Go Fish!

/ Anita Marie / 3 Comments

Do you know I have never written about Monkeys?

God knows why I haven’t done it yet.

I love monkeys.

I love monkeys because they drive Creationists nuts…I mean, Dinosaurs don’t seem to bother them..but Monkeys?

They HATE monkeys.

Anyway.

I love monkeys.

And today I’m writing about them because these Scientists found some monkeys in Thailand that can fish.

Hey.

I’m willing to bet two Pez dispenser and a pack of Grape flavored Pez that those little Monkeys could do that all along.

Geeze.

It doesn’t count unless a Scientist sees it?

Wow.

Does that mean I don’t exist until a Scientist sees me?

A long-tailed macaque monkey looks for fish in a river in Lesan, East Kalimantan, Indonesia, in Sept. 2007. Long-tailed macaque monkeys have a reputation for knowing how to find food, whether it be grabbing fruit from jungle trees or snatching a banana from a startled tourist. Now, researchers say they have discovered groups of the silver-haired monkeys in Indonesia that fish.

The Panty Bandits

/ Anita Marie / 16 Comments

So.

In Colorado these two robbers wore panties ( well…Thongs to be precise ) over their faces ( well noses I guess ) in an attempt to disguise themselves during an armed robbery.

Hey, I’m surprised that a guy who would wear a panty on his face would carry a gun during an armed robbery…if I had to put a weapon into the hand of a Panty Bandit it would be one of those fake Lasar Blasters or Rifle Blasters that they use Battlestar Galactica.

But you know.

 it is a brilliant plan.

( The Thong part )

If a guy was wearing a thong on his face while robbing you well…come one could you ID him?

Didn’t think so.

A Mortician who once discovered a living person in a morgue  tagged and bagged and ready to be taken to a funeral home.

A Politician.

A man whose son was eaten by a shark right in front of  his eyes.

A Grave Digger with cancer.

A woman who used to be a man.

What do they have in common?

They have all asked me the same question….

Sue

Today I found out my brother’s ex-girlfriend died.

She had a disease called Cerebellar Ataxia but what got her was pneumonia.

Her name is Sue and she and my brother have a son named Andy.

Andy has Cerebellar Ataxia too- he’s blind and can’t walk or control his facial muscles and it’s difficult for him to talk, he takes his food through a tube. He’s in his early 20’s and never learned to drive a car, he’s never traveled or had a girlfriend he loves the TV show “Friends”.

He’s in a nursing home.

That’s Andy’s life now- that’s what he grew up to do- to end up bedridden in a nursing home.

I really hate life today.

But that doesn’t mean I don’t intend to make the most of it- I intend to enjoy making every freaking damn second of it count.

For Andy and Sue.

Australian fined for buckling in beer, not child

An Australian man has been fined after buckling in a case of beer with a seat belt but leaving a 5-year-old child to sit on the car’s floor, police said Tuesday.

Constable Wayne Burnett said he was “shocked and appalled” when he pulled over the unregistered car Friday in the central Australian town of Alice Springs.

The 30-can beer case was strapped in between two adults sitting in the back seat of the car. The child was also in back, but on the car’s floor.

“The child was sitting in the lump in the center, unrestrained,” Burnett told reporters Tuesday.

“I haven’t ever seen something like this before,” he said. “This is the first time that the beer has taken priority over a child.”

The driver was fined 750 Australian dollars — about $710 — for driving an unregistered and uninsured vehicle and for failing to ensure a child was wearing a safety belt.

Real Archaeologists Don’t Have Whips

Real archaeologists don’t have whips

I can vouch for that.

I wanted to be an archaeologist pre- Indiana Jones ( this was in 1973 or maybe 1974  so I was about 10 ) until I met one.

He was wearing a Grateful Dead t-shirt and reeked like Patchouli and when I asked if he had ever been in a mummy’s tomb  he said yes, several in fact.

 So of course I asked

” are they really cursed? “

And he says no.

He enjoyed telling me no.

Jerk.

So I said,  ” that’s too bad. “

I decided to be a Mortician after that.
