Thanks DailyOtter

I want to live in Das Otterhaus

2011-10-13T10:00:00.000-07:00

When you see the words "Das Otterhaus," you would most likely assume that this is a German site dedicated to otters...but...nope.....it's from Japan. Who knew otters were so big (as in famous...not in size) over there? I thought we were doing pretty good here in California with Monterey Bay and all..but after going thru this site (probably WAY too often), I now think Japan wins this one.

Anyhoo. This guy's website (http://blog.kohan-studio.com/) has some of the best otter pics ever. Do yourself a favor and bookmark his page. Here are just a few samples of his retardedly cute otter images:

Grandparent Scams are creepy....and REAL

2010-10-14T16:16:00.000-07:00

So, while visiting my grandma today with my brother, my grandma received a phone call from an unknown number.

The caller on the phone said, "Hi, Grandma Lucey?"

She responded "yes".

Then he continued, "this is your favorite grandson," and started to talk about something about Canada.

My grandma kept repeating, "who is this?" to which the caller would just repeat "your favorite grandson!"

My grandma knew he was lying because of all days, her Grandson was actually sitting right in front of her in her living room.....and that is exactly what she told the man on the phone who then proceeded to hang up.

This is called the Grandparent Scam (<---click here to read more) and I actually heard about this on the Today show months ago. This is when telephone schemers take advantage of seniors' emotional ties to grandchildren, by pretending to be them and then try to steal money from them.

And I witnessed it today, first hand, at my Grandma's......Thank god she is a sharp one and was able to tell right off the bat that she did not recognize the voice. But some other Grandparents may easily fall for this sick sick trick.

Pass this on to any old folks you love.

Raphael is cool but crude (Gimme a break!)

2010-09-03T12:44:00.000-07:00

(too bad until I google searched how to spell Raphael....I always thought they said "Cool but RUDE".....wow....my world has just been turned upside down.)

Just found the concert set list of their "Coming out of Their Shell" Tour that was sponsored by Pizza Hut:

"Coming Out of Our Shells!"
"Sing About It"
"Tubin'"
"Skipping Stones"
"Pizza Power"
"Walk Straight"
"No Treaties"
"Cowabunga"
"April Ballad"
"Count on Us"

Donatello on keyboards. Leonardo played bass guitar. Raphael was on drums & sax (DUH--no wonder he was my favorite. Anyone who knows me knows I play a mean air sax---that's what she said) and Michelangelo played guitar.

Who the hell?

2010-05-05T15:57:00.000-07:00

Anyone who knows me, knows that I love blended drinks and if I could, I would drink everything blended or with shaved ice. Not sure why I never thought about buying one of these things before, but hello??? A shaved ice machine for 39 bucks, yes please.

I was going to buy one of these since I loved them as a kid and they were just recently re-released but then I thought about how much work it is to crank that little wheel in the back to get aDixie cup size worth of ice....it would take me days to make one margaritas.

So i guess I will get the grown up version which is also ELECTRIC. I only wish the grown-up version came with the snow shovel scooper and nasty red colored flavoring....but I can't really be picky now can I?

Happy Cinco de Mayo

When you order, the pizza cone builder pulls your filling combo from a salad bar–like counter (reminded me of one of those new froyo places) and mixes it all in a bowl, shredded cheese, veggies, meat, and all.)

Dream a little Dream

2010-01-14T10:38:00.000-08:00

Last night in my dream, I ate ice cream that looked like this. Except it was a huge HUGE sheet of these sort of cubes---like back of a pick up truck big. And there were tons of layers and each layer was a new color aka a new flavor. And the cubes were really tiny...like the size of a pencil eraser and were colored and all sides. I had to scoop them up with a shovel (like a small gardening one) to eat them. And when I scooped them- they would sorta break off from the other cubes and fall....

Oh and I was also swimming with Paris Hilton and some dude, who "was my boyfriend" but who actually looked like the guy who got Kortney Kardashian prego (ew) all while wrestling alligators in murky gross water. PS> this all took place at an amusement park with my aunts and uncles.

Heard it thru the Grapevine....Xmas style

2009-12-21T14:19:00.001-08:00

I used to be....how do you say?.....a little obsessed with the California Raisins. Not sure if it's because I am from California, or the fact that one dude plays a mean saxophone...but regardless, I love the little guys. I even had California Raisin slippers...which basically looked like big pieces of poo on my feet. So when they came out with a Claymation Xmas special...I pretty much lost my mind.

