Ooooh Scary Bunny Man

you-make-bunny-cry

I turn the TV on because at 1 I watch Enterprise then Atlantis then SG-1.  Scariest Places on Earth is on and this woman is terrified to go in this tunnel in Rome because she is told the tale of a scary bunny man and if you say his name 3 times he appears.  She says it and then all of a sudden screams while running away and she falls lol.

Oh come on people, do you believe everything they tell you?  Look at that cute wittle bunny wabbit, he's not gonna hurt you.

So I go to YouTube to find the clips from that episode to put in here but all I find are these videos for "The Bunny Man" in a small town in Fairfax County called Clifton in Northern Virginia.

No I haven't watched it because Enterprise is on and I'm MISSING IT!  LOL I've seen every episode so that's ok.  But I'm not going to watch it (bunnyman legend video) because it's too funny to believe.  Call me close minded, call me skeptical or a cynic.  But if someone tells you about a scary bunnyman who lives in a bridge well, I have a bridge I would like to sell you.  It's in Brooklyn and it's called the Brooklyn Bridge, I won't ask for much for it because it's a little old.  Or maybe I should ask for a lot since it's an antique.  Get your checkbooks out.

I had something similar happen.  I got a call from my aunt telling me that my grandmother was dying and she asked for me so I took the Amtrak bus down to Palmdale, CA and spent a week with my family until my grandmother passed away.  After she passed away I checked my email and this friend of mine had sent me a few emails just yelling at me for ignoring her.

I emailed her before I left telling her that I was going to be gone for a week and she thought I would have internet access where I was going.  My aunt had dial up and it's not cool to go to someones house and tie their phone line up so I just didn't read email at all.  I had my cell phone on the whole time and I would talk to Chip which was the most important person I needed to talk to, nobody else.

So I told her that I was visiting my aunts and that my grandmother had just died.  I think she sent me 2-4 emails and was basically very cross with me in all of them for ignoring her lol.  She ended the friendship but when I finally emailed her and told her what happened she was sorry for saying all of those things.  We're still friends but it took a long time for her to realize that I wasn't going away and she would have to just deal with it lol.

Brock Baker - Pooped My Pants

Try to watch this without peeing in your pants.  If you can watch this and not laugh you are probably dead inside.  This guy does these voices and at this point in his life I don't think he's trying anymore, he's just programmed to do them without even thinking.

Premium M&M's

mandm-premium-box-mocha-216x300I'm not a rich man, not by any means so when I buy M&M's I have to buy them when they are on sale.  So when I was at the grocery store looking for the cheap candy I noticed that the premium M&M's had a clearance on the Mocha flavor for $1.79.

They are kind of strange looking.  It's kind of like a bronze color with brown flecks.  Normally when I eat M&M's if they are the plain I suck on it until it dissolves completely.  That way I get the taste for a lot longer.  These are different.  The shell has no flavor at all.  It's kind of like sucking on a marble.  So my instinct is to just bite down and chew it.

It tastes good.  I love anything that is coffee flavored and this is Mocha so it works for me.  But like I said, it had a clearance tag on it.  What does that mean?  It means they no longer make it and they are on sale to get rid of them.  I know this for a fact because I went to the M&M's website and they don't even have this flavor listed anymore.  I had to do a search just for the photo to add to this blog post.

So after this bag is finished (give me 5 minutes lol) I'm never going to buy them again because they are about $4 at the store at their regular price and that's a bit too rich for my blood for candy.

You Don't Get Paid for Bottles? Whaaat?

I am talking to a friend that I have known for many cycles.  We've been online buds since 1997 when I first got online and was using AOSmell going into the Astronet Chatrooms.

We are talking about recycling.  I was telling her about how much I get paid here in Bakersfield, CA for recycling cans as opposed to how much I get paid to recycle 2 liter bottles.  She lives in St. Louis, Missouri and she informs me that she gets money for recycling the cans but they don't allow them to profit off of 2 liter bottles yet they charge her .05¢ on top of the regular cost to buy a 2 liter bottle.

This is just another example of how "the man" is trying to screw you out of your hard earned money.

This is what I asked her:
Mike

ok just so I get my facts straight...


you can recycle 2 liter bottles but they don't allow you to make any money? yet they allow you to make money from recycling cans correct?


and they make you pay for the blue recycling cans and make you recycle?



Susan

right you don't get money from any plastics at all you can get money for cans it is like 30 cents a pound for cans but nothing for any plastics we have to have them recycled and picked up by the contracted trash company for the city. some cities don't even get a choice



Are you listening America?  They don't even give you a choice in some cities.  They charge you .05¢ for the bottles yet they don't give it back to you.  That's what the point of the California Redemption Value (CRV) is, that's why they charge us the .05¢, so you will recycle it, so you may get your change back.

I was at the grocery store yesterday where I bought a 12 pack of diet Dr. Chill (a new albertson's generic brand lol) and it was on sale for $2.67 which was the only reason I bought it in the first place then the total was over $3 and I was like what?  I thought it was $2.67 and she said CRV and she pointed on the screen that it shows .60¢ CRV charge.  That's .05¢ per can.  Yeah, you are damned right I'm recycling that shit.

Since I don't even read the newspaper I shouldn't have an opinion but I think having a newspaper that looks like a tabloid is weird.  That one that this guy is reading looks so thin, why do they even bother printing the news if it's that small?  Why not just abandon the newspaper altogether if you can't even print it a respectable size?

Or, and this is just a suggestion, why not have more stories to tell?  First they shrink the newspaper down now they are shrinking it way down and stapling it.

I don't know, I think it looks neat because it's smaller and probably easier to hold since it's all stapled like a tabloid so it's not falling apart while you are reading it and when you go to read the different sections you don't have to fidget with all that paper.

But still, it doesn't look like a newspaper.  It looks too strange to be a newspaper.  How are all the spies supposed to hide their face when they are holding what looks like a tabloid?  Now if you are holding it up to your face people will know you are trying to hide your face because you are holding your arms high up to cover your face.  It just doesn't look right.
