The Not-So Har Har Moment of the Day

India Farmer Has Cow That Eats Chickens

CALCUTTA, India (AP) -- When his chickens started disappearing a few weeks ago, a farmer in eastern India figured dogs or jackals were to blame - until he discovered his calf making a meal of his poultry.

Moloy, who uses only one name, and his 1-year-old calf have since become local celebrities, with the carnivorous cow appearing on television in India's West Bengal state and hundreds of people flocking to see them in Chandipur, a village 145 miles southwest of Calcutta, the state capital.

"To catch the culprit, Moloy got up very early ... and to his disbelief found that it was his calf which came out from the cow shed and was eating the chickens alive," Debjyoti Chatterjee, a local resident who filmed the calf eating a chicken, said Thursday.

The local veterinarian was at a loss for an explanation.

"I've never read or heard about cows turning carnivorous," said Mihir Tripathy. "They eat grass and other vegetarian food but not fish or other non-vegetarian stuff."

He Looks Awfully Familiar, That Charlie...

That blonde hair and very British face...



The funky clothes...



The shades...



Oh. Right.

Too Depressed To Make This Any Good

S6 The 24 HC continues

****SPOILER ALERT****


5PM to 6PM
:

Jack Bauer has a love of Consulates that no one understands. First the Chinese, now the Russians.

What the Russians do not have, is a love of Jack Bauer. Particularly that consule whose finger got clipped for a smoke.

Does anyone else notice that Tom Lennox, played by Peter MacNicol, when thinking up something ridiculous has the same dastardly expression on his face as John Cage on Ally McBeal? Not that I watched Ally McBeal or anything...heh heh.

Moving along! My reason for depression can be found on the head count.

Head Count: Update - Those Mother Chuckers killed Assad! NOOooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, Dr. Bashir whhhhhyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy. 1 + half of the little finger. Let this be a lesson to us all - JB and Cigar Clippers are a dangerous combination; and you thought the DC was smoking and your lungs.

I know. I deserve to be clipped too.

Currently listening to: my conscience and sleepiness all mixed up as one in my head, with my c. trying to get me to stop being wrong and hateful in my posts while my s. is trying its hardest to blame bad blogging on brain tiredness.

Discovered Today By Or 2 (A Music Post)

I discovered today:

a song by Rhinna and Sean Paul that sounds an awful lot like an MSI song gone horridly wrong. I bet Jimmy loves it.
(Sorry Beetchie, the music and the vocals just didn't go together. It was an odd combination)

a song by the band Cartel (yep, this the first time we're all hearing of them) called "Honesty". It was the most god awful 'thing' I've heard in a very long time. Tune? Honestly, there was none. Lyrics? Honestly, I could hear nothing because of the cacophony. Honestly, "Honest" is horrific! This write up is almost as horrific. Almost.

a song by Fergie called "Glamorous". Did I hurl? Yes. Was it glamorous? As glamourous as Fergie, yes. Does that make it foul? Yes. As expected.

a video by Justin T. featuring Scarlett J. Seeing SJ D.T.E. at the end of said video, makes for some wonderful viewing.

a video by Evanescence that made the "Guilty Pleasures Countdown" on Fuse. I would think the term guilty pleasure refers to music that you like that you know you shouldn't. It gives me great joy to see that Evanescence is on that countdown because people, we need to all admit that they are rubbish. Why anyone would be listening to them though, is beyond me.

Disclaimer: Or 2 is not being an elitist, regardless of the label I've given it.

Huh...

Where is SAF, I mean...Taylor Hicks?

It's March 1st in the Year 2007 and Canadians Are Still Being AssHats

What are these Canadians going on aboot?!

Arctic Canadians say U.S. emissions violate human rights

POSTED: 2:04 p.m. EST, March 1, 2007

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Northern Canadians told an international commission Thursday that carbon emissions from the United States have contributed so much to global warming that they should be considered a human rights violation. One activist said temperatures have climbed so much that Arctic residents need air conditioners.

