I love this item.  I had a Star Wars themed birthday when I was four.  I wish these had been around.  I would have loved ice cubes shaped like Han Solo in carbonite. 

A few months ago I wrote about the Jedi Church some guys founded in England.  I made a smart ass comment as I usually do about the Church of the Sith.  I wasn’t far off the mark.  It seems members were dueling with lightsabers when some drunk fool yelling “Darth Vader” attacked them.  I knew the sith would eventually reveal themselves.  It was being videoed so you can see it for yourself.

When I was younger a friend and I decided to take a trip to see as many as the Disney parks as we could.  We started with Walt Disney World.  We spent a five days there.  Upon arriving home we started planning our next trip.  We were going to Disneyland Paris.  I had never been to Europe but I had my passport and I bought a French/English dictionary.  We boarded the plane and we were off to France.  We spent three days there and found a decent flight to California.  In California we hit Disneyland and California Adventure.  It was a great summer and we were able to hit the parks in the U.S. and Europe.  We did not make it to Tokyo and HonkKong Disneyland wasn’t around then.  I have been thinking of doing it again.  I think I want to start with the Asia parks so I guess I need dust off the passport and research some flights to Hong Kong to check out the cost.

Suffering Bastard.  A great drink.  Unless you have a few too many.  Then in the morning you will feel like the name of this drink.

A teacher in Florida performs a magic trick where he makes a match disappear. Faster than you can say “Abracadabra” he is fired being accused of wizardry. Now he is worried that he won’t get any future jobs. If he can’t find another job in Florida there is always Hogwarts.

Necrophobia- the fear of dying and of the dead

Claustrophobia- the fear of small confined spaces

Arachnophobia- the fear of spiders

Emetophobia- the fear of vomit

All of these are valid fears.  A few days ago I was out the fair and came across these and they were terrifying.  If you suffer from Coulrophobia you might want to stay away from these.

Fairs don’t have just fried food.  They have delicious hot beef sundaes.  It is a concoction of mashed potatos, cheese and sliced roast beef.   I couldn’t bring myself to try one. 

I don’t Dragon Boat Race.  I don’t know anyone who Dragon Boat races.  I don’t even know where you would look to find a Dragon Boat to race.  I feel a little left out because Florida is apparently a Dragon Boat Racing hotspot.  So much so that Disney is having Dragon Boat Racing in October.  Who knew?

In the United States if you find a four leaf clover you consider yourself lucky. In India you have to make your own luck. One lucky ritual has you throw your baby off a 50 foot tower. if you threw a baby off a 50 foot tower you would go to jail.  In India it means it is time to party.

With all of the news about the crazy weather I thought it might be good for everyone to know their odds of dying at the hands of mother nature.
