Damm, I wish I lived in Fullerton California. I’d be making re
servations to attend the “Flying Spaghetti Monster Holiday Pageant” being put on by the Hunger Artists Theatre Company.
Running from December 1 – 17, the audience is “treated to an Old School holiday pageant with pirates, strippers and a beer volcano”.
If you’re in the area, further details are available here.
We’re going through a period of unseasonably warm weather with the high today hitting 14 degrees. Won’t last long.
Took a drive over to the Claireville Conservation Area but the sky was such a monotonous grey that all the color was washed out of the fields.
One picture I did get was of this tired fellow waiting for a customer at the Claireville Ranch. Standing hoof-deep in mud he was looking very forlorn but he did perk up a bit when I approached. I just wish I had a carrot or apple for him.
Very unusual airplane made out of wood, right? Wrong! Very unusual paint scheme. It’s an Aeroprakt 22 ‘Foxbat’.

OK, Black Friday has come and gone so the Christmas shopping season is well under way
. Time to start looking at those chestnuts that make seasonal music even worse than it normally would be.
For the young, the Flinstones were the hip cartoon on TV when I was growing up. They were reasonably funny and watched by just about everyone.
The premise was that Motown artists like the Supremes and The Jackson 5 (with little Mikey before he got wierd) would have their Christmas music sandwiched between “funny” little bits from the stone age families. Great idea Marv!! We can make money off the folks in the suburbs and the homeys in the projects. Crass and completely unnecessary.
I won’t even begin to get into the who was hotter – Betty or Wilma – debate but I can say, with certainty, that this was a bad idea. I don’t remember if I’ve ever actually heard this lump of coal but, if I have, I’m very glad that the ravages of time have washed the memory from my mind.
Is it still available? I don’t know. Should you buy it if it is? Yabba Dabba Don’t.
UPDATE: Believe it or not, the thing still is available at Amazon.com for as little as $0.25. I’m happy to say that the Canadian Amazon site doesn’t have any. What really gets me is that the release date is 1999 while the Flinstones went off the air in 1966 which must have been when the last ice age hit. Marv and the marketing boys waited 33 years to unleash this horror on us?
I’ve been trying to quit smoking for a week now and I’m doing pretty well. Down from 1 pack a day to 1 a week.
The downside is that I’m not sleeping well. At first, I thought it was the patch but that only accounted for the really vivid dreams. I quit wearing them on Thursday and the dreams stopped but I still have trouble sleeping for more than a few hours at a time.
If you’re going to get up at 4am every morning, you have to find something to fill your time. This morning, I took the camera and tripod out and tried a long exposure shot of a very foggy morning. This is the result of a 10 second exposure. Interesting.
I wanted to go out early this morning and catch the sunrise through the fog but it was so thick that even now, at 11:15am, we still can’t see the sun.
