"HERO my ass"! "STUPID"! Croc story #2

SYDNEY (Reuters) - An Australian grandmother who saved a friend from the jaws of a crocodile by jumping on the giant reptile's back has been awarded Australia's highest civilian bravery award.

Alicia Sorohan was awarded the Star of Courage after risking her life to save a friend who was dragged from his tent by the crocodile during a camping trip in the remote far north of tropical Queensland state in October 2004.

Then 60, Sorohan jumped on the 4.2 m (14 feet) crocodile's back as it dragged him from a tent while the man's horrified wife tried to both pull him free and protect their baby.
The crocodile then turned on Sorohan and almost tore off her arm before her son shot and killed it. "The first thing you think of was just jump on it and try to pull it off," Sorohan told Australian Broadcasting Corp. radio after the awards list was announced Monday.

"My son came around, he saw me actually jump on the crocodile and he shot it, but it hung on to my arm," she said.
"I just couldn't get away and you think, 'Oh, there's my time up'," said Sorohan, from the Queensland capital Brisbane.
Sorohan said she finds "crocs" fascinating and has since returned to their favorite camping spot, which she calls "paradise."

Crocodiles number in the tens of thousands across northern Australia and have killed about a dozen people over the past 20 years.

You know, I guess, under the circumstances, you do just about anything. However, do not get taken by a 14' crocodile around me! You will certainly be in a world of hurt. Read my lips, "I am NOT jumping on the back of ANYTHING 14 feet long with a mouth full of teeth"! That includes crocs, gators, anacondas, pythons and, last but not least, GREAT WHITE SHARKS! Listen, I might look and sound like I'm crazy, but, when it comes to shit like this, I am NOT one of the STUPID PEOPLE! Hero my ass! Not in this life.

"I'm Stupid", Crocodile agrees, Horse is pissed..

JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) - Pieter Abrahamse has an original excuse for a lost wedding ring: a crocodile ate it, along with the arm it was attached to.
"He took my wedding ring, I suppose he ate it up," Abrahamse told Reuters by telephone from his hospital Monday as he recounted his life-or-death struggle with a man-eating reptile.
The 47-year-old farm manager had the lower part of his left arm torn off in the attack last Thursday on a citrus plantation in South Africa's northern Limpopo province.

But he's counting his blessings as he could easily have lost his life.
"I took my horse for an evening swim in one of the farm dams. There are lots of crocs and hippos in the area but they move around all the time, from dam to dam and into the river and out again," he said.

"I was on the lookout for hippos and didn't see any. It slipped my mind that there might be crocodiles," he said.

He was standing belly-deep in water about 5 metres from the shore when he felt a biting jolt in his left hip. He said he thought it was a hippo but quickly realized it was a crocodile.
"I started to fight immediately. So I hit him with my left arm and then he went for my left forearm," Abrahamse said.
"It pulled me under the water for a few seconds and I knew this was his biggest advantage. I realized if I didn't stand up my wife will never find me again," he said.
Somehow, he managed to stumble to his feet and then he felt the crocodile lose its grip.
"What I didn't realize at the time was that it had let go because it had taken part of my left arm off," he said.

With his right arm, Abrahamse then grabbed the rope of his horse, which fortunately for him chose that moment to take flight, dragging him to safety.

Abrahamse then walked 200 metres to his house and his wife drove him 60 kms (40 miles) to the nearest hospital.

"I'm lucky, I didn't lose too much blood ... The biggest problem with a croc bite is it can be septic. They never brush their teeth," said Abrahamse.
And when he gets out of the hospital does he plan to look for the culprit? "Oh yes, I'll be looking for him alright," he said with a laugh.

See, this is a prime example of why this site exist. Why would you take your horse for any kind of swim in a body of water infested with crocs and hippos? And especially at night when most predators feed? Obviously, this dumbass lives there and should know better. But nooooo, and then, this idiot laughs about it. I am actually pissed at the croc for not finishing the job and ridding us of one more Stupid People. And the horse, horse should have kicked his ass for putting him in that situation.

