most disturbing thing you will read all day

2007-04-04T00:54:42Z

so my roommate is somewhat kind of dating this girl, who i just met today. for dinner we decided it would be a good idea to get some chinese buffet. then when we were eating somehow, i'm not really sure how, the subject came up vegetarinism and that whatnot. to which she said that she used to eat her pet animals back on the farm. intrigued, i pursued this line of questioning further. apparently, her family used to have 2 rabbits named stew and gravey. it hardly needs explaining, but these were their pets. they were pets that they had purchased with the intention of eating. i'll pause for a moment to let that sink in.

these were pets that they had purchased with the intention of eating. not only that, they had named the bunnies stew and gravey. they intended to turn them into stew and gravey!

poor stew and gravey...

you will be missed. it is a sad twist of fate that you died from a sting ray and not a crocodile. you risked your life numerous times rescuing crocodiles that would have been killed had it not been for your efforts. you truly beleived in what you did and honestly cared for animals. you carried that enthusiasm through into your tv show and did much good for animal preservation. for this i salute you, croc hunter.

central europe easter traditions

2006-04-16T22:25:12Z

from wikipedia -

"In the Czech Republic, Hungary and Slovakia, a tradition of whipping is carried out on Easter Monday. In the morning, males whip females with a special handmade whip called pomlázka (in Czech) or korbáč (in Slovak). The pomlázka/korbáč consists of eight, twelve or even twenty-four withies (willow rods) and is usually from half a metre to two metres long and decorated with coloured ribbons at the end. It must be mentioned that while whipping can be painful, the purpose is not to cause suffering. Rather, the purpose is for males to exhibit their attraction to females; unvisited females can even feel offended. The whipped female gives a coloured egg to the male as a sign of her thanks and forgiveness. A legend says that females should be whipped in order to keep their health and fertility during whole next year. In some regions the females can get revenge in the afternoon when they can pour a bucket of cold water on any male. The habit slightly varies across the Czech Republic. A similar tradition existed in Poland (where it is called Dyngus Day), but it is now little more than an all-day waterfight.
In Hungary (where it is called Ducking Monday), perfume or perfumed water is often sprinkled in exchange for an Easter egg."

i kind of wish we did that. sounds like fun

update

2006-03-23T00:01:08Z

i still have this crazy pin thing sticking out my finger and it freaks people out on a regular basis when i show it to them. its doing much better and hopefully the doc will take it out in a week. then i can start moving the finger and have physical therapy on it, which sounds silly for a finger i know, but i need to be able to type with it so i can do my job, and so i can play guitar and whatnot. but then hopefully in a month or so i will be able to play sports again and stuff. but i will probably have to tape it to my other finger whenever i do sports because if you break something a second time you truly are fucked.

another surgery

2006-02-25T23:44:08Z

i have to have another surgery on monday. apparently, the joint surface has started to heal back together and that looks good, but now there is a gap in the middle of the bone. so the doctor has to either realign that so it grows together. so either ill still have the same pins or the doctor will put in a different pin that goes straight through my finger to hold it in place. yikes.

visual representation of my finger

2006-02-23T13:39:14Z

in lieu of showing an actual picture of my finger i have provided a mock up after the cut. the actual picture is too gory to show and would probably be violating the livejournal code of ethics (if one exists). anyway, this is an accurate representation of the appearance of my finger, just picture it way gorier and disturbing looking.

x-rays

2006-01-31T22:12:25Z
