Mascot, Mexicans and pIgeons.

It's thursday... and well i'm getting of my schedule of daily pictures. And you know what....
I DONT CARE. SCREW YOU. haha anyway .. check this out for all you weight hungry mongers :



Costumes aren't exactly cool. On a hot summer day, in-
outfit temperatures can soar more than 40 degrees above
external conditions -- enough to turn the typical fuzzy getup into a slow-cook rotisserie.

A few years ago, Baltimore Orioles mascot Bromley Lowe
became so dehydrated during a Fourth of July parade that he
ended up in an ambulance, hooked up to an I.V. bag.

"Just imagine wearing a black fur coat that encompasses
your entire body," said Lowe, who also has worked as a mascot for American University and the Baltimore
Ravens. "It's basically like doing aerobics in a sauna."

And then some. Forget the Atkins diet: If you're looking to
shed a few pounds for bikini season -- or just make weight
for your upcoming title bout -- mascotting offers the
fastest results. According to McFarland, the average mascot
loses 8.6 pounds per performance.



It's not easy I tell ya. My brief stint, though glamarous, was very tough.
Sweet, pain, and through it all you have a big old smile on your face with bulging eyes and huge buck teeth.


New picture.... THE HAT.

So i saw great expecatation last night... 1998, ethan hawke - gweneth paltrow edition. It was interesting.I had read the book and didn't expect the movie to be a modern revision. it was definately good. can't forget fountain kisses.

whew, i just went to get a french vanilla cappuchino and a water... as i do on occassion here at the lovely SIEMENS, anyway the point of the story is ... that a bottle of poland spring is 64cents. Why did someone pay that all in pennies... 64 single pennies. Not one roll of 50cents and 14 singles.. but 64 single pennies...

Ezabelers ... REALLY ... come on... everyone should chip in for a digital video camera for me... please.. i'd make it worth it... taping my misadventures all across the world. Stef could be the star. I'd go buy a gorilla suit . i'd have such good times with that. forget work and everything...i'd just go around doing things people wouldn't do and they'd all live vicariously through me and the show would be a hit... or maybe not. i just want a camera. so bite me.

forrestina #3.1 forrestinaOG 2002

hunkpapap hunkpapapOG 2003

ilikebirds ilikebirdsOG 2002

magnum #3.2 magnumOG 2001

for a fee i can document ur adventures on my video camera...

whoknows #4 whoknowsOG 2003

This is amusing to me because just yesterday Chris and I were talking about how badly we want a video camera to videotape us and our friends when we go out, and stuff, because so many times we wish we had a video camera. And he has one of those cards on the computer that you can hook up TV, VCR, and video cameras and blah and then digitally edit it and burn onto a CD and stuff, which is very exciting. The footage would be amazing, and then splicing it together to make a super great film... So we were thinkin of just buying a cheap regular video camera off Ebay or something, because we fo sho can't afford an awesome digital one right now.... and anyways if we buy a crappy one we can beat it up and take it to weird places. Consider that option Thai? It's a good one. Or just hang out with us at all times when we get our video camera. Then it'll be like two birds with one stone.

ilikebirds #4.1 ilikebirdsOG 2002

whoa whoa... i like birds.

whoknows #4.2 whoknowsOG 2003

My comment is better if you read it with a Russian accent like Ill Mitch. especially the "super great film" part

ilikebirds #4.2.1 ilikebirdsOG 2002

i hope everyone who reads my comments reads it as if they were an indian fellow who was born in New delhi and raised for 12 years where he then moved to russia for another 8 years.

skaorsk8 #4.3 skaorsk8OG 2002

i will tape for you guys anytime...and then edit it, and put it on CD. I want to do that more but my friends aren't creative enough to make interesting video. So let's do that this weekend.

ilikebirds #4.3.1 ilikebirdsOG 2002

oh man ... i'm busy. but another weekend. i want you to tape me dancing on a billboard and then digital place a gorilla suit on me.. since i'm poor and can't afford an 800 dollar gorilla suit.

skaorsk8 #4.3.1.1 skaorsk8OG 2002

yeah man we gotta hook that up, rent a suit, care of mastercard!

ilikebirds #5 ilikebirdsOG 2002

ok4now #6 ok4nowOG 2002

i like the way you felt the need to comment on your own journal a few times before other people finally joined in. HEY EVERYONE, LOOK AT TY!

ilikebirds #6.1 ilikebirdsOG 2002

no see. it's my journal. thus keeping my daily happenings. so i commented on my own journal with whatever is happening, rather than editing it. you see.. it's all about intelligence. i'm up neerrree.. and you're down nhhheaaa.

ok4now #6.1.1 ok4nowOG 2002

dude what site has all the scripts... i have to read them alll

deanh77 deanh77Founder

ok let me tell you a little story:

Out here in cyberspace the vast amount of information can be scary to some people. "oh no! how do I find south park scripts!" is a phrase often heard from short little asian boys. So many, many years ago, the net gods invented the "search engine". which ironically lets you search for engines. ok, and other stuff too. like, say, "south park scripts". or male enhancement pills. but come on, who'd search for male enhancement pills? That's what spam is for. I'm not saying eating spam is gonna enhance your malenosity, I'm talking about unwanted e-mail.
ok, so Ilost my train of thought in a caffeine/sugar induced mid-morning crash.

short answer: Google. south park scripts. click the underlined things with your mouse. read. or go here

ilikebirds ilikebirdsOG 2002

yea but why google when you know the answer.
i'd rather depend on a carbon base life form than a machine. youloser !

thefunkyfresh thefunkyfreshFounder

deanh77 deanh77Founder

thats one of my favorite episodes. cause its pretty clean. the "Starvin Marvin goes to space" episode is hilarious and very clean. like non-stop laughing, very witty.

ok4now ok4nowOG 2002

ok4now ok4nowOG 2002

ilikebirds ilikebirdsOG 2002

the one with the ehhiopian ?

deanh77 deanh77Founder

the second one. when they go to outer space. they go to a planet called Marklar. I won't say anymore so as not to spoil it for you. In a related note, Apple cod-named their x86 port of MacOS Marklar after the aliens.

ok4now ok4nowOG 2002 deanh77

that is so marklar, i can hardly marklar
