Time to Laugh

If you feel like laughing today, and I can't imagine why you wouldn't, do yourself a favor (I don't spell with British u's anymore. Sad, isn't it?) and do a YouTube search (or click here) for the late comedian, Mitch Hedberg. The man was hilarious. He also had bad stage fright and drug issues, which explains why he was usually shaking and wearing dark glasses, and why he died of an overdose.

He was still very, very funny though.

"I bought a seven-dollar pen because I always lose pens and I got sick of not caring."

"Rice is great if you're really hungry and want to eat two thousand of something. "

"I would imagine that if you could understand Morse code, a tap dancer would drive you crazy. "

Sekai

I give you Sekai, the amazing jumping dog. Meg rescued her from the pound 3 1/2 years ago. Yes, the camera work is incredible. The camera is new to me, okay?

** UPDATE**

The video link should work now. go ahead... try it.

Name Game

As a fourth year vet student Meg is currently doing a rotation at the UGA large animal vet hospital. She got two new patients in yesterday- a Tennessee walking horse and her mule offspring. The horse's name is Annabella. The father's of the mule is named Cloudy. The white and grey coloured mule's name? Partly Cloudy.

When Seagulls Attack

The Canoe Photo of the Day. Hilarious at first glance, then you read the caption, look again and it all goes normal. But oh the hilarity after that first glance...

Saturday Night Highlights

Quote of the night from Saturday night:

"It's hard to be hot all of the time you know. I'm only second string hotness" somebody on being a server at a Byward Market restaurant known for hiring only the most attractive people they can find.

Scene of the night from Saturday:

Two skankily dressed women who were probably in their early-to-mid 30's (cougars) dancing for their two men who stayed seated at their table. Every once in a while the women would grope each other or switch men to be skanky with. We were close to the airport so the going theory was that they were strippers or hookers and the men were pilots or businessmen stopping by for a good time.
