So You Can Ride A Bike, Eh?
Next time you're feeling smug about your shredding bicycling skilz, watch this video.
These women are beasts of the bicycle world!
Kevin said: "What is up with the crowd? These girls are incredible and they hardly clap! What does it take to get a cheer in Germany?! How do you practice these moves? One mistake and it's a bar in the wrong place or a face plant!" (This may not be an actual quote, but it's close enough.)

I had always wanted an excuse to lay in bed for two days...and read...and blog...and make lists.
Instead, I slept. For nearly 18 hours straight. And then I watched "Scooby Doo and the Ghost Pirate" movie on Netflix Instant Viewing. Nothing shows the depths to which you have fallen like watching a Scooby Doo movie on Netflix when "Meet the Robinsons" was available.
Obviously I was very sick.

I Might Be Back
I'm sitting at Panera's while Megh's at church...Broccoli cheese soup, a baguette, and a diet coke would probably inspire a great and life-changing writing experience, except that I left my glasses at home...
So I'm typing in a way that one would think of when using the idiomatic and well-worn phrase "blind as a bat" if bats were, in fact, blind instead of having a high tech thing called "sonar" making them more able to see things in the dark than I can with both sets of glasses at noon.
Regardless...I've got a LOT to share with you so I'm going to try to write to you while I work on my backlogged emails.
Here's hopping I hit the right keys at: marcyjoybryan@gmail.com
UPS Maintenance Reports
The following is not my writing but I thought you'd enjoy it nevertheless:
After every flight, UPS pilots fill out a form, called a 'gripe sheet,' which tells mechanics about problems with the aircraft. The mechanics correct the problems, document their repairs on the form, and then pilots review the gripe sheets before the next flight.
Never let it be said that ground crews lack a sense of humor. Here are some actual maintenance complaints submitted by UPS pilots (marked with a P) and the solutions recorded (marked with an S) by maintenance engineers.
By the way, UPS is the only major airline that has never, ever, had an accident. I don't know that this is true...if so, I'm flying with them on my next trip...they go everywhere!
P: Left inside main tire almost needs replacement.
S: Almost replaced left inside main tire.
*
P: Test flight OK, except auto-land very rough.
S: Auto-land not installed on this aircraft.
*
P: Something loose in cockpit
S: Something tightened in cockpit
*
P: Dead bugs on windshield.
S: Live bugs on back-order.
*
P: Auto pilot in altitude-hold mode produces a 200 feet per minute descent
S: Cannot reproduce problem on ground.
*
P: Evidence of leak on right main landing gear.
S: Evidence removed.
*
P: DME volume unbelievably loud.
S: DME volume set to more believable level.
*
P: Friction locks cause throttle levers to stick.
S: That's what friction locks are for.
*
P: IFF in operative in OFF mode.
S: IFF always inoperative in OFF mode.
*
P: Suspected crack in windshield.
S: Suspect you're right.
*
P: Number 3 engine missing.
S: Engine found on right wing after brief search
*
P: Aircraft handles funny.
S: Aircraft warned to straighten up, fly right and be serious.
*
P: Target radar hums.
S: Reprogrammed target radar with lyrics.
*
P: Mouse in cockpit.
S: Cat installed.
*
P: Noise coming from under instrument panel. Sounds like a midget pounding on something with a hammer.
S: Took hammer away from midget

THE ORIGINAL Scary 'Mary Poppins' Recut Trailer
I got to hang out in the Tech Room during the performance last night. The Tech Room is a Very Interesting Place, meaning that people of the "tech" persuasion chat about all sorts of potentially interesting things, many of which involve words like "blah," "blah" camera "blah," and "blah, blah, No Way!" I'm sure other words are used in the course of these conversations, but I'm having to translate from geek to human and it can be a bit challenging. Thank you for your patience.
Anyway, the REAL reason I love sitting in the tech room (besides learning the language) is that you also hear about very interesting websites.
Hence this post.
I hope you find it as hysterically creepy as I did.

I'm Not Bored, But I'm Here
So, I arrive around 5pm and hang out in the intriguing geekdom of mic-land. Once all the girlies are wired, I run ("running" here is an utter misnomer) upstairs to clean up the tech break room and get it ready for dinner. (They wisely feed the cameramen and spotlight operators after the show because they don't want sleepy technical people using very expensive equipment.)
At the 3/4 point I run back downstairs to help take the mics off the girls. When done, back upstairs I go to eat and help clean the break room.
But right in the middle...Right here where I am now...nothing's happening. The water jugs are filled, the food isn't here yet. The actors are singing and if there is a mic problem, it's beyond my ability to fix it...so I'm joyfullyexempt.
It'll be during these times each that you will be getting a lot of pointless things from me because...well, number on,e I have a moment dedicated to this activity...but more importantly...have you ever had the opportunity to hang out with geeks? They are a veritable fountain, a cornucopia as it were, of trivial information, ridiculous websites, and strange videos. And I'm sitting, at this moment, at their epicenter.
God is Good!

