way to promote their Bigfoot tracking business, and got in way over their heads," Coleman figured. "These are not very intelligent individuals."

The involvement of Biscardi, who Coleman says was introduced to the pair by Kulls, brought them attention they didn't need.

"In a way, both sides may have been trying to out-con each other," said Coleman.

The Bigfoot Field Research Organization, another Bigfoot group that refused to take seriously what Coleman dubbed the "Georgia gorilla," wants everyone connected with the "body" — Biscardi, Dyer, Kulls and Whitton — arrested.

"Warrants need to be issued immediately before Biscardi leaves the country," the organization's Web site states.

As for Whitton, he doesn't seem to have a job to come back to in Georgia.

Asked for comment on Officer Whitton, Clayton County, Ga., Chief of Police Jeffrey Turner, corrected FoxNews.com. "You mean ex-officer Whitton."

"As soon as we saw it was a hoax," Chief Turner explained, "I filed the paperwork to terminate his employment."

Turner said he hasn't heard from Whitton, and that he was mystified at the former officer's involvement in such a blatant scam.

"He was a real go-getter," Turner said, citing Whitton's wounding in the line of duty earlier this summer while apprehending a suspect who had allegedly shot a woman in the head. "For someone to do a complete three-sixty like that, I can't explain it."

The woman who answered the phone at Biscardi's Searching for Bigfoot office in Menlo Park, Calif., said he was out ill but would return calls when he could.

19th-Aug-2008 07:03 pm - Glasses!
hmm I can't seem to find my glasses.  I was wearing them last night when I drove to Brian's so I know they have to be around but I didn't leave them on the boat.  They must be in the car but I don't seeeeeee them.

argh.

Working on a computer without my glasses is a sad state of affairs.
19th-Aug-2008 05:47 pm - Garfield, Callendar's, Tropic Thunder, PACT
 ohh hmm.  The weekend.

Saturday night was a bust.  Hunter was here and that was great but I had a bad headache for no good reason even despite the Excedrine.  We went to bed at 11pm.  Sunday morning we didn't have enough time to do a whole lot so what time we did have we just chilled out and entertained each other.  He's still addicted to "Garfield Gets Real" and... ugh... hating that movie.

Sunday afternoon, Brian and I went to Callendar's (yes, we go there a lot.  Actually, our second date was there and they sat us in the same booth on Sunday.  Everytime I go in there I think of our second date and how I was there first and I saw his Range Rover stop at the light and pull into the parking lot while we were texting each other on our phones... awww).  

After lunch we went to see "Tropic Thunder" in the theater.  The theater with the plushy leather soft great seats.  oooooooh that's always nice.  EXCEPT this woman sat next to me... a theater-goers nightmare.  She didn't just laugh.  No.  She CACKLED.  She didn't just cackle.  No.  She CACKLED loudly at EVERYTHING even if it wasn't fucking funny.  The opening title?  **CACKLE**  Lead character says "Hey what's up?"  **CACKLE**  **CACKLESLAPKNEE**  Helicoptor flies by on the screen.  **CACKLECACKLESLAPCHAIRohmygodthatissofunnyCACKLE!**

Srsly.

I mean, I am one of the most non-confrontational people ever but I was openly staring at her, a foot away from her head, in disbelief, just waiting for her to wonder why I was glaring at her  She didn't notice, naturally.

Somehow through all of that I managed to discover that "Tropic Thunder" was very funny.  Of course it goes without saying that Robert Downey Jr. was just hysterical.  Most of the time you just can't tell it's him.  And Tom Cruise.... genius on his part.  He really needed to do something funny.  He got applause at the end of the movie.

Monday I went into work early because I had to leave early for a mandatory parenting and divorce class.  Everyone going through a divorce with custody issues in California has to go to one of them.  I was dreading it because it's 3 hours and I THOUGHT it was going to be like "Which is the best answer?  If you want to discipline your child do you A) hit them with a hose  B) put them in a time out  C) Lock them in a closet or D) Give them a cookie?"

