happy christmases

jj made this. it's disturbing. but that's a given.

horsies in their jammies.

jj, that little nut is you when i get back, for hijacking pictures of the jams for your blog. i's not happy.
but heres the pics of other jammies. on the horsies.

whizzy went to africa!

dis is whizzy. in front of their hut in africa on a safari. jj, i would like a vacation.

whizzy went to africa and saw deese very aminals. for REALZ!!

electromonster - kindof an aminal

jj wishes this was one of our aminals.

jj = afeard of clowns AND trolls also.

jj is obsessed with and afeard by trolls... so i thought i'd post this button so he can wear it to ward them off. away trolls away.

flood cleanup = gross

first and foremost: aminals. deese are some drrty ducks. see the signs below, they are swimming in front of that fort.

enlarge the picture - these people are very patriotic, they always have these flags lining their yard. but i cant figure out if they're in the trash pile now (got wet and thusly are little mold factories), or just patriotically lining the yard again.

i did not make this sign. or put that wig on that skeleton. i swear.

i did not make this sign either. i SWEAR!!! (fun fact: dad and i helped build this fort a few years ago... dad got the world's largest and deepest splinter because he refused to use the gloves i brought for him; he had to go to the hospital and have it surgically removed by an actual surgeon! no joke.)

this pile of stuff is from just our neighborhood. they are piling it here so there arent 500 cars trying to go in and out of the landfill. it's about 1/3 of the ruined bits of people's houses, theres still 2/3 of it blocking our street growing mold and smelling like mildew and crap. lovely.

some climbing for my blog

see jj, there IS climbing in findlay. marmot climbing! dee best kind. marmot was in seerius danger of being drownded and thusly deaded... so he or she as the case may be decided to ascend this pole. wonder how long heeshee was up there or if a boat ever came along for it.

some flair for jj to wear

not-so-amphibious vehicle

stunt driver on closed course. do not attempt.

right past that tree at the end, the dude had to stop and popped his hood... apparently he flooded his engine.

i dont even have to TRY to be that funny. it just comes out.

YAY! bluegill, largemouth and somethingelse, oh my!

dis is da puddoe. above. at our mailbox. deese are da fishermins, below. also, we are walking along the street which was the river yesterday, the panoramic of the pandemonium at the end of the video posted yesterday (third video)

dis is a deaded fish.

dis is a also deaded fish.

dis is a alive fish that made it to randy's pond. randy is the neighbor (not the one with the big hands)

jj will have to id the fish for me... i know 2 of them for sure tho are widemouth bass and bluegill... i forget what the other one is. theres some fotoz, some alive and some deaded... i only took pictures of the deaded ones for id purposes. the ones in the black bucket were too hard to see, and they blended in too much in the puddle. and most of the time once i got one into the net, i was too excited to remember to take a picture. or to get the camera to focus. some automatic camera...

tomorrow my instructions are to go find another puddle with fishes in it of the same kinds, and puts them in a tank for jj. because he wantses them. now he's animalizing hisself.

rock bass? pumpkinseed? dont think i got a picture of the one i cant id...

another fish out of water, and STILL no camera!!

driving along down brookside (my street) which is now mostly a street again, at least at our end (the other end, the way into town, is still under 4' of water for about 2 blocks), we saw a 24" carp flopping around in a quickly shrinking drainage ditch puddle... with a plastic bag and no camera (UGH!) and the help of a fearless neighbor with big hands, i got the carp (halfway) into the bag and carried to a pond nearby. it broke the bag (darn thing had to weigh 7 or 8 lbs... any other guesses as to how much a 24" carp would weigh??) and i had to carry its head in the bag and its tail in my hand (IIIIICK) the rest of the way, but it seemed quite happy to be in deeper water.

upon walking out to the mailbox to see if by chance the mailman still got thru today (NO), i found there are 5 or 6 little fishies swimming in the puddle around the mailbox post. my next project is to get them out with a net, and bucket them into our neighbor's pond! he will be glad, as most of his little fishies are now 2 miles down the road. i'll help him start restocking. i'll take pictures this time!

news pics of the flood in findlay

these are from comcast.net - taken wednesday, after a lot of the water had already started to retreat. i should have taken pictures of my brother's basement... with the electricity off, looking down the stairs and into the murky water was like a horror movie; the kind where a shark or giant maneating snake is circling in the 5' deep water, waiting to snatch you as you swim across to turn off the breaker box!!

