Seriously the coolest ever

The following is completely fucking awesome for many, many reasons the most notable being:
1) Bushbabies are probably one of the cutest, cuddley animals on the face of the earth. A hungry, ugly chimp decides to spear one, probably beat it with a rock a couple times then eat it when it may or may not still be living. It's a really good metaphor if you think about it.
2) If it was a spear how did it get sharpened in the first place, do monkeys have knives and shit too, that's even more extreme.
3) Planet of the Apes if fo' real and it is going to happen, i knew it all along and this just proves it. The damn dirty apes are getting smarter, fuck.


DES MOINES, Iowa - Researchers report witnessing a chimpanzee skewering a tree creature for supper with a spearlike tool, a rare observation of a long-studied primate in the wild.
"It's not uncommon to have chimps use tools. But to use them in the context of hunting" is nearly unheard of, said Jill Pruetz, an anthropology professor from Iowa State University who led the research team.
The chimp's actual spearing of a bushbaby, a lemurlike creature that lives in hollow branches or trunks, was only seen once, however. So some primate experts said it was unclear whether the spectacle was a bit of luck or an indication that chimps have a more advanced ability to hunt than was thought.
The observations were made in Fongoli, Senegal, from March 2005 to July 2006. Pruetz's team documented cases of the chimps using the spears in a study released Thursday in the online version of the journal Current Biology.
Pruetz said the practice is most common among adolescent females, ages 10 to 13, which must compete against physically superior males.
"It's a way of accessing protein or meat that is a creative solution to this problem," she said.
Pruetz said the chimpanzees stripped leaves from tree branches and modified the tip with their incisors, "effectively making a point." Then the chimpanzees jabbed the tool into a cavity to snag a bushbaby.
Chimpanzees commonly use sticks to get food, such as termites, said Ian Gilby, a postdoctoral fellow who studies chimpanzee hunting at Harvard University.
"You frequently see chimps sticking sticks into holes or trees, so they can make the hole bigger so they can put their arm in," said Gilby, who hadn't read the study.
Gilby said he's seen this tactic used to get honey and small birds from holes in his work in Gombe, Tanzania.
"If it's clear they're making a point" on a branch tip, he said, then that "does appear to be slightly different from what we see at other sites."
David DeGusta, an assistant professor of anthropological sciences at Stanford University, lauded Pruetz's work because of the rarity of studying chimpanzees outside Gombe, where renowned researcher Jane Goodall did her work. It's hard to get animals accustomed to human presence and willing to carry on naturally, DeGusta said.
"The more populations that are studied, the more we learn about how their behavior can vary," said DeGusta.
Her Iowa State graduate students continue to observe other emerging patterns among chimpanzees in Senegal.
"In a million years I never would've predicted that I would've seen (hunting)," she said. "I'm going to plug along and see what unfolds."

Jojo Dogtits quote of the Day 2/23/07

"So we need to drive to Ed Budd's office, pick up the job, get these invoices signed and at some point get lunch, i'm fucking starving." - Mike
"Yeah, did I ever tell you about the time I pissed myself on an airplane?" -Jojo
"Wha, what, pissed yourself, what?" -Mike
" Dude, I was in Vegas a couple years ago and the night before we were supposed to leave, i just got wasted hammered drunk, i was drinking all day, passed out, and then woke up and drank until like 4:00 am. Fucking shitcanned. So then Pam (jojo's girlfriend) wakes me up in the morning and i still can't see straight, and she is being a bitch and yelling at me and shit, and then at the airport she goes to check us in and i lay down in the middle of the terminal. The middle of the fucking terminal, i drag the bags around me and she lets me sleep for about 30 minutes. Once we finally get on the plane i passed out immediately. I wake up about an hour later and the stewardess and Pam are leaning over me and throwing water all over my body because i guess i was sweating and shaking and shit. I go the the bathroom and try to maintain for a bit but on my way back i notice that my shorts are just soaked. I get back to my seat and Pam glares at me and that i need to 'sick the fuck down right now.' The piss had puddled in my seat and she made me sit in it the rest of the trip. It was all sloshing around and dripping on the floor. she wouldn't even let me change my shorts until we got home."- Jojo
"Did any of the peepee get on her?"-Mike
"Probably, she was sitting next to me, fuck maybe that's why she was so pissed."-Jojo
"Maybe?"-Mike

i can be sexy

I just want you all to know that I am a man. Long have you wandered looking for me, and finally I have been found. You have searched through the darkness and loneliness with one purpose, to find me. There is no sky, ground, heaven or hell, just me, and I am a man. I was man before I was born and will be a man long after I die; I am the beginning and the end, the alpha-man and omega-man. Power, stamina, prowess, fortitude, tenacity, stamina, and guile are qualities I possess in great quantities, if you ever question my competency. Rejoice because I am here and long for your touch and embrace, as you do mine. You are beautiful to me and I am beautiful to you. So come to me, touch my masculine physique, rub hot Persian oils on my blemish free skin, and we can light candles and talk about feelings and shit. I am strong. Have you seen my washboard stomach? I do crunches every morning; I can do a thousand now. I need you. They say love knows no boundaries, but this is not true, the only love that exists is within my arms, holding you tight. We will be as one, together, whenever, wherever, we were meant to be together, I'll be there and you'll be near and that's the deal my dear.