I didn't want to be patronized.  I know I'm a good mom.  Not perfect, because no one is, but I'm pretty durned good.  The class turned out to be a lot more helpful than that and talked about how to talk to kids about divorce and issues, what kids of different ages need in a divorce, how to deal with the other parent effectively, etc.  The speaker was engaging which was essential because 3 hours of droning would have been horrible.  All in all - I was very happy about it and it went by quickly.

I think the stress of everything is keeping me awake.  After such a busy day yesterday, Brian and I went to bed at 10pm.  I didn't fall asleep until 12:30am and I woke up at least 8 times until the alarm clock went off at 6am.  This was nothing unusual.  I'm just tired during the day and that might be part of the reason for my headache on Saturday.  

Can't wait until things are more stable.

Talked to my mom today for almost an hour.  I'm so lucky to be so close to my mother.  She gives good ear!

Work is caaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhrazy!  For the September 11th meeting, he boss has a 9,000 page powerpoint presentation for me to do, another DM has a presentation for me, the fine wine manager has one for me, the account manager and I am certain someone else will sneak up on me to ask me to do theirs at the last minute.  I still have to finish the September pricing books by Tuesday of next week, have to work on the OND books which cover the rest of the year by mid-September, we have the first Monday of September OFF and then the second week of September I will be in court for at least a day and a half and so not at work.  I know I'll be going in SUPER early a few times in the next month and a half.

Looking forward to Labor Day off, though.  :)

19th-Aug-2008 04:14 pm - Ports in Scandinavia?
Hey guys! My mother and I are planning a cruise for northern europe next summer and being a compulsive planner, I'm already reading up on the cities we'll be visiting---Stockholm, Helsinki, Tallinn, and Oslo. My question to you is this: how far away are the main sights from the cruise ship docking area? I'm the sort of person who would rather explore things on my own, but my mom is worried that we'll end up getting lost/bumbling around/etc if we don't go on a cruise designated excursion.

Annnd while I'm asking questions, what's the best thing to see in Stockholm if you only have an afternoon? I've been looking through my guide book and there are too many cool things to choose...

Any insight would be greatly appreciated! I've never been anywhere in Scandinavia and I'm pretty excited :)

19th-Aug-2008 01:42 pm - I have spent my life preparing for a disaster that never happens.
Here I am, sandbagged in, my cash and valuables in reach for a scramble, the trade-goods bottles of alcohol at the ready to purchase whatever I need, the ammunition counted...and the storm, instead of strengthening to a reasonable hurricane, is fizzling and going away to the south-east.

This is how I have spent much of my life. I have variously prepared for nuclear wars, ice ages, the Depression, innumerable storms, hurricanes, riots, famine, floods, and pestilence. But every time I think "This is it, surely The Worst is imminent!" the proffered disaster fails to arrive and I'm left with canned goods and leftover incohate anxiety.

What I can't prepare for is good weather and calm times. Something in me will not ever believe that a disaster is not just about to strike.

Does anyone have any recommendations about visiting Belgrade? Good experiences? Bad experiences? How is the nightlife? I've read some good things but I'd like to hear some personal accounts. I do love to have fun when I'm on vacation. :)

What is the best time of year to go? How would someone fare there knowing no Serbian, but can communicate in English, Spanish, and French? What are some must-sees?

Thanks in advance!
17th-Aug-2008 01:42 pm - Three photos found in a bible
  • I love the first one of these three I thought to myself I wonder what was going on in this lady's life at the point the photo was taken, first thing was is she in mourning to me it looks like she's in widows clothes and if she is in mourning could it be for the person that is on her locket ( after scanning I enlarged the photo to get better look at the locket and the book she has her elbow on) then after I saw the name of the book it made me think was she really in mourning because if she was would she be reading the book " Last of the Mohicans" which was first published Jan 1826 this kinda dates the photo (I also wondered if this was a first edition) the bible is dated 1837.
    The second photo was taken in Hull of two children with all these photos being together in the bible could these children belong to the lady in the first photo?
    The third photo is of an older couple I can't connect them to the other two photos or could it be possible the older couple are the children grown up!!.

Eich got bitten by a moth today, one of the Calyptra genus. It landed on his hand and punched a hole with its proboscis and drank his blood. This is possibly the weirdest thing that has happened in a week, which goes to show you how uneventful life has been.

