2012!!!

I sit here watching a stupid promo for some goofball movie (Megashark vs. Giant Octopus) trying not to spew water everywhere (I took a sip of water during the preview, right when the giant shark came out of the water) from laughter. What? You haven't heard of this movie? Well, here's a sneak peak.

(note: There is one bit of NSFW language, but I could forgive the guy. If I was in a plane and noticed a giant shark jump out of the water headed straight for me...well, I might say a choice phrase or two myself.)



Warning: Spoilers!! Did you see the shark jump out of the ocean and attack the plane? (Insert your own 'jump the shark' jokes here). I think there is a sequel being planned: "Snakes On A Plane Attacked By Sharks And Destroyed By Mutant Martian Marmosets". But hey, it would still probably be better than Star Wars Episodes 1-3.

Anyway, the REAL reason for posting was another trailer I came across from The Bad Astronomer, for a new movie all about disasters and such - 2012. For the uninformed, 2012 is the year everything ends because the Mayan calendar stops at that year, or something like that. I mean, those Mayans knew EVERYTHING, right? Anyway, someone edited the 2012 trailer into a comedy - kinda funny, I thought, until the TV showed a megashark attacking a jet plane. (cue old song: I'm Eatin'...On A Jet Plane). And here's the trailer:



Geek humor: What would you get if a thousand megasharks attacked you? A giga-bite. And if you feel the need to leave a comment complaining that the joke should have 1,024 megasharks, you can just shut up. I was aiming for geek humor, not nerdy humor. Get a life.

Nope, not dead.....

...just been too overloaded with various things (translation: too lazy to post but creative enough to try to cover up the non-postiness)

Anyhoo, during the two months since my last post, I have been sorely tempted to launch into some sort of verbal tirade against the enemies of "America According To The Constitution: How Things Should Be But They Just Aren't" before the government censors step in to silence seditious opinions. Yeah, I think I need to cut down my Glenn Beck listening or watching time. Too much of Glenn makes you want to start building your underground bunker and prepare for the collapse of the American economy due to hyperinflation or some other sort of nastiness. So I'm just putting my portable soapbox away for now.

Tonight I was outside with Sam, trying to get some pics of the thumbnail moon. Sam had roamed far away, so after I finished my photos I called for him to come back. I had just made it back to the porch when I heard Sam flying like crazy towards me. Just as he got to the porch, he dropped something he'd carried in his mouth in the bushes next to the porch. The moment I heard the thing drop to the ground, my internal alarm system activated - SNAKE!!! So I grabbed the nearest weapon I could find - the Battle Hoe - and began prodding the bushes to flush the 'snake' out. I'm sure it looked pretty silly - especially when I realized the 'snake' was just a frog. But oh well - I needed to practice my Battle Hoe moves anyway, so no harm done.

Okay, it's late - almost 5 AM - so I'm signing off for now.
