        <![CDATA[<P>A while back I wrote about the <A class="" title="Miracle Fruit" href="http://www.nytimes.com/2008/05/28/dining/28flavor.html" target=_blank mce_real_href="http://www.nytimes.com/2008/05/28/dining/28flavor.html">Miracle Fruit</A> from Africa. I know you don't remember this because no one pays any attention to me. It's a&nbsp;berry that you eat and it turns all sour foods into sweet. J ordered a couple of plants months ago and being the guy who has the nuturing instinct of, well, a <EM>GUY</EM>, one died almost immediately and the other is on life support. So we ordered the <A class="" title="ThinkGeek Miracle Fruit" href="http://www.thinkgeek.com/caffeine/candy/ab3f/" target=_blank mce_real_href="http://www.thinkgeek.com/caffeine/candy/ab3f/">Miracle Fruit Tablets</A> from ThinkGeek and decided to go ahead and have a Scurvy Party before we got too old and still had our own teeth. Yes, this is a dig on J's agricultural skills.</P>
<P>We started with lots of citrus fruit; key limes, oranges, lemons, limes, grapefruit.</P>
<P>
<DIV style="TEXT-ALIGN: center"><IMG title="Citrus Fruit" style="WIDTH: 400px; HEIGHT: 300px" height=300 alt="Citrus Fruit" src="http://www.fetchmyflyingmonkeys.com/blog/images/fruit1.jpg" width=400 mce_real_src="http://www.fetchmyflyingmonkeys.com/blog/images/fruit1.jpg"></DIV>
<P></P>
<P>Then we took one Miracle Fruit tablet and let it desolve completely on our tongues.</P>
<P>
<DIV style="TEXT-ALIGN: center"><IMG title="Miracle Fruit" style="WIDTH: 400px; HEIGHT: 300px" height=300 alt="Miracle Fruit" src="http://www.fetchmyflyingmonkeys.com/blog/images/fruittabs.jpg" width=400 mce_real_src="http://www.fetchmyflyingmonkeys.com/blog/images/fruittabs.jpg"></DIV>
<P></P>
<P>Then we tore into the fruit like runaway slaves on a pirate ship. I first bit into a lemon and found it to be one of the most sickeningly sweet things I have ever tasted. It was so shocking at first that I instantly didn't like it. J thought the lemon was sweet but not too sweet and was just moderately impressed. Next were the key limes. I again thought it was sickeningly sweet. J thought it was tasty. Same with the regular limes.</P>
<P>Then we tried the grapefruit. </P>
<P>Oh. My. God. We both thought the grapefruit was the nectar of the Gods. It was sweet without being overpowering. Like the best grapefruit you have ever eaten in your life. Hell, I'm even thinking about going on a grapefruit diet on these tablets. Words cannot describe completely how good that grapefruit was.</P>
<P>Next was the orange. It was delicious. It wasn't exactly on the nectar of the Gods level, but more like turning a winter orange into a scrumptious in-season off-the-tree orange.</P>
<P>
<DIV style="TEXT-ALIGN: center"><IMG title="Citrus Fruit" style="WIDTH: 400px; HEIGHT: 300px" height=300 alt="Citrus Fruit" src="http://www.fetchmyflyingmonkeys.com/blog/images/fruiteaten.jpg" width=400 mce_real_src="http://www.fetchmyflyingmonkeys.com/blog/images/fruiteaten.jpg"></DIV>
<P></P>
<P>So all in all we recommend these tablets. I know I'll use them again, especially for eating grapefruit. Next time I want to eat some strawberries you find in the grocery stores in the winter. It really is amazing how sweet stuff tastes. The effects wore off in less than an hour. And there were no side-effects after I got my vision back unless you count the complete numbness I still have on my left side. But I think that was caused by the key limes. Well, at least I wont get scurvy.</P>
<P><STRONG>NOTE</STRONG>: There were no side effects. I sometimes take creative license with my blog. That's fancy lawyer talk for lying like a dog without legal consequences.</P>]]>

<P></P>
<P>I just got out of the shower. Sorry for the mental imagery, but I feel like confessing to some kind of disorder I may be suffering from. No, I'm not talking about my usual kind of crazy that often shows up here that's not so "between the lines." I'm talking about some kind of addiction I have with beauty products. More specifically, bathing products.</P>
<P>Right this moment there are eight bottles of hair conditioner (most no more than half empty), six bottles of shampoo (again, most no more than half empty) four bottles of assorted fruit and food scented body wash, two bottles of girly shaving lotion, and a large bottle of Neutrogena Sesame Body Oil. Now these are just what's around the edge of the tub. On the over the shower caddy is two more bottles of shampoo, one conditioner, apricot facial scrub, another girly shaving lotion, an olive oil body wash, two Lady something or other four bladed razors (I guess I need backup), a bar of soap, two of those puffy mesh body sponges, a large tooth comb, and a wash cloth. Please note- I NEVER use an entire bottle of any bath product. Also, I will not list what products are in the linen closet. I'm not ready to reveal too much of this particular crazy yet. I would have taken a picture of my shower for ya'll but I knew my shower soap scum and the hair I had cleaned from the drain and threw up on the ledge would just disgust you and I don't have time to clean first. I'm on my way to Target to get some Bumble and Bumble hair conditioner. It's da bomb.</P>
<P>I know you guys that can wash your entire body from head to toe with a half used bar of Cashmere Bouquet soap from the Sheraton won't understand. But I'm ready to take some baby steps. I need to send all my half used products to some stinky third world, combination skinned, hairy appendaged, normal to dry haired country. Perhaps France?</P>]]>

