Quotes Out of Context 2

Sometimes quotes taken out of context are really funny... or just plain confusing.
This round of QOOC has a game involved in it. For each quote, you are encouraged to leave a comment with your guess on where the quote(s) came from. In my next post I'll give the answers and display the names of a) the winners and b) the ppl with the most creative answer, even if it's not true.
And so...

1. "I would imagine the problem of irresponsible cobra ownership is pretty much self-correcting."

2. "Oh man! My legs hurt like the war of 1812!"

3. "Do you know what that sound was?"
"That was... an insane man, pulling the hair out of a baboon's back."
"No, that was a blender."

4. "Hey guys, how long do you think a brief description is?"

Vee Oh Tea Eee!

To all of my brethren who find themselves waking up most days in the Dominion of Canada:
I call upon thee to march to the polls tomorrow (the 23rd day of January) and make thy mark. If you don't vote cause you were too lazy or ignorant, then don't complain (and educate thyself). If you don't vote cause you think it's useless, futile, or the system is corrupt, then register a rejected ballot (see below) and go into the community and make a difference, and make our democracy less useless, less futile, and less corrupt.
That is all.
revolution what's to come!
dazz.

PS - to register a "rejected ballot": goto your polling station, get your ballot. Hand it back and say that it's a rejected ballot. The person in charge will cross your name off the voting list because you received your ballot, and your ballot will be registered officially as a "rejected ballot". Political parties do pay attention to this data.

Lock Mother Nature Away

For this post you need to know two things:
a) I live in Canada (in London, Ontario to be exact)
b) It snows in Canada (except for Vancouver. Vancity rocks and I'm moving there later)
So, winter this year has been weird in terms of weather. It has snowed a few times and we've gotten a couple mini-blizzards, but for the most part (especially since the New Year) there hasn't been snow on the ground for more than 2 days. And occasionally it'll get really warm (for January in Canada). Basically it's been alternating between being damn cold (with or without snow) and being mild spring bust-out-the-Tshirt weather (again, with or without snow); so I'm starting to think Mother Nature is going crazy like she's smoked too much opium (or breathed in too much pollution/emissions).

Yesterday and today's weather solidified this suspicion. Yesterday it's suddenly real cold again and the winds are blowing around on overdrive and we get a whole bunch of snow all at once. A little unexpected, but hey, it is January in Canada after all. Then today when I get ready to head out of the house for the day I bust out my thick winter gloves that I hadn't needed for a bit. As I step outside, bracing myself for the cold, I suddenly realize that there's not a cloud in the sky, sun is shining, and it's really warmish out. The snow's all melting and I take off my winter coat while waiting for the bus. The sun is giving me that "Ahhhh, sun! :D" warmth on my skin.
Yesterday it was a freezing cold blizzard and the very next day it's suddenly spring. That doesn't happen in January. And for this final straw I am convinced that Mother Nature needs to be locked away in the crazy house.

PS - If Mother Nature is locked away, who would take over control of the weather?
PPS - Who the hell blogs about the WEATHER!??!

Such a PS that it's put separate from the other PS's - The pope is still a pansy and that blog post is still coming. It's simpler than you think. Webster helped me.

Martin Luther King Jr. Day

Yay! Google likes Martin Luther King Jr. too! My only question is why Canada doesn't have a holiday for the civil rights leader as well? It makes me sad.

I'll make a blog post with some [more] content later this week, but until then here is a pictorial manifestation of nerdular nerdance, boredom, and spare parts.

Calvin and Hobbes Snowman Art

I am a big fan of Bill Watterson's Calvin and Hobbes comic strip that ran for about 10 years in the 1980's and 1990's and have a nice little collection of the published books in my bedroom. One of my favo[u]rite segments of the comic is when Calvin goes outside during the winter and makes snowmen. But for anybody that knows what this kid Calvin is like, they know that his snow sculpture are rather... creative to say the least.
Anyways, I've stumbled across a webpage that contains many of the snowman art comic strips all on one page. It brought me great joy to reminisce and read all of these at once; and yes I will share the love with you! (pops open in a new window)
However, now that I'm inspired, it's a shame that all the snow in my city is melting. There isn't even enough to reproduce the following... (click both pics to enlarge)
