Gerby on Wheels


Yup...today I did it. With the help of my sidekick Mr Cobb I learned how to ride a bike. Only took me 31 years. Video will be coming shortly.

But for now a photo will have to do...

That Oregon Duck

Who is actually a Donald, it is a long and involved story, but basically one of the only nice things Disney does (they are truly an evil empire).
But back to the point....The Oregon Donald, appears to have a history of fighting, as can be seen in this footage.

In my vast experience with waterfowl, I find that they can be quite pesky and ferocious if taunted. So a word of warning if your run into the Oregon Donald, keep on his good side. It is embarassing to have your ass kicked by a duck.

When Mascots Attack

I do love it when mascots fight. I remember many moons ago when the Oregon Donald and the Utah hawklike thing got in a fantastic brawl...truly spectacular.

But here is a clip from a game last night, featuring one of my least favorite schools Oral Roberts U versus IUPUI, which you have to love because it is a palindrome. While ORU won the game (those bastards), IUPUI won the more important game (MASCOT RUMBLE).

Life with a cat

Simon Tofield creates these awesome cartoons about life with cats. I would probably not appreciate them, except for the delightful Tiger Cat.

She typifies this behavior whenever she wants to go in or out....

Gerbie goes to LA

We had a great time. I am really looking forward to moving there. I think it will be a ton of fun. I even saw my first celebrity. Steve-o from jackass. If you are wondering if he is always that way, the answer appears to be yes, based on his appearance at the burbank airport.

But here are some other celebrities I met, I think Joss approves :)