        <![CDATA[<P>Today I went to the South Carolina State Museum at lunch time. A few co-workers and I like to do a monthly field trip to some point of interest in this capital city. Today it was the museum. This was my first time to this particular museum. And I don't know what I expected, but I don't think this was it. I knew it wouldn't be anything like the Smithsonian, but I wasn't expecting an outhouse exhibit. No shit, an outhouse.</P>
<P>
<DIV style="TEXT-ALIGN: center"><IMG title=Outhouse style="WIDTH: 400px; HEIGHT: 600px" height=600 alt=Outhouse src="http://www.fetchmyflyingmonkeys.com/blog/images/museum58.jpg" width=400 mce_real_src="http://www.fetchmyflyingmonkeys.com/blog/images/museum58.jpg"></DIV>
<P></P>
<P>I liked how they recycled their Abraham Lincoln mannequins though.</P>
<P>
<DIV style="TEXT-ALIGN: center"><IMG title="Submarine Lincoln" style="WIDTH: 400px; HEIGHT: 300px" height=300 alt="Submarine Lincoln" src="http://www.fetchmyflyingmonkeys.com/blog/images/museum46.jpg" width=400 mce_real_src="http://www.fetchmyflyingmonkeys.com/blog/images/museum46.jpg"></DIV>
<P></P>
<P>They also had cute woodland creatures dead and stuffed and posed in ways to delight the little kiddies.</P>
<P>
<DIV style="TEXT-ALIGN: center"><IMG title=Snake style="WIDTH: 400px; HEIGHT: 300px" height=300 alt=Snake src="http://www.fetchmyflyingmonkeys.com/blog/images/museum15.jpg" width=400 mce_real_src="http://www.fetchmyflyingmonkeys.com/blog/images/museum15.jpg"></DIV>
<P></P>
<P>Some exhibits were a little confusing.</P>
<P>
<DIV style="TEXT-ALIGN: center"><IMG title="Museum Exhibit" style="WIDTH: 400px; HEIGHT: 300px" height=300 alt="Museum Exhibit" src="http://www.fetchmyflyingmonkeys.com/blog/images/museum48.jpg" width=400 mce_real_src="http://www.fetchmyflyingmonkeys.com/blog/images/museum48.jpg"></DIV>
<P></P>
<P>But they explained the important ones.</P>
<P>
<DIV style="TEXT-ALIGN: center"><IMG title=Outhouse style="WIDTH: 400px; HEIGHT: 460px" height=460 alt=Outhouse src="http://www.fetchmyflyingmonkeys.com/blog/images/museum59.jpg" width=400 mce_real_src="http://www.fetchmyflyingmonkeys.com/blog/images/museum59.jpg"></DIV>
<P></P>
<P>Now here's a picture I took just for J. He has&nbsp;some kind of major man love for lasers and astronauts. Here's your birthday present. Hey, there's a recession going on.</P>
<P>
<DIV style="TEXT-ALIGN: center"><IMG title=Astronaut style="WIDTH: 400px; HEIGHT: 300px" height=300 alt=Astronaut src="http://www.fetchmyflyingmonkeys.com/blog/images/museum38.jpg" width=400 mce_real_src="http://www.fetchmyflyingmonkeys.com/blog/images/museum38.jpg"></DIV>

        <![CDATA[<P>I try to walk everyday on my lunch hour when it's not 500 degrees outside. Even though it actually hasn't cured my case of <A class="" title="Chair Ass" href="http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=chair+ass" target=_blank mce_real_href="http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=chair+ass">chair ass</A>, it at least breaks up the monotony of the day. These are pics I took with my iPhone of houses and such along my walk. If you don't live in Columbia, you might actually think it's pretty.</P>

        <![CDATA[<P>Last night I posted my Photo Challenge entry below and also worked on my site a little. I put my favorite banner/masthead up temporarily until I construct a winter banner. I may just stop doing seasonal banners and stick to just this one. I don't know. Suggestions, anyone? I also made my George Clooney button that's over there on the left. Anyone that has been reading my stuff knows that I love me some George and I thought the whole restraining order thing funny. Also, I'm hoping that by mentioning GEORGE CLOONEY enough here that one day he will google himself ('cause we all know actors do this) and he'll find me and want to hook up. Yes, GEORGE CLOONEY, I mean you. Call me.</P>
<P>Anyway, I finished late, went to bed and this morning I opened my site and gave it a once over. I can truly say that I think I have succeeded in looking like a total lunatic to the outside world. Here I have my love of guns, my whole tale of what I would do to intruders, how I would lie under oath with my fake tears of remorse, my unnatural love and obsession of a movie star (GEORGE CLOONEY), my intrigue with zombies and the Amish, and there's even spilled vodka at the bottom of the page. And this is without reading the archives about my whole world domination plans. I look like I am a total gun totin', finger condom wearin', movie star stalkin', horror movie obsessed, pathological lyin' sociopath redneck lush. YAY! Now I won't have to do an "About Me" page!</P>]]>