signs

mom filled up her bathtub, this sink, and twice as many water bottles as seen here, when we heard they were going to turn off the city water. at least we'll be prepared when the aliens land.

puddy's awfully interested in the bottles... maybe she's an alien. also, notice the bleach off to the side. for cleaning the diptheria off our legs.

displacement

this would totally be better if i had a picture... but, my brother was walking (cant drive anywhere) and layin on the sidewalk was a big ole dead fish.

moxie learns to swim - the hard way

moxie appeared to be in the process of getting swept away by the river in our front yard... mama had a little meltdown and splashed to her rescue as she nearly disappeared into the bushes... no moxies were hurt or drownded in the filming of this swimming lesson.

what is that flashing and wierd high-pitched sound???

ugh the light in my eyes!!

pretty smile, happy dog :) finally stopped being a drama queen long enough for a cute pic!

by far jj's best movie yet

i promised jj i'd shamelessly plug his new movie on my blog... even tho it has nothing to do with animals. dont miss it, it comes out in a few weeks. he'll be super mad if you dont show him your support.

jj's always ready to fight, and his latest role is no different. watch him display his mad skilz of pointing at the camera. and his favorite, flying.

green shirt spotted at reunion

ok, after begging all family members i found some people with photo evidence that jj was at our family reunion!! however, it is also evidence that he is a bad influence. this is why jj is not allowed to have wee ones. someday he'll be zach's FAVORITE uncle...

booooooooo.

i was going to pretend i hadnt talked up the jj visit to ohio and promised all those pictures and whatnot, and just move on to more ridiculous animal postings... but i suppose i owe at least a comment on the fact that there are ZERO pictures of jj from the weekend in ohio. is it because he wasnt really here?? could he really tear himself away from the motherland and holy rocks for 2.5 days to enter the heat and humidity and surround himself with cornfields and flatness as far as the eye can see?? i guess we'll never know for sure, as there is no photographic evidence to prove or disprove... :( i know, you're soooo disappointed. we all wanted to see pictures of jj with all the different kinds of poop. i'm sure you'll get over it after several sessions with a counselor.

sad state of affairs for climbing in ohio

probably a good thing jj's in the boot... or else he'd make me go here: John Bryan State Park (check out that choss, jj would love it). top roping only, bouldering strictly prohibited. which means jj would get arrested in ohio. again.

for your entertainment try checking off rules jj would break while climbing here:
Guidelines for use of Rock Climbing Areas
-All climbers and spectators must register at the park office before going to climbing area at John Bryan State Park. Each Climber or spectator must take a registration tag from the board upon registration. If no tags are available, you must wait until someone checks out. tags?? what the hell is this, a ski resort??
-All climbers and spectators must have their registration tag on their person in plain view while in the climbing area. Registered climbers and spectators must also have their copy of their evidence of registration on their person while in the climbing area. jj climbs half naked... i dont want to know where he's going to stash all this documentation...
-All climbers and spectators must check out when finished by returning the registration tag to the board at the park office. Other climbers may be waiting for you to check out so they may register to climb. jj wont check out for 2 reasons: hordeing the area to keep others from climbing there, and because he'll be in too big of a hurry to commence with pizza/beer consumption
-Climbing is permitted only at designated sites. Each site is limited to a maximum of 10 people at a time. on first point: designated area schmesignated schmerea. on second point: jj travels with an entourage of at least 28 people carrying 32 pads.
-Climbers must be top roped at all times. No Lead Climbing or Bouldering.
Secure to anchor bolts only. No tying to trees. WHAT? NO TYING TO TREES? what about climbing the trees? plus, top roping is for sissies. you cant expect a stud like jj to comply with that rule...
-All climbing sites must be vacated at sunset. Climbers must check out before park closes 1/2 hours after sunset. oh boy... jj never gets out of ANYWHERE before sunset... he wears no watch, has no internal clock, and doesnt CARE for such things as hours of the day. plus, he usually leaves something behind that he has to go scampering back into the forest to retrieve (with his pad still on his back just in case he gets jumped by a mountain lion...)
Practice Environmentally Conscious Climbing: well, jj does love the environment...
-Minimize trips to the top. ok, you've all seen the boot... jj's not afraid of heights. he LOVES heights.
-Do not top-out. Lower down instead. perhaps this rule could have saved jj from the boot. alas, his greatest enjoyment in life is derived from standing on the top of a boulder, pounding his chest, waving his fists in the air, and stomping around like a monkey declaring victory over nature and his general "better-than-you-ness"
-Minimize the distances you travel from the cliff to avoid vegetation. jj LOVES taking the long way over a short distance, to enjoy the natural surroundings... i refer to it as getting lost... (plus, jj doesnt avoid vegitation - how many times has he asked chuffer what poison ivy looks like???)
-Leave the area cleaner than it was when you arrived. possibly and probably the only rule jj will leave unbroken. unless you count the excrement he'll leave behind... and i'm not even talking about the dogs...