The case was pressed by the Inuit community before the 34-nation Inter-American Commission on Human Rights.

In a petition, the group asked the commission's assistance "in obtaining relief" from the impact of global warming, and makes specific reference to the United States as the country most responsible for the phenomenon.

The commission, however, lacks the legal authority to compel the United States to take action.

Sheila Watt-Cloutier, an Inuit activist, said the well-being of her people is under threat -- and that the need for air conditioning is just one example of the spread of global warming.

Climate change is "destroying our right to life, health, property and means of subsistence," she said. "States that do not recognize these impacts and take action violate our human rights."

She said ice formations are much more likely to detach from land, and take unsuspecting hunters out to sea where they face an uncertain fate.

Beyond that, she said hunters can no longer be sure of ice thickness and whether it is safe to travel.

"Many hunters have been killed or seriously injured after falling through ice that was traditionally known to be safe," she said.

The United States did not respond to the Inuit claims before the commission, an arm of the Organization of American States. The Bush administration has said it is taking steps to reduce global warming, but domestic and international critics say it is not doing enough, given that the United States is the world's largest emitter of greenhouse gases.

Scientists generally agree the Arctic is the first place on Earth to be affected by rising global temperatures. They say that if developed nations such as the United States -- responsible for one-fourth of world's greenhouse gases -- do not dramatically reduce their emissions within the next 15 years, the Arctic ice likely will melt by the end of the century.

The Inuit population hails from Canada, Russia and Greenland, as well as Alaska, where they are known as Eskimos. They have been trying to tell the world for more than a decade about the shifting winds and thinning ice that have damaged the hunting grounds the Northern peoples have used for thousands of years.

Watt-Cloutier was nominated with former Vice President Al Gore for a Nobel Peace Prize for their work on climate change.

Though their arguments are true, I think we should charge Canadians as being human rights violations, on the merit that they're Canadian.

Currently thinking about listening to: Either "The Pot" by Tool. "Who are you to wave your finger? you must be have been out your head...soapbox house of cards and glass so don't go tossing your stones around. You must have been high."

Bleach Weekly! Episode 117, Yay!

Alright.

This week's episode, let's talk about how those Arrancar got some stylish, rockin' theme music! I want that piece NOW! Unfortunately, it's not anywhere for purchase yet. Grrrrr. I need to go Arrancar on some bitches but um, not D-Roy. Why did they have to kill off one of the good-looking ones so soon?

The other thing this week we need to discuss - those crazy bitches that we love!

Chappy!



Uh...



Oww! Umm, bweak?



Asano and Ikkaku!



This has to be the greatest scene. Ever.





But Ikkaku, why do you have to tramautize poor Asano? Heehee.

Kon Abuse Sighting: 1 scene. Yep, it was a diss to Kon even though he wasn't there.

I Need To Lay Off The Hooligans!

He's young* but I like him.



That's right, he's another ugly Brit. Uh, not that Matt's an ugly Brit. That's not what I meant! Nor is Alex, really! He's a cutie.

*note: I swear I'm not pulling an MC.

Currently listening to: "Bigger Boys and Stolen Sweethearts" by Arctic Monkeys. I hope I don't get screwed over in May because I'm really excited right now. TD5! A.M. in NYC May (I'm guessing) and MUSE @ WS in June! Saweeet! Oh yeah, I meant to tell you that LCD Soundsystem will be here sometime too. April, I think it was. But who cares about that?

A Whole Lotta Asses

Got your attention, yes? Well, ha! Foiled! 90% of you will not be interested at all in this post but I'm not really doing it for you.

This here, is the Bleach Fanatical Post of Our Favourite Characters ("our" being Beetchie and Or 2! - we've discussed the categories and how we'd break it down. This is going to tough to decide...so tough)!!!! Oh and Gen, contribute! If you want me to post it on here, e-mail it to me or you can leave it in the comment section if you so desire.

Everyone's an ass in this show but they all have certain degrees of assiness.