And ever since I watched it...I always say "Here we come a "WAFFELING" and people look at me like I am nuts....but here is proof in the pudding that I am not THAT crazy:

Also...their version of "we three kings" is pretty damn funky. I Here it is.....I also used to sing this all funky when I would hear it on the radio years later, and I could not figure out why I always wanted to "break it down" when I would listen to it, but once again....watch the video and you will figure out why:

But this one probably takes the cake:

I have the same sorta feeling like when I first searched "John Travolta" on Ebay years ago. Holy schnikes. This site has so much dope stuff....homemade/ vintage....nutzo. I searched bacon, otters and devo and almost had a heart attack......)

Draft Text Messages

2009-11-18T10:00:00.000-08:00

These are all real draft text messages from my cell phone that were somehow, for some reason or another, never actually sent. Enjoy....and don't worry...I have no idea what half of them mean either. Also...note-these are all exactly typed as they appear on my phone. I changed nothing. Too bad my draft message folder does not record the time or date at which these were created. That would probably help us understand what I was trying to say at least a little bit more.....or so one would think. Anyhoo...here ya go:

"at the show"

"Um. Yeah. That was me this morning. Cant wait to get back there"

"What is ladybug in german"

October is National Pizza Month

2009-10-21T09:53:00.000-07:00

Wow....am I late to the game or what? And I am a little ashamed and pretty embarrassed that I am just NOW on Oct 21., realizing that October is National Pizza Month. Well, this guy obviously loves pizza more than I do because he has a website called 31 Days of Pizza (<-----click). Check it out. This lucky son of a gun is going to a different pizza place each day of the month. What an awesome idea. Some may say that they would get sick of pizza 31 days in a row. But this little lady would have to disagree. To me....that sounds like heaven on earth. Damn it. Well. I guess I do have 10 days left. Better late than never! I think I know what's for dinner tonight (and tomorrow and the next day and the next....)

Creepy Crawlies in Golden Gate Park

2009-10-15T10:27:00.000-07:00

So yesterday as I was walking T-Mac around Golden Gate Park, I came upon the weirdest thing I haven ever seen coming crawling out of the bushes. No...it was not a creepy bum. That would not be that weird for this park. No....it was not one of the cute lil' squirrels or ducks that T-Mac loves to chase...Nope...none of those either.

So I was walking right by Stow lake and was thinking about how much I like this quiet little path by the water, when I looked down and saw this nasty looking “weird red/ lobster/ crayfish/ scorpion” thing. It was crawling away from the bushes and up onto the path I was walking on.

I was like "HOLY!!!!! AHHHHHH!"

I froze.

It froze.

Despite me going "T-mac look..look...LOOK" while pulling his leash towards the little creature assuming that he would start barking or something. T-Mac did not even see it. He just kept glancing right over it and looked at me like WTF? - But the little weird red/ lobster/ crayfish/ scorpion still got freaked out by my big dog so it rocked back on its tail and raised its pincers in the air. It was at least 6 inches from tip of the tail to its head. It looked like something out of a discovery channel pre-historic documentary show or something. It was freaking WEIRD. And of course, T-Mac, the dog, STILL did not even see it. I picked up a stick to see if this lobster/ scorpion would pinch it with its pincers but it wouldn't. It just sat there balancing- ready to pounce on us.

So since T-Mac obviously didn't care about the creepy thing, we just left it there, looking all creepy with its antennae twitching around- being gross and me pretty weirded out. I came home and tried to explain what I saw to my roommate- what that little creature looked like and how it balanced on its tail and I sounded like a crazy person. Especially the part about it looking like a red lobster since lobsters only turn red AFTER you cook them. So I decided to google it to figure out what it was. I was having a hard time finding stuff using the terms "red/ lobster/ crayfish/ scorpion" but then I finally came up on this posting. It's good to know that I am NOT crazy and that other people have seen the same little weird creature. I just hope to not see another one. Not really my bag.