High Definition Flat Panel TV

Quite a few people are making BIG mistakes when purchasing the new technology of hi-def flat panel tv. The biggest mistake people are making is NOT knowing what the hell you are doing. Mainly because you have not done your research. Trust me, there is a lot of stuff to know about this technology. Some of you are paying way to much for these tv's. If you knew what you were doing, you would NOT be buying based on name, but, on specs and the technology and PRICE. Something else you might want to chew on; there is NO such thing at the present time as a high definition dvd player; the majority of your dvd movies are NOT shot in high def; all tv stations DO NOT broadcast in high def, only a select few at present; the ones that do broadcast in high def DO NOT deliver high def if the source is not.HDTV Magazine - Your Guide to High Definition Television This link will school you on everything you need to know about high def tv. Products: ÖLEVIA LCD TVs This link will give you a good choice for a flat panel high def tv. This is the make that I own. It is an incredible television! And, significantly less expensive than some of the so called "name brands".

In closing, get out there and enjoy todays technology! However, "know what the hell you are doing and don't throw away good money because, you do not want to be one of the "Stupid People".

Nazis and MY MONEY!

That's right, Nazis, wasting our money! Today, Feb. 25, 2006, this ignorant dirtbag Nazis group paraded their ignorance through the Parramore neighborhood of downtown Orlando, Fl. as described in a previous posting. The strategy, according to city leaders etc., was to ignore these geeks and let them go away. Yeah, good plan. There was so much news coverage and talk on the street, that, everybody in Central Florida knew about this. Way to go leaders! That worked real well! So, since everybody and their momma knew about this, that meant there would more than likely be a confrontation! Big freaking surprise! Which also meant that there would be a need for a significant law enforcement presence. And bigger than shit, there was! You had your basic police presence, your swat team people, folks with riot gear etc., people with armor and m-16's or m-1's or whatever, motorcycle cops, horse back cops. You would have thought we were waiting on the "mother ship" from the movie Independence Day.

This, leads to my point. Or rather, my question that I already know the answer to. Who the f--k is paying for all this fire power etc? Yeah, I know, YOU & Me! Now I know all about the right to freedom of speech and the amendments and such, however, where is it written that I have to pay to protect these assholes? And please, don't tell me that the taxpayer is NOT picking up this nut. Look, let people have their marches and rallies and speeches and such, but, make them be responsible for their own damn security. If they can't provide that, then NO GATHERING! I have an even better idea. Put scum like this in the Citrus Bowl with the people they are rallying against and let them just get it on with each other. The expense to clean up the bodies and garbage would probably be alot less. Plus, we would be rid of some of this kind of trash. To borrow a line from the Orlando Sentinel's Mike Bianchi on the radio show "Keepin' Score", "If I were King", that is the way it would be. It truly blows my mind that government can't legally figure out a way to get around this kind of counter productive bullshit!

Oh well, just goes to show you, more STUPID PEOPLE!

David Gilmour:New music, New website!

I just ran up on this and wanted to pass it along to all the folks I know that are fans as I am. The great David Gilmour, of Pink Floyd fame, has a brand new album/cd coming out March 6, 2006! The name of the new work is "On An Island". David also has his own site nowDavid Gilmour Official Site. If you go to the site, you can get all kinds of cool info. Plus, upcoming tour dates. YES, David will be doing a live tour in conjunction with the new album. David has also been crowned best Stratocaster guitar player. Usurping Jimi Hendrix with that title. That is a major accomplishment. However, not totally surprising. All of you Floyd/Gilmour fans know what I am talking about.

Hey, enjoy the site and check out the cd March 6. So far, there are NO Florida tour dates, hopefully though, that will change. If so, I will let you know asap!

"I Have A Dream" , hmm, I Have REALITY!