I've been randomly obsessed with this song for perhaps a week, perhaps a little longer. The video, however... it reminds me randomly of Portal, for various and sundry reasons that I think have a lot to do with electronic ladyvoices...

possibly nsfw )

Also, somewhere in the world, FANGS have been sprouting and becoming quite razor sharp, lately...

18th-Aug-2008 01:38 pm - Cornwall
Well, I've been living in the UK for almost a year and have spent so much time backpacking that I still haven't seen much of this country!

Does anyone have recommendations of places to go along the Cornish Coast? I'm not really a nightclub kinda girl and I doubt I could try surfing, so I'd just like somewhere to spend a few days with nice beaches, shops to stroll around in, anything else that's interesting to see. If anyone has a favourite hostel I'd really appreciate recommendations on that too.

Thanks very much. :)

17th-Aug-2008 10:18 am - The gender differences between sun signs
 Aries
The Aries Female is an energetic, flirtatious force of nature who wants to be swept off her feet and cherished, but will step on your toes the minute she feels she is being smothered. She is most attracted to good looking, successful lovers who are capable of boosting her not-insignificant self-esteem. If you can't keep up (or lose!) her interest, she will quickly leave you behind in a cloud of dust, having traded you in for a pricier, showier model. If you have won the heart of an Aries woman, be prepared that she can be jealous, competitive, and downright cruel! On the flip side, she is capable of complete loyalty and will demand that you give her the same.


The Aries Male is a dynamic go-getter who wants to be overwhelmed by passion and emotion, and cannot stand for things to become complacent or routine. He likes his partners to be powerful and motivated, beautiful, and the sexual equivalent of a tornado. His hair-triggered anger and self-righteous attitude can take some getting used to, but he does cool down as quickly as he heats up. Boredom is the quickest way to make him stray, but that is only if you've proven exciting enough to get a commitment out of him in the first place.


Taurus
The Taurus Female is as strong of heart as she is of mind. She tends to hide her own vulnerabilities, usually by immersing herself more deeply into nurturing those she loves. She is drawn to partners who are her equal (or better!) on the material plane - ones that offer up some type of guarantee for the future, like a wedding ring. She most likely will appear prim-and-proper out in public, but can be quite the wild child behind closed doors. She is as stubborn as she is loving, and finds it easy to get stuck in her ways. The concept of give-and-take sometimes passes her by, and she can be possessive to the point of oppression.


The Taurus Male is a mountain of integrity and strength, loyal and loving. He has a habit of seeing things as either black or white, so while he may be discussing, you may be arguing in an attempt to get him to change his views. He expects the same level of loyalty that he gives, and will toss a flirty lover to the curb for flirting with anyone other than him - his piles of erotica don't count as an indiscretion from his viewpoint. Anything he may be lacking in an adventuresome spirit sexually, is made up for by his sexual appetite.


Gemini
The Gemini Woman is witty, charming, intelligent, and almost always at least ten minutes late. She is more attracted to a high IQ than any physical trait. She enjoys candlelight, but romance can bloom in broad daylight if the conversation is scintillating enough. This is not a woman adept at expressing her innermost feelings, and is likely to crack a joke until the serious moment passes. She wants security and stability in love, and a lover who is actually going to understand her, or at least treat her warmly when they don't.


The Gemini Male is an introverted extravert. Charisma, humor, and intellect may be the image he projects, but no matter how close you get - you can never be quite certain what is on his mind. He wants a partner who shows just enough emotion to validate that he is awesome, but not too much emotion that it will become complicated. He is seriously committed to remaining uncommitted, unless he stumbles across a super-achiever who can keep up with the conversation, reach their own goals without his assistance, and be packed and ready to go on an adventure at the drop of a dime. That, in his mind, is an amore worth considering.


Cancer
The Cancer Female is an alluring beauty, whose gentleness and caring nature tends to be welcomed in any crowd. She believes that love is the secret to life, and the more dreamy and romantic, the better. Sentimentality is a way of life. She is demure and erotic, and wants a lover who will commit, commit, commit! Her moods swings can be quite the challenge, and she can throw an Oscar-worthy tantrum when she doesn't get her way. When this feminine seductress snares her partner, her attention and affection makes them want to stay.