Jojo Dogtits Quote of the Day 2/16/2007

"Did you live close to campus when you were in college?" - Mike
"My first 4 years I lived two blocks away, the next two I was about a mile, the last 2 1/2 I lived about 4 blocks away, but I had to cross busy streets so I usually drove to my boys house, which was across the street from school and I walked." - Jojo
" So you had to hang around campus all day?" -Mike
"Yeah, it was fine though, because most days i would just sit on the green and watch girls with my boy James, those girls were so hot, shit where did they all come from? I always wanted to be like ' Girl come over here and drop them draws, it's hot out here just sit on my face and pee on me, its hot, just pull them draws down.'"- Jojo
"Jesus Christ." -Mike

More weird happend, but I forgot some

For the past couple of days I’ve been trying to put into words what exactly I was involved with last weekend. So much strangeness happened over such a short period it really overwhelms me to think about all that transpired. Here is a good metaphor, if someone were writing a book on my life as I lived it, this would be the chapter that the author was tripped out on acid. I was slightly hung over, driving on snow covered roads with a car with balled tires, playing rugby in the snow, being painfully cold from 9:00 am – 6:00 pm, not feeling my toes from 9:30-6:00, shivering, being irate that kegs were not tapped at 10:00, drinking a only a small amount of beer because my hands got too cold from being exposed and holding cold beverages, getting hit in the face and bleeding, only eating a bagel sandwich and 1 tube of energy goo, trying to find a place to eat at Breck on a Saturday night, finding out that everywhere has a two hour wait, almost getting kicked out of a restaurant after being seated and waiting for 1 hour, thinking that the waitress must have done something to my food because there were 10 angry rugby players in her restaurant and it was clearly obvious we freaked out the squares, discovering $5 pitchers of beer is a wonderful deal, deciding to stay for only 2 pitchers and staying for 15, partying with rugby girls, having random rugby girl dig my business, finding out girl was digging my business to anger her boyfriend, having boyfriend get angry with me and my team, realizing the dude was small and would get his shit wrecked if he continued his course of action, buying the girl a drink, realizing that rugby girls are very unattractive but they like to get real drunk and dance “ sexy ? ”, thinking it would be real funny to get some high schools kids drunk and then finding out they were both as old as me, being worried about inhaling a lingering cloud of weed and then failing my drug test the next week, realizing that rugby players should do cooler drugs like pcp or coke because on said drugs they would be better at rugby, weed makes people lazy and shitty at rugby, waking up to a 45 year old rugby player coughing up a lung because he smoked a lot of weed, staying in a condo that stunk of weed and asshole, driving back to Denver hung over again and again on snow covered roads, going to the cherry creek mall and being freaked out by how strange I thought everyone looked, seeing bragina, hearing Warzone argue with his mom because she thinks he is starting to look like a bike messenger or someone who belongs working at Qudoba, seeing someone I went to high school with, making eye contact, look away and keep walking, going to whole foods the scarff the free samples, discovering that there was no free samples except brownies, eating 10 brownies, buying tickets for The Departed then finding out it comes out on DVD Tuesday, wasting 2 hours at the mall, getting angry at the Gap, convincing Warzone for 30 minutes that Letters from Iwo Jima was a movie we should see, watching Japanese people being fucking nuts, and having the overwhelming feeling all day that I have been away from Denver/reality for a solid two weeks when its only been a day.

I am Batman, and not drunk, just tired.
Rumpley is a goth kid, disturbing.
This is Warren in a nutshell

Response to hooking up with b-league frisbee players

For the record, I have never bedded a girl that played b-league. My various forays into the world of the b-league was met with what I would say was three key obstacles in wooing a lady into taking her clothes off. The biggest factors included Warren and Rumpley, if anyone knows either of those guys you understand how big of cock blocks they really are. Warren was always puking, cursing and being drunk and Rumpley was being himself. Also, the various girls that happened to be on my teams in b-league were all shitty frisbee players, therefore they got very angry when a laser, hammer, or no frisbee at all went there way. I also usually wore a g-unit jersey, and as everyone knows frisbee players hate gangstas.
