I've often wondered what became of Los Insectos.
I hope they didn't sell their catalog to Michael Jackson.

Los Insectos - La Trampa
Como te lo digo, andaba deprimido
a veces camino como un zombi dormido
para donde yo miro todo esta podrido,
para donde yo miro no tiene sentido.
Y vuelvo y te lo digo, andaba deprimido
a veces camino como un zombi dormido,
que mierda caminar esta puta ciudad,
muerta de matar esta puta ciudad.
Zombis y muertos se acaba tu tiempo(x3)
zombis y muertos tu tiempo se acaba.
Sigue tu camino, no te metas conmigo,
ten en cuenta que...casi somos enemigos
ten en cuenta que...
Que mierda caminar esta puta ciudad,
muerta de matar, esta puta cuidad.
Zombis y muertos se acaba tu tiempo(x3)
zombis y muertos tu tiempo se acaba

Roobish, lad. I'm totally serious here. :0)
Have some fish eggs, bro.

This is from last summer. Too bad it's such a mediocre effort, but it shows what the county's northern edge looks like out by my big brother "Shorty" Mike's place (he's only 6'1" and can't jam or even lieback worth a dang, I'm sure).
This shows about halfway through the video the Crocker-Huffman Dam, the lowest along this dammed river.
Exchequer Dam, then McSwain Dam, then the Merced Falls Dam, and finally this one, all of six to eight feet tall. You could "dunk" here, Big Mike!!!!
I did not know they were collecting sturgeon out there, however.
That dam backs the river up about two miles, on past the yard at Mike's, to the first riffles, then it gets a kind of steep run to the base of the MF Dam.
Below that dam, in the race below the spillway, is where some VERY LARGE TROUT end up. But they are spread all along this stretch, along with salmon in season, and them big old sturgeons.
There are predominately rainbows here, but there are the predatory browns, too. It used to be there were lots of brookies, but not many now.
It's all just so much cat chow, though.

And the trout jumped over the moon.And thrills.

I think this explains most, if not all, of the problems around here.
Chimps outsmart humans at simple strategy game
Quote Here
Having more complex cognitive reasoning skills doesn't necessarily make you better at simple tasks, a new study has found. When it comes to outwitting the competition, the chimpanzee seems to be smarter than a human.
See what I mean.
Basically there is a very simple situation that becomes complex and could be returned to normalcy by having more chimps participating on the forum.
zBrown remember to email cMac on this.

Meanwhile, a bit further up the so-called evolutionary ladder,
in a place RIGHT UNDER YOUR FEET,
but LONG AGO.
MEET THE ROCKSTONES
Chip Rockstone
Shaka, his wife
Cobbles, their way-above-average daughter
Excuse Me, their klutzy pet giant gecko
His pal, Al O’Soreass
Al’s gal Ooma, short for Oomamamama
Gangbam, their “sweet angel child”
Mr. Gneiss, their boss at the wheel works
Mrs. Gneiss, his former secretary
Miss Greystone, his present secretary
Buster Butts, Shaka’s way-below-average younger brother,
and the local LEO/law enforcement officer, as he describes himself
I could tell you a little bit about him.
He lives alone in a trailer.
He has his grave already dug out back.
He has barely enough in his world to keep him living.
He walks the line.
He likes to be in motion, but just barely.
“Get out of the way!”
Buster up and jumped a foot and came down with his hand slapping leather. His throwing stick was in his hand and cranked back to throw as quickly as anyone could have done it.
“Freeze right there!” he shouted, but it came out like, “Fees white ai-yah.” Buster’s tongue was partially bitten off way back in his youth. He got involved in a misbegotten sabre-tooth cat-herding operation dreamed up by his late father, Duster.
Now Duster would have been proud of his boy, except he couldn’t pronounce the letter ‘r.” Duster’s fame with the stick was widely known and respected. Buster could put the eyes out on a cave bear at sixty paces and still almost outrun the blind sucker. He was a cool shot, but his speed on his feet was in a totally different realm.
He seemed to move twice as much as Shaka, his older sister, or any of his friends, in order to go anywhere or to do anything. It annoyed most people, so he spent most of his time alone and was used to doing so.
He was so slow on his feet that some days you’d swear he was going backwards, even.
Which is why the sabre-tooth cat-herding venture was so painful and so forth. Cats are nothing if not very fast and cunning.
But Buster Butt’s immediate concern was with the persons still coming toward him, in spite of his threat with the throwing stick.
There were just two people, not many at all.
And he knew them both well.
One was his niece, Cobbles, and the other was her neighbor, the local screw-up, Gangbam O’Soreass.
Buster knew that the kid’s heart was in the right place, but all the same, the boy was quickly digging his own grave, and Buster knew graves. He moonlighted digging holes for dead bodies.
That boy had tombstones for eyes.
“What’s the trouble, Officer?” said Gangbam, smiling and smirking slightly. “What did you say?”
Buster repeated his warning in a mushy monotone, adding “Punk...” under his breath.
“Take it easy, G,” said Cobbles. “The cat’s got his tongue.”
Buster’s eyes crossed, his nostrils flared, and he screamed at her as he fired,
“You have no style o gace!”
She closed her eyes and gave up hope.
They buried her in the hole in back of the trailer.
No trouble at all.
Buster has not been seen.
It is rumored that he dug a hole to the center of the earth.
No one bothered to look hard for him.
Actually, nothing was done.
Buster probably moved faster than he’d moved in his whole dreary life.
“No time to begin another story now.”
Have a pleasant stay above ground.
And leave the cat be!

Did you have a rough weekend?
Looking forward to a few zzzz'z in yur cubicle?
Smile!!!!!
Remember, a day without sunshine is like...night.
But there is no justice and yer gonna die!
They call this Stormy Monday,
But Tuesday's dust is bad.
It's the words that make me feel blue,
But I remember what fun we had.
Yep. Every day should be Monday.
That way nobody can complain about the day of the week...

I wonder if ferretlegger can do that well dancing the ferret trot?
Susan, does he even know there is a dance associated with his icon?
If you notice your ferret bouncing off the walls, leaping from one piece of furniture to another, and seemingly going a hundred miles an hour, don’t be alarmed. Your ferret is doing what is referred to as the “dance for joy.” “This is a direct result of an animal having so much joy and energy that it cannot be contained,” Faulkner said. “And they don’t know exactly what to do with themselves, and this is how it comes out.” The very hyper movement is often accompanied by vocalizations that sound a lot like a human laugh.
