Happy Veterans / Remembrance Day! Uh, do you use happy for such a thing? I suppose not… I’ll just say that, we will remember then. And to my 3 WWII combat vet uncles – rest in peace…

I apologize ahead of time if my comments are a little off tonight. Shanny is running off like 7hrs of sleep for 2 days. But it’s all good and I do have some goodies for everyone!!

1.) Read this paragraph, it comes from http://www.catschwartz.com/.

Aoccdrnig to rscheearch at an Elingsh uinervtisy, it deosn´t mttaer in waht
oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoetnt tihng is taht the frist
and lsat ltteer are in the rghit pclae. The rset can be a toatl mses and
you can sitll raed it wouthit a porbelm. Tihs is bcuseae we do not raed
ervey lteter by it slef but the wrod as a wlohe and the biran fguiers it
out aynawy! Jizzaight!!!

Isn’t that nifty?

2.) Stare this pic for a moment. It’s trippy.



Bizzare eh?

3.) Interesting facts you didn’t need to know.

1. A rat can last longer without water than a camel.

2. The dot over the letter "i" is called a tittle.

3. Donald Duck comics were banned from Finland because he doesn't wear pants.

4. Because metal was scarce, the Oscars given out during World War II were made of wood.

5. The name Wendy was made up for the book "Peter Pan". There was never a recorded Wendy before.

6. The very first bomb dropped by the Allies on Berlin in World War II killed the only elephant in the Berlin Zoo.

7. Roses may be red, but violets are indeed violet.

8. The phrase "rule of thumb" is derived from an old English law which stated that you couldn't beat your wife with anything larger than your thumb......WHAT???

9. Charlie Chaplin once won third prize in a Charlie Chaplin look-alike contest.

4.) And to end on a joke.

A guy walks past a mental hospital and hears a moaning voice "13.......13.......13.........13" the man looked over to the hospital and saw a hole in the wall, he looked through the hole and gets poked in the eye. The moaning voice then groaned '14.........14.........14.......14.'

Shanny’s in a VERY strange mood tonight…

And the winner of the quote-guessing thing is… NightBeck, go you!

I gave it to you all in the post. It’s from the Record of Lodoss War. Well, my manager at work, the one I despise, broke her ankle and won’t be in for a while. Is it wrong to be glad of something like that? The only thing I know is she won’t be working with me for a while, yippie! Well, I just did a quote-guessing thing, time for something different. As Shanny digs into her big list and of useless stuff. It’s useless fact time again! We’re going for the weird laws this time. Brought to you by a state or province near you! I was thinking of some of you when I found these. Dagger, Aurus, Red tigress, and Someguy, these are for you!

It’s time for, what I like to call… Shanny’s did you know?

Ahem…

That in Hagerstown, MD there is a law that prohibits men with goatees from eating at restaurants in that city? If they pay a $2.50 fee they ‘have the right’ to eat in any place that food is sold.

That in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, it’s illegal for a child to exceed 10mph on a tricycle.

That in Seattle, Washington you can’t bring a cat on a bus if a dog is already aboard.

And finally a silly law from Tigress and my state: In Roanoke, VA women can’t go into a saloon to loiter or buy liquor. Uh, opps, sorry officer. O.o

And on a final note, a nifty headstone from a cemetery in London, England:

Sir John Strange
Here lies an honest lawyer,
And that is Strange

Hope you all enjoyed. To get a weird law from your state or province please send your request with a small donation to… *is whacked by bf* um… nevermind. ^,^ Hope you liked!

Everyone else was putting up an animation, so…

My day, hmm, well, I really didn’t DO anything today. I borrowed The Record f Loduss War and The Prophecy from my friend. I love that movie! Christopher Walken rocks. I have realized, also, that I have a big mouth. Even over the Internet! And that’s saying something! So, I don’t mean to offend really. I’m just kind of, how should I say it, blunt. In other news, I just got a lap top (last one in the world, I know), so if my posts are like typo queen-ish, sorry. I hate and suck at typing on notebook key things. But I shall get used to it! Tigress, Beck, I love our little three way chats! Aurus you’re great too! You should join us sometime. ^,^ Nikki, you need a chat thing! Oh, and thanks to everyone who visits me regularly. I love you all!

Usually I leave the quote, but tonight I’m going for something a little different, I’m going to make you guess what it’s from, muahah! Hint: It’s from an anime. Okies, here it is…

“That boy couldn’t kill time if he wanted to.”

