NASA is going to smack the shit out of the south pole of the Moon to see if ice is there!
…And McGoo cried out that fateful day, “This is the pudding shot!”, and then blew his blood sugar all to shit!
The whole story is here - at Discover Magazine – which hasn’t pissed me off quite yet, but probably will in the near-future.
Bert has always liked what he referred to as The Boob.
(Note: thank Gak I finally found a use for that cute li’l picture. I’ve had it for 1-2 months.)
Speaking of Gak:
That is a guy.
(I’ve become more alert in recent weeks.)
I ask: what possible reasoning – what thought train – what amazing and unbelievable sequence of events – resulted in the attire and situation depicted.
BTW: Enas Yorl sent me that strange photo above a week or two ago. I bet he was trying to stun me into oblivion – just for fun, the devil!
Bert had no idea what lurked behind him – ready to pounce.
Few people were aware that the dancers were actually spelling out – in Cyrillic - the message, “Eat shit, fucktards!”

There’s a NASA site that has more info. And I’ll put up a map! No I won’t. Go to the Discover link!
October 6, 2009 at 2:10 pm
If you will not put up a map, you cannot have any pudding.
How can you have pudding if you won’t put up a map?

Who goes out and says, “I know…a candy dispenser as a codpiece. Ooh, and it could be fed by two other dispenser tops that can mimic the tits I’ve always dreamed of possessing.”

I think that was part of the PRIDE parade somewhere. Maybe the Folsom St Fair? Whatever it was, it should be filed with the Original Space Twat.
And are those the streetdancers of Fame??

