the american badger

The only north american mammal i really need to see is an american badger....Where in the world?
As the name applies American badgers range throughout the central and western United States, north to Canada, south into central Mexico and Baja, and east into Ohio. Burrows can be found in grasslands, scrub and sandy desert regions. What are some behaviors? Badgers are known for their ability to dig. Strong, powerful front claws loosen dirt while hind feet rake it away. Badgers' wide, flattened body and pigeon-toed, rocking, waddling gait are unmistakable. Compulsive burrowers, over time, a badger settlement becomes a series of small quarries. The sleeping nests in which badgers stay during daytime are lined with dry grass. Primarily nocturnal during summer, they may use a different sleeping den each day. During winter when they become diurnal, badgers prefer to stay close to one den. If cornered, badgers defend themselves vigorously and effectively. It is not uncommon for badgers to form a "hunting partnership" with a coyote. What does it eat? Badgers are truly omnivorous, including birds, reptiles and arthropods although they feed primarily on rodents dug from their burrows. Badgers often plug up other exits before digging in to the main burrow of their prey.....so sometime this summer i am going to find a badger, and when i do find it i am going to akwardly stare at it.

Hey you, you're outta here!

This photo was in The Dispatch a few days ago and I thought it was really sweet! I think it captures a moment. My favorite event in professional sports is when an umpire tosses a disgruntled manager out of a ballgame. This Minnesota Twins skipper was ejected after kicking dirt and throwing his cap, both of which are classic ways a major league coach can express himself! Wouldn't it be funny in everyday life if people threw there hats and kicked dirt on eachother?

Next time I see you, I will have a hat on and a bag of dirt tied to my shoe. Take from that what you will.
counting chips
I have started to notice that many sandwich shops skimp you on chips. They are packaged just like the other mini bags, but when you crack it open there is practically nothing inside. I have recently been counting the chips i get....at the bear rock cafe in graceland shoppping center i recently was treated to six chips! Six fucking chips! Thanks alot Bear Rock cafe, that was very generous of you. On another ocassion at a local Subway i was frustrated to find about nine chips and some crushed chips that would probably form, maybe two more. Next time you go to a sub shop, count your chips.

I Love Banana Peppers

Banana Peppers are absolutely wonderful. They can really turn a good pizza into a great pizza. If you think about it, banana peppers are the pepperoni of the vegetable world. They have some kick like pepperoni, but not as much grease to overpower the natural taste of a pie. They are great as a solo topping, but they also work well with others (pepperoni, mushroom, sausage, olives etc.) Banana peppers can also add a little flavor to a sub or salad, so do yourself a favor....and do it with banana peppers

adam anderson's pickle juice incident


Tree of Snakes drummer Adam Anderson co-hosted a party on May 20th which resulted in him spraying a roomful of guests with pickle juice. It all started when Adam took a small sip of pickle juice, which was illogically followed up by him splashing me and bystander David Trenoff. His next move was to indiscriminately throw the vile fluid around the kitchen, hitting people left and right. The room was vacated so he grabbed some hamburger buns and ran outside to throw them at me.

starfruit

I declare the month of May Starfruit Month.... It is an awesome yet underappreciated fruit. Starfruit is never included in photos of balanced breakfasts, bubblegum flavors, juices, icecreams etc.
There are several redeeming qualities of Starfruit #1 the texture of Starfruit is unlike that of any other fruit, hence making it fun to consume #2 It presents itself nicely, you cut a slice of Starfruit like you would from a loaf of bread, however this fine fruit comes out in the shape of a star......so it looks cool without any effort #3 the taste of Starfruit is truely out of this world, like its name would suggest