The Cancer Male is a romantic's dream, who plays the part of courtier well. He is honest and devoted, and when his heart melts, his every breath is drawn in to be with the one that he loves. He is very protective and can be equally as possessive, often becoming jealous of time spent with friends, relatives, or even the family dog. He wants a partner who swoons at the sight of him, is part mind-reader, (his lover is supposed to intuitively know why he is sulking) and who will find joy simply in being the center of his world.


Leo
The Leo Woman tends to be successful, self-assured, and at times more than a little flamboyant - but no more so than a queen has a right to be. She is attracted to attractive, adventurous lovers who will share the stage with her - as long as they don't try and steal the spotlight! Her sexual prowess can keep you smiling with her adventuresome spirit, but please don't ask her to get kinky. She will not live with tyranny - even though she is as likely as any man to flawlessly play the role of the tyrant. Leo women know that they deserve the best of everything, and aren't afraid to sample many kinds of varieties when on the prowl for true love.


The Leo Male is strong and affectionate, with a magnetic personality filled with fun and good cheer. He tends to be very generous, and successful enough to recover from his sprees without skipping a beat. He is attracted to beauty in all forms of lovers, specifically the ones who are adept at adoring him. In bed, the King of Beasts will live up to the title, but before you're done purring, he's probably raiding the fridge or making a sandwich. This man will give away his heart away fully and with great ease, but from time to time he is likely to forget with whom he left it!


Virgo
The Virgo Female really is filled with purity and virtue, but also knows how to cut loose and have a good time - when she's not over-analyzing the smallest aspects of life. This lady is always in control - at least of herself. In her world, there is a time, place, and order to everything - and her love and trust must be earned or won. She is most attracted to neat and tidy lovers whose philosophical intellect can challenge her own. She is cautious with her emotions, but when she chooses to release her passion, she removes the virginal misconception with the subtlety of a raging forest fire. This is a supersensitive woman with many facets of character, who constantly strives for perfection in herself, life and love.


The Virgo Male is the industrious sort who finds work to be oddly exciting. He's the one who is just as likely to softly grin caressing the finish of his new file cabinet the way others would the curve of a lover's hip. Always searching for ways to improve things, he tends to be attracted to people who need his help or guidance in some way, but they must also be intelligent and competent in their own right. He tends to look at love with the same zest and vigor as any other work to be done. In other words, love is meant to be shaped into perfect harmony (well, almost perfect!). He is selfish and selfless, and can freeze an active volcano or melt the polar ice caps, depending on the day. But with a partner who loves him compassionately, his devotion grows every day.


Libra
The Libra Female is warm and womanly... artistic and elegant. She can come home from work and whip out an intimate dinner for 20 that rivals any gala. She can find something attractive in every person, place, or thing - and still believes that Prince Charming will come riding into her life on a snow-white steed. Until they show up, any lover who shows interest and has even a liberal understanding of romance is definitely worth consideration, especially if they are packaged into a hot body. A good woman, she tries to anticipate her lover's needs, sometimes forgetting that air and personal space are amongst them. The greatest challenge for the Libra Female is realizing that a clinging vine tends to strangle, but when she's content with herself alone in life, she is the most desirable flower.


The Libra Male is the life of the party, the kind of guy you just want to be around. Strong of mind, body, character and success, he tends to have a playboy past and is likely to throw over the latest bubble-headed beauty for a quiet, loyal, sweetheart who may turn a few less heads (but can intellectually hold their ground). For all that he is, and all that he has achieved, he tends to have abandonment issues that can run fairly deep. His deepest desire is to complete himself with the one he loves, and if it takes a hundred tries before they get it right - he'll just keep on trying!


Scorpio
The Scorpio Female is an unwinding mystery, sometimes even to herself. She is strong yet soft, kind, compassionate, intuitive, alluring and shy. She can rise to any challenge, claim victory without rubbing it in, and love so deeply that it scares herself. Sexually, there are no boundaries, no limits to the games she'll play (sex is power!) but she's very selective with the few that can experience her feminine wiles. She is attracted to a partner who is intelligent as well as wise, attractive and enigmatic. While the Scorpio female can be quite possessive, she prefers that her freedoms be unrestrained. The person who falls for Ms. Scorpio's embrace will never be the same. Once you know the rules, you understand it is her game.


