Lea....

General Kenobi: Years ago, you served my father in the Clone Wars; now he begs you to help him in his struggle against the Empire. I regret that I am unable to present my father's request to you in person; but my ship has fallen under attack and I'm afraid my mission to bring you to Alderaan has failed. I've placed information vital to the survival of the rebellion into the memory systems of this R2 unit. My father will know how to retrieve it. You must see this droid safely delivered to him on Alderaan. This is our most desperate hour. Help me, Obi-Wan Kenobi; you're my only hope.

Bansky

Perhaps you don't recognize my 'banner' - it's a work by Bansky, who I consider the best artist living today..... It's women lawn bowling with "bombs"



Ironic Sarcasm mixed with Art - LOVE IT..... Look at some Bansky and if you don't like him - Don't speak to me ever again...

FIRE !!!




So, it all almost went up in flames last night -  There was a short circuit arc in one of my shore power cords last night - I woke up at 3am because the backup power supply to the computer was beeping - telling me the power was off.  This has happened before because the heaters can blow the circuit breakers if they come on at the same time - So I check the panel and yes the breakers were thrown - but when I reset them, nothing - Then I noticed from the outside of the boat the flicker of FIRE - the plastic was melting, flames were leaping up and the dock was beginning to burn.  I ran outside in my underwear and managed to disconnect the shore power and toss the cables into the Potomac, then doused the dock fire with some water.  

So So lucky.  Its strange but I NEVER shut myself in the back cabin but last night I did because the clouds were low, bright and reflecting the light of the city, so I shut the cabin doors to keep it dark - and most nights I do wake up around 3am, always have....  This could have been so bad - the boat is fine - I get new cables tomorrow - if the fiberglass had caught, I would have burned up and probably a couple of other boats around me...  "And the Pope arrives tonight"

NCC-1701


Vermicious knid

Greetings to you, the lucky finder of this golden ticket, from Mr. Willy Wonka! I shake you warmly by the hand! Tremendous things are in store for you! Many wonderful surprises await you! For now, I do invite you to come to my factory and be my guest for one whole day — you and all others who are lucky enough to find my Golden Tickets. I, Willy Wonka, will conduct you around the factory myself, showing you everything that there is to see, and afterwards, when it is time to leave, you will be escorted home by a procession of large trucks. These trucks, I can promise you, will be loaded with enough delicious eatables to last you and your entire household for many years. If, at any time thereafter, you should run out of supplies, you have only to come back to the factory and show this Golden Ticket, and I shall be happy to refill your cupboard with whatever you want. In this way, you will be able to keep yourself supplied with tasty morsels for the rest of your life. But this is by no means the most exciting thing that will happen on the day of your visit. I am preparing other surprises that are even more marvellous and more fantastic for you and for all my beloved Golden Ticket holders — mystic and marvelous surprises that will entrance, delight, intrigue, astonish, and perplex you beyond measure. In your wildest dreams you could not imagine that such things could happen to you! Just wait and see! And now, here are your instructions: the day I have chosen for the visit is the first day in the month of February. On this day, and on no other, you must come to the factory gates at ten o'clock sharp in the morning. Don't be late! And you are allowed to bring with you either one or two members of your own family to look after you and to ensure that you don't get into mischief. One more thing — be certain to have this ticket with you, otherwise you will not be admitted. (Signed) Willy Wonka

Willkommen and Heil Pope Benedict XVI

You may have not heard but His Holiness Pope Dracula XVI will be, literally, in MY backyard (our new baseball stadium) next week - I bet his gowns will be a good as her Majesty's from last summer - well almost.



In a (bizarre) defense - His Papal Arms include (no shit, look it up) - A black drag queen / A BEAR / a Phallus / a pretty shell and two lovely tassells - and his name is what the ghays love for brunch, just sayin - Not that there's anything wrong with it.





On that note I post this (pre) photo - I never knew Superman was Catholic??
