BBC Life DVD In Stores Today (Tuesday June 1)

BBC’s new epic nature series, LIFE, is available today (June 1) on DVD. It follows after the wildly successful series, PLANET EARTH. It’s 11 episodes of wonder, plants, animals, and much more…all about life on the planet. I have a copy and have been watching parts of it (it’s VERY long, over 11 hours!), and it’s fantastic. The photography and epic nature of the thousands of hours of footage is mind boggling. They apparently shot the series over a period of 3, 000 days.

Some People Are Too Stupid to Live

Some people are stupid to be alive. Here are a few examples. Women who have steralized themselves in order to ensure they never have babies…why? Well, because babies pollute the planet, silly, and enviro-nuts like these couldn’t possibly think of a worse thing to do than ever pollute the planet.

These freaks make me want to do everything in my power to pollute twice as much- it’d be a hoot to see their faces as I undo every insane thing they do to ‘save the planet’. Let’s all, in the spirit of giving, pollute twice as much just to piss nuts like this off. I mean, really- do they deserve any less?

Ratatouille Checks

I needed some new checks, so I ordered a box…not just any box. But a box of RATATOUILLE checks from the disney film of the same name (a great movie that I loved).

Ratatouille Checks
You can order them here

You’re all jealous, I know. The chicks totally dig it.

I was going to get the address labels, but that was extra, so I said forget that…

NAACP: Vick Innocent Until Proven Guilty…Those Duke Lacrosse Players? No comment!

I love it. The NAACP seems to think that it has to come out and have a press conference because a black man in America is indicted for a crime, yet he’s not yet gone to trial and been convicted by a jury of his peers.

Why did they decide to have a press conference? No idea. It’s absurd. Because he’s a black man, they have to come out and support him? And if Hitler were a black man? Of course I’m not comparing Vick (whether he’s guilty or not) to Hitler…but it seems that these groups (Al Sharpton is coming out to support him as well) go all out to support a person just because of the color of his skin. Why do groups like the NAACP do this? Is brutal dogfighting a new way to fight for the “advancement” of “colored people”?? They make themselves look foolish and useless when they come out for any black American simply because he or she is black.

Worse- do they only care about black Americans? Where were they when the Duke lacrosse players were wrongfully accused of raping a black stripper who completely made the story up? Why no press conference then? Why no calls for fairness, let’s wait to see what a jury says about the issue?

Would an organization that bills itself as a defender of “whites” come out to defend anyone in the spotlight, no matter how guilty the person looks, just because that person is white? Would a race-based organization that is connected to white Americans even be allowed to exist without riots outside the organization’s headquarters? Why the double standard? Why the obsession with race to begin with. When can we live in the world King dreamed of- one that didn’t see color, but rather character?

Nature Lovers Who Love Nature TOO Much

I’m watching this PBS show on the oceans and life in the oceans. They’re talking about whales. I’m only half paying attention, until I hear a guy ask a colleague or whoever the other guy is to tell the Navy ship in the area to turn off their sonar, or else they might end up with some deaf or injured whales.

Excuse me?! Dear Navy, stop trying to test sonar to look for nuclear subs that might attack the United States, because we wouldn’t want any deaf whales.

Sorry pal, but if it comes to whales and Navy sonar to protect us- to hell with the whales. In fact, to hell with them to such a degree that you can give me a gun, and I’ll blow the whales away myself.

We don’t live in a utopia as some of these bozos think. And, I’m sorry, but I’m more important than ANY animal including a whale. If it came down to protecting one human life or killing EVERY whale on earth, I’d kill every whale on earth. If you choose the side of the whales and watch a human die because of it- then you’re a nature lover who loves nature too much, and we should probably ship you off to an island somewhere where you can be at peace with nature. That is, until nature decides it wants no part of you and a mountain lion eats your face off, or an ape rips off an arm and you slowly bleed to death…and let me tell you- that whale, when you get into the water with it, is eventually going to eat you too when it gets hungry enough! Unlike your buddy next to you on the ship, that whale isn’t going to do a thing when a shark comes up and takes in both your legs with one gulp, leaving you a bloody floatation device!

These types of nature lovers are some of the most dangerous people out there. They will file lawsuits (and they actually have) preventing our military from using top of the line equipment, because some sea turtle might get hurt, or some whales might go deaf. These people seem to not understand that without protection the military gives us- we will ALL be gone, and that includes the whales. When the nukes start flying, because your whiny ass filed a suit to protect whale hearing, or you wanted to save a rare bird species, here’s a hint- the bird species is going to be decimated with the initial blast or the fallout…and here’s the kicker- you will be gone too! We all will. It’s not an all black or white issue, but then again- it is!

When it comes to nature lovers who love nature more than their fellow man- I worry about them. I think many of them might be downright insane and in need of rooms with padded walls. I can’t imagine how these fools go home to their families, knowing they’d gladly sacrifice a human life for a fricken whale or a shark or a dolphin or whatever else.

Of course, this issue goes further than military matters…you can bring in housing development, new shopping centers, whatever. I’m all for helping little animals have their habitats and all, but when it comes to people- there’s zero contest, the little furry and not-so-furry creatures say, ‘bye bye!’