The Scorpio Male tends to be physically alluring and intellectually frustrating. He always knows the answer before he asks the question, he just wants to see how you'll respond. His sexuality can excite the coldest, stillest waters of any pond, and yet sex is not the mission with the ones with whom he shares his charm. He is attracted to partners who are independent but loyal, intelligent, but not too inquisitive. Even the most committed Scorpio man has a way of making a lover wonder. He is pride and mystery, and if he doesn't choose to drive you mad with silence and intrigue, he is likely to sweep you just far enough off your feet that you'll be holding on for life - even after he's long gone.


Sagittarius
The Sagittarius Female can light up a room, simply by stepping in to it. Charming, witty, outgoing, and hilariously fun, this woman may not be sure in what direction her life is going, but she will make the most of scenery along the way! She is independent and impulsive, and her idea of romance is a week-long adventure - but you can bring champagne and roses if you want to. She is attracted to active, intelligent, and optimistic lovers who thrive as much as she does venturing into the unknown. She can make an insult sound like a compliment, and to her, "apology" is some foreign and undiscovered word. You may not know where the Sagittarius female is going, but fun and chaos will mark where she's been.


The Sagittarius Male is charming enough to teach a snake to samba, and equally as intriguing to be around. He is upbeat and ingenious, and some may say even a bit unorthodox, but definitely someone you like to be around. Lovers tend to overwhelm him, (they don't understand that a commitment has a lifespan of about two weeks) but he'll happily thrill you with humor and romance as long as it's still a chase. The person he catches tends to quickly be re-released into the dating wild. The Sagittarius man is like an over-grown boy, who will claim to be invincible, right up until he's put in his grave.


Capricorn
The Capricorn Female is an energetic workaholic who is always on the move. This accomplished femme fatale is one of the most kind-hearted, loyal, and caring pessimists that you could ever meet. Her sense of self-worth is what makes her strive tirelessly for success, but it also is what allows her to fall for some pretty superficial romantic situations. While she wants a self-sufficient, warm and caring partner - she often falls prey to false hopes and promises formed by attractive lips. She is a sensitive creature whose feelings can easily be hurt, but has a problem recognizing that her own finesse is often delivered with the gentleness of a 10 pound sledgehammer at full swing. Logic, emotion, and drama rule and fuel her world, but being on her "good side" is a very good place to be, because while she will forgive - she is less likely to let you forget.


The Capricorn Male exudes strength and endurance, professionally as well as in the bedroom. He tends to be quite accomplished, and looks for attractive partners who can hold a conversation but pale in comparison with his own intelligence. With an agreeable lover, he can spend less energy controlling and manipulating, which frees his time to shower them with the finer things in life, because they have met his expectations and deserve to be pampered and rewarded.


Aquarius
The Aquarius Female is a dreamy, analytical, friendly person, who either enchants or scares those she meets. At work or play, there is a calm intensity about her that can endear or overwhelm, but never fails to make an impression. She is most attracted to lovers of a like-mind, those who value honesty, humanity, the world, and all the life forms in it. One of the best listeners out there, Ms. Aquarius often fails to ask for what she wants or needs, because she'll just assume she won't get it. Marriage is security, and she has idealistic views of both.


The Aquarius Male has the mind of inventor, the intellect and vocabulary of the most esteemed professor. All things new and developmental exist to be pondered and explored, his thirst and ability to absorb knowledge and theory is profound. He tends to appear serene and collected, at times eccentric or standoffish, but this is merely the wrapper for a humane and kind soul. He is most attracted to freedom loving partners who have kind hearts and empathetic souls. While life is but a playground for the Aquarius male, his loyalty and devotion to his chosen one hinges on the respect of his ideals and space - without fail.


