Not Exactly Lance

Today I saw a man riding his bicycle home from a short shopping trip… you know, high gas prices and all. All the while he was smoking a Cigar! Man I love the South.

"They had no good cigars there, my lord; and I left the place in disgust." — Alfred Lord Tennyson, returning from Venice

"A handmade cigar is a rebellion against frenzy and insanity; it means supporting contemplation over rash impulse, and represents a civilized revolution." — Steve Worthington, San Francisco Financier

K.I.T.T. Road Trip

This is the story of a boy and his crimefighting supercar. Through the wonders of ebay, Jason was able to aquire the Knight Industries Two Thousand or K.I.T.T. This is the chronicle of that fateful trip home, Jason really puts it best: After saying farewell to my new friends, KITT and I hit the road, heading west… Everywhere I went, people wanted their picture with KITT. Every time I stopped the car – getting gas, at tourist attractions, even stoplights, someone would ask about him.I made a lot of new friends on the road. And, you know, fought crime. kitt-road-trip.jpg KITT and I roamed far and wide across this great nation… Putting right what once went wrong… And stopping to enjoy the scenery whenever it warranted. The road opened up wide before us. KITT always did his best to keep me out of trouble, but we had plenty of misadventures. We even had a very SPECIAL adventure in Vegas… I learned a lot on that journey. A lot about America. A lot about myself. “One man CAN make a difference,” said the really intense voice in the Knight Rider opening credits. While the dorky obsession is obvious, Jason weaves a compelling visual tale of a six day road trip rife with destinations. It makes you want to suit up and hit the road yourself… well maybe in a few weeks when gas comes back down…

Peter… Pan?

The home page of Peter Pan created by: Randy Constan is, well, a train wreck that just won't stop. I tried to find a quote that would sum up his page, but this web site DEFIES description… well at least in any succinct way. Anyway, check it out BUT be warned you will be amazed (but not in a good way). Especially on the photos page that keeps going and going… when all the while you're thinking no one person could possibly have ever worn so many bad outfits — let alone make a web site about it.

Real Peter Pan Thanks Sarah

Squirrel Bridge

With 62 BILLION dollars already earmarked for Katrina aid, many people are begining to worry about how all those tax dollars will be spent. The government has never been good with money what with waste and corruption and all… well here's a story that will basically validate your feelings on the subject: PRAGUE (AFP) – A Czech town has built a 10,000 euro ($12,000) bridge to protect a handful of squirrels from a busy road, without knowing if they will use it. The seven-metre (23-foot) high cable bridge attached to two trees spans a road that divides a large park in the town of Sokolov in the west of the country, near the German border. "We think this construction is unique in the world. I myself witnessed two dead squirrels on the road in the space of two months and I felt we had to do something," Sokolov mayor Karel Jakobec told AFP Thursday. At the moment the park is home to just three squirrels. "The idea is that instead of going down trees and crossing the road to get to the other side of the park the squirrels will go up and across. But we don't know yet if it will work," he added. Most of the 290,000 koruna (9,920 euro) cost was met from a grant by Czech brewer Staropramen as one of 10 grants it awarded for ecological projects in the country. The remaining 40,000 koruna was funded by the town council. "We have already arranged for two more pairs of squirrels to be brought from an animal rescue centre and we are hoping that the squirrel population in the park will now grow," added Jakobec. Squirrels are a protected species in the Czech Republic.

iPod Nano

Good bye iPod mini, hheelllloo nano. The new flash based iPod mini is a mere 62% of the size of the old mini and it is SLIM. That and it only weighs 1.5 oz THIS is an iPod for exercising… without the need for industrial elastic to hold it in place. Sizes actually decreased to 2Gig & 4Gig. Now that most people realize that you don't actually listen to music if you MP3 collection is 27Gig… you just spend all day online stealing it.