Oh dear god...how could I choose? Welp....we all know who some of the top runners are: obviously baby otters, baby seals, baby pandas and polar bears. But man, I forgot at how cute baby lion cub (loungin below or the red panda cub in the 2nd pic.) Okay. So check out the link above from the NY Daily News which has 101 Pics of baby animals. Trust me- totally worth going through all 101 (except #101.....eh.....just my opinion!!) You can probably get through all of them pretty fast unlike me who spent at least 10 minutes looking at this site. This was due to the fact that I had to stop and go all goo-goo gah-gah over pretty much every picture except the last one (yuck) and some weird monkeys who look like dogs in weird tribal costumes (see #65.) Wonder what freak gave the OK for those pics to be included....who knows? They obviously did NOT ask me for my opinion...I can think of plenty of other animals that are way cuter....um..how about a baby squirrel? or lets see...a baby koala maybe? It's really NOT that hard

pretty damn cute huh?

I couldn't if I tried

Pizza Flavored Beer?.......Say Whaaaat?

2009-07-22T16:52:00.000-07:00

Pizza in Beer......or pizza flavored beer...whadeva...It's called "Mamma Mia! Pizza beer" and it comes out of Glendale, Wisconsin.

It was invented by Illinois restaurateurs Tom and Athena Seefurth, who took traditional beer ingredients (malted barley, hops, yeast, water) to traditional pizza makings (tomatoes, oregano, basil, garlic and a wheat pie crust). The golden ale is filtered to remove any crumbs and seeds, but the spicy, fresh-baked aroma remains. So does the overpowering flavor of oregano, basil and garlic.

yada yada yada....looks like I need to go to Pizza Port in San Diego soon to try this SOB.

I was just saying this morning how I can't remember the last time I went out to breakfast...which means it has been WAY too long. And now seeing this picture, even though I am not a huge waffle fan, anything involving syrup and bacon is pretty much TITS in my book. So yeah...breakfast- at a restaurant, with endless cups of coffee and bacon will be happening this weekend..no ifs ands or BUTTS (ewwww)

Man...this really makes me wanna play GUESS WHO?

It always sucked when you got either:

a.) a girl (because there were like 4 total or something so you were pretty much doomed from the get-go to LOSE!

b.) a person wearing a hat

c.) a bald dude

d.) a red head (welp....because ....do I really need to say it?)

I loved to flick the little flappy things down with my middle fingers sorta like I was a librarian or something. I probably did it slowly too...sorta like I was sorta through important stuff and probably played with Lee press on nails too at some point while makin a sorta fishy face as I scan the rows looking for heads to flick down. This is also one of those games that I thought I was "good" at which is basically bullshit when you really think about it, right? I mean, this game really does not take much skill. Since when does asking the "Do you have a mustache?" qualify as a skill?

"I was always dreaming about very powerful people, dictators and things like that. I was just always impressed by people who could be remembered for hundreds of years, or even, like Jesus, be for thousands of years remembered."

- Arnold Schrwarzenegger

Then how do you explain what happened in July 1991 when you decided to make this crazy deal:

"The $1.25 million agreement between Schwarzenegger and "Pumping Iron" director George Butler allowed the star to "destroy any and all portion thereof" of the film and 90 hours of additional footage as well as still photographs owned by Butler that Schwarzenegger considered "embarrassing" or which might "reflect negatively" on the actor's "professional or private life." (Check out the Film Purchase Agreement for yourself at the Smoking Gun.)

Crazy right?

SO WHY WOULD YOU EVEN WANT TO CONSIDER DESTROYING THE FILM DUDE? YOU COULD BE LIKE JESUS, AND BE REMEMBERED FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS REMEMBERED.

Besides John Travolta, Corey Feldman, Christian Slater and Danny from the New Kids on the Block, one of my childhood crushes was the one and only KTVU-Channel 2 News Anchor, Dennis Richmond. Not really sure why- but you can't help who you fall for!! I remember being super young and watching TV and then the boring ass news would come on and there HE would be.... sitting next to that Leslie Griffith (pre-plastic surgery Leslie Griffith with her weird blond up-do...probably some gross french twist or something.) I remember feelin almost like paralyzed by his handsomeness. I assume most girls my age did not have the same reaction to this man as I did.

I never knew much about Dennis Richmond. I mean- to be honest- when I told people I thought he was hot, I often said Dennis Rodman instead of Richmond on accident.