<P></P>
<P>The photo challenge this week was to take a picture of one of the scariest things you own. I was going to photograph some leg warmers I own, circa 1980, but I couldn't find them. Then I remembered I had a Lady Epilator somewhere. That's a device that RIPS out unwanted hair-PAINFULLY. But I couldn't find that either. So I picked the scariest thing I had handy. This is the .38 Special that I have beside my bed. I don't particularly find it scary, but I know other people do. Or maybe it's the fact that I <EM>actually own weapons</EM> that would scare the hell out of some people. I don't know. But rest at ease folks. I'm trained, licensed and even have medals and ribbons in marksmanship. I am also not one bit afraid to use deadly force if it is called for. Yeah, I may cry like a baby when I cut my finger dicing potatoes or even on some of those long distance commercials, but I will fuck your shit up for real if you were to break into my house. Now, by YOU I don't mean YOU the reader. I mean YOU the intruder. I will empty this into you, reload, and empty it again. Then I will bash your head in with a lamp before I step past your carcass and exit the area. When I am standing in front of the judge and he asks me why I used such excessive force, I will tell him that I had watched too many horror films and know that when you walk past the body is when you get grabbed, so I was just making certain you were no longer a threat. And I'll probably shed some tears to help my case. I'll just think of one of those 'away from home at the holidays' commercials.</P>]]>

<P>This was the Thanksgiving meal we received at work yesterday afternoon. It looks <EM>way</EM> better than it tasted. They had the meal catered by who I can only suppose cooks for the prison system. Or I guess I should say that it tasted like what I imagine prison food would taste like. That's how bad it was. When I couldn't even smell the food (mind you I have no cold) I knew it was a risk, so I pitched it almost immediately. This morning we took a survey and eight out of ten co-workers suffered some kind of gastro-intestinal upset. I avoided the restrooms COMPLETELY.</P>]]>

<P>I bought these to put over my bandaged mutilated thumb to keep it dry while I shower. They work pretty well, but are really big and I have to wrap a small pony tail hair thingy around the bottom to seal it and make it completely waterproof. This also leaves a large "reservoir tip." But that's okay, even if I don't anticipate my thumb ejaculating anything. If it did, I would again totally <EM>FREAK THE FUCK OUT</EM>. I've asked all the guys I know if they make small condoms. Every one of them said they wouldn't know and left in a rush.</P>]]>

        <![CDATA[<P>Yesterday I cut my right thumb so badly that blood was pouring everywhere. By the time I ran into the bathroom and grabbed the bandaging material, the towel I had wrapped around it was soaked in blood and was dripping onto the floor to form a puddle. All the time I was frantically opening the bandaging material boxes with my mouth I was crying and sniveling, and I can't remember but I think I was saying, "Oh God, oh God, oh God" over and over. When I had finally wrapped a huge amount of 'Hurt Free' wrap a hundred times tightly around it, I was crying like a little school girl. I was holding my wrapped thumb tightly and rocking myself back and forth sobbing hysterically. <EM>I WAS FREAKED THE FUCK OUT</EM>.</P>
<P>When the hell did this happen to me? I was always THE PERSON. THE ROCK.&nbsp;The one you wanted around in an emergency, the one you wanted in a foxhole with you. The one you wanted fighting beside you in case of zombie warfare. I've been through some nasty emergencies with friends and family. I sat and held pressure to wounds and waited for the ambulance with my brother that had taken a spill on the tractor and the mower ran over him! By the way, what kept him from being total ground meat was he luckily fell mostly in a ditch. Hell, I always knew I could easily pull a Rambo and suture up myself, or anyone else for that matter, with a tad of extra thread or a horse's tail hair and an upholstery needle if I had to. Many times I've taken my own sutures out just so I wouldn't have to go back to the doctors. I've held a mirror and watched the oral surgeon extract my wisdom teeth for crapsake.</P>
<P>But now I completely doubt myself.</P>
<P>This morning I changed the bandages. It was horrible because the gauze had stuck to the wound and I cried like the weak pansy ass I have become. I even had to lay down afterwards and try to find my happy place, stifling the cries into my pillow. I'm so disgusted with myself.</P>
<P>I would take a picture of it and post it, but I can't even bear to look at it. My previous self would have snapped pics from all angles just in hopes of grossing just one of you out. Now, I would probably pass out just looking at it through the lens. I'm such a candy ass <EM>girl.</EM> Blech.<EM></EM></P>
<P>Remember, you are on your own in the event we are attacked by zombies. I'll be the blubbering, freaked out bitch laying on the ground with a broken high heel screaming hysterically until my brain gets eaten out of my head.</P>]]>
