By Popular Demand: Sugarfoot Theme Song

"Sugarfoot, sugarfoot, easy lopin' cattle ropin' sugarfoot,
Carefree as the tumbleweeds, ajoggin' along with a heart full of song,
And a rifle and a volume of the law

Sugarfoot, sugarfoot, never underestimate a sugarfoot,
Once you got his dander up, ain't no one who's quicker on the draw

You'll find him on the side of law and order,
From the Mexicali border to the rolling hills of Arkansaw

Sugarfoot, sugarfoot, easy lopin' cattle ropin' sugarfoot,
Ridin' down to cattle town, ajoggin' along with a heart full of song,
And a rifle and a volume of the law"

Odd Thought of the Day: More 12yo Rodents



I asked a friend if she would mind giving me a recent photograph of herself and she courteously declined after getting some feedback of unsetteling nature on it. Apparently the public ruling was that she looks like a twelve-year-old in it - and she wasn't too happy about it.

I encouraged her to look at the plus side; at least she could save on her bus ticket for years to come. This obviously led me to ponder what it would be like to be a 12yo ferret - as I like rodents so very much.

After actually taking the time to research the subject I found out that ferrets disappointedly aren't rodents at all for they are of a species related to otters, skunks, weasels and badgers- another important lesson of why not to judge a book by it's cover. Second unecouraging aspect of a ferret - damn you ferrets! - is that they apparently normally live only six to ten years. This information complitely shattered my lifelong dream of taking a 12yo ferret on a bustrip.

A Squirrel Loving Papillon


I recently read a heartwarming article from SEATTLETIMES.COM about a pregnant Papillon adopting herself a squirrel. After she gave birth to her babies the squirrel could be found happily napping in a pile of puppies who treat him as one of their own kind.

But all cuteness aside I started to wonder if the puppies and the squirrel would eventually start mimicking each other's habits growing up. I mean you've all heard about the dog who started to act like a bunny rabbit after living in the same household together. Not that I mind a Papillon who munches on peanuts and hops from one houseplant to another. And I guess in all fairness I have always wanted to see a squirrel on a leash...

Headache Source : Pokemon

Can someone just please explain to me (in detail) just WTF is Pokemon all about!? Even my four-year-old nephew is like 'bitch please, take a nap' when I desperately try to figure this show out. A show that is obvious to him and all the other kids in their toddler years - or so it seems.

But seriously, they throw a ball in the air and it becomes this animagus figurine thingy?? And then they make these figurines fight?? Is Pokemon the thing inside the ball?? Oh and apparently they are a collector's items too.

God, I really need to stop thinking about this and save my energy solving other more important matters like which one would win in a battle: Superman or Spiderman? My money is on Spidey, because come on, he's got the sticky webs he can throw in the air! And wouldn't Superman get all tangled up in them?

Odd Thought of The Day: Hamsters


I was talking with a friend about Amsterdam and how great it would be to live there and for the sake of efficiency she started to refer to the city as 'Amster'.
This of course led me to fantasise about an animated show about hamsters with 'Amster' being the deadbeat, meth-head brother of the lead hamster 'Harold' who runs his own successful engineering company.

Fun Fact: Goldfish in Memoriam



Did you know that a goldfish has a memory span of only a few seconds? I have always wondered (no really) how a fish can live in such a small habitat without dying of boredom.

I guess this explains why they never get bored swimming around that bowl all day - they swim one circle and then forget about it as they start another one. So from this perspective it makes it a whole new adventure for them every time they start that circle. And here I was just thinking fish were dumb.