Pisces
The Pisces Female is usually a soft-spoken, tender-hearted woman "in love with love" and romance. She has the soul and vision of an artist whose temperament is more prone to tears than tantrums. She has a vital and sensual sense of humor, and her charisma is quite beguiling. Because she believes in romantic love, she often gravitates toward the playboy, often not noticing the stability offered by a less-fairytale type of lover. She believes there is good in all, but often fails to recognize her own inner strength. The female Pisces who is begging to be rescued is the one most likely to be scraping egg off her face.


The Pisces Male has a healthy respect for life, particularly when seen through his humorous eyes. He is the modern-day mystic, sans the tranquility training. He is charming and romantic, beautifully surreal. He can be obsessive and moody one minute - at times pouring out his soul - and the next, be extremely still and private. He loves deeply, and emotionally, and can find himself easily attached - but always searching for new level of intensity. He is most attracted to beautiful people who are strong enough to keep him in line, and smart enough to do so privately with respect and compassion. The Pisces male is notorious for wanting what he can't have, and sometimes living in the melancholy memory (or bottle!) of the past he's left behind.

How long does it take you to get ready to go somewhere?
Takes me 20 minutes to get ready for work.  10 minutes to go to the store.  An hour to go see Brian.

How old are you?
36

Do you like dogs? 
I like most animals.  I used to be more of a cat person until I met Nanuq.  He turned me into a dog person.  I miss that dog a lot.

With Brian and Hunter.

When is the last time you colored in a coloring book?
I can't even remember.

Hunter's HotWheel cars rolling around on the wooden coffee table. 

Do you know anyone who is a Hannah Montana fan?
No.

Are you a funny person?
I don't think so.  I am pretty lame.

Hot and sweaty.  But really I cry everytime I see that commercial about the starving polar bear cubs.  :(

I hate that bitch.  Geez what kind of question is that?  How do most people feel about their best friends???

Do you believe that music is your life?
I used to think so.
I sitll like to use it as an escape when I need one.

Oh yeah.

I smoked the occasional clove cigarette when I was gawth.

Would you rather be called hot, cute or awesome?
Awesome.

Do you prefer ice cream or cake?
It depends on my mood.

Have you ever been in serious trouble by the law? 
Nope.  I've never even gotten a speeding ticket. 

Travel by bike or walk?
Well - another stupid question.  Who the hell comes up with these?  Wouldn't this question depend on the situation and the distance needed to be travelled??

Yes, religion exists.

It's all relative.
16th-Aug-2008 05:08 pm - Yum Yum, gym, Tudors, Dexter, nappy time
 Hunter and I went to Yum Yum donuts this morning for a breakfast donut.  No, we don't usually do that but I needed to go grocery shopping for cereal and milk and planned on doing that later in the day so I decided a breakfast donut wouldn't hurt anyone.  We even ate it there.  That made him happy.

 After I dropped him off at his father's, I went to the gym for the first time in months.  I took it easy on myself and just burned 250 calories on the treadmill.  No need to freak myself out on the first day.  I'm going to make a point of going at least one night during the week.  I gained a couple pounds on the pill the past couple months and I will nip that in the bud immediately.  Never again the fat pants.  I'd have to be miserable to ever get into the fat pants again.

 Watched the season finale of season 1 of the Tudors today with May.  Season two isn't out on dvd yet.  :(  So next weekend I'll introduce may to Dexter.  The dvd had the first episode of Californication on it so we watched that, too.  Another show that comes back in September, I think, that I am excited about.

 Now I have a bit of a headache.  I think it's from laying funny on the futon in the living room.  I may take a brief nap before Hunter comes over.  I did get quite a bit accomplished today, grocery shopping, vacuuming, cleaning cat boxes, removing the biggest spider I've ever seen outside a cage that was hanging out just inside our front door before May saw it and had a heartattack, cleaning the hamster cage, going to Big Lots for Hunter's new favorite sodas (that Brian introduced us to), laundry, etc. etc.

A few weeks ago I helped one of my friends move, we found these in his old place in the storage/boiler room. No one living in the house knows her so one can only speculate to what's going on. Found in Chicago, Il.

16th-Aug-2008 03:35 am - What was that about Poland again?
Ja, I have nothing to say about this.

No, I have plenty to say about it. AND ALL OF IT LULZ!

But then there's times where the gallows begins to outweight the humor, and yeah.

Ja.