Pretty much all I knew about the guy was that he lived in Oakland and I was told that he was a big smoker and worked out a bunch (all about balance, right?) But other than being hot, having a great voice and looking like he probably gives good hugs...he was pretty much a mystery to me.

Unfortunately- after 32 years he retired and is no longer on the air so I don't get to see him on TV anymore. I guess I could get all stalkarazzi like and google Image search him all day long or whenever I need a fix but I don't. (not until today!!)

But lucky me....while searching for camping articles, I came across this little gem: KTVU-Anchor Transition without a Hiccup. Turns out Dennis Richmond has a HICCUP PROBLEM and had one the entire time he was on air. WTF? Not only that.....he LIMPS from a paralyzed left ankle. I mean...hold the phone!! My mind is blown....I mean....I ...I still love the guy (obviously...gray hair and all) but um...hello? you could have informed me of this like....hmmm..let's see....mmmm....20 years ago!!!

Don't worry Michael....

....Sorry for the Coitus Interruptus.....

(you would think that being unemployed would allow me to keep this bad boy updated with new awesome and obviously ridiculously funny posts but somehow I have been pretty much uninspired which means no bloggy blog. But I got the bug again- so be prepared to laugh your butts off....cause Quack attack is back Jack!)

BACON BEER PIZZA and BABY OTTERS: the most updated and raddest blog EVER! Keeyah!!!

Once again....Bacon makes something great...even better!

Yes, my friends...that is Bacon Flavored Pancakes. I am not a huge pancake fan but when I do eat them- I love to drench them and pretty much everything else on my plate (ex: bacon, eggs, sausage....) with a massive amount of syrup. (weird....Courtney using an excessive amount of a condiment on her food??? no..that can't be!) I can't wait to try these bad boys....who is down for some flap jacks? Eat my shorts IHOP. You ain't got nuttin on these.

Oh yeah...haha...this dude even has 5 different flavors of BACON JERKY including Jalapeno and some Tomato/ BLT flavor! Wah wah wee wah. Check out the description from the website....try not to wet yourself:

"The best part about Bacon Jerky in comparison to regular bacon is that when you cook bacon, the aroma floats through the air calling out to those around you to come and get it which means that you have to share. With Bacon Jerky it’s ready to eat the second you want it! "

Um....if that is not a little piece of heaven then I don't know what is. check out this rad blog that is responsible for all this porky product goodness: Bacon is Meat Candy

Stoned Little Kid After Dentist Visit - Watch more Free Videos
I really wonder what sorta procedure this kid had that required the dentist to use so much drugs that he got so f'd up. I love hearing peoples stories of how weird they got after they had their wisdom teeth taken out. After I woke up from getting my wisdom teeth out- i was ALL weird when they woke me up. When they tried to assist me with walking and help me lay down afterwards- I swear I almost decked out one of the nurses. ..i was like DON'T TOUCH ME...i am FINE. Meanwhile- my friend told me he woke up and said he got up and like hugged the entire nursing staff and doctor. Another buddy said he asked his mom if she wanted him to drive, because he was not used to being wasted in front of his parents. When they were putting my sister under for her wisdom teeth she told the nurses "I am just gonna close my eyes- but you guys can keep talking. I am totally still listening. I am just shutting my eyes." They were probably like...sure honey....Totally like shit you say at a sleep over when you are totally falling asleep !! Oh man- but the funny thing is...is that we were all probably like 19 years old at the time that we dealt with all that. This poor kid is like what..7 years old?? Ha Ha Ha....oh man. Party On!

Kinda Creepy.....

Matthew 26:27

Amen Brutha. Um....so..supposedly this is on Haight and Masonic...I literally live like one block away from this...I am gonna go investigate and see if this truly exists. If they offered bacon and beer at church- I just might go attend Sunday mass more often then I do now...which is basically never!

