a GIS for "sea slug" is an explosion of color

Conan's "Horny Manatee" sketch is the last time I giggled uncontrollably at that show.

that cucumber reminds me of the radish dude in spirited away.

My National Geographic Wildlife Treasury cards really stuck with me.

The elusive dim sum octopus

On examination, I realize that they weren't a NG product at all. I just always thought they were.

the dumbo octopus lead me to look for dumbo rats on craigslist & there's someone who has babies that will be ready after labor day...hmmmm.

the dumbo octopus would make a bad pet, since it lives at depths of about 1000-1500 feet. You would need a very special tank.

mostly i want to take it out on a leash so i guess i'd be a horrible owner.

Jordan, we're doing the gig at the Beer Fest. One of the other dancers went to UW-Madison and used to know someone in your band. But she also couldn't remember his name, so I'm guessing they aren't that close.

Haha. Cool, I'll see you guys on Saturday then. I think we play 2 - 4 but I'm going at noon for the, you know, unlimited free microbrews.

did you hear the one about the president of the Young Repulican National Federation?

sorry, they changed the url.

Colorado is nice. Wish it was cooler though.

I swear I almost fell off a mountain.

City slicker.

yeah really

What area of the state are you guys in, Jeff?

Jeff?

Seriously, is there still a Jenny?

Weird, www.ilxor.com wasn't working for me this morning. But I got in through ilx.wh3rd.net.

THAT IS SO FUCKING BIZARRE!

Hi Nick.

When are you guys getting back?

John, when is that bike trip? Or I am getting trips confused? Am I trippin'?

My weird: I dropped my Netflix in the mailbox at 11:30 yesterday morning and today at 7 AM I had a notice in my email that they had received the DVD! That never happens! Wow!

The one in Wisconsin? It's Labor Day weekend. It's not so much a bike trip as a weekend trip to a place where there are some bike trails, which we plan to use at least one of the days we are there. And the lodging is above a bike shop. But I am hoping we can also visit the New Glarus Brewery, the Mustard Museum, etc.

Guess where Nick and I are going for ROAD TRIP 2007?!!?

CLEVELAND?!?!?!

NOPE!!!

TOLEDO??!!?!?!?!?!?

No.

omgomgomgomg AKRON?!?!!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!?

IOWA CITY?!?!!?!?

US Virgin Islands?

Lechera is much closer.
Hint: It's IN ILLINOIS!

A road trip to the Virgin Islands is a recipe for disaster and sogginess.

EVANSTON?!!?!?!??!!??!?!?!!??!?!?!

Hint: None of you will be able to guess the correct answer.

Chenoa, Illinois?

Jaymc, I would go to all this mustard museum.

The answer is here. We're waiting until October when it will be a little nicer.

Starved Rock is grebt. I actually thought of that first when you mentioned the trip (only because my mom and step-dad just went a couple weeks ago).
