Hooby-Dooby

Hello, my peoples. Sorry for the relatively late post. My sister claimed she had homework to do, which would've been fine had I not seen her uploading and editing pictures of herself all afternoon. Buh.

Kaita has no voice, so school was definitely an interesting experience. It was hard to hear her, so she just gesticulated a lot and I got the general idea. Nevertheless, today was a success on account of I hit Bobby Kiesel in the head with like, 3 dodgeballs. That was cool. Ah.

"Gesticulated" sounds like a naughty word.

The Infamous Andy Francis paid me a visit today. Good for him. We watched UHF and soccer and then beat people up and took their money.

Thanks, River City Ransom for the NES!

I guess this is sort of a scant post. Everyone's gearing up for Kasenow's AP Exam and to tell you the truth I've got a lot more important things on my mind. Like NASA. Why do we have NASA? Worst investment of all time. Did we expect to profit from space travel? Ugh. It's caused more harm than good, in my opinion. Sure, National Geographic is able to put out another issue on stars and whatnot, but I just don't care. Or maybe I do care. Too much. Bleaugh.

Now, prepare for another embarrassing edition of...

LOOKING BACK...FOR SCIENCE!

1899 - Jazz master Edward Kennedy Ellington is born. You might know him as "Duke", who cranked out jazz classics like "C Jam Blues" and "Make The 'A' Train". Unfortunately, he smoked a lot and died of lung cancer. Bummer.

1901 - Future Japanese Emperor Hirohito is born. The man had one name and ruled the entire country of Japan. How cool is that? It's just a bummer we A-Bombed his empire. I feel kinda bad.

Sorry, buddy.

1945 - Adolf Hitler marries longtime sweetheart Eva Braun in his underground bunker and then allegedly commits suicide. But we all know what happened. Marriage ruins lives.

1992 - Riots break out in Las Angeles after the acquittal of several police officers charged with using excessive force in the beating of Rodney King, a black man. Over the next 3 days, 53 people are killed and hundreds of buildings are destroyed. I think we made up for it since we found OJ innocent.

Call it even?

2008 - Albert Hoffman, Swiss scientist, known as the first to synthesize LSD, dies. I guess I don't care, but without him, we'd never hear of Jack Kerouac or Ken Kesey. I liked their books. So, thanks, Al. Thanks for blowing people's minds all over their faces.

And this has been yet another edition of...

LOOKING BACK...FOR SCIENCE!

And that is all for today. Hopefully something exciting happens this week and I can have you guys frothing over my next juicy post. But that probably won't happen, so you should probably get started on that book you've been telling everyone you've read a thousand times.

Join me next time when Fred Rogers from "Mr. Roger's Neighborhood" joins us from BEYOND THE GRAVE...!

Oooooo~!
