Madagascar pictures

I know it doesn't have anything to do with M&M's, but I thought I'd finally post a couple of my Madagascar pictures.
Me in the first village I visited. They had been having a lot of plague so we went with the local doctor to give a sort of public service announcement. Basically, he told them they were dirty. It was awkward.


An interesting insect called a giraffe-necked weevil. Kind of like a lady bug with a freaky neck.

One of the multiple types of chameleons we saw on our hikes through the rainforest. Sadly, I forgot the name...

The guy on my shoulder is a brown lemur. This place was kind of a lemur petting zoo for animals that they rescued. It was awesome, but he kept looking for food in my ear. Plus, he was pretty stinky.

It was hard to just choose a couple, so hopefully you guys like them. Let me know what you think and maybe I'll try to post a couple more sometime.

the best i can do...

Battle Armor, Anyone?

I think this is pretty nifty. Yeah, it's probably impractical, expensive, and cumbersome, but it looks pretty damn cool. Here we are, living in the not too distant future, and it's about time our soldiers start wearing ridiculous full body armor. Also they should ride hover boards and eat meals in pill form. I guess he designed a version of this so people studying bears could survive being mauled, should that become an issue during the course of their studies. If any of you have seen Project Grizzly, this is the same guy. Let me know what you think.
Also, I'll try to get a couple of pictures from my Madagascar trip on the blog soon. I need to install Picasa again, and then I'll be good to go.

Any Law and Order Fans?

I thought this was the best sketch of Saturday Night Live last Saturday. This sketch hilarious if you have ever watched Law and Order or its spin-offs with any regularity.

Of course, when I watch L&O now I am completely distracted by the truth that this sketch highlights. Just like when I saw the South Park episodes that mock Family Guy, my image of the show is forever tarnished and distracted.

But still pretty funny (if you watch L&O)

Phone = Gone.... but back!

I dropped my phone in the snow on NY Day, and have been without it until THIS MORNING WHEN I COULD DIG MY CAR OUT OF THE SNOW. I had to get a new phone, and I have all my old numbers.... but no record of missed calls, voicemails, etc.

JOSH AND JESSE: When do you leave? I have dinner with my boss tonight, but any other day is good. Sorry if I missed you (if you called!).

New York Subway Hero

I was watching Letterman tonight and his guest was Wesley Autrey, a man who performed a daring New York City Subway rescue. I thought it was a cool story. I think it is always nice to see a feel-good story about a blue-collared everyman (or every-individual, if you prefer) doing a good thing just becuase it is the right thing. He seemed very down to earth and unassuming on Letterman. While I'm sure he's enjoying the attention, I don't think he was expecting it. (He got NYC's highest honor, the Bronze Medal, and a trip to Disney World and $10,000 from Donald Trump). Needless to say, I think his message is important (even though it is cliche)... "You should do the right thing."

Just to clarify- a man had a seizure and fell onto the subway tracks. Mr. Autrey jumped down at the last second and pushed the man into the gutter between the two rails. Laying on top of him, he only had a few inches of clearance between the train and himself. Five cars drove over him before they could stop the train, and he was stuck there with the guy for a while.

Happy Brithboy...

To Scott!

That is all.