Or 2's List of the "Asses" -

Top 5 Asses

1. Hitsugaya Toshiro, The 10th Squad Captain of the Gotei 13. Ahh, my favourite. What's there for me to not love about a bitchy, silver spikey-headed kid?

2. Rukia - I said it before and I'll say it again...Shinigami and their bunnies.

3. Byakuya Kuchiki, The 6th Squad Captain of the Gotei 13. Those clips are hotness. Don't deny, people. Don't deny.

4. Ichigo Kurosaki- his name is not Bleach, HOchie 1!

5. Jushiro Utikate - he's quiet, got white hair and sickly. As Beetchie put it, if I were to be a Captain, I'd be him.

Honourable mentions: Zaraki Kenpachi, The 11th Squad Captain of the Gotei 13 - Yeah. He runs around looking for fights but he's clever and cool in his own right. Truth be told, he probably made this list thanks to the bells.

Ishida Uryu - so I like the nerd with the glasses who keeps talking about Quincy pride. Sue me.

Top 5 Evil AssHats - Two Cheeks, Was It?

They're cute, they're funny, they're crazy motherchuckers. And I've paired them because I realize they shine when together, not to mention it makes it easier for me to cheat. Heh Heh Heh.

1. Ikkaku Madarame & Yumichika Ayasegawa - from afro hair to wigs, shiny bald heads, crazy dancing, crazy chanting, wooden sword weilding, air sniffing and onigiri - these two are the best.

2. Ichigo Kurosaki & Rukia Kuchiki. I love Rukia! But I love her more when she's ragging on her boy.

3. Rangiku Matsumoto - so she isn't in a pair but she's got enough to stand on her own. Yes. I said it. And meant it. She 'molests' everybody. This B. is crazy. Love her!

4. Yourichi and Urahara Kisuke - they show up to 'help' after everything is done. You can't get any more asshattish than that. And look, one of them is referred to as "Sandle-Hat"! It's fitting, it really is.

5. Shunsui Kyoraku, The 8th Squad Captain of the Gotei 13. He's another stand alone asshat. His chasing after women, sake drinking, pink clad self is hilarious.

Honourary Mention: Isshin Kurosaki - it's hard to find a place for him now that he's so freakin' awesome! Creepy, 'old' man turned kick ass, still creepy 'old' man!

Top 5 Bad-Asses

1. Aizen Sosuke, the former 5th Squad Captain of the Gotei 13 - He messed with EVERYBODY. Oh what a bitch and I certainly didn't see it coming. He's evil to the core and I love him for it. After Toshiro, he's my second favourite captain.

2. Shinji Hirako - okay, so maybe he isn't truly bad. But he's cool and I'll leave him here for now since he's not exactly on the side of the Shinigami (though quite frankly, them Soul Society bitches are messed up). He has Vash The Stampede's voice (Masaya Onosaka), of course I love him.

3. Ichigo's Hollow - what an asshole. But a bad-assed asshole!

4. Ichimaru Gin, former 3rd Squad Captain of the Gotei 13 - that smirk! Damned fox face!

5. Ulquiorra - he's quiet and knows his limits. But I really like him because his eyes are green and his hair is jet black, and no, not because he can actually pull his eyeball out.

*This list could change because that whole Arrancar thing just started and goodness knows I expect some more bad-asses to show up.

Supporting Asses

1. Kon - Kon! Kon! Kon! I love his stupid ass. I love when he's in plushie form and I love him when he's in Ichigo's body. It's impossible to not love him. Seriously. He's a mascot for the show and he knows it. It's a blatant plug if ever we did see one but that's what makes it even cooler.

2. Asano Keigo - I feel bad that Ikkaku roughed him up but his constant whining about how he's being ignored and soon to be friendless cracks me up. There's also his stupidity about seeing things that shouldn't be. No, Asano, it's not a filming of a movie. Ha, what a great guy.

3. Hanataro - awww. He's so lame it's painful to watch sometimes but he's a sweetie. No, Beetchie, I am not a member of the 4th Squad!

