Fun With Vocabulary

Jo took the last swig of her apple jack and bashed it over Sarah's head. The two were feuding over the divinity of Jesus Christ, Sarah is an evangelist while Jo is a socinian. They came to an impasse when Sarah stated "You can't believe in the bible and not in Jesus, it's just nuts,". Sarah was knocked out cold, and some guy who called himself Freddie took advantage of her right there on the bar floor. Some might have called Jo's actions dirty pool, but to her this was an act of jihad. All this sudden action caused Jo to undergo an emesis. "Damn Apple Jack," she cried as she ran out of the bar. Jo felt like a butte with her obscure religious views. However, she believed that she knew better than all the American evangelicals and tagged a ride on a lime juicer headed back to England. Sure she would have to endure a lot of sea men on her way to the mother country, but at least she would no longer be persecuted for her faith.

Cooper Vs. Eagle

There's an eagle sitting on a branch of a pine tree right out side my office this afternoon. I was informed of his presence shortly after coming back from lunch(I used a coupon that Grandma B had given me for a free roast beef at Arby's).

Its just sitting there calmly, swaying in the breeze. From inside, I took a picture with my cell phone. I got so close to it, if it weren't for the glass I think that it might have come at me and pecked my face off. I've never been so intimidated and awed by a bird before.

I sent my sister the photo in a text message. Its a low quality photo, but it'll get the job done.

I then remembered a debate I had earlier with her over whether or not a hawk could swoop up our useless shiatsu Cooper. Often I find him wondering alone in the middle of a field, and think to my self, "he's easy pick'n". Cooper is the most defenseless dog I've ever met, I can't even get him to bite. So if an eagle like the one outside were to attack, there would be nothing for him to do.

Maybe its my fault as his master for not training him to defend himself. However, Cooper has one thing going for him. He's fat. That extra weight will make it harder for predators to lift him off the ground. Also, the excess blubber will protect his internal organs from being punctured by the eagle's talons.

Thankfully Cooper is safe inside the house right now.
