Just thought I'd throw an idea out there
I could set up a public blog everyone can sign into, and post whatever, tell me your thoughts on this, we could use it as a message board for all the crazy sexy cool stuff we find on the web, or to rant, and I can put a link on this site, please leave yay or nay comments.

Only 31 Days Away
I thought I would give you guys advice on the best way to make a nice looking, yet inexpensive and light weight weapon for your ninja, barbarian, or pirate costumes alike:
Gilding a cardboard sword:
· Coat one side of the sword with a thin even layer of rubber cement.
· Pull a piece of aluminum foil large enough to cover one side of the sword with a little extra for trim all the way around.
· Lay the foil out, shiniest side down, on a clean smooth surface.
· using a wad of toilet tissue, carefully rub the foil with just enough pressure to smooth out the wrinkles.
· Carefully apply a thin, even coat of rubber cement to the foil.
· Allow the rubber cement on both surfaces to dry until firm and tacky.
· Very carefully lay the glued surface of the foil over the glued edge of the sword.
· Again use very gentle pressure with a wad of toilet tissue to smooth any wrinkles and push air bubbles to the edge.
· Allow the rubber cement to dry thoroughly before trimming the excess foil.
· Repeat above steps on the other side of the sword.
Building a better sword:
Instead of using a single piece of thick corrugated cardboard as most people do, use two pieces of thick cardstock and a thin dowel. (No more than 1/4'' diameter'')
· Using the same pattern cut out two identical swords, hilts and all, from the cardstock.
· Apply thin, even coating of glue (NOT rubber cement) to one surface of each sword.
· Lay the dowel down on the glued surface of one sword along the centerline.
· Lay the other sword on top of the first half and the dowel making sure the two glued surfaces are touching.
· Use paperclips or clothespins all the way around the edges of the sword to hold both halves together.
· Allow sword to sit overnight before removing fasteners and applying gilt.
This type of sword is more durable and even has a realistic ''beveled'' look.

The Great Ape Escape
You cannot blame
'Little Joe' from having a night on the town, he has, after all, been kept cooped up his whole life. I think it is funny that he is now being kept in a secure caging area. You would think that they would have put him in there after his
first escape from the Tropical Rainforest exhibit in August.

This is a grape injustice!
Monkeys will not take the raw deal for granite. Damn the man in the white coats, don't give them an inch. Equal pay for equal work.

Have you ever noticed...
...that some people spend lots of money on Halloween costumes, when the
best costumes always involve simple nudity, Christmas lights and a stuffed Alf?

Correction and Update
Some of us need help with cooking, but not Stasi! All of the events she competed in at the 2003 California State Fair were surprise bag cook offs at the Del Monte California Kitchen. She went home with three blue ribbons and two red. Best of all, was the audience’s response to her food. Everyone loved the samples of Stasi's foods, asking he for recipes of it. There wasn't a single time where a dish was brought to a judge where they didn't clean the plate.

Annual Camping Trip Around The Corner
Even though my younger sister is going to be in town, I am prolly not going to invite her. The main reason for her absence is her affection for stating resemblance of other people to jungle animals within earshot. Play nice, or don't play at all, people. It will be at Spicer Reservoir, not far from last year’s spot. Bring cameras, there were very little photos taken at last year’s event, and I believe that people sitting in lawn chairs dressed in flannel are fun, fun, fun.

A Little Viewer Mail
This comes from Doug W:
"So if your such a "Monkeys will Win" dude, then why is your Blog site featuring a nice big Non-Stop Robot Cranking out Discs with plans to decimate monkeys encoded there upon!!!"
Blog Critic #4321
Dear Misguided Soul,
You assume because I display a robot on my site, I support their world-destroying plight. This is not the case my friend. I put on display for you an Ape-Robot. Caught in the middle of the age-old battle from "birth" he has been wrought with inner strife due to his duality. He is a self-loathing half-breed, never excepted by either side. People get so wrapped up in choosing sides in a war, they forget the true victims, and viewing this monstrosity will help us better understand ourselves. Or I picked the picture because the colors matched my website.
MailMe!
