"Miss Beatrice", he said, "I wonder if you would tell me about this?", pointing to the bowl.
"Oh, yes," she replied, "Isn't it wonderful? I was walking through the park a few months ago and I found this little package on the ground. The directions said to place it on the organ, keep it wet and that it would prevent the spread of disease. Do you know I haven't had the flu all winter?"

Bad Day and the Dwarf
I rear-ended a car this morning. I knew it was going to be a
REALLY bad day. The driver got out of the other car, and he
was a DWARF!
He looked up at me and said, "I am NOT happy!"
So I said, "Well, which one ARE you then?"
That's how the fight started.

This is a copy of an email message sent to me yesterday:
Greetings!
I stumbled upon your webpage and pics on a whim after looking for 'gorilla costumes' on flikr, and I was instantly impressed and quite enthralled with your character! I'm actually an avid gorilla fan, and I'm always looking out for different pics of gorilla themed costumes, though in all my travels I've never seen one stand out quite as much as yours, it's truly amazing. I look for such gorilla pics for ideas for drawing mostly; I'm a 'furry' artist and have been for quite sometime. I find gorillas are terribly under appreciated species in the fandom, and it's really lovely to see someone put so much time not only in an astounding suit, but put himself out there so much too, there's just not enough gorilla exposure out there. In fact, far as 'furry' costumes goes, yours is the first I've EVER seen, I've actually come across super jayhawk quite alot before, and how I ever missed seeing a photo of you pop up along with him is beyond me, as I'm just so thrilled to see something like that.
Another thing I adore is the 'superhero' theme; soemthing I've actually wanted to do for awhile is create my own super gorilla character. I'm actually struggling with the name, as I know of quite a few, yourself included, there's apeman & monkeyboy, gogo gorilla...well, they're too numerous to list really! So it's difficult when so many unique names are already taken to really come up with something with the same amount of 'zing'. Though, on the bright side drawing him would be alot easier then actually naming him.
I love the photos though, the gallery is marvelous, I was only saddened by the lack of drawings of your character, and I actually went as far to search DA, and FA as well…but didn’t find anything! I wouldn’t mind actually drawing him myself, if that’s something you wouldn’t mind…I’ve attached an example of my work so (hopefully) you’ll see I’m not entirely a no-talent hack fan boy whose life ambition is to bug characters he idolizes. *chuckles*
But I ramble, I wanted to e-mail you and get in touch…hope this e-mail is still valid. Your character is absolutely wonderful, as well as the fact you get out to see many conventions and events. What I wouldn’t give for the time and ambition to do the same…ah well.
All my best to you, hoping to hear back
Sincerely,
-Boz
One can imagine the 'rush' this message gave me! I wonder if this is how Super Jayhawk felt when I first contacted him about his fursuit?

The dragon was way cool!
It's hard for Dennis(Mr. Dinosaur) & Sher to outdo themselves in their creative ventures, but at Newark Days they certainly DID! This year's theme was "the arts", so they conjured up an amazing "Fantazmic Celebration of the Arts", which included as the finale Maleficent and her "Momma Dragon" from Sleeping Beauty. My first thought at the sight of the huge behemoth was "Holy Cow! Kingsford's mother has been found!!"
It's always fun being a roustabout for one of their shows. I always find a way to help out with making the show run. Miss Kitty FINALLY got to use her Minnie Mouse costume somewhere besides Further Confusion. I made the suggestion to Sher and she loved it, so Minnie Mouse joined in the shows on Sunday, accompanied by the black & white Steamboat Willie Mickey Mouse. I'm sore like all getout today from three days of hauling props and wrangling, but hey, that's showbiz!
(All this, and Maleficent was the Grand Marshall of the Newark Days parade too!)

Today I've been so lethargic, even more than average, which is pretty pitiful. Later today I got some energy to wash my truck and do a couple of minor things. Then at around 8:00 this evening I was watching youtube clips of Michael Jackson. It reminded me of a small clip I heard recently of a remix of "Scream" which attracted my ear. So, I looked for it though it was difficult with all the remixes floating around. But I found it and I swear that remix actually made me get up and do MJJ moves right in my cramped bedroom! It's been a LONG time since I had that kind of energy brought on by a song. Listen to it for yourself:

If I had the money, I'd bribe the DJ at the FC dance with whatever it took to play that remix!!!!!

I'm sure others have told of all the happenings on some other medium, so I won't have to repeat anything. The photos I took are up on the gallery:

Look under the "Miscellaneous Stuff" album for the birthday photo sub-album. And here's the most "Interesting" photo of the evening:

Being qualified again for unemployment, waiting almost a month delay because the EDD had to find out what schooling I began and Aug. 12th was the earliest they could call, then they call and square everything away, and now they're late delivering the check and I am about TOTALLY BROKE, and I look in the mailbox for a check and repeatedly nothing is there!!!!!!!!!!! Whoever saw the updated Planet of the Apes movie, the scene where the evil chimpanzee goes into hysterics when he gets trapped forever in that ancient spaceship, THAT is how I feel right now! I HATE RECESSIONS!!!!!!!!!
