Yo! Trim That Ear Beard!

In the wake of the murder of a prominent local newsman and the resultant shutting down of the headquarters in Oakland, the news has been interviewing lots of people involved in the story.

When they spoke to one guy, I could not pay any attention to what he was saying because he had rather enormous tufts of hair sprouting from his ears. Like a goatee almost, just coming out of his ears.

It was disgusting but impossible to look away.

I don't get how you could see yourself in a mirror and not notice that you've got more hair coming out of your ears than is on top of your head. Or maybe he liked it that way? I don't know but it was pretty nasty to look at.

Just like people who have never heard of trimming wild nose hairs and they have a little upside forest coming from their nostrils. Nasty!

Know What I Hate?

Yeah, I bet you are expecting a marathon post with a title like that. But nope, I'll keep this one short and nasty.

I hate ticks. Nasty little blood sucking, disease carrying nasties.

I scratched my neck earlier tonight and felt something, when I looked at it, it was a tick with legs all squirming and sick. And yes, I have checked myself for other ticks and found none. And this one wasn't even latched on, just crawling around looking for a spot.

And now I will spend the rest of the night feeling phantom ticks all over me. Damnit.

Shopping Carts Got Teh Cooties

Shopping Cart Handles Have More Germs Than Public Restrooms which is why many places of business are setting up a cheap and easy to use moist towellette station just inside the doors of their markets. Its a simple thing to grab a wipe and murder all those nasty germs.

Its not that people didn't know shopping carts are germ-machines, its just that there wasn't a news story proclaiming what we already knew.

And now that you know, protect yourself and murder some germs the next time you go shopping.
