Have you ever been to a retail clothing store, like The Gap or Merrigoround, and watched the associates stock clothing on the shelves or displays? I've always been amazed at how efficient they are. "Fold fold, place on the display...fold fold, place..." Amazing.
I went to a military college and they "teach" you how to fold clothing there. The method was simple enough, but involved lots of, what I considered, superfluous folding.
I found the below link, and I think that proves that less is more...I'm just friggin astounded by this...

After a discussion with Crazywolf about sheep farming, I found this little tidbit:
"New Zealand is unique in that over 50 percent of its greenhouse gas emissions arise from methane released by enteric fermentation," said Katharine Hayhoe, an atmospheric scientist at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, Illinois.
Enteric fermentation is methane produced as part of the normal digestive process of animals, such as cows and sheep. It is primarily released in the form of burps.
The 45 million sheep and 10 million cattle in New Zealand make for a lot of burped methane—about 90 percent of that country's methane emissions, according to government figures.
For comparison, livestock are responsible for about 2 percent of the United States' greenhouse gas emissions, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency."
Crazywolf then informed me that NZ proposed a flatulence tax on livestock which was quickly shot down.
Well, at least I'm not anal. Yeesh.

I just realized that I should get a cup of coffee and really wake up before I got into the forums. I'm just too inclined to start bashing and closing, this early in the morning.
Mmmm....cooofffffeeeeeeee.
The simple coincidence that I have used three squirrel avatars has brought many to believe that I have a "thing" for squirrels. While I do like them (pan fried) I'm do not actually have a particular fetish for them.
Rhinos and weregiraffes are my thing. Don't ask.
Anyway, Nic and Sonik sent me these awesome pics. They're humorous enough that I felt I should share.
At the risk of having my testicles wind up in a glass next to my bed, I humbly submit Matt Lauer as Batman, Al Roker as Robin, and Katie Couric as Norma Jean. :-)
You scored as Punk/Rebel.

We were watching comedian Jeff Dunham on Comedy Central tonight and one of his characters brought up a good point about Batman:
A guy in a rubber suit running around with a teenage boy. "No doubt what's going on there, is there?"
I'm kind of sick of people cutting and pasting stuff they have "researched" into new forum threads. It's becoming a trend that bugs the shit out of me. Is seems those threads get a lot of action, and some fairly intelligent discussion, but they are plagues with one liner posts also.
"interesting"
"another great thread, memberX!"
"I agree"
"I disagree"
I feel like a lawnmower weeding the shite out of these threads.

I picked up a bottle of Capt Morgan, tonight and it came with a little treat. Below are pics of the smarmy Capt Margan T-shirt that was strapped to the bottle. Pretty nifty:
Is this a word? I think it's supposed to mean "What's up?" Lately, I have received message after message from newbies with this very "word" embedded. For example:
"sup the squirrel thing is cool"
"sup ur profile is basas"
"sup i luv yor tatoos"
If someone is truly asking "What's up," even in an abbreviated form, should there not be a question mark? Hmmmm? Let's not even get into the spelling and punctuation. Or lack thereof.
I think I'll start copying these into the journal.
For Daire: Before you message me with "Sup," I'll just put my reply, here:
"Piss off, crackboy!"
