Am taking a bit of an extended break from RatherSnazzy.

Life's too busy at the moment and my eyes are sore...

Besides, I'm spending far too much time updating my status on Facebook to have time for anything else :-)

See you soon, maybe!

Flying Carpet

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Date: 2008-02-02, 8:12AM EST

To make a long story short, I inherited this from my dad when my folks retired, cleaned out the house and moved south. He was in the oil business for 45 years and traveled all over the world building oil refineries - India, China, Lima, Brazil, Yugoslavia, even got called out to Nigeria once during their civil war. There was no telling where he'd go or what he'd drag home.

One of my problems is that I'm almost a hundred pounds heavier than my dad. This carpet won't lift my weight.

Mainly, I just want it out of the house. I don't have any use for it; it's taking up space; I spend a lot of time away from home and I wouldn't want to see any of the neighborhood children fall from a high altitude or run headlong into a tree and be injured.

Strictly speaking, no pilot's license is required because it falls under Part 103 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14CFR103, ultralights) - it weighs less than 254 pounds, top speed is less than 55 miles per hour and all that. Even though pilot training isn't required, you might still want to learn a little bit about how airspace is allocated and carry an air traffic control radio. We lived pretty close to Chicago's Midway airport and it's almost a miracle my dad never got run over by a DC-9 or sucked into a jet engine.

Anyway, it's a vibrant shade of blue with a sort of Maltese Cross pattern woven in, quite sturdy (for a rug) and about four feet by six. It was professionally cleaned a couple of years ago and it's been stowed in a corner ever since.

No test flights, no demonstrations. It won't lift my weight, I've never seen anybody fly it safely, I'm not a flight instructor, I don't know how to evaluate whether a potential buyer knows what he's doing or not and I don't want to see someone crash in front of my house. If you weigh less than 180 pounds and know what you're doing, great, take it home and enjoy it. If not, maybe you should just put it on the floor in front of your hearth and enjoy it that way.

What you see is what you get. Cash & carry only.

Happy March 14th!

noreply@blogger.com (Mick) — Fri, 14 Mar 2008 12:08:00 +0000

It would seem today is March 14th, which means it's Steak & Blowjob Day, apparently.

"March 14th is now officially "Steak and Blowjob Day". Simple, effective and self explanatory, this holiday has been created so you ladies finally have a day to show your man how much you love him. No cards, no flowers, no special nights on the town; the name of the holiday explains it all, just a steak and a BJ. That's it. Finally, this twin pair of Valentine's Day and Steak and Blowjob Day will usher in a new age of love as men everywhere try THAT much harder in February to ensure a memorable March 14th. It's like a perpetual love machine!"

According to Wikipedia, March 14th should also be noted for porn star birthdays:

1985 - Brianna Love, American porn Star
1985 - Eva Angelina, American porn star
1975 - Johan Paulik, Slovak porn star

EDIT - I notice that today's gift on facebook is steak too!

Paul The Pigeon

noreply@blogger.com (Mick) — Fri, 29 Feb 2008 10:59:00 +0000

This is a picture of Paul the pigeon that is now living above my office. See yesterday's post for more details!

We think there might be two pigeons there. They seem to be trying to make babies.

Pimp My Ride...Kilkenny Style (or possibly Sligo or Galway style)

noreply@blogger.com (Mick) — Thu, 28 Feb 2008 09:36:00 +0000

I took these photos in the Market Cross Shopping Centre car park in Kilkenny on a Sunday morning about 2 weeks ago.

Only getting around to uploading them now...

As you can, someone was very good at art & craft on the Saturday night before these were taken

They even made a penis out of balloons. How novel!

And then wrote Galway Hookers with silly string on the back window.

In other news, we have a pigeon trapped in the roof above our office. We dont know where he got in, but he is between the false ceiling and the roof.

We have decided to name him Paul...and if anyone has any ideas on how to free Paul or to catch him to we can free him to the wilds, can they please let me know.

He's ever so noisy.

Friday is National Duvet Day

noreply@blogger.com (Mick) — Wed, 27 Feb 2008 10:35:00 +0000

This Friday, Feb 29th is National Duvet Day!

duvetday.org invites employers, employees, students and school children to have a duvetday every 4 years, starting the “29th February 2008”. By having a duvetday every leap year and staying at home, you could help the environment by reducing Carbon emissions for that day by up to 80%.

What a great idea!!!

Never mind the puppet, Vote for Donal!

noreply@blogger.com (Mick) — Wed, 20 Feb 2008 12:00:00 +0000

My good friend Donal Skehan is one of the 6 finalists in this years Eurosong competition. Of course, the winner of that competition will go on to represnt Ireland in the Eurovision.

Donal is quite the prolific blogger and his latest one is The Mood Food Blog.

Donal is probably the biggest fan of Eurovision I've ever met, but don't hold that against him. He also has poured his heart and soul into getting this far with his song, "Double Cross My Heart".

As I share an office at work with Donal, I've heard the song close on 100 times now, and have to say that it is worth a vote!

So when it comes to decision night on Feb 23rd, please give donal your text vote...

The day of voting is aslo my birthday, so you can make the vote for Donal my present this year...

Something to make you smile on a Monday...