4. Nova - he's so quiet and sweet. I love when he gets all shy and zips up his mask. I know we probably won't see much of him anymore but I'll have my memories.

5. Tsubaki - Any asshole who bitch slaps Orihime around and tells her like it is (you know, that she's a stupid bitch) deserves to be applauded.

Assbacks

This is the list of my most hated characters.

1. Orihime. Useless bitch.
2. Tousen. Useless, boring asshole.
3. Mayuri. He scares me.
4. Yamamoto. The 1st Squad Captain is kind of boring, yeah?
5. Yami. Of the Arrancar, he's the worst thus far.

S6 Probably Sucks Because There's No More Tony A.

S6 24 HC continues and again, I've not much to say other than,

4 PM to 5 PM:

1. Alright, so that guy made that bomb like nobody's buisness. Security should have suspected him though 'cause any highlighter not bearing the sharpie name should be suspected as housing dangerous chemicals to recreate bombs!

2. That "thing" the Russians had in the crate, looked just like a toilet to me. Kind of like a toilet one would find on the Enterprise. Nuclear device, was it? Yeah, probably.

Head Count: Unsure. Could be 1. But speaking of the Enterprise, please, please, please don't let Dr. Bashir be dead. =,(

Currently listening to: "Red Rabbits" by The Shins. I'm not sure how I feel about these The Shins. They're good to listen to sometimes but I'm sure, like Modest Mouse, if I ever ended up at a concert of their's for whatever reason, I'd be added to some sort of Head Count from the coma.

What's Up With Bands and Their Love of The Ocean?

And pirates? And ships?

I saw three videos tonight and one a few days ago that all had similiar themes. Three of those were all those indie type alternative bands: Blue Monday, Modest Mouse and The Shins. I can't say I really cared for Blue Monday but the other two videos were pretty good.

As for the 4th, that was just MUSE being lazy by being on that ship. Far Away. Taking Me...far away.

He Looks Awfully Familiar, That Marv...

I love Marv. He reminds me of someone else but I can't...quite...place...it...

The Hooligan face...



The crazy hair...



The keyboard...



Oh. Right.

Ugly in Life, Ugly as a Hollow, Ugly as an Arrancar

It's the Bleach Weekly Photo Post that *sort of contains spoilers*! Episode 116!

Some of those Arrancar are kind of hideous.

There's Shawlong:



Edorad (or Edward as it sounded like to me):



and Nakim (the ugliest of them all! Thug!):



But for every ugly Arrancar, there's a good-looking one (thank goodness 'cause my eyes were startin' to hurt). So I guess things even out.

Droy (what a stupid ass name):



Ilforte:



and of course, Grimmjow



But let it be known that I hate that freakin' Grimmjow because he called my Ulqiu. stupid! So what if he can do that freaky eye thing I don't like to think about or that Grimmjow is right about just killing them one time because we all know Ichigo's going to be problems later. Stop proving your point!

Hmmm, I think I need to start doing Kon abuse counts for the week. So here goes! Kon Abuse Sighting: 1 scene.



Dearest Gen,

Have no fear! The really fantastic pictures are all captured even if not in this post. Expect the good stuff posted on your space soon...heh heh heh.

Oh and does anyone else think it really cute that Yumi sniffed out that Hollow?

I Failed...Again.

I couldn't say anything to my kid. (Yes, HOchie 1, the side profile works out for me but the front not so much. He might just be an HK). I do have one thing to say about my kid though: he's as skinny as that twix he was eating.

Itunes - Some The Times Coolness

I happened upon it a few weeks ago but Itunes now carries almost the entire Final Fantasy Discography. How awesome is that?! I mean, I already have the stuff after years of collecting (all thanks to Bughie J.!) but still, that's pretty sweet. I'll have to see if they carry anime soundtracks as well, and of course, other video game soundtracks.

Nerd Rant Ends Now.

FFXII Is Distracting Me

The 24 HC is not going to be a long post tonight:

3 PM to 4 PM:

All I have to say is, UK cats love their whiskey.

