Poop Happens



Over at A Long Way From Om, Ginny discusses her reluctance to pick up the “doggie bombs” on her lawn.

Ginny needs a company like A-1 Pooper Scoopin’.

You might say it’s a crap job. Diane Blanchard is a professional pooper-scooper. She makes a living picking up after people’s pets.

The snow in Calgary, Alberta can really pile up so Diane has her work cut out for her. But she has an eye for excrement and can spot a frozen "poopsicle" even under a blanket of snow.

Diane guarantees her work. If she misses a doggy deposit in your yard, she’ll return to pick it up. She’s number 1 in the number 2 business.

So if you’re sick of patrolling your pooch’s poop, see if there’s a poop scooping service in your area. Look in the Yellow Pages under ‘Pet Care Services.’

In other dog poop developments, Make Your Own Dog Waste Composter.

The Vancouver Island marmot is a uniquely Canadian species, found only on Vancouver Island in British Columbia.

Sadly, a population estimated in the mid-1980s to be over 300 animals is currently estimated to contain just over 150 animals, making them one of the rarest and most endangered mammals in the world.

When you join the Adopt-a-Marmot Club, you help protect the endangered Vancouver Island marmot every day of the year.

The Naked Cowboy



What comes to mind when you think of New York City? The Statue of Liberty? The Empire State Building? The Naked Cowboy?

Clad only in a hat, cowboy boots and briefs, the Naked Cowboy lights up Times Square. Rain or shine, he poses for photos with passers-by, making as much as $1,000 a day.

I had a bare empty apartment, with mirrors on every wall. I owned a spoon, a knife, a fork, a bed, a guitar and thirty-six pairs of underwear. I have an overwhelming fascination with being the center of attention. What would you have done?

Enjoy this panorama of the Times Square crowd gathered around the Naked Cowboy.


Coconut Orchestra



Guinness World Record™ officials certified that 1,789 people participated in the “World’s Largest Coconut Orchestra.”

Patrons and visiting fans of the Broadway musical Spamalot were given free coconuts and asked to clop along to a rendition of “Always Look on the Bright Side of Life.”

Christopher Sieber, who stars in the show, explained the use of the clacking coconuts: "Originally when they did the movie (Monty Python and the Holy Grail) they couldn't afford horses.”

“Always Look on the Bright Side of Life” (from The Life of Brian) is guaranteed to cheer me up on a bad day. Turn on your speakers and join me in a singalong.

Infomaniac’s favourite bit of the song…
Life's a piece of shit
When you look at it
Life's a laugh and death's a joke, it's true.
You'll see it's all a show
Keep 'em laughing as you go
Just remember that the last laugh is on you.
And always look on the bright side of life...
Always look on the right side of life...
(Come on guys, cheer up!)

Buck Owens


Buck Owens and his Buckaroos


Ever walked the streets of Bakersfield? Country music legend Buck Owens walked those streets, played its honky-tonks and popularized the “Bakersfield Sound.”

Buck died Saturday, March 25 at his home in Bakersfield, California. He was 76.

Watch as Owens fan Dwight Yoakam teams up with Buck in 1988 for a duet on “The Streets of Bakersfield.”

‘Streets of Bakersfield’ by Buck Owens

I came here looking for somethin'
I couldn't find anywhere else
Hey I’m not trying to be nobody,
I just want a chance to be myself.

I've spent a thousand miles of thumbin',
Yes I've worn blisters on my heels
Trying to find me something better
Here on the streets of Bakersfield.

Chorus:
Yeah you don't know me but you don't like me,
You say you care less how I feel
But how many of you that sit and judge me
Ever walked the streets of Bakersfield?

(instrumental)

Spent some time in San Francisco,
I spent a night there in the can
They threw this drunk man in my jail cell,
I took fifteen dollars from that man.

Left him my watch and my old house keys,
Don't want folks thinking that I'd steal
Then I thanked him as I was leaving,
And I headed out for Bakersfield.

Chorus:
Yeah you don't know me but you don't like me,
You say you care less how I feel
But how many of you that sit and judge me
Ever walked the streets of Bakersfield?

(Repeat chorus)

How many of you that sit and judge me
Ever walked the streets of Bakersfield?
