Snow On Mars – And Democrat Snow-Jobs – And Various Stuff-Like Items

Yahoo News – Science has an article up about the recent observed snow on Mars. It was apparently detected by the Phoenix Mars Lander – which also recently proved that there is a shitload of ice under the thin dirt layer up on the Northern latitudes.

But, who cares? Congress is contemplating blowing $700 Billion bucks on this mortgage bailout – which, if you believe Yahoo here, is about 40 times the yearly NASA budget for all current and in-production/prep missions presently going on.

This sucks big-time. I’d much rather blow $700 billion on neat gadgets flying out into the deep black yonder and collecting all sorts of information I can spend seconds marveling at.

So stop it, Congress. Listen to me. How much more screwed up can you make it by listening to – well – me?

Meanwhile, break.com posted this silly photo:

He wishes…

And how ’bout sticky notes? A thousand uses – and now a thousand and one!

I put up this skull and crossbones because I’m reading a book on the lives of pirates in the 17th and 18th centuries.

This next photo is the tower that keeps me connected to the world.

Finally, here is some porn.

Mars Rover News!

When’s the last time you heard about these puppies? About two forevers ago? yep – me too.

Well, it seems that those devil-may-care wiseguys at NASA have decided to send Mars rover Spirit Opportunity on a 7-mile trip from Victoria crater where it landed many moons ago – to a big crater – the one pictured above. Endeavor is the place, boys and girls. The whole article is here - over at Science daily, where I haven’t been in ages or so it seems.

There is no porn. This is Science!

No, wait! Yes there is.

My Little friend

Check this out:

I found this little guy on the driveway in front of the house a few weeks ago and yes I shit wolverines. he was only about a foot long – dinky, really – but stood out like , well, a brightly colored snake on green grass.

I had to wait to get onto the Net again to make an identification, but I found out what it is.

Post your guess and win respect! The photo is click-able and blows up fairly well.

Meanwhile, here is some porn.

Nebula Boys!

Before I post anything, I want to congratulate DoctorDoom for being the only person who knew where the term Nebula Boy came from. Be envious, world! And if anyone wonders why I watched Oblivion and Oblivion II, I can only utter one word: Musetta Vander.

Thank God I read Pravda – which means “Honest as the day is long!” in some obscure language. Check out these new spiffy uniforms the Iranian Army boys are wearing.

The baseball caps are especially evocative. And then there’s these swell fellows:

It’s a pity you can’t see the cunning heels they’re wearing. They just make the outfit.

There is more of this crap at Pravda – here.

Meanwhile, I’m going through my “Photos for WordPress” file to see what I have forgotten about in the last 2 1/2 months of utterly terrifying offlineness.

Did I post this? I stole it from (Ice)Princess – a site that is updated entirely too seldom, not that I fault the lady. She’s busy with a new kid.

There is a subtle message somewhere here…

And then there are these – from Engrishdotcom of course:

And:

So here is some porn.

How I spent My Summer Vacation

The photo below is the far southern border of McGoo Acres, seen from the back of the house. That’s the rich guys equipment building in the background.

Now watch:

And then:

Then…suddenly:

And as an added touch, we added some more.

All the above earth-moving, filling, packing, trenching, footing-pouring, and slab laying took about 2 weeks – mostly because it rained far more than was necessary (in my opinion).

Now the fun begins!

And…

And…

And furthermore…

The wall framing is nearly done:

Gotta finish out the rough door openings below. Uh – no. Not for a few days.

Ah! Now we’re getting there.

And, finally:

Now for something I’ve never done before:

Thank god for trusses.

And thank god for hired sheeters and roofers. I don’t get along wellwith heights.

And:

And … ta-da!

Next, we begin installing electric and doors:

And:

And lastly:

In case you’re interested, I still have to do gable vents, vent fans, complete the wiring, install the power lead-in from the pole, install the 18-foot door, install the people-door and remaining two windows, do siding, fascia, and soffits, install two garage door openers, and finish out the driveway.

So staying off the Internet for 2 1/2 months wasn’t all bad… I got a shitload of work done.

But then…there is porn to be had on the ‘Net.

The Most Interesting Things Start As Hole In The Ground!

This is the north view of McGoo Acres!

This is the hole:

This is what I planted in the hole:

And this is what happened to the hole today:

I have no idea who that man is up there, but it doesn’t matter because he went away later.

Soooo……only 2 1/2 months after relocating to southern Missouri and being told, “Internet!? No way! No way in hell, man! Bwaaaa haaaa haaa!!“, I am – by Circe – On The Net again!

It only took a 100-foot tower and several thousand dollars of (donated) equipment – but where there is a will there is a way! So there! Pbbbbbt! (sound of raspberry!)

Stay tuned for the complete chronicles or The Relocated McGoo! There are photos, fascinating stories, and some porn. And just wait until I relate the sordid tale of The Lard Cop And His Pancakes. It’ll put you off your food…

Yes, boys and girls! McGoo is back!

Speaking of porn…
