Snippets of an ordinary life in an extraordinary world
When I watched this video, it took me back to my college days, when dry-ice bombs in the duck pond was a “cool” thing. Don’t worry–there weren’t any ducks in the duck pond. 
These guys must’ve been Techies. Here’s what they decide to do with 101 2-liter bottles of Coke and 523 Mentos. Kids, don’t try this at home.
Then there’s this take on the soda+mentos=BOOM concept.
Here’s a random web tidbit for you: a version of Bloody Sunday put together using George Bush quotes. I can’t even imagine how much time it took to piece this together!

Maybe Monday Madness should be about the fact that I actually remembered that it’s Monday! Woohoo!
Remember when you were little and an adult would caution you that wild animals are more afraid of us than we are of them? Apparently they’re scared of cats, too.
Picture this: you’re sitting on your back patio, soaking up the cool evening breeze as a new front is moving through the area. The sun moves behind a cloud as you gently rock in your chair. Close your eyes.
Yes, good. Now open them slowly and look to your right. Sitting there, calm as can be, is Bert, resident garden lizard of the Taylor household.
At first glance, Bert, a diminutive green lizard from Pinehurst, Texas, doesn’t seem out of the ordinary. He’s small for a lizard his age, though his perfectly-colored back stripe is the envy of larger, buffer green lizards all over town. He’s shy at first, choosing to remain on the fringe of the action. But once you get to know him, it’s clear to even the most skeptical observer that Bert is headed for great things.
But he doesn’t like to be photographed because it “harshes his buzz.” This interviewer isn’t quite sure what that means, but hey, we just report the facts. As a fan of The Simpsons, Bert is particularly fond of doughnuts and the color blue. Although he’s currently living in the Taylor garden rent-free, he’s keeping his options open.
“I hear the superhero school is accepting reptilian applicants. I really hope they accept me, cuz I think I’d make a great superhero. I mean, check out these muscles!” he boasts as he flaunts his glistening, muscled legs. “Don’t hate me cuz I’m beautiful, yo.” Bert continues to preen in the setting sun.
Hate Bert? Heavens no. But we’ll be eagerly awaiting his next appearance, for sure.
Ok, this is the second week in a row that I forgot Monday. Maybe it’s denial? To atone for yet another skip of Monday Madness, I offer the Evolution of Dance. It’s a little long (about 6 minutes), but really darned amusing. Thanks, J, for the link! 
I was sitting in my bedroom, watching the video on my laptop and giggling away. Since the Astros had just lost ANOTHER game, my hubby knew it wasn’t baseball that was making me giggly. In fact, given the dismal performance of the Astros during recent weeks (but that’s for another post), I seem to have developed a potty mouth that would make a sailor blush. Anyhoo, I digress! He asks what is making me laugh so much, so I started telling him about this hilarious dance video my friend sent. Halfway through my description he says, “Oh, is that The Evolution of Dance?”
“Yes,” I say, “How did you know?!”
He sighs and snaps, “Welcome to last month, Becca.”
So not only am I losing Mondays, I’m a month behind. Great!
