The Comic Book Guy

Posted at 18:00 EST

I was trading impersonations of simpsons charactors with Damon (who had a very shoddy Nelson may I add) and started thinking about the Comic Book Guy. You know the comic book guy, he's that rotund weaselly guy that owns a comic book shop, is a total nerd and indiscriminately insults anyone who wanders into his shop that he deems "inferior" (ie; everyone unless they ever starred in Star Trek).

You know, there are a few online who remind me of that guy. Vicky told me about a year and a half ago of one she was convinced in real life must look just like that guy. If I told you who, you'd laugh and agree with her I'm sure. But I wont. I'm much too nice. *sadly*

Anyway, bored, looking around in google, found this: alt.net.obsessive - a tribute to the comic book guy

I say I say, Shake that butt Mr. Chicken!

Posted at 16:00 EST

Ridiculous waste of webspace that it is, my husband sent me this the other day: Subservient Chicken he will do pretty much anything you tell him to, shake your a**, jump, lick yourself, but if you tell him anything truly perverted (like paint my house?) he'll just stare at his crotch all confused like "how am I going to do that with these stupid wings on?"

32 you say, How many is that in chocolate years?

Posted at 14:00 EST

Got this from tommy in email today..

Your Age by Chocolate Math This is pretty neat! Check it out.

1. First of all, pick the number of times a week that you would like to have chocolate. (more than once but less than 10)

2. Multiply this number by 2 (Just to be bold)

3. Add 5. (for Sunday)

4. Multiply it by 50 I'll wait while you get the calculator

5. If you have already had your birthday this year add 1755. If you haven't, add 1754.

6. Now subtract the four digit year that you were born. You should have a three digit number.

The first digit of this was your original number (i.e., how many times you want to have chocolate each week). The next two numbers are YOUR AGE! Oh YES, it is!!!!!

Apparantly, this year, 2005, is the only year this silly thing should work.

What to do when AW stresses you out

Posted at 14:00 EST

Yes even I, queen of ducks and mayhem, have at times been stressed out by people or problems in AW. I realize I'm not the only one. I ask myself, why do I even bother? Well, for the most part I enjoy it greatly, have some terrific friends on here, ones I see as being real friends and just as important. I like variety in life, and AW definitely offers that. But once in a while, someone says something or reacts to something I've said and it's like a punch in the stomach. That evil ball of stress. How to get rid of it without choking any e-necks? This is what I do:

Walk away. Go outside, have fun, have a good day, even if you have priorities in work or play here that you have promised to do. Those you promised WILL understand. I also have an entire folder in my bookmarked favorites, titled Make Me Laugh NOW just for these occasions. I browse through them, then gram some of my more reliable online friends who always have the goods, and make them make me laugh as well. Then I consider a reply, sometimes it's simply not in your best interests. Alot of people lash out on the internet as a way to deal with their own issues, and you reacting to them will not stop it.

If that person misinterpreted what you were saying, and did so with a negative slant, explain ONE time to them what you had meant. If they still don't get it or insist on seeing it in a more negative light, LET IT GO. One time folks, that's all it should ever take for a sane person to realize you are not demonic for saying something stupid, or misreading you. If they wish to see everything negatively, well thats their own issues, dont make it yours.

What some other people do, and some recently, which I found really funny and helpful on all sides (made them laugh or calm down, made me laugh, and the anger never got directed to a party who wouldn't hear it.):

Redirect your anger to someone who can take it, but in a funny way. A friend of mine on here was getting upset over some discussion and instead of lashing out at them, told me we were now AT WAR (but in a way that was obviously kidding at least in part) whereas I responded, "You are now my nemesis! I will take you down!" We giggled, anger evaporated. I am still at war with them mind you, I am just busy building my army. And color coordinating our uniforms to suit my new foe's. (hello my favorite sumo wrestler!)

Another thing you can do is to have a good chat with a friend, vent a little.. get it off your chest. It helps to move on occasionally.

And never ever forget, if you feel guilt, examine it. Is it in the right place? If so, apologize. Don't stick to your guns just to maintain your 'I'm so above this' attitude. I have had my personal feelings about someone do a complete 180 turnabout because that person apologized to me. Even though it was only in part, I can readily accept some guilt as mine if they could accept some was theirs.

Another trick, this one I do on a weekly basis, lol.. and it really works! Is that persona on line? If so, write a gram to them. A really longwinded one, explaining your position and stating why you think they are generally an ass. Then close it. Dont send it, just X that bad boy out. I swear on Jot's golden baby manger that I feel just as satisfied if not more when writing a no-send gram as I do when writing a real one and sending it. But less flame war consequences.

one update; a friend of mine just confessed how he's been dealing with AW stress lately, by swimming in his tub every morning with a rubber ducky and looking at pretty pictures. Smart man! At least on the duck part.

The newyear's eve funkfest

Posted at 21:00 EST

Wow did we have a great time! Here's the photo display of the goofy friends, and the usual groping between mr.2cheeses and his buddies.

That's Pedro, JOel and the cheese, feeling each other up.

And this is the disco ducks, Matt and (Pimpin')Ed, hamming it up for the camera. Great guys, both of them. (and of course, the mexican and puerto rican up there)

Uh oh, Tommy stole a kid. This one claims to be named Livvy-Beans.

Here's tommy before, caught on MY pc and even wearing MY shrek ears!

