Of Swords and Bunnies....

I came across an all-too-familiar occurance yesterday...

I was looking for a simple product -- one that you'd think would be easily available in some form or another during the middle of the winter. I wasn't looking for anything exotic or novelty, or rare.. just a freakin fire log to help start fires in a fireplace.

Went to all of the places that might conceivably carry such a thing, and found NOTHING!

I was so upset that I did the only thing I could do at the time: I bought a handful of Hershey's Chocolate bars, and went home, and opened a jar of peanut butter & feasted away my frustrations.

No joke.. instead of buying Hershey's Chocolate bars, I was this close --> <-- to buying a chocolate easter bunny or two, just so I could bite off their heads! Living in small town America has it's benefits -- mostly, it's quiet, and not nearly as stressful or hectic as large cities. But when it comes to shopping options, or wanting to find common things (especially technology related), small towns are definitely a two-edged sword: you will either find nothing; or if you do find it, will pay an arm & a leg for it. Just thinking about it again as I type this is getting me upset, again...

CHOCOLATE BUNNIES -- BEWARE!!!!

Save Us, Godzilla!!...
The Godzilla Dryer (WMV)

The Godzilla Dryer (QuickTime)

Here is an example of how my little brain works....

For some time now, I've noticed that whenever I pull the lint tray out of my dryer, the sound of the wire mesh against the metal of the dryer makes a sound that reminds me exactly of the sound that Godzilla makes, when he growls...

I finally had a chance to prove my theory yesterday, when a Godzilla movie was showing on the Sci-Fi channel. I took video of me taking out the lint tray from my dryer, and video of Godzilla doing his yelp. It's uncanny how alike they sound!

Throw in some clips from the movie, add a snippet of the song "Animal", by Def Leppard, and you have this blog!

I'm looking forward to the comments on this one... :-)