Martin Luther King Jr. was a great man with a great dream and plan which I totally subscribed to. Hell, I even walked in some of his marches. Let there be no misunderstanding about my feelings and respect for this great man

Before I set this page on fire, let me layout my qualifications to voice my opinions, observations, and, experiences for what I speak. I was born of multi racial parents. At a time when this was not cool. My mother of German/Italian descent. My father of Black/Cherokee Indian descent. I was born in Washington Heights New York. Between Harlem and the Bronx. I grew up in the ghetto, all black neighborhoods, and white suburbia. All black schooling thru the 6th grade. One of only 4 blacks in high school in Levittown, NJ. I have spent my entire life on "both" sides of the tracks. In other words, I have seen all the bs from every view point. And then some. I was born at the very beginning of the baby boomer era. Which means that I have been here long enough to know of what I speak.

Let's get busy! In todays(Feb. 23,2006)Orlando Sentinel newspaper, there was a story about a planned "neo-Nazis" march this Saturday in the Paramore District of Orlando. Which, for those of you that do not know, is a predominantly black area. Basically, the article more or less stressed that "city leaders", local police, and some community leaders and church leaders feel the best way to deal with this is to "ignore them, don't give them any attention". Sure, that'll work! Excuse me, but weren't YOU giving them attention by printing this article front page? Okay, let's hide this from everyone. Meantime, Saturday comes and the march is on. You did such a great job of hiding this that, the group of brothers coming down the street run smack into it. "Say man, what's this shit"? "Who these white dudes in the hood with this nazis klan looking bullshit"? Then, guess what, it's on!

Now, on the other side of the fence, one of our state senators wants to "have a prayer meeting and march" along side of the nazis. That ought to work. Maybe they could even hold hands and goose step. I have a better novel idea. Why don't we just let both sides do their thing whatever it is. If the neo nazis get jacked up, well, they knew they were going into hostile territory. If the brothers decide to do violence towards these people, then they are giving them exactly what they want. Ignorance and savagery. Which would just prove that they are all "stupid people".

Now, lets get to the "this will really piss some of you off" stuff. From what I understand, the nazis march is to show, how much crime, is race based. Unfortunately, these "dirt bags" are on to something to a degree. Although the black community in this neck of the woods comprises about 14% of the population, what, about 75-85% of the prison population is black. Don't need to be a rocket scientist to figure out that most of the crime is commited by the brothers. Oh, I know, "it's whitey's fault somehow". "We don't get the oppurtunities for good education or good jobs like others". "We are treated like second class citizens and have to live by different standards than others". Having discussed this whole episode with a black attorney from Chicago, and, a white business man from Orlando, the answer is; bullshit! As the attorney said, "if this were the case, I would not be a well paid influential lawyer". Nor would there be any black ceo's, successful business owners etc. The white business man added a similar observation. "It's not a matter of not having the same oppurtunities, it's a matter of using them and working hard to attain what you want". "Right now, the unemployment rate around here is 3 point something". "There are jobs and oppurtunities all over the place". "If you are not taking advantage of that, it's because you are lazy and don't want to work". "You would rather ride your bicycle around the neighborhood selling dope". "That's on you, NOT whitey".

Both of the gentleman I spoke with agreed on the same point. There is NO strong, commited and dedicated, black leadership. The limited leadership that is there, basically panders to the same old beliefs that the government should take care of us and tend to our needs. There is no need for us to do for ourselves. They owe us! With that mentality, it is never going to change. Black folks will be perpetually spinning in their tracks standing still. Waiting for the mail man to bring the check. If that's where you are, then you are but 1 of the "STUPID PEOPLE".

Get a job, get a career, get an education, bust your ass, and, HAVE A GREAT LIFE!

Godzilla Rules!

