Last post by Rob - September 08, 2009, 04:10:47 AMI don't do reality television. And I give that the same weight as when I say I don't do crack. So I have no idea what that show is or who Heidi is yodeling.
The bear looks cool though. He was just looking for some pic-a-nic baskets. And maybe Boo Boo's murderer.
I think that those pictures are from the set of CSI:Yellowstone where Yogi finds Boo Boo in a garbage dumpster and has to solve the crime before the vet puts him down. ;D

Last post by Junodog - September 07, 2009, 01:25:05 PM;D Thanks.
Here's a bear that tried to get into the garbage shed that belongs to the restaurant across the alley. The same restaurant, I might add, that Heidi Montag's parents own and run. Why am I talking about someone from The Hills, one of the most ridiculous (and stupid/pointless) reality TV shows in existence? Because so far she's the only person I know of who was raised in Crested Butte who's incredibly famous. But enough about that, she's boring. This is a BEAR we're talking about here, and I actually got multiple DECENT pictures. This is IMPORTANT to me because it gives me a reason to randomly type in ALL CAPS.
He kind of got sick of the camera flash after a while, so the fourth picture isn't quite as exciting.
Edit: And yeah, those were taken from inside my house. We opened the window so that the flash wouldn't reflect off of the glass and completely obscure the bear.

Last post by Rob - September 05, 2009, 05:14:22 PMWrite it up with any video or pictures and I'll put it on the front page if you want. If instead you plan on doing something with one of the multitude of Grifball sites as far as reporting about it I'll mention it and link to it.
Hope you have a good time.
At the very least let us all know here how it went. ;)

Last post by Junodog - August 30, 2009, 12:11:15 AMYeah, this will be the first time for me that I'll stay in a foreign country for more than three weeks since my family moved to the US. Belgium, I was there in third grade with my dad while he was doing stuff concerning his mother in the nursing home, so the only things I really got to experience were his hometown's playground (which was AMAZING, by the way), the candy (also amazing), going to the zoo and seeing the dolphin show (again, amazing, I love dolphins and always have) and going down to France for a few days to visit my uncle and my two cousins (my cousins didn't speak any English, but we still had a blast).
I was in the UK for a school trip my junior year, we went for about ten days over October break and basically focused on London, Edinburgh, and a couple towns in between, and saw all the main sights and such. I think the teachers described it as a 'get all the touristy things over with so that the next visit can focus on the really cool stuff' kind of trip. It was pretty fun, despite the fact that half of us got sick at some point during the second half, including me.
South Korea was a graduation gift. My sister taught at an after-regular-school English school in a town that was huge by my standards but tiny by Korean standards (200,000 people or something around there), so it was really obvious that I was a foreigner. I stayed with her for three weeks, and we went to Japan briefly when she got her summer 'vacation' (more like a four-day weekend) and I got to feel that wonderfully awkward feeling of having everybody staring at me every time I went outside. She has a few interesting stories from her time there, like people asking her if she was Russian, which in Korea apparently being Russian means you're a prostitute. It didn't happen to me while I was there, luckily.
Dominican Republic was a trip that was half-fun, half-studying about extreme poverty and poverty alleviation strategies. It was definitely an interesting experience, which makes it feel strange that it's the only one that I don't have a lot to say about right now.
I've heard a lot that each country's perspective on history is unique, so I don't plan on taking anything for granted. And I'm glad you can see why I don't want to study philosophy. :D Even growing up around art, I still have a low tolerance for ambiguity or the search for inner meaning.
I'll be sure to post pictures of Oktoberfest, I'm going to try to go even though I don't like beer (or any kind of alcohol for that matter) because I want to get the traditional clothes and ride roller coasters and hang out with my brother and experience culture and all that good stuff. I'm also going to be going to at least one convention, meeting up with an online friend who's going to be in costume as Ling Yao, a character from the Fullmetal Alchemist manga that didn't make it into the first anime due to a major timeline/storyline split.
I am also going to stock up on German candy like superstitious people stocked up on toilet paper during the Y2K scare.

Last post by Rob - August 29, 2009, 07:10:01 AMAs a soldier I've traveled the world. I've been to Frankfurt; spent some time in Vincenza. I lived in South Korea for a year (visited North Korea for about 3 minutes one a border patrol... ssshhhhhh). England, Okinawa, Japan, France, and of course with the Gulf War I was all over the Middle East. Iraq, Saudi Arabia and a small country I can't remember the name of.
Of course if you follow the comic and blog you know about my recent stay in Mexico.
I'm not real fond of traveling unless I can stay in one place for a long period and really get to know it. I feel like I really have a feel for South Korea and Saudi Arabia. The rest of the places were fleeting visits which are a pain in the ass (as all travel is and has always been) and not of much interest to me.
Like people who take a week or two and go on a cruise or to Europe. I would not really be interested in a trip like that. I see something like that as a waste of time and money. I'd rather make my life where I have to be more comfortable.
Since I've traveled so much I have way too many stories about foreign countries to relate and because I was in my teens when I started and early twenties when I came home I was a very bad boy and most of my stories (and all the really good ones) are not appropriate for young ladies (or anybody really).
I hope you have fun on your trip. Europe tends to have a much more liberal bend to it's version of "History." That is not to say that they are incorrect. History as it is said is written by the victors and Europe has been winning victories for a couple milennia so it's good to keep in mind whenever they are making someone currently in power sound bad or imperialistic that it is and has always been part of thier cycle to tear down those in control. They also do it to alleviate thier own guilt for the blood on thier own ancestors hands. As I recall I heard a lot of that crap in Germany. A lot of revisionist history and mitigation.
Don't let it get you down. Common knowledge is just that; common. They don't know for sure if what they are saying is right any more than we do. Video recording has only been a round for a couple decades. Without convincing video I don't believe much of anything anyone says about history. I tend to take it as anecdotal and try and learn from the lesson the "author" is trying to relate. But for Pete's sake don't buy into it either. I've seen kids come back from there with the whole "America is evil" syndrome and believe me the people who wind them up get a great deal of pleasure over thier naievete. America is no worse than any other country that has dominated the world in the past and if history is even a little bit correct, a good deal better.
I cannot imagine anything more dense and boring than German Philosophy. Just the thought makes my intellectual sphincter tighten up. Kant? Kierkegaard (yes I know he was Danish but still shares the same ideas)? Nietzsche? I mean, these guys were the titans of modern philosophy but personally I prefer the more basic stuff from Socrates, Plato, Montesque and Locke. The German school was always to abstruse for me (oooh vocabulary word of the day woot!) and the inclusion of the failed ideas of Karl Marx makes them all seem a little foolish in thier arrogance.
Not that Marx intended to send the world off goose stepping to an oppression party but serioulsy if you cannot recognize that no matter how good a party you have, in the human race, someone will always come along and steal the good booze, as many shrimp as they can fit in thier pockets and piss in the punch bowl just to reassure themselves of thier own superiority then you know diddly about mankind.
Anyway. I hope you have a great trip. I hope you still come by when you aren't busy eating all that great sausage. I love it. The beer is disgusting but then I don't like any beer so it's no wonder I wouldn't like a warm syrup like beer.
