Snake Infestation

From the AP:

Idaho couple's home infested with snakes

WILFORD, Idaho - The Hepworths knew the house would require some maintenance. But they never thought they'd need a snake charmer. Shortly after Lyman and Jeanine Hepworth began working on a rundown property outside of town, they experienced a trauma more fit for Samuel L. Jackson's character in "Snakes on a Plane" than a pair of eastern Idaho do-it-yourselfers.

Snakes fell on Lyman Hepworth's head when he opened the door to a pump house near the small house the couple planned to buy.

"When it warmed up, we walked onto the yard and the whole yard moved," Jeanine Hepworth told the Rexburg Standard Journal.

One day, Lyman Hepworth reached to turn on a light and discovered the pull cord was actually a snake.

So Sorry

I am so sorry to everyone at Safeco last night that did not see me streak across the field. If it didn't require a night in jail I would totally do it, in a heartbeat and I would slap Sexson's ass run-by style and maybe the moose too. I am 26 and have never spent a night in jail or been convicted of anything. A little part of me thinks, hey you might as well just get it out of the way and what better way to do it than to run naked across the field at Safeco?

Shadrac my Pathfinder, I am so sorry that the doughnut bandit struck again. At this rate by next weekend you will have no tires left and the whole town will be covered in burnt rubber marks.

Neighbors, I am so sorry if you saw us streaking past your house last night. It seemed like a good idea since we missed our big chance at Safeco. That'll teach you to look out the window after dark huh?

I still need to see Little Miss Sunshine

I STILL have not seen Little Miss Sunshine! Maybe DK and I will go this weekend and see a matinee so we can avoid all of the annoying teenagers and save a few bucks. Wow - we really are an old married couple now!

This morning on my way to work I sat on 148th for around 45 minutes in traffic. That sucked, but to my delight the people stuck in traffic next to me were a really nice couple with an awesome bumble! I have seen it before at the Wagon Shop where I take my Bumble to see Dr. Carl and Dr. Calvin. It is painted like a globe with a trail of words all around it. It has a cool clown type horn mounted on the driver door so he can roll down his window and squeeze it! Best of all he has a mega phone mounted to the outside and a CB radio type hand piece inside so he can drive along and talk to people at an incredibly high volume! I NEED THAT! First I need to look it up and make sure it isn't against the law because the last thing I need is another reason for the cops to pull me over in Bumble. It already screams "I HAVE WEED, PULL ME OVER!" (I do not) but if I had the mega phone I could scream "I HAVE WEED, PULL ME OVER!" (I do not.)

You have gotta see this brown Bumble catch some air off a jump.


Please compare.

My Bumble: (Push start not required!)

Man plummets 50 feet to grab missing $20

From the AP:

PALMETTO, Fla. - Mark Giorgio figured a 50-foot fall was worth $20. Giorgio, 47, was counting his money Monday while walking across the U.S. 41 bridge over the Manatee River when a $20 bill blew out of his hand and flew over the rail.

He followed. And plummeted 50 feet into the river.

Then he swam about 100 yards to fish the bill from the water.

"I got my money back, hell yeah," Giorgio told the Sarasota Herald-Tribune. "Twenty bucks is a lot of money when you're broke."

He was fished from the water by a passing Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission officer. Giorgio, who said he was already suffering from a broken collarbone, refused treatment for cuts and scrapes he suffered in the fall.

Cool Site

Ok - So I hate 2 things more than almost anything in this world... Gifuckinggantic-gas-guzzeling SUVs, Hummers in particular and popups. But the other day I stumbled upon this Hummer popup and was impressed with it so I thought I would pass it along.

  • Go to this link and click on the Enter Site button: http://www.hummer.com/itsnotmagic/
  • Check out how the magician stretches the popup for you.
  • Once the intro has finished, click on the magician and he will do tricks with your mouse.
  • Also, I have to say that the videos (commercials) are pretty funny.

Cup O Noodle

The other day at the store I was so excited to find a "Vegetable Style Instant Noodle Soup" in other words a generic vegetarian version of good old Cup O Noodle! I tried one for lunch today and I have to say it was good but I was a little disappointed.

First of all, I didn't stir it well enough (my fault, I know) so the broth on top was a little watery and the broth at the bottom was a little too salty.

They need to improve their cup strength because almost immediately I poked a hole in the cup with my fork and had to eat fast until I got the broth level lower than the hole so that it wouldn't spill all over my desk.

Also, the picture on the label shows a steaming cup of noodles LOADED with peas, corn and carrot pieces. Mine had ONLY TWO peas and MAYBE FIVE carrot pieces max, I didn't count the carrots and NO CORN!!! So that's the report.

