Mario and his shrooms

I discovered (read rediscovered) Zac Gorman’s Magical Game Time. It is pretty good and I enjoy the animations he puts into his comics. Then I came accross this one: http://magicalgametime.com/post/10992740895/i-think-i-finally-realized-the-moral-of-super

I passed it on to Crackhead McDopehead. He is not as chatty and insightful as Nelson Muntz and the second conversation I had with him so I thought I’d share a few things I picked up.

(12:37:50 PM) TvZ: http://magicalgametime.com/post/10992740895/i-think-i-finally-realized-the-moral-of-super
(12:38:45 PM) Crackhead McDopehead: unfortunately there’s no blocks i can headbutt which spew out coins
(12:38:53 PM) TvZ: I finally get super mario!
(12:39:00 PM) TvZ: it’s not about what makes you happy
(12:39:37 PM) TvZ: it is about a plumber down in the dumps because he works on toilets the whole day. so he eats some shrooms and starts “dreaming”
(12:40:14 PM) Crackhead McDopehead: that’s pretty deep
(12:40:19 PM) TvZ: the good shrooms though
(12:40:20 PM) TvZ: as in hallucinogens
(12:40:31 PM) Crackhead McDopehead: pity all his wet dreams = princess is in the other castle
(12:40:38 PM) TvZ: exactly
(12:40:52 PM) TvZ: where will a plumber ever get a princess
(12:40:55 PM) TvZ: seriously
(12:41:00 PM) TvZ: who thought this shit up
(12:41:05 PM) TvZ: must have been on shrooms as well
(12:41:14 PM) Crackhead McDopehead: most likely

What happens when

One of my friends posted a question regarding the essence that would make up the meaning of life. I thought I’d share that question with Nelson Muntz:

(1:49:30 PM) TvZ: where’s a question for you:
What happens when Pinocchio says, ‘My nose will grow now’?
(2:18:03 PM) Nelson Muntz: his nose explodes from the confusion
(2:18:22 PM) TvZ: yip. my thought was null pointer exception or devision by zero error
(2:36:37 PM) TvZ: GOT IT!
(2:37:03 PM) TvZ: He becomes a undead-half-boy-half-wood
(2:39:19 PM) Nelson Muntz: lol what?

(2:39:42 PM) TvZ: http://weirdgalaxy.com/gallery/The_Horror_Of_Pinocchio.jpg

 

Hitting with a what?

Conversations tend to switch topic quite quickly as I get easily bored.

This is a recent conversation I had with someone.

I’ve cut out the last bit for obvious reasons.

