Rat thoughts

LiveJournal really messed up the gallery.  It's a royal pain in the ass to upload and post images now.  Clicky on any of these to see the full image.


Macrophotograph of a screw.


Storms in the distance, and the water tower that was recently erected nearby.


I wish this bike helmet came in my size.


A couple toads I saw in a well head while looking at houses with a friend.


This show is boring!


Cool story, bro.


THIS IS OFFICEMAX!!!!


Something every Skyrim fan should have.


This tastes like ass.


Mmmmm...  Hooves....


I ordered a pork tenderloin sandwich from a local diner.  This is what I got.

Assorted pics I either forgot to upload or uploaded to Twitpic but not here.



The antenna I put up for my SO.  I wish I'd done more research; while this antenna works well, it's really overkill.  Separate VHF and UHF antennas would have worked better.



Saw this car with a tiger tail at the Omaha Costco.


   
Taking the Plattsmouth Bridge across the Missouri River.  These photos were taken back in October when I drove to Iowa to inquire about a marriage license.


      
After visiting the Mills County Courthouse, I stopped at the nearby Mile Hill Lake at the foot of the Loess Hills.  I walked around the lake, across the dam and up into the hills.  I used to go on these kinds of hikes all the time, but it's been a while and I'm a bit out of shape.



Christmas 2009, I bought stockings for my SO and my roommate.  Not just any kind, but stockings that were appropriate to their "furry preferences".  But I had a very hard time finding anything appropriate for me.  I finally found this stocking with rabbits that was perfect.



Birds are made from bird seed!



Have you given your dog a wet nose today?



Engrish is my favorite language.



One of my relatives!  It's a cute little kids book about packrats.



A Folkmanis Pack Rat puppet.


 
I've not had much luck getting pictures of the birds.  Every time I try to step outside to get a shot, the more colorful birds fly away.

I took a survey today and one of the questions was to name a soft drink prize giveaway promotion, so I put down Jooky Junk

Snoopy Goat!



Giant inflatable sheep!  I know a few people who would have naughty thoughts about this.

Our goats love animal crackers and they're tame enough to take them right out of my mouth.  The camera on my phone is really slow, so it took a couple dozen tries to get a decent shot.  And a couple dozen cookies.



Celebrate the birth of your nation by blowing up a small piece of it.



I'd be angry too if someone tied me down with ropes attached to my nipple rings.

I don't think their milk is quite fresh.  (My camera doesn't do this image justice, it's actually even greener in real life.)

I was watching TV tonight when they ran a commercial for a nasal spray called Patanase and as usual, I wasn't really paying attention.  When they ran through the list of possible side effects, my subconscious picked up on one of them, giving me a "wait, did they say what I think they said?" moment.  Fortunately, I was watching the show on my computer, so I just backed up a few seconds and ran through it again.  And again.  And again, just to make sure.  Yup, I heard it right the first time.

"Hole in the nasal septum."

Holes.  In your nose.

This drug can put holes in your nose!

Wow.  That's almost as bad as anal leakage.

The Japanese are truly weird.