I am now having a cup of hot chocolate for dessert.

Note: the soup in the picture is the Tomato Beef style which I of course did not try, but the picture is exactly the same as the one I did try.

  • Bad adults drive to Wendy's in their underwear on a Sunday night at 10:30 with an open bottle of wine (not the driver I might add.)
  • Bad adults have a compulsive urge to do doughnuts in parking lots.
  • Bad adults pass out on the couch with a frosty and wake up at 3:00 am on Monday morning hating life with their contacts glued to their eyes.
  • Bad adults get beat up by a Yeti and told they are bad adults.

Please feel free to comment with your own bad adult description. :)

Dog the Bounty Hunter

So it's after 1 AM and I just watched a few minutes of Dog the Bounty Hunter. Bri and I were in the hot tub for a few hours and then went out for Taco Bell, then I went and did doughnuts in the middle school parking lot, DAMN I LOVE DOUGHNUTS, THE CAR TYPE AS WELL AS THE SUGGARY TYPE. My husband is out playing cards. Dog looks like a modern day HEMAN!!!! They just busted some guy with over $10k worth of Meth, nice. A few good quotes from Dog: (Speaking at a public elementary school) What does school get you? Success!! If not, you go to jail!!! May God have mercy 'casue Dog will not!!

Warren Jeffs: It sucks to be you!

From the Seattle PI: Fugitive polygamist leader Jeffs caught

I was so happy when I heard this morning that Warren Jeffs of the FLDS had been arrested by the FBI. The world will be a slightly better place because of it. I am a little surprised that it went down so smoothly; I had predicted a Branch Davidian like blow out. Now the big challenge is to keep Warren Jeffs locked up and disband his support system so that this disgusting cycle of child abuse and molestation can stop for good. Hopefully this is the time and we don't have to try for another 20 or 30 years.

Caution: Wild Women!

Saturday night the ladies took me out for a little bachelorette party. Was that ever fun! They got me a shirt with a list of funny stuff on it that I had to do. Bri said that I had to finish it all and that she didn't think that I could do it! Booo Yaaaa Bri! I had it all done by midnight! ;)

The six of us started out at my house and drank 3 bottles of wine and 1 bottle of champagne and played pin the hose on the fireman.

Next we went to a bar and I was in a hurry to get my shirt list checked off. We had a great time dancing to all of the 80's songs (including Thriller!) and taking shots.

We ended the night by sharing a cab to multiple destinations. Bri, CK and I ended up at my place, drank some more champagne and then decided to get some food. It was around 2:00 am and we were all wasted so we walked the 5 blocks to the grocery store with our plastic Halloween to-go cups of champagne. We grabbed 2 frozen pizzas and some pretzels and walked back outside to find two YOUNG men out there on bikes. We struck up a conversation with them because they had a big box of cookies! They told us they were 14 (translation: probably 12) and had snuck out. We explained that we were a bachelorette party and they signed my shirt. We asked them what they were up to and they said that they were just hanging out. Odd, when we used to sneak out we always had something to do, not just sit around the grocery store eating frosted sugar cookies. Soon we found out that the real plan had to do with the eggs in their backpack! One of us asks “why don't you guys have bunny pegs?” They both look at us with blank stares and say "Um, what are those?" HELLOOOOOOOOOO! Kids don't know what bunny pegs are anymore! WTF?

So we decided to go on a little adventure with the boys, we walked back up the street and asked where they were headed - they said we should go egg Brittney’s house - ok, whatever, at this point we are up for anything. Britney's house ended up being too far away for us old gals to walk to, we couldn't get rides from the boys because they didn't have bunny pegs and we were itching to bake our frozen pizzas. At one point they weren't paying attention and rode right into each other and tumbled to the ground - that was pretty funny!

I will fast forward a little bit and skip some parts.

Pretty soon the eggs were all gone and we decided to head home for pizza and more champagne. As we are walking away, about a block down the street we hear them yell "Show us your boobies!" Freaking hilarious! They had to wait until we were a safe distance away before voicing this daring request. So like any good citizen should we flashed them a little bra, but no boobies. I think we made their DECADE!

So when school starts in a couple of weeks, this story will be floating all over the middle school with this tacked in front of it: "This was the BEST SUMMER EVER! We snuck out to get some cookies and go egging and hung out with a bachelorette party, they were like 30 or something and we even saw some bra!" Hell, they will probably exaggerate it and say they saw some boobies, but that's ok with me.

I'll post some pictures soon!