10 Reasons Why YOU Should Not Go To The AIRPORT!

1)You don't know how to drive worth a crap!
2)You don't know how to read!
3)You don't know how to read English!
4)You have poor vision and can't focus on the signage!
5)You are color blind and can't distinguish "orange" from "green"!
6)You do not know the difference between "arrivals" and "departures"!
7)You have NO idea what airline you are looking for!
8)You are not sure you are even at the correct airport!
9)You may run off the road into the retention pond and get attacked by the resident gator!
10)You are one of the "STUPID PEOPLE"!

These 10 reasons are aimed specifically at Orlando International Airport. However, I am sure they could probably fit a great number of airports these days.

By the way, the picture was taken Feb. 16, 2006 by me. And, I named the gator Jet . Animals rule!

My buddy, my 4 legged son! Akua

Since the movie "8 Below" comes out this week, I figured I would show off my husky. Say hello to "Akua" Though he is a full blooded Siberian Husky, he was born in Tampa, Florida and knows nothing about snow and all the crap that comes with it. Hell, since the water in the pool cooled off for the winter, he doesn't even go for a swim anymore. He loves to swim, but, not in cold water. Dog is no dummy!

If you get the chance, check out the movie. Based on a real story. And if you can get away with it, take your dog to see it also.

If you have some husky, or, just pet lovers, please feel free to let them know about my blog/site for pictures and animal stories. Remember," animals rule, people are stupid!"

If you think you might like to welcome a husky to your family, check outSHRF Dog House. This is where you need to look. NOT A PET STORE! On behalf of all Siberians, thank you!

Water for Dummies?!

What's So Special About Bottled Water?

According to a Beverage Marketing Corporation survey, about 40%
of us regularly buy bottled drinking water--$4.9 billion worth
last year. We asked the top sellers to reveal mineral content,
source and average price (all but the Canadian company Aberfoyle
complied), then had a professional water taster sip and tell.
None have significant amounts of fluoride (bad news for your
teeth). Dr. Joshua Barzilay, author of The Water We Drink, says
a calcium content greater than 50mg could be beneficial, but
"other than that, unless your immune system is weak, I don't
think bottled water offers you much health advantage over tap
water." For those on a sodium-restricted diet, stick to waters
with less than 20mg per liter. If European trends are any
indicator, an order for oxygen-enhanced, calcium-enriched water
with your lunch is not far off.

If you notice, 2 of the more popular brands of bottled water come from "the municipal water supply." That's nice! Not to mention, 1 of these 2 brands, Dasani, is the 2nd most expensive! Now, I know this is the Stupid People blog, however, some of you have gone past "stupid" to "idiot" if you are paying(on average)$1.32 for bottled water from the municipal water supply that has NO calcium and you can get from your tap for free. The top 3 are: Evian, Dannon, and, Zephyrhills. Me, I prefer green tea. Sobe or Arizona.

Sex!! Oh yeah........

Sex: who's happy, who's not..

SEOUL (Reuters) - Married South Korean women are the least happy with their sex lives, Japanese men are the most likely to try and dodge a certain sex problem and French men are the most fond of their frolicking, according to a recent survey.

The survey released this week by the pharmaceutical firm Eli Lilly and Co., one of the makers of the anti-impotence drug Cialis, of 1,200 married men and women in South Korea, Japan, France and the United States also found the French had the best sex lives followed by the Americans.
Lilly Korea said the findings would be released globally next week ahead of Valentine's Day.

Fewer than one in three South Korean women said they were at least "slightly happy" about sex with their husbands, which was the lowest of the four groups of women.
About half the South Korean men, however, said they were satisfied in bed with their wives.

"Not often enough" topped the list of complaints by men in all four countries while the main complaint of wives was not enough romance.

Fewer than one in three Japanese men said they would seek help for erectile dysfunction, which was the lowest among the four groups of men, the survey said.

Fewer than one in 10 French men had any complaints about sex, which was also the lowest.

