The Friday Follies (There’s Too Much Weirdness For One Post)
By Tom Chandler on Jan 5, 2007 in Underground Entertainment
It’s a strange, strange Friday my friends, and while the Internet is not exactly the place you’d normally go to wallow in normalcy, it’s especially odd today.
Without further ado…
Proof that Global Warming Isn’t All Bad
Finally - the headline destined to prove kbarton’s theory that the Underground’s gone mainstream. This image from the Treehugger site (via Wicked Outdoorsy) casts plantary heating in a whole new light:

Posts From the Edge hooks us up with a picture (and a product) that will make pretty much any guy hunch over. I may have already run a picture of this, but found myself pained enough to do it again.

Proving once again that catch & release fly fishers *may* not be the most pointless outdoorsmen on the planet, the canoe network ran this story about people who scour California’s Coastal Redwood ranges looking for the planet’s tallest trees.
On second thought, that’s far less pointless than fly fishing.

The GetOutdoors blog discovers farm-raised fish aren’t quite on a par with wild fish. It’s not that the information is so shocking. It’s how they bring it to life:
Wild Fish 1: Dood, you guys all look the same, I can’t f**king tell you apart.
Farmed Fish 1: Yeh, we all basically come from the same stock, so we’re all the same genetic makeup, plus, we are all the same size too since we’re raised together.
Wild Fish 2: Yeh, we were looking at you guys and it seemed like a bad episode of Sweet Valley High.
Farmed Fish 2: I know what you mean, dood, I have 500,000 brothers.
Brilliant.

That’s it for now. The weather yesterday was as arctic as I’ve seen up here; I took Wally the Wonderdog for a walk in stinging winds, and in fact got blown off a raised boardwalk.
Fishing this weekend? Perhaps. Lots to do, and the work-impelled walls are definitely closing in.
See you someplace weird, Tom Chandler.

Thanks for the traffic Tom!
It sure has been a weird week. I think it’s the moon.

I’m afraid we got an eyeful of that…uh…product during this summer’s road trip to Yellowstone, somewhere in the middle of South Dakota. Even more puzzling was the driver: a little, hunched-over, shy-looking old man well past his 70th birthday…with his equally grandparentish (apparent) wife in the passenger seat. Wierd. Maybe a prank? Who knows. Come to think of it, I think they were in a red CR-V. Take care,

I always get a kick out of those freeway-based “The Mystery That Will Never Be Solved” moments.
You see a car with something odd happening, and you know you’ll never see an answer - the riddle just drives right out of your life.
Like the North-on-I5 bound Corvette with the “I Brake for Boobs” bumper sticker that was driven by what appeared to be a wrinkled, tiny old guy who appeared to be an Orthodox Jew.
Dirty old man? Borrowed car? We’ll never know…
