but the same goes for my sadness…&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Frankly, I can’t stand the hypocrisy.  These people think I’m disgusting but I submit that they are the truly unclean creatures.  The missus puts me in her rectum one day and straight to junior’s mouth I go on the next, without even getting a bath.  And then they wonder why the flu spreads through the family like an Australian bushfire.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;At times though, I prefer the ass over the armpit…at least I feel like a man, not a dirty jock strap.  But no matter how I look at it, I know Galileo never intended for me to be put in places where the sun don’t shine.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;The worst days are when bits of undigested food make their way through the colon, the duodenum, the ileum, the jejunum, all the way to the sphincter.  And I must say, the old lady’s a mighty fine cook when it comes to Asian cuisine.  Of course, the posterior end of the food’s travels can be grotesque; the other day I was wearing an undigested popcorn kernel as a hat.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Competition never leaves the life of a thermometer either, but my work is not appreciated.  The barometers are always bragging they deal with tough elements of nature outside.   But I know the elements of nature…and how quickly three platters of refried beans can traverse the human GI tract without warning.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;+ for a thermometer&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;Deep penetrations in females&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;- for a thermometer&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;Deep penetrations in males.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;Digested food in my face.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;Undigested food in my face.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;No union.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;Foul odors.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4801893000309121125-8210320849881062815?l=www.sp0oo.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://www.sp0oo.com/2009/02/thermometers-woes.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (sp0oo)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4801893000309121125.post-4905643896325828041</guid><pubDate>Mon, 09 Feb 2009 06:44:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-02-09T00:48:50.084-06:00</atom:updated><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>Images</category><title>Image of the Day</title><description>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_GAYPZOBRjtw/SY_RxRim31I/AAAAAAAAAHc/Sag4EEFchBE/s1600-h/1213654910my1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left;

Alas!  Hell hath no fury like the desolation of a lost American in Yemen!  Little did I realize when I stepped off that bus, it would be the last time I heard English spoken in quite some time.  53 hours and 14 minutes to be exact.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;The location where we had stopped was about 44 miles from the last stop on the trip—our hotel.  After retrieving all belongings from said hotel in Sanaa, we were going to head for the airport on camelback to catch our flight home, 9 hours from when the heartless, punctilious bus driver stranded me.  Not having my passport was a bummer, but I was carrying my PSP, a couple rubber bands, four paper clips, a small bottle of shampoo I took from the hotel, and a broken pencil, not to mention wearing a gold watch and chain.  Water was essential at this time of day in the hot, arid climate, but there was no water to be found as I trudged purposefully on down the uneven road.  I knew I needed hydration so I found a couple sticks, and, using a rock, sharpened the end of one.  With the rubber bands, paper clips, and other stick I constructed a clumsy bow with which to fire the misshapen arrow I had whittled.  The reason for this was that I saw some birds pecking holes in cacti to reach the nectar inside, and they were flying so I knew it wasn’t poisonous cactus juice.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;“Maybe I shall also be able to fly after imbibing the ambrosial fluid,” I thought begrudgingly.  I fired the arrow into a cactus, scaring the small flock of razor-beaked, bluish-green, bushy-haired birds into flight.  I knew I would need more of the liquid than I could drink at that moment, so I stored some of the ooze for my journey by soaking my shirt.  I then commenced licking up as much as I could while resting.  After my brief respite, I continued my arduous amble in the direction the bus was heading.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Nobody at the stop had spoken English or Latvian, in which I am semi-fluent, but as I was walking I heard the approach of a horse-drawn cart behind me, occupied by an ostensibly poor farmer who had the bright look of one who knows how to use his mind.  I quickly flagged him to stop and motioned with my hands for a ride to the airport.  The several failed attempts at the bus stop had caused me to lose all hesitation in the proceeding.  He looked at me skeptically, so I tendered my PSP and watch to him.  His eyes opened wide as he smiled and graciously beckoned me to join him on the front seat.  When I noticed his jug of water and a sack of some sort of grain I offered my gold chain to him as an exchange.  He immediately accepted and stored his newly acquired goods in a small satchel under the seat.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;This blessing in a horse cart finally allowed me to reach the airport, just 10 minutes shy of my flights departure.  I couldn’t get inside the airport but the flight boarded outside so I ran to the fence and shouted to my fellow students.  And the rest, as they say, is history.  Incidentally, I sued the school for not keeping better tabs of the students.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4801893000309121125-514377389796996044?l=www.sp0oo.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://www.sp0oo.com/2009/02/of-time-i-was-lost-in-yemen.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (sp0oo)</author><thr:total>1</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4801893000309121125.post-5524089487634866261</guid><pubDate>Tue, 03 Feb 2009 21:08:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-02-03T15:08:55.528-06:00</atom:updated><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>Quotes</category><title>Quote of the Day</title><description>The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;~Thomas Jefferson&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4801893000309121125-5524089487634866261?l=www.sp0oo.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://www.sp0oo.com/2009/02/quote-of-day.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (sp0oo)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4801893000309121125.post-2510859240060157397</guid><pubDate>Mon, 19 Jan 2009 05:52:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-01-19T00:02:06.019-06:00</atom:updated><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>Videos</category><title>Video of the Day</title><description>&lt;object width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/SLxCxw5GnPM&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/SLxCxw5GnPM&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The greatest bit of sarcastic complacency ever.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4801893000309121125-2510859240060157397?l=www.sp0oo.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://www.sp0oo.com/2009/01/video-of-day_18.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (sp0oo)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4801893000309121125.post-4317031433427127326</guid><pubDate>Mon, 19 Jan 2009 05:46:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-01-18T23:47:08.639-06:00</atom:updated><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>Videos</category><title>Video of the Day</title><description>&lt;object width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/clWjfQ_xeAQ&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;fs=1"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/clWjfQ_xeAQ&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This may be the worst video I've ever seen.
