Maine Jokes

For lack of a better topic, (and because my friend sent them to me and he has been sending me stuff to post on my blog since I started it, and I kinda feel bad for never posting his stuff until now,) I put up these Maine jokes.  Most of them aren't very funny, but a few are; enjoy!

You Know You're in Maine:

If you own more than four pair of gloves.

If every other vehicle is a 4X4.

If camping is allowed it's only in steel sided campers.

If, when the sun goes down, you start looking for your coat.

If in March your vehicle is 43% mud.

If you leave your keys in your car and the next morning your car is still there.

If you're on the shoulder of the highway with your hood up and somebody stops to help you.

If you can pay for six big macs with a personal check.

If drive by shootings only occur on the evening news.

If your central heating system is fueled by large logs.

If you see numerous chauffeur-driven dogs.

If you can see the stars at night.

If people drive 100 miles to shop in a real mall.

If a deer throws itself under your wheels.

If you got a set of new snow tires for Valentines day.

If more than 1/2 the meat in your freezer is moose.

If the term "chill factor" is part of your daily vocabulary.

If the bumper jack in your pickup will lift a house.

If you only paid $5 to cut down your own douglas fir christmas tree.

If you enjoy a hot chocolate more than you do a margarita.

If a girls basketball game fill's the school gym.

If you put the car heater on your list of best friends.

If you pawned a snow blower instead of a set of golf clubs.

If dressing up means wearing a tie with your flannel shirt.

If you think you're in a traffic jam when you're in the second car at the light.

If you don't use your blinker because everyone already knows where you're going.

If your long john's don't come off until mid-May

Funny Animals

This cow is really bored!

 I randomly decided to make a post completely about funny animal pictures and videos.  I hope you find them as funny as I do.

Yes, I have included this picture in a previous post, and so I will not explain it again.

I wish my cat could do that!  I heard you can train cats to flush toilets  by placing meat on the handles, but Oasis still uses a litter box...



Well, It looks like I've posted as much annoying/mildly amusing stuff as people can stand in one post.  Now I would end this post like I have countless others by saying I have homework to do, but school's out.  I'll have to come up with a new tradition for ending summer posts.  If you really want to, you can give me some suggestions in the form of comments.

(Ending would go here.)

PS: I'm conducting a survey about my blog soon, so you can start figuring out how you are going to hack Google docs and mess with my results now.

(Second ending would go here.)

Prodject Citezen

I think that project citizen may just be the worst mass school project yet.  In case you don't know what it is, project citizen is a program to get students involved in government by having them change a public policy for the better.  Seems like a good idea, right?  Well everyone seems to, except students, and most congressmen.  It ends up being one of those things that has a deadline that gets pushed farther and farther back, until, it is finished very sloppily two weeks from the end of school.  Then, it is sent into the VA general assembly so they can tell us how sloppy we are.  Oh, I bet you thought it was only in Virginia; well, it's taken hold of about 20% of middle schools across the country.

On a less annoyed and infuriated note; if you enjoy reading my blog, chances are, others will too.  If you want to share the wonders of my blog, you can use the buttons at the bottom of every post.  There is a button for most popular social networking sites.  You could even "Blog This" 


Coming soon: a Facebook "Like" button, so you can "Like" my entire blog, not just put one post on your or a friend's wall.

Random Photo I Took

For lack of a better topic, I decided to take one somewhat interesting photo from my computer, and write about it.
    This photo is of the grisly bears at the Bronx Zoo.  I took it while I was visiting my grandmother who lives in the greater New York area.  If you really need to know, it took me around 20 tries to get the perfect photo of the bear standing up.
   It's kind of funny how cute and cuddly the bears look, because the sign said they could rip your head off with one swing of their claws.  Also, notice how muscular the bears look.
    Sorry, would write more, but my mom says I have to go do my homework.  But- one last thing.
I'm planning a photo contest.  There will be no theme, just be sure to include either animals or really interesting plants in your photo.  Also, no pictures of gastropods will be accepted  I will post and email (to followers and the Morrill group)  instructions for entering in the next week.
    Now, I really must do my homework.

Mythbusters

This video was made for a contest, it's pretty obvious.  Please don't email me telling me how stupid I look, I know already.  The narrator is my 6th grade science teacher, Mr. Lands.

Be sure to watch the whole thing, about halfway through, someone breaks a beaker in the middle of the filming.  It's really funny, because Matt just barely manages to keep a straight face and keep talking.
Enjoy the video!