I used to pound the "blood of Christ" as a kid. I think i was the only one in my family who would go for it. After eating the little wafer/ communion/necco wafer/ Styrofoam tasting thingy..I would get in the wine line and wait my turn with my hands folded all weird (you have to fold them in some weird way- all cupped and I can never remember how....I don't think anybody really knows how and everyone just pretends to know.) Then some fellow church person- probably an oldie- would hold up the goblet (which they would just wipe with a hankie and turn after the person before me- probably another oldie- just took a sip of wine aka "blood" from it....sorta not sanitary at all...but whatevs.....free wine is free wine...especially when you are like 9 years old!!) So they hold it up and say BLOOD OF CHRIST and i would say AMEN....and then take the big ol cup, tilt my head back and just gulp!! They would usually have to pull the cup away! Whatever...I am just getting my moneys worth I guess. Then I would just walk back to my aisle to hook back up with the rest of my family (sans Dad since "he didn't believe in god" ---no FAIR!!) and pretend to pray and/ or bug my siblings...ususally a combo of both!

It's not even a question of what I am gonna watch tonight!

2009-01-21T09:56:00.000-08:00

For some people- especially those without DVR (losers), tonight could be a night of personal struggle. A night of filled with a wrenching internal debate of what do! An evening ruined by constantly going back and forth about which show to watch. "Do I watch the Season Premier of LOST or Restaurant Wars on Top Chef?" This is all sorta like the earlier episodes of LOST "Do I push the button or NOT?"

What to do? What to choose? Puh-leeeese.....Gonna be honest...I am not excited one bit for the season premier of LOST tonight. Kinda don't give a hoot. I used to be the biggest die hard LOST fan (check previous postings from years past) but now....duck don't give a F*ck. I couldn't even make it through last season. So sorry Charlie.

The choice is easy for me... So..Sorry Tailies....Sorry all you "front people on the plane" and sorry to all the random new people from that boat (not really- you were all pretty annoying)...this girl is gonna watch Top Chef.

I am actually pretty damn excited for mutha f'in RESTAURANT WARS on Top Chef though...KEE YAH! My friends and I have a running bet going. We chose who we thought would win TOP CHEF (not who we wanted to win...totally different) and whoever LOSES has to take the winning team out to dinner to the restaurant of their choice! The cheftestant doesn't necessarily have to win the show- it's just whoever makes it on the show the longest! Let's meet the teams:

Team Stefan: Courtney and Johnny
Although he is a total dick (I mean...cock) we think he just might win the title of Top Chef. I hate him..but he just might get me a free meal.

Team Fabio: Schroeder and Rachel
I think they both just had a boner for his little Italian accent at first. But pretty boy ain't looking too hot lately! Sorry pasta boy!

The funny thing is, is that none of really want either of these two dudes to win. We all sorta want Hosea to win but we picked these guys from the start so we are stickin with them. Not too many episodes left.....Johnny and I better start thinking about where we want to go.....

Do you ever do something, and then think to yourself: That's So Raven?
-Zack Galifinackis

In all seriousness- I secretly do kinda like her show. I mean...it's not like I watch it religiously every week- or like I DVR it or anything (there really is no need because its on so often otherwise I would toy with the idea of recording it). I haven't had a chance to watch the show in a while but when I was living in the mission with my sister, I definitely caught a few too many Saturday mornings on the couch or in my bed, with Devo in my lap, watching That's So Raven on Disney-legitimately laughing pretty hard and all joking aside....enjoying myself. I mean...the chickie babe's got psychic powers and the show can be pretty damn funny. I guess it's sorta reminds me of Out of this World from back in the day- except for the fact that Evie Ethel Garland was way hotter than Raven....obviously!

I'm just being honest here...knock it if you want. But believe you me...if you give it a chance and actually sit down and watch a full episode--you will find yourself laughing at some point...I mean..yes...Her parents are annoying- and so is her red headed friend, Chelsea (although she is pretty hot now that she lost some weight--which I think she just passed onto Raven and the rest of the cast who have all gotten progressively heavier with each season...have you seen her little brother lately? Probably not because most of you who read this aren't prepubescent girls who watch the Disney channel on Saturday mornings at 9 am...but trust me...he is a big boy now!---scratch that...bigger boy!) Anyhoo....I am just sayin, I am just putting all my cards on the table and saying it loudly and proudly- I LIKE THAT'S SO RAVEN! (oh and Suite Life with Zack and Cody which usually comes on right after is pretty good too...what???)

Give me Five....

World's Oldest Woman Credits Longevity to Crispy Bacon

2009-01-15T11:21:00.000-08:00

Gertrude Baines lives in Los Angeles, loves bacon, and at 114 years old is now the oldest person in the world. She credits her longevity to “religious faith, doing the right thing and the occasional piece of crispy bacon“.

