I was in Korea, walking around this really cool market. Walked into this one store where everything was really cheap. Picked up some skull things that I was gonna buy for $1 each. Saw this huge life-sized portrait of Kim Jong Il, that was signed and had some official looking document inside the frame as well. I asked the store clerk about it insisting that I needed it. It was $400 and apparently in my reasonable (dream) logic, figured I couldn't afford it on my travel budget. After being disapoint the store clerk informed me that the had 2 of Kim Jong Il's belts for $35 each, and I decided to go that route. Also it should be known that Tomas was in the dream and he was walking around the store holding a rubber snake. That is all.
I'm sure some, or most of you have heard of the unfortunate woman who had her hands bitten off and her face ripped off by a 200 lb, former Old Navy commercial star chimpanzee. I've heard several news radio stories about this story, but haven't read anything in print or on the web so here it is as I understand it. So a 70-something woman living in Conn. or something had a 200 lb., 14 year-old pet chimpanzee, who had appeared in commercials and TV shows. The woman raised the chimp and treated it as a member of the family, it would eat at the table, dress itself and even use the computer (for what I don't know). Apparently the chimp had been agitated earlier that day so the woman gave it some tea with some Xanax, in it to calm it down. Keep in mind this wasn't "Chimp Xanax", and the lady was playing pharmacist to a wild fucking animal. Also, I learned that on of the common side affects of Xanax (in humans) is aggression, so... The woman's friend came over, and she had meet "Travis" many times, but upon arrival the chimp snapped and proceeded to rip the woman's face off and (apparently) "bit her hands off". I'm not totally surprised I've heard of a story a while back where one of these little guys flipped out bit off a guys fingers and... wait for it... ripped off and ATE his penis. Clearly these things are not to be trusted. Just as a rule of thumb, stay away from animals that have been known to "snap" and rip peoples faces off, not matter how cute they might look in a diaper and a cowboy hat. Anyway, the woman who was attacked is in "critical condition" and sustained "life changing" injuries. All that being said I'd like you to listen to the 911 recording just to give you and idea of what went down.
I'm sure most of you remember playing this game on your old shitty computers in grade school, but it was awesome. There was probably a phase during my grade school career at Old St. Joe's where playing "The Oregon Trail" was like totally the highlight of my day, that or cutting myself behind the curtins on the stage, down in "parrish hall". Oh shit, "hot lunch" was pretty great too, unless you forgot it was hot lunch.. because everyone thought you were poor then :(. I'm going off on a tangent here. For the time this tasty little son-of-a-pistol was actually really entertaining, but, I'm trying to remember why exactly. I guess it was cool to hunt like bears, deer and squirrels. Another fun aspect was gambling with the river forge, sometimes you make it, sometime you don't. Sometimes for no good reason your wife or child would die of dysentery, or some other kind of old-timey disease, or if I remeber correctly you could just watch them all starve to death. So the big news here and reason I am writting about a computer game that is so many years removed from my life is.... IT'S COMING BACK... FOR YOUR iPHONE! Yeah on Febuary 28th you'll be able to purchase the new version of this classically badass game for your iPhone, I just thought you all should know. Below is a screen capture of the new version.
So as I stated earlier, I recently joined Facebook and have been on that thing for about a month now, and I have to admit, it's not all that bad. It's a really great way to just drop in on someone's "eLife" and say hello or just snoop around a little. You feel a little like a weirdo looking at peoples stuff, but then again, if they didn't want you to see it they wouldn't have "friended" you, right? Whatever, it's cool I guess, but there is some gayness to it, but we live in a world where I can find "gayness" in just about anything. Oh, and if you are a lesbian or homosexual, please don't be offended when I refer to things as "gay", it's just the way I came up, I like gay people, not like you, like I wanna be gay with you, but platonically, I like you all that way.
As a race (the human race), we are one, however, within the "human race" we are composed of many different races or ethnicity's, I should say. The are a lot of common stereotypes that are associated with each ethnicity. Today I would like to replace stereotypes with fact, 100% truth, in this blog called "Chewy Truth Nuggets". I decided to focus on ethnicity's that are not as common as some of the others, like how we all know Jews are rich and love bagels or how Puerto Ricans always have a switchblade on them. So here it is and remember none of this is meant to be offensive, because all I am doing here is providing you all with the truth.