Okay, so, now we know why Americans hate the French so much. They have better sex lives than most of you. I say "you", because, mine is excellent. Poor South Korean women, what's up with that? And Japanese men, how's that work? Your stuff is malfunctioning and you are not going to try to do anything about it? Japanese woman, "we make love tonight papa san?" Japanese man, "oh, so sorry mama san, dicky no worky anymore, me watch Gojira."

Oh well, have a nice Valentines Day! If your lucky, you might get to do the wild thang! If not, remember, we are "STUPID PEOPLE!"

Super Bowl Observations Etc.

Congratulations to the Pittsburgh Steelers, Super Bowl Champs! Bowl winners 21-10 over the Seahawks. Also, congrats to the Rolling Stones who showed they can still kick some rock n' roll ass at 60 plus. Even though their show was less than super, it still rocked! Speaking of the musical part of the Super Bowl, who the hell was running the sound and mixing board? The vocal mics were not mixed worth a damn for the Stones, Aretha or, Stevie Wonders set. Piss poor job on the vocal audio mixing.

As for the Super Bowl ads. I loved the Fedex ad with the t-Rex and the cavemen. That was great! Also, the Full Throttle energy drink ads were cool. Right now, I am ready to buy a new Escalade based on their adds. And of course, all the Budweiser ads rocked. The ad with the baby Clydesdale was really good also. Block Buster could have saved some money by NOT running their ad for movies delivered to your door. It will take 27000 years to recoup your money based on this new service you are adding.

Super Bowl food this go around consisted of Bubaloos Bodacious BBQ and all the fixings. Plus, tried something new. The wings from Pizza Huts new Wingstreet. Did the honey bbq and the teriyaki wings. Not bad! Weren't the best I have had, but, will do again. Also had an assorted cheese cake platter from Publix. Killer cheese cake!

I also had the privilege of watching the game on HDTV. What a difference. It is ironic that after the game, I got on line and ran up on a story about how uninformed the general public is about high def digital tv. So, I am including a couple of web sites you can go to that will tell you everything you could possibly want to know about high def wide screen digital tv. If your going to buy one, you need to know this stuff!Ultimate TV buying guide - HDTV World - CNET.com HDTV Magazine - Your Guide to High Definition Television These 2 sites will tell you everything you need to be aware of. If you still mess up, well, "your a STUPID PEOPLE"!

Hey, don't be bashful, post a comment or, forward this to a friend, or, better yet, email me.

Broke Back Mountain...Why??

Listen, this post is NOT about homosexuality! It is more of a fact finding curiosity posting. With all the hoopla surrounding this movie, I have, what I think is a fair question. And the question is:Unless you are gay, why would you go to see "Broke Back Mountain"? Now granted, if this movie was about 2 women, we know that the straight guys would be there in full force

As I said, this is not about the gay lifestyle, or, a put down on it. I simply want to know why straights would go to this movie.

Please, post your comments below or, email me.

Thanx,

My prescription and 12,000 cookies please?

AMSTERDAM (Reuters) - The Dutch city of Groningen looks set to open the Netherlands' first pharmacy totally dedicated to providing high quality cannabis for pain relief at affordable prices, a newspaper reported Wednesday.
Although cannabis is readily available in Dutch coffee shops, the foundation for Medicinal Cannabis Netherlands, a support group for patients, intends launching a pharmacy in the northern Dutch city so people can have access to high-grade cannabis for medical use, the daily NRC Handelsblad said.
Groningen city council member Fleur Woudstra, who supports the cannabis pharmacy, told the paper that while pot may be cheaper in coffee shops -- usually around 10 euros ($12) for the equivalent of 3 or 4 joints -- quality often suffers.
The Office of Medicinal Cannabis, a Dutch government agency, and the community of Groningen as well as the local police back the idea and a site has been chosen. It was not immediately clear just when the pharmacy would open for business.
Two more cannabis pharmacies are planned in the towns of Hoogezand and Assen, the paper said.

When is this country going to get hip and up to date? Pass the joint.