O.o I'm lost... but that's not unusual! :P

I’m proud of my self, I watch Yu-gi-oh! for the first time last night. Err, I was kinda lost since it was my first experience, but other than that it was ok! Although I am totally devoid of the show’s background. Why does that Pegasus guy have to be so damn annoying and what is up with his cartoon fetish? What’s wrong with his right eye? Or is it the left? Why is Yu-gi a kid? And then can like get taller? Are these purple-eyed people not human? Why do they play card games in the first place?

*Sighs* Enough of my questions for now. I think if I knew what was going on, it would be a cool show. In other news: We bought Princess Mononoke recently!!! Does that movie not rock?! Do those tentacle things not freak you out?!

Man, I’m just full of the questions tonight! So I’ll stop, and leave you with a quote…

”I once had a rose named after me and I was very flattered. But I was not pleased to read the description in the catalogue: "no good in a bed, but fine up against a wall." ~Eleanor Roosevelt

Howdy everyone! If I don’t get to everyone’s site tonight, I’m sorry. I’m supposed to go to my parents’ house later on. *Sigh* Anywho, thanks for everyone’s wishes yesterday. I had loads of fun! Oh, shinyfairylights, aurus, tigress, and Beck, you can go check out ff.net now! *Hint hint* Last Chance just may be there… :) Well, whenever they decide to post it. You know how ff.net can be…

Question: Have you ever, or ever wanted to stalk someone?

It was great!

Well I just got back from Revolutions, and may I say – I thought it rocked!!! The War hath begun! There are things I would love to talk about, but alas I don’t want to spoil it for you all going Friday. So this weekend we can b*tch about some things. Oh, everyone out there who likes the anime Blue Gender will love the fighting in this movie! THAT WAS THE BEST MEC BATTLE I HAVE EVER SEEN!! Ahh, mecs, you gotta love them! And, dun dun dun, the showdown everyone was waiting for! It rocked. I must also add that I love the Merovingian. He is the coolest character ever.

On a different note, if anyone remembers when I posted that I was supposed to meet a friend I haven’t seen in like 2 years, but she couldn’t make it at the last minute… well, I saw her today! Totally out of the blue. I was so excited! So it’s been a most excellent day for me. I hope everyone’s was great also. And sorry that you can’t go until Friday Tigress.

   Total randomness…

Is anyone else excited that Matrix Revolutions opens tomorrow?!?! I am! So, who’s going to see it? *Raises hand* Also, has anyone ever heard the song The Ladder by Yes? You know, the one at the end of the first Homeworld. I don’t know why I thought of it, but I LOVE that song! It brings back the good ‘ol days of playing FF7 while listening to it. *nostalgic, then grumbles about how hard HW II is* Ahh… and I’ve also realized that I spend no time at the OB at all! I’ve posted like a handful of times! Hehe, but now that I know molletta and NightBeck are there, I am determined to rectify my slothfulness! *tries to drag self away from mO unsuccessfully* I just love you guys too much. ^,^

And thank you so much for the banners Aurus!! *snuggles down in Aurus’ dragon layer until she gets mad and kicks me out* And I hope I was able to help you a little last night Nikki my dear. *hugs Nikki*

A little morning humor...

One night, a Delta twin-engine puddle jumper was flying somewhere above New Jersey. There were five people on board: the pilot, Michael Jordan, Bill Gates, The Dali Lama, and a hippie.
Suddenly, an illegal oxygen generator exploded loudly in the luggage compartment, and the passenger cabin began to fill with smoke. The cockpit door opened, and the pilot burst into the compartment. "Gentlemen," he began, "I have good news and bad news. The bad news is that we're about to crash in New Jersey. The good news is that there are four parachutes, and I have one of them!" With that, the pilot threw open the door and jumped from the plane.
Michael Jordan was on his feet in a flash. "Gentlemen," he said, "I am the world's greatest athlete. The world needs great athletes. I think the world's greatest athlete should have a parachute!" With these words, he grabbed one of the remaining parachutes, and hurtled through the door and into the night.
Bill Gates rose and said, "Gentlemen, I am the world's smartest man. The world needs smart men. I think the world's smartest man should have parachute, too." He grabbed one, and out he jumped.
The Dali Lama and the hippie looked at one another. Finally, the Dali Lama spoke. "My son," he said, "I have lived a satisfying life and have known the bliss of True Enlightenment. You have your life ahead of you, you take a parachute, and I will go down with the plane."
The hippie smiled slowly and said, "Hey, don't worry, pop. The world's smartest man just jumped out wearing my backpack."