I say- to hell with nature…let’s worry about you and me, our friends and families, and our safety and well being. If to get that safety, it meant having to kill off all the dolphins and whales and sharks- bring in the harpoons and let’s get to work.
—————

Note to the idiots among us: childish comments telling me to kill myself won’t be approved. You’re free to think you’re an animal all you want, but I, myself, am not an animal. Maybe YOU are, I’ve no way of knowing personally. Nor do I care to find out.

Shocking news with the following- stupidity isn’t tolerated. Actually, please do comment again, so I can get your IP and add it to the askimet list, so it will automatically be sent to spam where it belongs.

Sick Bunny

So, the white bunny that I got just 2 weeks ago is sick. She had a parasite- coccidia that was causing digestive problems, soft poop, and severe dehydration. LNK to her to the vet for me, as I was working (actually I worked 3 extra hrs in the early morning for this to happen- and boy did it tire me out, as I didn’t get off till 11 PM, then had to deal with checking on the rabbits when I got home, worrying about the black (first) rabbits, etc)…

Anyhow- the vet gave her a lactated ringer solution to hydrate her and some medicine to get rid of the parasite and stop the digestive problems. I noticed Friday night that she passed a gelatin looking thing, so that freaked me out, which meant I had to look up all the info. I could, post to a rabbit forum for help (they were VERY helpful), I went out and from advice on a website bought pedialyte to hydrate her (7 dollars a bottle! geez!), put the other rabbit in a different cage…etc.

So, she has her meds (orally taken for 20 days with a little syringe- she’s taken it well the first 2 days!), she has hay and is in the cage alone. She hasn’t drank much, but she’s eating the hay from what I have seen of her chewing on it…I got some of the pedialyte down her via the syringe for the medicine, only about .7 cc’s, but it’s better than nothing…

Luckily, the vet, the fecal tests, the medicine, and the LRS (for hydrating her- it’s a massive injection of fluids straight into her body near her spine and head)only costs $92 total. It took forever to find an actual vet that dealt with exotics who was actually open on Saturday (turns out, this lady is also open on Sundays!) Now, the first bunny has soft poop- she’s totally active, just as she was before…she runs fast, gets away quickly, etc. The vet told LNK that maybe the parasite would pass to the first bunny, but she might be healthy enough to fight it off without help.

I should note- the bunny was sick from the start, and the vet said she saw another bunny from the very same store with the very same parasite but worse. LNK called them to let them know they were selling sick rabbits and I might take the advice of those on the forum I’ve been getting help and info. from and notify the SPCA about it, just to make sure they’re not selling very sick rabbits. I think they should refund my 20 bucks AND pay the nearly $100 vet bill, as it was sick from their store. They won’t do that tho. No way are they going to say yes to that. From what I’ve read, most pet stores are interested in the dollar more than anything else…that’s why they always say never buy from pet stores, get your pets from professional breeders. Unfortunately, the pet store option is so much easier and right there in the open for you to see all the time, so you get into just buying their animals.

Anyhow- I hope the original bunny is okay, she has soft poop and that’s her only problem…and the sick bunny hopefully gets better!

I’m off to get a couple hrs more sleep. I was woken up at 6 AM by sounds…the original bunny escaped from the makeshift uncovered cage- I think I reinforced the barriers enough now where she won’t be making anymore escapes! Let’s keep our fingers crossed in that regard!

PS- here are two pics of Hopper (aka Dennis Hopper the rabbit- I don’t care if she’s a girl, her name is Dennis Hopper!)

4th of July

So…what did everyone do on the 4th of July? I woke up around 11AM, ate an assortment of veggies, went to the pet store to look at bunnies and guinea pigs, took all my loose change (in a pop tart box) to a coinstar machine and got $51…ate grilled hamburgers (the frozen patty kinds- gross), macaroni and cheese, green beans, and corn…went to find a place that sold fireworks and bought some bottle rockets and sparklers (the bottle rockets for my pleasure, the sparklers for someone else)…came back to the house after finding a place that sold fireworks, walked I’d guess a mile to get to the large hill that overlooks the riverfront (Ohio River) for the fireworks…watched them, came home and swam in the pool for over an hour. And, now I’m here after watching an episode of SPACED (British comedy from the makers of Shaun of the Dead), the second season premiere of PEEP SHOW (another British comedy), and eating some macaroni salad, because it’s good and it’s good for you. It’s probably not, but let’s pretend…

I have a second bunny now. A lop eared white bunny. It’s a female, same as the first. It’s not mine actually, but it’s staying here sort of. Complicated. They’re currently snuggled together (again), and they’re both on their sides. This is doubly good- they have bonded AND they both feel comfortable and safe (on their sides, no legs under them to quickly get away from danger.)

I’d get a pic of them snuggling together, but it’s hard enough to see thru the cage bars, let alone not arouse their suspicion by moving all close when they’re trying to nap. I have no doubt, when I get out of this chair to lie down in bed, they will be moving about from my slight movement, soft sounds, what have you…Oh well. It’s cute, and you’ll just have to take my word for it.

I need to check to see when MONSTER HOUSE opens. I want to see that movie.
