Dragon’s Den

Holy crap, I heard thunder so I looked at our radar and it looks like it could get bad. So if I disappear for a while it means…
1. I’m hiding
2. I’m parasailing without a sail.
3. I’m running for my life.
4. The electricity went out.

Yesterday was just nuts. I’m not sure what got in to all of us, but we kind of just lost our minds for a day. Our banana had definitely slid off of our sundae. But hey, it was fun, right? So I say, why not do it again??? Woohoo!

In honor of her yearly physical (today) I submit Aerosmith’s, Back in the Saddle for her (get your feet in those stirrups girl!)…

UPDATE: Please leave messages for a positive outcome to her physical here…hehehe.

LANGUAGE WARNING
I was over at Ace of Spades and saw this, I know it’s kind of goofy, but I laughed my ass off over it.
OMG…it gets even better, with this!

While browsing through Yahoo News I saw a headline that said something like, “More Green Weddings”, and it made me laugh a little. I think I’m going to throw Tess a green wedding when she gets married (many, many years from now, when she graduates from college and has her own house). First, it would be held in the woods. And then, you know, the wedding dress could be made of fig leaves strategically placed. Ditto for the groom. They could throw acorns at the couple as they leave the ceremony. We could have fruits, nuts and berries for dinner. And maybe some tea made of leaves to drink (I’ll bring my own coffee). And then after all of that they can retire to their two room tent for the honeymoon.
Yeahhhh….I can just see it…

I first read about this Muslim piece of shit on Ace of Spades. I’m so disgusted and pissed off after reading this, I don’t know what to say, other than what this post is titled.

And speaking of pieces of shit, this story has 3 of them. Heads up to Wyatt, where I first read about this.

So, you must be asking yourself, what the hell is Dragon doing? Why hasn’t she posted?? Today was National Geographic day at the Dragon household. I was enjoying my morning coffee and cigarettes in the gazebo when I noticed two lizards locked in battle. Actually, one of them had the other lizard’s head all of the way in his mouth. So I broke them apart and they kept head bobbing and puffing out their throats. So I moved the most aggressive one to a plant and he jumped down and started attacking the other one again. So this time I picked his little butt up and carried him half way across the yard. Now fast forward to a few hours later when I’m talking to my oldest daughter and relating the story to her. Suddenly I turn around and lo and behold, there is one of the lizards on the rail. So my daughter goes to take a look and he puffs all up and starts head bobbing. My daughter got scared and backed off, which is when we noticed the aggressive lizard coming back across the rail. Just how I described it to her from this morning. So when they started fighting I grabbed the aggressive lizards tail to move him and the little bastard started attacking me! It bit my finger and then lunged at me. It didn’t hurt, but it did scare the living shit out of me. We moved him to the yard and no sooner did we make it back to the porch, when we saw him moving back up the rail. So my daughter harassed and bothered it until it left and stayed gone. The other lizard, content that it now has us fighting for him, has taken up residence in my hanging petunias. What a day!

I had no idea, when I turned on the random monster avatars, that it would be so controversial. Some have expressed a dislike for the avatar assigned to them. Other’s took to their new monster roles like a fish takes to water ::cough::Michelle::. The other day when I was at the donut shop, I ran in to her being surly with the help.

I do wonder where she’ll keep the donuts?

Live After Death DVD Review
I’ve owned this album for a while, but had never bought the DVD that accompanies it. WOW, that’s what I have to say. The opening song, “Aces High” is a bit rough, as is “Flight of Icarus”, but other than that this DVD is very good. It was filmed over two days in Los Angeles and Long Beach in 1985, during the Power Slave tour. Heavy metal ruled the land, and Maiden ruled metal. The outfits worn during the shoot were typical 80s. Spandex tights and chains. In fact the spandex was so tight, it left no argument on whether the guys were circumcised or not…especially Bruce Dickinson. Let’s just say that it’s a good thing the DVD didn’t come with 3D glasses. Sometimes it was distracting, but mostly the music was so good I barely noticed. Ahem…on to the music…
The standout songs were, Rime of the Ancient Mariner which was amazing, and Hallowed be Thy Name which was perfect. Revelations perfect as well. The other songs were executed well, and with the appropriate amount of power. Maiden’s stage presence was strong, and a mummified Eddie made his appearance during the song Power Slave.
I thoroughly enjoyed this DVD, and if you’re a Maiden fan as well, you will too.
I give Live After Death a 5 stars out of 5.

Ohhhh…I found this on youtube. It’s Hallowed be thy name, from the dvd.
