Oban 2009

Once again the annual Oban festival is upon us at the West Los Angeles Buddhist Temple, Always a fun event with food, dancing, taiko drums, bonzai treel, and flower arrangements, not to mention lots of pretty girls in kimonos.

Although I have to admit that when you look Oban up on Wikipedia it says "Oban (An t-Òban in Scottish Gaelic meaning The Little Bay) is a resort town within the Argyll and Bute council area of Scotland. It has a total resident population of 8,120[1]. Despite its small size, it is the largest town between Helensburgh and Fort William and during the tourist season the town can be crowded by up to 25,000 people. Oban occupies a beautiful setting in the Firth of Lorn. Oban Bay is a near perfect horseshoe bay, protected by the island of Kerrera, and beyond Kerrera is Mull. To the north is the long low island of Lismore, and the mountains of Morvern and Ardgour." amungst other things and the thought that Buddhists would celibate it is funny, but wrong.

Hot hot days

Vikings

It is to be said that Vikings, unlike ninjas, are inevitably the top of the foodchain of superiority. Ninjas (otherwise known as gay pussies in tights), merely killed sleepy people and women. Vikings killed men, dogs, and just about anything that couldn't be raped (See above). Vikings, with their minimum maximum age of 3000, can never die naturally (except by laughter upon seeing a midget sing and dance), but can only be killed in combat. It is proven that ninjas lack ability to do so, and it is obvious that the only thing powerful enough to kill a Viking is, well, an even bigger Viking. Through historic reference on very concrete sources, the following examples were refound:

Battle of Hastings, 1066: Saxon Vikings got their pussy less-Viking asses kicked by the Norman Vikings.

The Viking Invasions of England, 800's: Saxon Vikings kicked the Norse Vikings' asses, then got their asses kicked in what could only be described as a Vikings' version of a consensual orgy.

Russia, 1600's: Russia was suffering from constant Viking raids. They constantly raped, pillaged, burned and killed everything. To defend themselves, Russians did what? That's right, fellas: they hired a Viking (Rorik the Rus).

Every other battle: Vikings either kill everybody or just kill other vikings.

However, Viking superiority is slightly offset by their lack of women. As such, Vikings rape to reproduce, creating no true Vikings (except Beowulf, the one full-Viking). Every Viking, save Beowulf, is a crossbreed between a purer Viking and rape.

Packard

Packard was an American luxury automobile marque built by the Packard Motor Car Company of Detroit, Michigan, and later by the Studebaker-Packard Corporation of South Bend, Indiana. The first Packard automobiles were produced in 1899 and the last in 1958.

From this beginning, through and beyond the 1930s, Packard-built vehicles were perceived as very competitive in the class of high-priced luxury American automobiles. The company was commonly referred to as being one of the "Three P's" of American motordom royalty, along with Pierce-Arrow of Buffalo, New York and Peerless of Cleveland, Ohio.[citation needed]For most of its history Packard was guided by its President and General Manager Alvan Macauley who also served as President of the National Automobile Manufactures Association.Inducted into the Automobile Hall of Fame, Macauley took Packard to the number one designer and producer of luxury automobiles in the United States and was highly competitive abroad, with markets in sixty-one countries and gross income of $21,889,000 in 1928. Macauley was responsible for the iconic Packard slogan, "Ask the Man Who Owns One."
Packard built trucks as well as excellent luxury cars. In 1912, a Packard truck, carrying a three-ton load, drove from New York City to San Francisco between 8 July and 24 August.[11] The same year, Packard had Service Depots in 104 cities.[11]

Travel Town

Took a lot of pictures here, kind of better than I remember but then again there are less trains that you can interact with than there used to be.

Travel Town One
Travel Town Two

Trains are commonly regarded as a strange combination of public transport, mobile torture device and lateness inductor. The ratio of public transport to torture varies as a function of the time of day. Around the beginning or end of the standard working day the ratio massively favors torture/lateness at the expense of transport. At other times of day the ratio balances out again.

Trains are freqently subjected to violent attacks by Vikings. It is believed that these attacks are in some way created to aid the power of trains to create lateness, or maybe due to their length. Further evidence for this hypothesis has recently come to light with the discovery of viking raids in the later parts of the middle ages. Again, lateness was created, sometimes decades worth, but in these instances the causal trains have not been identified. Other late era viking raids have been reported in the American West, late in the industrial age, with very large trains failing completely to arrive at their destinations, being found immobile, deep in the western deserts, with strange viking artifacts also present.

It's fire season

Helicopters (also known as Whirlycopters, retarded windmills, and, less commonly, "useful flying machines") do not exist. This is because they were obviously invented by a retard(Taylor Freisen) - no, not Leonardo Da Vinci - Michelangelo Antonionioni. They are an elaborate lie created by the battle pelican conspiracy in order to mask their own existence. Years ago, the grand pelican warlord Steven Seagal believed that the humans were becoming dangerously close to aware of the master pelican race and began to fill the world with helicopter propaganda in order to throw the humans off of the trail.

To any halfway intelligent human, however, it is obvious that helicopters do not, and cannot, exist. All one needs to come to this conclusion is a simple understanding of physics and the dynamics of flight. Flight is an illusion created by either a vigorous toss from a battle pelican (see: airplanes) or a complicated series of pulleys and levers, originally developed by David Blaine in 1776. The battle pelican theory however is heavily dependent on the shape of the object being thrown, and the use of a runway whereas the system developed by David Blane, clearly does not exist.

While the unexistence of the 'helicopter' is debated, a conversation in the U.N. resulted in a crashing of a chopper into the building killing many ambassadors and detonating the nuclear stockpile hidden underneath. The U.N have since been relocated to a small village outside of Zimbabwe.

It's Angel the Bad, the ass, don't know about the bad ass though..


Here is Henry welding the Special Moment Resisting Frame or SMRF as it is kown. He is standing on a peace of wood with a metal frame called a float because it floats out there in space. They are really fun on the outside of the buildings when you have a big drop below you.

Light Meter

So I found the meter I wanted from some woman in Down Town Los Angeles who agreed to come to my area (which is not far at all) to sell me the meter for pocket change. Now I am spending some time getting to know the meter and how to use it with my camera, the basics I think.

Seems like the Norwegian State TV has understood what their viewers want, to quote Torrentfreak: “NRK understands that the traditional distribution methods are changing, and that their viewers want to consume television shows wherever and whenever they want. The way people consume music and video has changed, and NRK doesn’t want to fall behind.”

Hurray for Norwegian State TV!

Just to bad about the politics...

I'm sorry, I won't insult your cookies again.
