OTFPOTD 2/27/09 - They say it's your birthday

Hurley_tiny by Phil Hatzenbuehler on

If today is your birthday, you share it with many important folks:

  • Chilli from the "R&B" group TLC
  • Tony Gonzalez, Tight End for the Kansas City Chiefs (sorry NOLA)
  • Matt Stairs
  • Adam Baldwin, awesome actor
  • James Worthy, former NBA player...loved those glasses, man
  • Neal Schon, guitarist for the band Journey...DON'T STOP BELIEVIN'!
  • [a political figure]
  • Liz Taylor
  • John Steinbeck, writer
  • Constantine I

Additionally, some very important things happened on this day:

  • 1974 - People magazine first published
  • 1951 - 22nd Amendment to the Constitution is ratified
  • 1844 - Dominican Republic gains independence from Haiti...yay Beltre!

In news, Rock Band is releasing Stevie Ray Vaughan's eponymous "Texas Flood" as a full album on Tuesday. I've never cared for Stevie's music, but I may pick up "Pride and Joy". We'll see I guess.

Ah, Constantine I - proclaimed emperor on the death of Constantius in Eboracum

what is now York. I find that fascinating. Emp. Septimius Severus also died at Eboracum, which was always interesting to me as well – Severus was born in what is now Libya, was a general in Eastern Europe, married a Syrian, became Emperor of Rome, sacked the Parthian capital in what is now Iraq, then moved to Hadrian’s wall in what is now Yorkshire. Lots of people moved a lot of places then, but it’s still sort of amazing. As is the idea that York was, in the grand scheme of things, a much more important place in 230-330ad than it is in 2009.

What kind of bear is best? Either a friendly gay one who respects boundaries or a panda.

I like brown bears, as they usually wont kill you.

But there is enough of a danger that it becomes very exciting to see one in the wild.

I've been hiking many times, and have yet to see a bear.

I’ve seen and smelled a fresh wallow, but that’s as close as I’ve been.

You sure it was a real brown bear? I'm pretty sure there's none

around Whatcom County. There’s reputed to be a few in the Okanagon, but they’re very shy and are never seen.

Keep in mind that one of the most common color of black bears is a brown color.

Last year, I saw four bears on three different occasions while hiking around Rainier.

Before that, I hadn’t seen a single one. They were all in August/September. I guess thats when they’re out getting ready for hibernation.

Reminds me of a joke (shocker!):

A hunter goes into the woods to hunt a bear and takes with him his trusty 22-gauge rifle.

After a little while, he spots a very large bear, takes aim, and fires. When the smoke clears, though, the bear is gone.

A moment later the bear taps this guy on the shoulder and says, “No one shoots at me and gets away with it. You have two choices: I can either rip your throat out and eat you alive, or you can drop your trousers, bend over, and I’ll have my way with you.”

The hunter figures that anything is better than death, so he drops his trousers, bends over, and the bear delivers on his promise.

After the bear leaves, the hunter pulls up his trousers and staggers into town vowing revenge.

He buys a much larger gun and returns to the forest. He sees the same bear, takes aim, and fires. When the smoke clears, the bear once again is gone. A moment later, the bear taps him on the shoulder and says, “You know what to do.”

Afterwards, the hunter pulls up his trousers and crawls back into town. Now he’s really mad, so he buys himself a bazooka.

He returns to the forest, sees the bear, aims, and fires.

When the smoke clears this time, the bear taps him on the shoulder and says, “You’re not REALLY here for the hunting are you?”

Chopped almost clean through my finger once.

Working at a glass place, and had a 10 deep stack of 15’x20’x1/4" (yes, correct dimensions) plates smash my finger up against a wall.

Amazingly, they got it back on.

Also, I have had a fellow arborist chop off half his hand, and had a climber have his jaw taken off by a breaking 1’ diameter branch. (Snapped on the top, the snap end came up and caught the underside of his jawbone.)
I’ve driven more bloody people to the hospital/met ambulances halfway from that job than any other. Those aren’t even the worst stories of the 6 short years I did logging and tree trimming, and my dad had many worse that what I had seen before he died by getting his rope chopped while 120’ up.
Lesson: Don’t let your kids climb trees for a living. No, really.

Also, if you get a chance to see that logging show on Discovery, do so. Everything there is true as shit, and not even the worst of what happens.

When I was 14, one of the first jobs I have was working at a shake mill out in Nielton(by Lake Quinault).

One day I was stacking shingles onto crates and binding them as the guy above me was cutting them with a bandsaw and throwing them down the chute. A little after noon or so, the dude screams. I look up and there’s blood everywhere A board had a knot in it that caught on the saw and pulled his hand in. Chewed right through three of his fingers.

Pretty well.

I was sure I’d never get it kneaded, once the extra ingredients went in, but it all came together into two large loaves.

One with gouda, parm, cheddar, basil, prosciutto & a little sun-dried tomato and the other with feta, parm, rosemary, a little basil & tomato, and kalamatas

the latter might have a titch too much salty goodness.

Have a nice weekend everyone.

This boy is heading out for an ice cold one (or five).

You've got to have scheduled breaks. Everyone knows that.

61/755: KGJ's homer totals, or Rosie O'Donnell's age/weight in 2019?

Actually I would think that for the general population of men

the closest they’ve coming to an orgy is a low-lit room, early adolescence, a gaggle of action figure toys scattered about, and a Victoria’s secret catalog.

I can think of worse ways to go.

Obscure artist of the day:

Monty Alexander. I saw him live at Lionel Hampton last night and holy shit his music is excellent. It’s a sort of jazz/reggae hybrid.

Holy Hell

My dad’s best friend was at a Phoenix Suns game last night and was selected to shoot a half-court shot during half-time.

He sunk it and won $77,777.

WOW

That was crazy. Although that said I once saw Mr Perfect perform a similar feat on Wrestling Challenge.

I was at Shea for the Felix-Slam!
Personal M's record: 5-4.

And, of course ....

Randy Winn has helped the Rays win some games by hitting home runs. Friday night, he hit a halfcourt shot at a Los Angeles Clippers game and won a new car. “I figured I’d just go out there and miss and that would be it,” Winn said.“No warmup, one shot from halfcourt, I was just hoping to hit the backboard. I just didn’t want an air ball.”

Instead Winn, who played college basketball at Santa Clara, banked the ball in, winning a Mitsubishi Lancer. Winn, who lives in northern California, was in the area for a players association meeting and decided to take a high school-aged cousin to the game. A Clippers staffer stopped them and asked Winn if he wanted to participate in the promotion at the end of the third quarter. Winn, who didn’t identify himself as a major-leaguer to avoid notoriety, declined, then agreed at his cousin’s urging. “I was lucky,” Winn said. “Real lucky.”

Why would I watch Transformers when I can play with them at my house?
