Marvel vs. DC

Well, I was going to give you guys something to look at besides my vague descriptions of my gastrointestinal difficulties. (It was going to be Spider-man farting, if I could find something). But I found these videos instead.

They're riffs on the Mac vs. PC commercials, and they are funny stuff. Have a look! (But give it time to load, there are 6 of them! Wohoo!)

Whys and Whatfors

My apologies for no Sunday blog, and technically no real Saturday blog, either.

May 5th, Saturday, was the one year anniversary of when we adopted my nephews. Their mother was brutally murdered in the November of 2002, and after lengthy court battles to terminate the parental rights of their father (who is the prime suspect), we were able to adopt them last year.

We celebrated by going to a 9:15 AM showing of Spider-Man 3, followed by a nice lunch at Chili's and dessert at the Dairy Queen right next door. Then we went grocery shopping.

Okay, so food shopping is not quite the celebratory event most people do, but we needed to eat later this week.

By the time we got home, it was around 2PM. The kids went off to do their thing, Mom went off to do hers, and i was too worn out to think and write a blog. So I played WoW.

Sunday ... well, it was hectic all morning into the afternoon, and I was tummy ill and sore-throated all day. (Is sore-throated a word?) I decided to take Sunday off from blogging, as well. So I played WoW.

Which brings us to today. Up at 7 AM, get the kids fed and make sure they are ready for school, drive to the bus stop, home for my own breakfast (Honey Bunches of Oats, Yum!), then ... snnnrrrrrkkkkkkk ... I went back to bed until my aunt called my cell at around 10:45 AM. I might still be asleep if she hadn't called.

Well, that's not entirely true. More tummy issues issues today. I've had to stop writing and hit the bathroom four times so far in the last hour. I hate my diabetic pills that do this to me, but it is honestly better than feeling like I do if I miss taking them for a day.

So there you have it.

Oh, and my mini-review of Spider-Man 3? Go see it. Spider-Man 2 was superior, but this one is good, if muddled with too much going on and too many coincidences. (Where the hell did the Osborn butler come from, just in time to lay some important information out there? and more important, does he hang out with Alfred Pennyworth on his days off?)

I'll catch up on the Penny doubled daily thing tomorrow. Right now the porcelain God is calling for a fifth meeting. *sigh*

Funny Church Signs (Sorta)

How many times have you been driving down the road when you suddenly spy a church billboard sign with some witty (or otherwise) saying? There are entire websites devoted to showcasing the more humorous, oddball, or shocking signs encountered across America. Or Google "funny church signs" on Google Image search for a large selection.

Today, I bring you four never-before-seen church sign sayings.

A Dark Day for Religion
Just Knuckle Under and Go Already
Seven Days Without Prayer Makes One Weak?
And my most favorite of all:

Wow! Good Thing I Visit!

Okay, none of these are real signs. Well, the signs are real, but the text on them was done using a generator from this website. It's amazing how many blogs and websites post these generated images as being real. The people who created the generator did a great job with it.

Though, on three of the 4 images above, I did wipe their URL off the signs in favor of my own tongue-in-cheek choices.

Did they fool you? When did you catch on? Got any funny sayings you'd like to see on a church sign? Got any real sayings you've seen and want to share? My comment box is hungry for your words. ~.^

Ninja Kitty Cattle Academy

Well, some dissatisfaction of the amount of Ninja Kitty posts has been voiced, so instead I bring you ... Ninja Cows!

The first Ninja Cow is not really a cow. It is one of the Ninja Kittys in disguise. His cover was almost blown while on a top secret mission in India. The locals were running a underground beef packing plant using all the sacred cows. The Ninja Kitty operative, disguised as one of those cows, was slated to be tenderized that day and he had to break cover to escape, using all of his hard earned Ninja Kitty skills to do so.

It was all caught on tape:


Next we have a true cow, trained under the auspices of the Ninja Kitty Academy (Now Accepting Initiates of ALL Species!), battling a roaming ronin. This was a final test for the Ninja Cow, who was unaware of this.


The test was an udder failure for Gray Zhing Cow. She milked her training for every trick she knew, but in the end, she made a fatal mis-steak. Her finishing moo-ve failed, and she was deflated, I mean, defeated.

Ninja Kitty Academy - Guard Duty

Here, in another promotional piece from the once super-secret Ninja Kitty Academy, we see Initiates Tabby Wraith and Striped Thunder in the classic Yu Noh Go pose often employed by Ninja Kitty guards. Though their perch seems precarious, these fatal felines can stay like this, unmoving except for the ear rotation marking sounds, for hours upon end. Yet they are perfectly balanced to leap upon unwelcome intruders in a blink of an eye.