Chad Lowe is a mess.

and Logan no longer looks like Nixon or is that how Nixon would look with a beard?

Head Count - 2.

Sunday, February 18, 2007

It is no longer "SF". It is now "SAF".

The word 'ass' is in there somewhere. Figure it out.

To HOchie 1:

The music of MUSE is not the kind that kills people.

Currently listening to: "Survivalism" by Nine Inch Nails. Ignore the song title! Stupid NIN for working against me.

There's Something Very Wrong with USA

Maybe it's just me but any television channel that tries to pass of Patch Adams as a romantic comedy seems rather...wrong.

Currently listening to: X with classic quotes such as "Maybe you didn't stick that swab (Zycam) far enough up your nose?" and "I don't know, I would have totall shot him in the leg." and

Or 2: I think it's disturbing they mixed that classical piece.
X: I think it's great, 'oh yeah! get down!' You know some rappers are gonna be all over that!
Or 2: Yeah, my fear is that they're going to start remixing every damned piece of classical music they're going to get their hands on.
X: Well they are running out of things to remix.

Bleach Post - Episode 115

**Spoilers, kind of***

For Gen!

I've decided to post a weekly fan-girl Bleach blog full of the memorable and/or cute scenes from our favourite anime.

This week: ALL HAIL FRIENDS!



Even though they do enjoy kicking us in the face... (Rukia, why do you always have to be a little bitch?!)

It's all about the kind of friends who are 'suspect' at best:



Honestly, though, if you know they're suspect, why would you mess with them? You deserve whatever you get, Stupids!



And Ichigo...



seriously, you're right...is it some sort of a picnic?

Now for the picture post on Frenemies!



Just leave my Captain alone!



What a cutie.

Finally, a picture post on enemies, of the animated hotness variety -





Damnable hot, traitor!

"Go and Save Yourself...

Chris Cornell to Leave Audioslave

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Chris Cornell is leaving rock group Audioslave, citing "irresolvable personality conflicts as well as musical differences."

"I wish the other three members nothing but the best in all of their future endeavors," Cornell said Thursday in a statement.

An after-hours call to Audioslave's music label was not immediately returned.

Cornell, 42, a former singer and guitarist with Seattle grunge band Soundgarden, said he'll release a solo album May 1 called "Carry On." He also co-owns a restaurant in Paris, where he splits his time.

Audioslave was formed in 2001 and comprised of Cornell and three former members of Rage Against the Machine. The group recorded three albums and performed in Havana in 2005.

Meanwhile, Rage Against the Machine planned to reunite to perform at this year's Coachella Valley Arts and Music Festival, which runs April 27 through 29. Tom Morello, the lead guitarist of Rage Against the Machine and Audioslave, has said the concert is a one-shot deal.

...And take it out on me."

Needless to say, The HOchieS are in mourning.

We knew that something was up when there was no tour for the last album. We're thankful that we did see them in concert (goodness knows that was one of the best - way better than Matisyahu)

Or 2 is placing the blame on Chris, while HOchie 1 is citing Sweet D as the cause of the break up. I had to correct her and tell her that it's Vicki.

*Editors' Note: Now H1 is citing TomOno as the cause of the breakup.

Whatever the case may be, they'll all be alright. Chris is an awesome vocalist, awesome being an understatement. My Rage boys are fantastic, fantastic being an understatement.

Our only hope is that this means there might be the second coming or RATM. The HOchies can dream...

Quotes & Conversations of the day, on Audioslave -

Bughie J., "at least they weren't one of those bands that sticks together forever and just rehashes old songs onto "new" albums, also they can disperse their talents into a largely talentless music industry and maybe make it a little better!"

Or 2: Call me!

Battler: Wow you never want me to call you. you must be broken-hearted over Tom. I'll try to give you a ring later.

Or 2: nah, just wanted to say hi

Battler: Aw, now i feel really touched. You must be sick.

Currently listening to: "Getaway Car" - Audioslave. ...sniff... R.I.P.