WHAT IS THIS WORLD COMING TO?
Renegade knitters wreaking havoc on the frigid Canadian streets.
I tried to get pictures, but they wouldn't work. Fiber coated for protection, no doubt.
You'll have to read about their rampage here. (With horrifyingly knitty pics.)

I don't why this fascinates me while also making me laugh. Would you call that ironic, or am I simply pitifully shallow?
Actually I'm hoping that someone will play it backwards and find a secret hypnotic message so my strange attraction to this scary clip won't be considered my fault.
Why am I sending it to you? Because it told me to. Not in so many words...but I just felt...compelled.

There's even a Facebook group and an article.

Another Chapter in the "What Was God Thinking" book
OMG(oodness)
His name is Ugly Bat Boy, of course.
But, according to the article, he's really a sweetheart. The article then goes on to say, "The impression from clients that come in is he's not real because he just sits so still, and when he does move, he scares them, but they think he's mesmerizing...He has the run of the place and all the attention he can handle."
Let's recap: Sits perfectly still, scares people and/or mesmerizes them. Smells of sulfer. Of course he has the run of the place...why would anyone try to get in the way of a cat that has obviously been sent from Hades?

Red vs. Blue Financial Crisis PSA: Rock Bottom
This is one of Megh's favorite "cartoons." It's built from characters from Halo...I think.
This will be a proverbial knee-slapper to those immersed in the Halo subculture of delinquints. (I am only guilty by association...you, as an astute reader will realize I don't know where the characters are from or any other useful info. For that, you had better call Meghan.
For the rest of you: consider me your Cultural Educator. (You're welcome.)

It's Saturday...
Since I am here and it's Saturday and I'm trying to avoid ruining my reputation by being productive, let me share some time wasting links with you.
Here's one that Kevin has watched at least 4 times. Why? Possibly for the freakish athletics, or perhaps it's the inspiring music...but for me, I so tensed up watching these madmen that I feel like I've done a whole work out in a few short minutes. Virtual Exercising, my favorite! Especially on a Saturday!
Everything is Possible - The best bloopers are here
Here's one Kevin hasn't even seen: It's a dude who does regular sports with his nunchucks. And it's from Japan! So you know it'll be Absolutely! Japana-crazy!

The Japanese Should Surrender...Again
Frankly, this is disturbing on many levels. But let's just stick with the obvious: this little creature is categorically ugly.
If you don't recognize him, it's the only known member of the appropriately named genus Heterocephalus. You may have heard his more common names: the sand puppy or the naked mole rat as made famous by Disney's cartoon "Kim Possible."
Here is Rufus the Naked Mole Rat showing off his mad skills:
And Rufus was as lethal as he looks. Many an afternoon were happily spent, Meghan curled up beside me, a Diet Coke in hand, watching naked, so-ugly-he's-cute Rufus help Kim conquer the mad geniuses that threatened Middleton in the Emmy award-winning show (It was nominated 10 times and won once).
But this...the real live rodent with the Freudian name...this just shows that God's sense of humor is possibly more disturbing than we...than I...originally thought.
Actually, using my own opinion in a way that someone (meaning "Meghan") might consider it as "expert opinion," the heterocephalus glaber proves that there must be a creator...because, really...how could you evolve into such a little beastie and count it as a step up?
And, leave to Japan to fall in love with the creepy little guy. You can read more about his meteoric rise here. May I remind you that this is the same group of people who invented sushi. But that's not all...Take a look at more results of too much saki and bait.
Look here.
And for even more stuff that you can actually buy, look here.
I shudder to think of what the new line of "naked mole rat" robots and video games will look like at: marcyjoybryan@gmail.com

President's Day 2009 - Washington to Obama: Morphed!
I wanted to post the Animaniac's "President Song" but I just did that (*smack'm da'forehead*).

My Kind Of Culture
Note the Old Lady in the middle of the picture. She is sticking her tongue out at the little girl. According to the article, sticking your tongue out at people is a traditional Tibetan greeting. The article didn't say what you might do if you actually liked the person...but as far as traditional greetings go, this has to be one of my favorites.