more excitement for jj

jj will be taking an exotic trip to the farmlands of ohio for 4th of july... where he will be campusing the boot of doom around this new and exciting area: Vertical Reality (MUST be cool with that kind of name...). Heres the beta on how to get there: "Vertical Reality Gilboa Stone Quarry Located 15 miles West of Findlay, Ohio off State Route 224. Upon reaching Gilboa, turn left at the 10' cow to pick up old State Route 224, then turn right onto Old State Route 224. Go 1/4 mile and you are there." Wow. jj's kind of directions.

Vertical Reality is not just a climbing gym, it's a vertical xtravaganza! it also features a "Breakaway window for Tactical Entry"... imagine the many uses for that kind of skill???

sadly there are no pictures on their website... it must be choss. jj will TOTALLY love it.

THE FINAL COUNTDOWN

to jj's further submersion... he will be coming to Ohio and will subsequently find himself knee-deep in various types of excrement (which i have previously stated is his "favorite"). dont worry, an in-depth photojournal will follow.

los tres amigos

where the heck is el guapo?? probably off smoking cigarettes and dropping f-bombs... oh well. pictured (left to right) are dusty, lucky, (then lambie but he doesnt count), and ned nedelender. cant you see the little balls??

mox n jams

moxannika and pj-jammerman - hot hollywood couple of the year.

alternatively: Two A-holes messin up jj's bed.

Da Boo

dis is da boo.

dis is da boo and his pineappoe.

da boo LOOOOOOOOVE his pineappoe.

he LOOOOOOOOVE to put da pineappoe onto jj. it's his favowit thing.

It may look like da boo is sleeping. but dont you dare touch that pineappoe. unless it is to throws it for da boo, so dat da boo may goes and gets it, and put it on you. and poke it. and poke it. and paw at it. and whine a little. and then sleep on it.

PJ

the wrath of the animals upon jj's broken foot: there have been several incidents of "evil" committed by "freakshow" keyser (as jj calls him), however i maintain that keyser does no evil to jj on purpose, but merely as an effect of his attempt to garner love and affection and kissies on the lips. he just happens to trip jj to the ground in the process. however, this innocent little gray kitty has evil in his eyes, you can see. in jj's words: "after my shower, i was brushing my teeth when the cat came in. suddenly, he flipped to battle mode, wrapped all appendages around my bad ankle and proceeded to head-butt, then bite me DIRECTLY ON TOP OF THE FRACTURE. i yelped and he feared for his life. i will hunt him down later this evening and effectuate the end of his being."

score: pj 1 jj 0

(PJ - Pearl Jam - Jammers - The Jam Man - Jammies. PJ is the second animalizer of jj. we had moved to Colorado only weeks earlier, and already i was feeling lonely and needed something to cuddle (the bobanna smells too bad to cuddle, because of all the chainsmoking...). i dragged an unwilling jj all over the north end of denver in search of the perfect nonshedding cute cuddly needy kitty. pj got rescued from an unsavory place, totally flea infested and with killer ringworm all over his entire body, and was brought home in a cardboard box, with his fist symbolically punching up through the top and shaking in the air like a freedom fighter. needless to say, kitty with fleas and ringworm and a penchant for freedom didnt make a good cuddler!! hence the need for further animalization...)

jus chillin wit ma hoe...

gypsy.

she's sleeping.

that's all there is about that for now.

jasmine loves kathy griffin

she likes watchin tv in general... her fave's are kathy griffin and will and grace. this particular day she was psyched because it was 24 hour kathy griffin marathon day on bravo. i think she needs a beer...