Damn...if this is true...I am gonna live to be like at least 150 years old! Booyahkasha

Rave in the Henge

2009-01-08T16:05:00.000-08:00

Check out this article Stonehenge: One totally awesome rave location. According to this article:

"Stonehenge was built as a dance arena for prehistoric "samba-style" raves, according to a study of the acoustics of the 5,000-year-old stone circle."

Not really down for the "samba-style" rave (hippie bullshit) but would be down to get my dance on to GOOD techno at Stonehenge for sure.......wait....this looks sorta scary...i guess people DO do it already......

If you know me- you know I love me some drum machines- especially the old classics like Dr. Rhythms and the TR-909 (obviously). So you can pretty much imagine how totally floored I was when I saw this.......Like I need one more reason to buy an iPhone.

Why are tag-alongs so damn good? I mean...don't get me wrong, this girl loves a good thin mint but they basically taste like grasshoppers which you can buy year round at any grocery store. But tag-a-longs...the most amazing chocolaty peanut buttery little pieces of heaven that only come once a year from those angels in green sent from God...those are the bomb diggady. And they get even better if you freeze them. My new year's resolution this year is to attempt to make a Tag-ALong Smores...jesus..i am a frickin GENIUS!! Why hadn't I thought of that before? I have done pb on graham crackers- caramelo and graham crackers-pb and digestives (British cookie) and even used Reeses candy bar in place of the normal Hershey bar..but to use a Tag-along would be frickin out of control.

Okay...so now all I can think about are god damn smores. Jesus. Is it camping season yet? I may just have to make some ghetto smores at home on the stove top tonight. I wish my keyboard looked like this right now:

New York Food Group #2: Pizza

2008-12-26T11:15:00.000-08:00

There is a bar in Williamsburg that gives you afree pizza with every beer you order...I know, heaven on earth, right?

For some reason, the pizza below cost us 14 dollars for 3 slices and a beer...but it was almost 2 am and we were hungry so we didn't care....and it was good....really good.

New York Food Group #1: Pork

2008-12-22T15:10:00.000-08:00

I just got back from 5 awesome days in New York and in typical Courtney fashion, a good portion....no...lets be honest..the majority of my trip was focused around the phrase, "what am I going to eat next?" There is so much yummy food everywhere you go--it can be really overwhelming and not to mention expensive. But I think I did pretty well. There really is nothing that I didn't get to eat (besides "street meat" from a Halal truck) that I am bummed about missing. So I think I did pretty good for just bein in the city for 5 days. So now- after looking back at the pics from my trip, after all the yummy meals I had, I realized that the most of the cuisine I ate fall into four major food groups (well..."5" that we will use for all the other things that don't fit any where else). My New York food groups are as follows:

1. Pork/Sausage/Hot Dog

2. Pizza

3. Cupcakes

4. Kahlua

5. other

Food Group #1: Pork/ Sausage/ Hot Dog:

BACON WARNING: I started almost everyday out with a bacon, egg and cheese bagel (often dippin it hot wing sauce which later busted open in my purse--yes, i carried the container of hot sauce in my purse all day...and so I then stank of wings all day! I wasnt complaining although I dont think the people on the subway very much enjoyed the smell of hot sauce on the crowded trains but whatever.) I even ordered bacon/ cheddar cream cheese to add to one of these bagels but the "bacon" was actually more like bacon bits which was a little disappointing but still good nonetheless...I also had breakfast at a place called EGG in Williamsburg and had candied bacon. I had never tried this before but once my plate arrived I realized that it was essentially bacon that is cooked with maple syrup on it and I like to drown my bacon in syrup sometimes anyhoo so I wasnt that floored by it...still flippin good though. Bacon is always good. (no pic...too freakin cold that day to even think about busting out the camera) I also had some awesome bacon on one of the best burgers ever at Bar89 but once again...no pic... Here are the pork pics I do have:

Gray's Papaya Hot Dog.... wasn't too big of a fan...they were alright...Ian ended up eating the second half mine. I think we deteremined it was the sauerkraut that tasted funky.

Stella's Italian sausage. I asked for nachos cheese on mine.

It was pretty damn good and then a pigeon literally landed on my sausage so I had to toss it.

We had a dinner party at their apartment and Ian made pulled pork sandos.....
