I always knew mimi was the devil

"Beware of the Dark side"

Here I have proof;
Mimi is in fact, the devil.
I actually knew it all along, but no one (except my mom) believed me until now...

Aren't they just that cute?

The question one should ask them self when coming to a crossroad in life is;

If nature were a gnat would she be angry?

Ask yourself this often and wise shall ye be.

Ho there, my good man...

"What be ye reading?"

"The life of Robert E. Lee"


"Really? Has he even been born yet?"

"no, I can't even read, I was just jesting with you, can you read?"

"Nay, but lets just make something up to scare the ladies."

The ninja lake

Yes, indeed, I have found the ninja lake (that is: the lake that attracts ninjas, being much too small for pirates and their ships)

Revel in it's glory, bask in it's sneakiness, and sleep by it's...uh... boringness.

Breaking news: Brian the slink challenges the king of the coup, and attempts to steal his wives!

The fierce warrior Brian fights off the great king of chickens (They fought using the weapon of stink)
attempting to claim his lovely wives, only to find there was a vast amount of wire separating him from his prize. Poor, poor Brian. :(

And the waters are lurking with danger...

And the waters are lurking with danger...
The seas filled with peril,
The raging river filled with anger
The lake's gentle shores do flail.

Heed my words, Beware my young,
be cautious, be vigilant and be wary.
That the dangers of fore-said may come hither nary.

Beware:
I suck at poetry
Anyways, this is at the zoo too. Don't feed the turtles.

Behold the dragons of the earth!
Such sneaks. This is at the houston zoo. I took mostly pictures of poisonous snakes so I know what to catch. Plus a few lizzes.
Enjoy the sneakiness.

By the way, that one picture with the big elephant ear with the eye poking out, is a chameleon, he's trying to be stealth, he failed.

Well since blogger ate my last post

After many failed and beaten attempts.
My effort to upload pictures of the zoo has succeeded, but only once, Enjoy.

And please don't "look" at anything.
:)

This is Brian the slinky, Our new ferret.
He's a cinnamon ferret, Male, about 2 years old.
As hyperactive as a bouncing ball and twice a fast, as naughty as a two year old child (and just as curious).
By the way that's water he's drinking, I checked.

relativity is awesome, it is, it is.

Secret Sex Life of green VEGGIES

my first essay (well, first to send into a contest)

THE SECRET SEX LIFE OF GREEN VEGGIES

For starters, green vegetables, like everything else (with the exception of rocks), are alive. This means that they grow, need food, water, and sun. What I am now writing about is incredibly different, as you will soon discover.

Veggies are aggressive, mainly due to the fact that many vegetarians make them seem like they’re the only food group; and this idea is both silly and extremely intimidating. Think about it: how would you like it if someone started saying that dogs are the healthiest thing in the world, and the only thing that should be ingested?!!--I don't think you'd like having your dogs/dog (providing you have one, of course) brutally taken from you and cooked as a main dish with a little gravy.

It’s a commonly known fact that all plants that want to have kids usually have flowers. Of course there are always plants that want to be different and use roots; or those that want to create plain and simple seed pods, and that can be expected. Most plants, however, do make flowers. We are not talking about plants, though, but vegetables. Veggies (as a food) are famous for generally not being included in the reproductive (flowering) part of a plant.

Now I'll explain how these beans we eat, (namely green vegetables), are described. First we have celery: a yummy-looking plant that grows spiny leaves, white flowers, and whose stalks people eat. Celery grows pretty white flowers in enormous clusters, and grows mainly in clusters itself. Celery is short lived and pretty much grows, blooms and dies-providing it is wild and not meant for food. If it is, the celery gets picked when it’s the right size enough and then eaten.

Now, to get a little "dirty", we'll tell you about the fruit of the earth--the lack of which perpetrated the potato famine--taters (yes, potatoes). Taters are a kind of plant you can throw on the floor, and they'll grow from EYES! Potatoes are known for growing straight from the actual root blobs (potatoes) and just shooting up. They are also a flowering vegetable; but the part that we eat (and plant) grows underground. Potatoes are known for being a good class project, since they can grow instantly on the floor--and we all know how brutal those fourth graders can be! They have either yellow or white flowers, which do not create seeds, but I suspect they still have a lot to do with creating the soon-to-be shoots.

Moving along, we have the ultimate aggressive plant of the year: zucchini.

Zucchini is in a class of vegetables that actually grow from flowers, but are still classified as veggies. Some others in this group are peppers, squash, and cucumbers. The notorious zucchini is a vine, like most of the others in this class of veggies. It's got flamboyant yellow flowers on its long tentacles and arms, which fall off, DIE, and are replaced by the zucchini fruit--(which I think tastes good in stir-fry).

Zucchini are evil, leave them alone.

The next on my list is a seriously large food source for sheep, cattle, and chickens. I'm talking about corn, ladies and gentlemen, that funky-looking veggie (believe it or not) that you see farmers in California growing. Corn has a long, stretched-out stem that can grow up to six feet high, and several branches of golden flowers resembling wheat stalks. Corn is something people from the southern part of North America just LOVE!--It's an easy thing to cook; it's cheap, filling, and they grow a ton of it here. Corn seeds grow on a base that can be anywhere from two inches to one foot in length. They grow symmetrically, and can easily be removed from their base with a knife. (As a matter of fact, just about anything can be removed with a knife--tomatoes, squash, or mountains!)

To sum up this last paragraph , I'll say that veggies are a harmless, sweet, food which should be used wisely, unless you want someone to come along and eat your dog!

Expounding on the point about dogs--if you have dogs and veggies in the same yard, make sure to keep the dogs FAR from the garden in which you grow your sweet baby veggies, or you'll have some serious urine poisoning on your hands.

As far as eating vegetables, I'd say to stick to the ones that don't move. (In solemn fact, don't eat ANYTHING that moves, regardless of how yummy it may look!) Other than that, don’t eat anything that grows in or around the ground, 'cause you don't know where it may have been. I might suggest as the final ending point to substitute most veggies in your diet for zucchini since we want to win the war against the devil. Zucchini and all it’s aggressiveness will help you fight more aggressively. (Beware; zucchini are planning to take over the world, and there’s no place to start that’s better than the kitchen :) )

I will be ending this romantic episode with the topic of veggies, as it's my turn to make the salad for dinner. (You ask what the ingredients are?- celery, potaters, zucchini and corn... so yummy.)

merry christmas from cocoa, (I better go save the hat from the wrath of cocoa before she gets around to eating it) :D

to make picture links you first put the link coding

(a href="any link") text(/a)

(remember to all replace these marks () with these <>) then where the text would be add this

(img src="image link")

also remember that the picture (or drawing) must already be uploaded to the internet.
in order to find the link to an uploaded image (anywhere) you must right click on the image then go down to properties, click properties. a new window should open if it doesn't you probaly have a popup blocker on, go down to IMAGE PROPERTIES on this new window, copy (control+c) the link and paste(control+v) it in the place of the image link in my coding thing...

read this for link making help... first of all, always replace () with "<>" so yeah, just remember that . here is the basic code you will need , (a href="any link") text here(/a) don't remove the ("") marks