Why’s the NOPD have suspiciously Islamic iconography stickin’ right there in the middle of their acronym?
Aside: I got an iconography jammed in my acronym once, it took a pound of bacon and half a can of WD-40 to break the damn thing loose. I stuttered for a week.
October 6, 2009 at 4:24 pm
Apo – shouldn’t your link go to KisP now? It’s not like anyone reads your blog!!
October 6, 2009 at 4:34 pm
Apo – It’s not meant to be Islamic. It’s just a regular ole’ police star, with a cresent wrapped around it for “the Cresent City”. The original city of New Orleans (which is now the French Quarter) was built in a cresent of the river.
I grew up there, up through high school.
And McGoo – Our regular instructor wasn’t there today, he had one of his residents deliver the lecture, and that guy didn’t have any leads for me on a no-stick glucose monitor. I’ll try again.
October 6, 2009 at 4:42 pm
Apo – how come I never noticed your blog? How long has this been going on?
Blogrolled.
Who else did I miss?
BTW: apotheosis – I had an enjambment of my alliteration once when I was nine. It hurt to sit down for a week! I had to kinda sit on a slant – on one bun.
MCPO – I can’t have pudding right now anyway. But Discover has a spiffy one there.
CB – exactly. makes me wonder how Lady Ga Ga came about too.
And LC – I don’t know who those dancers are. They just looked liberal and silly, so I stole the photo. The captiobn …um….just kinda came to me. They do that….
October 6, 2009 at 4:51 pm
Harqbll – a non-stick BG meter would have to be optical – maybe a beefy laser to do the refrective or transmissive chromatography on the blood chemistry in a finger.
They do reflective chromo with the old ones like mine, don’t they? (Acu-Check Active).
I still use it – even though the blood drop size requirement is greater – because the test strips are $30 per fifty instead of $50+ per fifty strips.
When you’re using 8-10 strips a day it matters! I used to only check it once a day in the morning.
I wish I knew more about how they work: especially the calibration, accuracy, and error terms in the detection process.
(Oh – and if you’re wondering why a person who has only been diabetic for about 1.5 years (April -2008) has a tester that’s gotta be 10 years old; Answer – it was Dads. And I have compared its accuracy to a brand new one – no difference.)
October 6, 2009 at 5:17 pm
OK, MC – I put up the map, but only after discerning that it was so poorly labeled as to be incomprehensible to anyone not drunk or on opiates.
October 6, 2009 at 5:43 pm
Is it geeky of me to admit understanding the map??
October 6, 2009 at 5:43 pm
And no, I ain’t drunk.
Yet….
October 6, 2009 at 6:17 pm
WHy would the scale be different at a time other than the impact?
October 6, 2009 at 6:54 pm
If I remember right, glucose measurements are done by some enzymatic color change, which I suppose is then read by reflective colorimetry. The only reason it stands out at all is that I seem to recall something in a lecture about how they had to change over from the old method of a sugar re-dox reaction to avoid falsely elevated readings in renal patients.
Not sure though. I could be thinking of something else entirely. All this stuff starts to blend together after a while.
Anyway, back to work. ‘Nother exam next week to prepare for.
October 6, 2009 at 6:56 pm
McGoo, I expanded on my Rosa Klebb rant in my comments with a post come see.
October 6, 2009 at 7:32 pm
LC – any map that isn’t marked with a big X saying “you are here” or “treasure” makes me suspicious.
Yeah – harqbll – colorimetry. That’s what I meant. And it’s my understanding that some non-sugar sweeteners still false-trip the meters.
…And I ate two – TWO! – BLT’s today (Bread! Bread! Yum!) and my BS went up ……. 15 points. By cracky, I think I’m getting it under control.
I was watching the Dirty Jobs where Mike Rowe is at a Hops ranch – and I suddenly had an overwhelming desire for a Guinness Stout. I actually went into town just now looking for some. Nada. No Fosters either. Shit!
Then the mood left me. Rats!
Tomorrow I’m going to go get some Guinness Stout if I have to drive all the way to St. Louis. It’s the principle of the thing….
October 6, 2009 at 7:41 pm
If you’re ever in Texas, I keep it stocked in my fridge, McGoo
October 6, 2009 at 7:49 pm
Actually the new tests strips & meters use an enzyme to break down the glucose into some other chemical that sets up a little electrical current in the strip and it’s the strength of the current that indicates the amount of glucose present in the blood sample. Pretty neat!
Glad you’re doing better McGoo!
Man, now I want a BLT too!
October 6, 2009 at 8:47 pm
HAHAHA! Thanks for the map. . .”homemade” chocolate pudding coming right up!
October 6, 2009 at 8:59 pm
Apo – shouldn’t your link go to KisP now? It’s not like anyone reads your blog!!
Oh wiseguy, huh? Well I’m just a guest at KisP.
It’s like, even though I spend more time at the latter, I still list my “home address” as my own home, not YOUR MOM’S HOUSE.
…yeah you’re right, I should probably change it.
October 6, 2009 at 9:11 pm
What’s KisP?
Enas – that’s cool. I was wondering what those electrode-like connections on the new strips were for. (I have an Acu-Check Advantage also – but won’t buy strips for it at $50!). I figured maybe each strip had the photometry LEDs embedded inside or sumpin.
LC – you tempt me to visit tx again. I haven’t been back to Dallas or Austin in a year. I have a buddy coming from Austin this month – sometime.
I tell you – BLTs are probably my favorite sandwich. But every ingredient has to be fresh!
October 6, 2009 at 9:24 pm
KisP = SondraK’s joint. She invited me to do some guest blogging there to help out while she’s off living the glamorous life and traveling to exotic destinations full of strange natives.
October 6, 2009 at 10:15 pm
SondraK’s?? I haven’t been there since I stole the Reddy Kilowatt Button for my Plume De Hanson Award–which she said was okay because she stole it from somewhere else.
Fresh bacon????? Isn’t that pork?
Better not be turkey. Turkey Bacon????? Aren’t we legally allowed to shoot the FDA weasel who allowed that–it’s like soy milk–it’s not milk, it’s sqeezings.
October 7, 2009 at 4:20 am
I thought KisP was familiar, but the bwain failed…
Before it was fresh bacon it was old smoked pork belly, CB.
October 7, 2009 at 8:27 am
AH, pork belly.
BTW, did you get the birthday email I sent???
October 7, 2009 at 8:47 am
I love bacon!
And you do realize that the impact device for the moon is to destroy the base up there before anyone else finds it. That water story is but smoke and mirrors!
Ah, smoke. Smoked bacon! Hard to light, but once you get it going…
October 7, 2009 at 9:06 am
I thought it was to hide the Monolith, cm?
October 7, 2009 at 9:55 am
CB – yep. Got it, and replied. Thx!
CM – you know about the base? Now you’ll have to be killed….
Oh, no! You, too, LC!
And, CM, of course you like bacon. That’s like saying, “I like air!”
I’ve always suspected that the Joooo’s and Towelies famous dislike for bacon for “religious” reasons has just been a ruse!
They’re just trying to get all of it for themselves!
That’s how this whole Joooo/Ayrab conflict came about centuries ago – both wanted to corner the market and got into fierce competition. One thing just led to another….
Bet you never thought of that before! Uh-huh! See? It makes perfect sense. Another seemingly insoluble problem that crumbles in the face of McGoo ingenuity.
October 7, 2009 at 1:39 pm
Kill me??
You’ll have to catch me first
October 7, 2009 at 2:32 pm
Well, LC, maybe if you promise not to tell too many people….
How’d you like my deft and astonishingly penetrating explanation of the Middle-East conflict origins? It was bacon, all along!
Pretty impressive – eh?
October 7, 2009 at 2:47 pm
Dead on, I would say!!
October 8, 2009 at 8:16 pm
Use this product on your firearms.

Does it come in bacon scent?
Baked-potato & chives & chedder cheese & sour cream & bacon scent would sell like hotcakes!
