Actually I'm not sure if he and I have ever been in the same room with a chilli dog. Not really my thing. I think he's just a wacko. Almost artistic in his absurdity.That was very thoughtful of him!

I had chili dogs Sunday night for dinner. Slaw dogs, technically. Awesome. Stuff.
Not sure if I should laugh, or be sad!

I'm gonna start doing movie reviews. Seems like what this world needs is a comprehensive movie review with a skewed view of reality. I think that reviewer could be me. Let's face it. We can't just sit around watching plants grow.... we can watch dumb ass movies too.
Tonight's tale of terror is Killer Klowns from Outer Space.
This is a classic for me. First shown in 1988, the draw for me was the sound track by The Dickies. The Dickies are a fairly prolific, silly punk band that I listened to when my best friend was a skateboard.
The movie starts out with an annoying scene with a ice cream truck trying to sling frosty refreshments at lovers lane to teenagers that have their interests in their partners pocket. A meteor flies overhead and crashes close by.
As you can imagine, very unusual clowns are coming from the crash site, which now looks like a giant circus tent. They turn up in town and people go missing. The clowns are turning folks into bundles of cotton candy for a snack later on. In the end the hero cop pops the main clown's nose with his badge then stows away in a clown car as the tent takes off and heads for deep space.
As limp as this review is its Nobel prize winning compared to the ridiculous bullshit that eminates from the screen. This movie is fuuucking stuuupid... but I love it. The clown costumes are really awesome, definitely worth a costume contest. The acting is worse than the writing, thankfully this movie isnt long. If you slip down some stairs and wind up in traction you have to see this movie!
If you like punk music the soundtrack is pretty good. As I said the Dickies are silly, real silly. With song titles like "Stukkas Over Disneyland" and "Stuck in a Pagoda With Tricia Toyota" they even do a cover of "Nights in White Satin" at twice the normal speed. These songs arent in the soundtrack but easy enough to find. They are on par with the Aquabats, Super Zeros, etc.

Pla ts are doing well. I trimmed a bunch of smaller shoots that popped up on the lower part of the branches. This strain doesnt stretch much so my tucking is over I think. I'll untuck the branches that are just under the next string so the tops have room to be all they can be. It's about time to quit fucking with this one and let it do its thing.
The closet plant is doing well. You can see this one stretch a little. It's still nothing like it would be with a hybrid or sativa.
These plants are just under 2 weeks in flower. I'll start a light PK booster at the end of next week. I'm gonna use Hula Bloom from Grow More. I haven't used it before, but I dig Grow More as a nutrient company. Like a lot of the their product line Hula Bloom is a dry additive. I have been thinking of switching from the Gen Hydro trio nutes to their base nutes.

Another slightly retarded movie review...
Tonight I'm going to review my favorite movie of all time. The Hudsucker Proxy. It's not very well known so no judgement if you haven't heard of it. This is a Cohen brothers flick... the same guys that brought you Fargo, and O Brother Where Art Thou among other films.
There are some pretty big actors in this one including Paul Newman, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Tim Robbins, Steve Buschemy, there are also appearances from Anna Nicole Smith, and Bruce Cambell among others.
The story starts with Norville Barnes (Tim Robbins) getting off a bus in New York. He's a cockeyed optimist hoping to make his fortune. In the big city. After looking around he sees all jobs are requiring experience. In a series of nondescript actions, karma strikes and Norville finds an ad for personnel at Hudsucker Industries. He hires in as a mail clerk. On his first day as Norville enters the building for the first time... the President of Hudsucker jumps out of his office window and does a face plant on 42nd street.
Norville has dreams... He has an invention idea "for kids" and can't wait to show his drawing of the item to whomever will listen. Invariably these lucky individuals give a blank stare and look to see if he's joking.
The drawing is just a pencil drawn circle, with no other detail as his invention is the Hula Hoop.
Norville works hard but the mailroom is a sharltank and no place for stragglers. He is tasked with delivery of a very important letter to the Vice President. While doing so he sees his chance to peddle his invention idea to the big guy. The VP and board have made plans to depress the company stock so they can afford to buy Mr Hudsuckers stock for cheap, but he needs a fucking moron to come in and make bad decisions. Well this lanky mail clerk with his ridiculous drawing will be perfect! Norville is made president.
The drawing goes to production, and sold to toy stores. The new item initially depresses the stock as the VP planned, but soon children decide they can't live without it and the Hula Hoop becomes wildly popular.
Amy Archer (Jennifer Jason Liegh) thinks she smells a story about Norville and befriends him. She writes all sorts of shittiness about him in her paper, but he has no clue who she really is. Over time she starts to like our boy, but the VP finds out who she is and fires Norville. He's pretty upset about all this and decides to go to his office and jump out the window. On the way down he's stopped midair by the ghost of Mr. Hudsucker "The Hud" himself. Mr Hudsucker is a little pissed about Norville not delivering his letter to the VP, and makes him read it. Turns out the VP and board were asked to pick Mr. Huds replacement, which they did, Norville. Armed with the letter he gets his job back and started another invention idea... "for kids"
Theres a ton of nuance to this movie. lots of montagues, and side stories, like the moment the children decide the Hula Hoop is the next big thing. And, the fight between the "good" janitor and the "evil" maintenance guy is pretty cleavor.
I'm a big fan of Cohen Bros. movies usually. The Big Lebowski, Raising Arizona, Intolerable Cruelty.. all great. They have a way of making you feel sorry for their retarded victim. Ironically this movie is playing on HBO right now. Run... dont walk, to your DVR and record this bitch. Long Live The HUD!
Since this is my favorite movie, I give it 9 out of 5 bong hits... let's face it. If you're gonna take 5 hits you might as well take 9

It takes balls to walk around town in this. Balls that are quite oblivious since they are clearly on display for EVERYONE to see. I carefully positioned the camera when I took this picture to keep my G rating.
This is the newest version of the mighty Red Rider. BBs are for girls to shoot their eyes out. Pellets are where it's at for Christmas these days
His weren't nearly that cool! LMAO! Did have a fluffy pink tail on a butt-flap though.
BBS are for tag lol. Is that a 32mm scope on their too? Looks like a slick little plinker. I need to get the kiddo her first one next year. She's doing good with her how, her little brother is slowly catching on. I need to spend more time on it with them. Putting a bow range in one side of the basement for us eventually.

No. No butt flap OR bunny feet like the movie.
Yeah this one isnt really for kids. It's an Evanix Marauder Carbine, 22 caliber semi auto. I should have bought a nice hunting rifle instead.
A bow range in the basement would be a blast. You could play "horse" like in basketball. You could call your shot... " stuffed bunny in the forehead from behind the wetbar" can you imagine how popular you would become with all the drunken neighbors?
My grandpa has had one forever, we had one at Mom's when we were kids, small basement restricted it later. Dad's got one in the barn. Figured I need one too haha.
I like your version better than my idea though gonna change it up a bit now lol.
Nice .22 that's fun. Big ole pellet.