That is Joel, doing something that looks like reporting for duty to toms. We are all rather drunk at this stage. Meanwhile, Something happened to a bunch of photos I've taken on this camera, the ones of Robin Williams, and from this new years eve party all the ones of myself and the girls are all gone. So I'm just the thumb you occasionally see hanging around the side of the camera, as I'm the one who took those shots.

And one more time, For Da Ladies..

GOOOooood Morning Bahrain!

Posted at 02:22 EST

What a weird morning. Woke up at 6am (it's 10:30am now) and went and saw Robin Williams put on a show for us at 8:45am. He was hysterical! And of course, started his show off with the title of this journal, not too much of a suprise there. Very raunchy, but he had to can it a bit as a few morons brought their snotty children. It was very funny though to watch him struggle to keep it a bit cleaner than his usual act. He had just flown in from Afhganistan. He was with a pro-wrestler (forget his name, i hate wrestling) and a nascar driver Mike Wallace. (i dont know nascar either) My hubs just told me the wrestlers name was Kurt Engle (sp?) and that Mike is Rusty Wallace's brother. (whatever that means) A playboy centerfold or something, but I think we missed her.

One quote from today's show;

"I see the Marines have the new digital camouflage, that's awful nice. I saw one soldier in the crowd (just one though!) in the old green camouflage.

"What's this guy thinking? The Afhganis are goin' 'Look Achmed! A tree! Quick lets go stand behind that!'"

one more..

"Here you have girls all covered up in abaiya's. You poor women (from base, pointing at a group of us standing around) have to go out in town dressed like Mrs. Doubtfire.. 'Hillloooo Gentlemen! My elbows and ankles are nicely covered! Doesn't it make you want me?' (-in his voice he used for that charactor)"

And several extremely raunchy michael jackson jokes too of course. I spewed my coffee everywhere on one of them, I can't repeat it here.

I'll post our pics from it later. Weird, he looked exactly like my father. He used to in his mid 30's, my dad and him looked alot alike, he used to get comments all the time 'you know you look just like robin williams!' Now apparantly he does again. I dont talk to my dad much, wonder if he still hears that alot?

Post Pumpkin turning..

Posted at 02:39 EST

Well, I finally made it that day to the MC ball. I think I had the lamest outfit there. You should have seen it, ladies in literally full ball gowns, and me, running around in a velvet pants suit. I blame the brits. Really. They have NO decent clothing. (no offense guys)

Here are a few shots from it. Why am I posting them here? Well, my entire family stops in my journal on occasion, because I am incredibly lazy and don't call/write often enough. Isn't that sad when you are so addicted to AW that your parents have to resort to getting life updates from your journal? Woe is me.

Technically, these were from Thanksgiving. but hey. My friend LeeAnne and I, sitting on the new porsche! Hey, look at that fine Bahraini skyline. Oh, sorry? Can't see anything? Trust me, your not missing much.

I have no idea what this one is, aside from just hideous. It's at that ball, the photo guy suprised us. Then he made us buy the pic for one dinar after. And I mean made us! I look like an evil redheaded hamster. Tom thinks he looks like an axe murderer. I told him, baby you look like that alll the time. Trust me. Poor Mr. Two Cheeses.

This is a group picture of all of us that went together, myself and mr. cheese, our best friends Joel (the large mexican) and his wife Lourdes, and Ed. Ed the pimp technically ,there with his girlfriend in front of him.

Now, after all that, I was so depressed I ended up getting my hair ALL chopped off. Shortest it's been since, well since forevor.

And right behind me, is my second favorite persian rug. Tommy took the pic, and insisted I be in front of it. Like it mom? I love you guys! And for any stray (obviously bored!) people running through this journal, first off, I feel really sorry for you. Because this is one boring journal. Second of all, stop by my mom's home and say hello, tell her what a complete nutcase her daughter is, anythng you want. Just don't cuss at her, or I'll have to beat you with a ducky.

Totally out of the blue diatribe from minnie

Posted at 15:36 EST

This came to me via an old and dear friend from AncientSites that I have barely seen around in months, Minerva.

"I have come to the realization that all of the tv for women channels are evil. They portray all women in one of 2 manners. Either they are strong women who need nobody, yet find that special man that makes them all gooey inside and then they simply can't function at all without that guy... Or they are women who never could get on without a man or they have some other major character flaw, but then meet that special man that makes them into a complete and decent human being. Just had to share. Have a nice day! :-)"

Ninja's Rock!

Posted at 16:38 EST

Just a really goofy link to someone's NINJA Rocks site. Very funny, to me anyway. Of course, I have a really low humour threshold. I'm alright with it, it's all part of the part-human, part-DUCK package.

This link was a tip off from me Very Irish Mate! Aye Lad! Top O Da Mornin to Ye! Uh. That means Fenton (fennypants) Brigantes.

Official Ninja Website - The ultimate power!

This next one Vort clued me into and is the funniest thing ever, also fairly unPC, hey, he found it posted in the Atheist Virtual Club in Rome, and lets face it. FULL of un pc posts. You don't like it? Just dont read it folks.

PeterPan's Fashion Pages is this guy for real? Too hysterical. You HAVE to bring up those pics full size to really enjoy.

Ok, this next one speaks for itself.

Pimp Daddy.com

This next one is silly, but cute. And although a little hokey, I enjoyed it.

Rubber Duckie, yer Da one! gee, wonder why I liked this one? Well, actually, it was the ducks. NOT that guy, he's disgusting.