Crackhead McDopehead: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aXV-yaFmQNk&feature=player_embedded
TvZ: Call it BS. That is just a kid with a book. She actually handles the book better than the iPad. the fact that she turns pages shows it is pretty normal
Crackhead McDopehead: yeah
Crackhead McDopehead: it’s not like the kid knows what she’s doing with the ipad
Crackhead McDopehead: just random colours moving around for her
Crackhead McDopehead: but i’ve been recommended that videos like 3-4 times already
TvZ: really….that is sad friends you have then
Crackhead McDopehead: yeah, they are all rude bastards
Crackhead McDopehead: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CiVlAevviq8&feature=shareinsane, need sound, probably better when no one is watching behind you…
TvZ: she is pretty insane
TvZ: I struggle with one instrument
Crackhead McDopehead: yeah
Crackhead McDopehead: the song she was playing was made famous by this group of 12 girls playing classical instruments to modern music..
Crackhead McDopehead: she did it by playing it alone.
TvZ: what do you mean the song was made famous by 12 girls playing classical music?
TvZ: Most parts of it was classical music
TvZ: so made famous by the dude who wrote it
Crackhead McDopehead: to the my culture
TvZ: ah right
Crackhead McDopehead: we are not cultured to classical music
TvZ: pfft…get up to speed with the times ..geez
TvZ: welcome to the 18th century
Crackhead McDopehead: slow down
TvZ: knew I knew the original
TvZ: Mozart, Symphony no 40. written in 1788
Crackhead McDopehead: ah.. that dude
TvZ: that one
TvZ: minus the electronic keyboard and the thingy with too many strings
Crackhead McDopehead: he’s shit, that other guy was better
TvZ: beethoven?
Crackhead McDopehead: yeah, that dude that can’t hear…
TvZ: well both can’t hear a thing since they are both dead
TvZ: makes it rather difficult
Crackhead McDopehead: sh!t.. had no idea
TvZ: yip. They are pretty inferior to me, not being able to live past 200 years…pfft
Crackhead McDopehead: yeah, but no one wants to listen to the music you create..
Crackhead McDopehead: it involves bed creaking and (add person you don’t like) screaming..
TvZ: you are thinking way too much about  (add person you don’t like)…. a bit scary too say the least.  You must be missing (add person you don’t like)
Crackhead McDopehead: yeah, can’t wait to see  (add person you don’t like) so I can hit  (add person you don’t like) with a baseball bat
TvZ: so that is what you call your penis…never knew…
Crackhead McDopehead: sorry, didn’t realise hitting  (add person you don’t like) = using a penis in your dictionary.. but hey, i’m not judging..
TvZ: I’m just applying what I know of your relationship with (add person you don’t like) to the conversation, that is all
Crackhead McDopehead: ah.. i forgot, you’re the one getting hit in your relationship with  (add person you don’t like)…
TvZ: anyway, I don’t use my penis in my dictionary, weird fetishes you have
Crackhead McDopehead: mate, dictionary …… *moderator putting an end to this rubbish*

So you can see…well….there must be a moral to this story….

Never close a big dictionary on your penis while trying to play multiple instruments, since that is what happens when you learn to use iPads at a too young an age.

 

Schrödinger’s Cat is either alive or dead

Just a thought…
Schrödinger’s Cat theory can be made redundant by including a nightvision live streaming video cam to the content of the box.

Thumper’s new bib

Yip, a bib.
Not much to say here…I added a bib. That’s pretty much it.
Not to mention the difficult time I had to fix it under the custom seat.

Thumper, the bobber build

Here we go again, another project and too much time on my hands…so I thought…now it is another project with not so much time and not so much money.

It started when I told a friend that he should think about building his own bike up…which got me starting to think about getting another bike and change it.

How about getting a cruiser and make it a bobber. Easier said than done. I know about bikes, I know how an engine should work, but I really don’t know the full ins and outs. So the build should be simple, yes…

Anyway. I got a relative cheap 1999 Kawasaki Vulcan Classic. The one with the fat front tire.

So a before pic is in order:

 
So this is the before pic






 
At this point I removd the handlebars and thought best to cover the tank.




 
Removed the heat shield and wrapped the exhaust.



 
Next would be to strip the bike some more and wire up the indicators and seat panels.





 
Wiring all done, now fix the seat.


 
Adding the rear fender was not a breeze

 
Done for now!

 
Still a few things I would like to do:
1. Strip the badges,
2. Get a smaller front fender
3. Paint whole bike matte black

Don’t mess with…

It has been a while since I put anything on here. been busy.

Anyway, in August we went over for a little trip to Perth. Took two pictures and thought I’d share it:

Perception vs Reality : Car Tune-Up

You take your car to the mechanic for a long overdue service. After spending the content of your wallet on it, he tells you that he adjusted the carbs a bit so the air intake should be Sweeeeet. You feel great! Your car is going to be the talk of the town again:

You see yourself driving it like a bat out of hell….or a bad actor out of Fast and Furious

When in fact you still look like the same idiot driving the same bucket of bolts.

Riding the Google+ Wave

Thanks to Nelson Muntz, I got my invite to Google+. Yep, so far I like it. simple yet holding a lot of possibilities. I probably have to start adding people in my circles…wait…what……I probably have to invite people to my circles…..no…still sounds very wrong…I’ll have to add friends…
