Plasma!

So I was searching online for interesting things and decided that I wanted to see if I could make my own plasma. You know, the 4th state of matter. Well, I could start a fire, but I wanted something a little more interesting.

I found this video on YouTube that demonstrates how to do a plasma in your own home!

WARNING! I would highly suggest not doing this in your house! (although if you did it for maybe 5 seconds or so it shouldn't blow up the glass)...

OK, here is the video:

Enjoy!

Watch out for flying plasma!?!

Best Transcription on TV EVER!

Sorry for all the hype. :)

I was watching the Patriots rout the Dolphins tonight at a local bar. During one of the commercials, I see the following transcribed on the closed captioning:

[Nerd group laughing.]

That has got to be the funniest one I have seen in quite some time! :)

Anyone else have any good ones? :)

Blessings

Random Poetry

Cthulhu
Star Trek
Forgotten Realms
Gunslinger

Through cyclopean organs of sense
The Captain of the Starship Enterprise
Paraded through the Waterdhvian North Gate
"...there are other worlds than these," ringing ashamedly in his ears.

Visions of Deep Ones dancing under hematophilic skies
Firing all photon torpedoes at the Klingon Bird-of-Prey
While Elminster And Mr. Greenwood smoke their pipes and
The Lobstrosities asking for a palaver - Did-a-chick?

Nyrlothotep-worshipping Mi-go eldritch chant
"I'm a doctor, not an engineer."
Cyrus and Midnight feud while Kelemvor looks upward
The ka-tet seeks only the Dark Tower.

Music and LOTRO

Here is something wonderful!

I enjoy this very much!

Also...

While playing LOTRO as Toshia Sweetbrew, Shire Brewmaster (actually a mistress, thank you very much)...Grand Master Cook, Grand Master Farmer...I make a mean Winterberry Ale!

[Regional] Eolav: 'Middle Earth is a dangerous place for newcomers. You need POWERFUL FRIENDS We are a small, casual, newbie-friendly kin that you will enjoy as you adventure in this world. PM me for more info.'

My response:

You tell Eolav, 'Well said sir. :) I suggest Powerful Friends as a way to distinguish. No one likes yelling. ;)'

His response:

Eolav tells you, '??'
Eolav tells you, 'I am a Cappy, I yell a lot ... ;o)'

My response:

You tell Eolav, 'Well done then. :) Carry-on. ;)'

You tell Eolav, 'can I suggest though a period after the FRIENDS. :) take care!'

Bruce Lee

Below are two videos of Bruce Lee play ping pong and lighting matches...with ヌンチャク, aka Nunchaku, aka Nunchucks! Wow!

I have never seen these videos before today and I came across them while looking at an ad for an HTML/CSS Ninja.

Here they are:

If I had only kept up my training, I could light matches too! :)

Starcat's Exclamations

I enjoy all the weird exclamations that go on around here. Check some of them out:

#1:
As exclaimed by Starcat while looking at our online calendar:

"What?!? It's green!"

Our shared calendar is, of course, customizable, and she happened to be looking at my version. :)

===

#2:
A few minutes later, she was trying to get a hopping spider off the table. Since it was pouring rain, she did not want to put it outside. After shaking it off the aluminum foil cover for the cinnamon chocolate chip muffins we made for a postponed camp/swimming celebration, she asked the spider where it was and then said excitedly "Oh, you're on the floor!"

===

#3:
As Dryst slowly exits his room from goofing around with his friend while playing World at War on his XBox 360, he asks Starcat in a quiet voice, "Mom, what do I do when I get hit in the nuts with a ball?"

She exclaims, "How should I know? I'm a girl! Ask him," as she points in my direction.

Sometimes kids ask the right question to the wrong person.

Being a teenager can be hard...

"Oh My Noobtubing Nipples!" as exclaimed by Dryst, a 13 y.o. boy, while playing Search & Destroy in Modern Warfare 2 on his Xbox 360.

"Rage Quit!" said quietly, because his aunt was sleeping upstairs, and as I hear the light thud of a shirt thrown to the ground, as exclaimed by Dryst while playing Search & Destroy in Modern Warfare 2 on his Xbox 360. (1 hour later)

Who said being a teenager wasn't hard? :)

I Touch Myself

Here is a snippet of code I found that was so amazing, I had to share it.

This was my first thought when I saw it:

header("Location:../index.php"); = "I Touch Myself" - Chrissy Amphlett, The Divinyls, "Divinyls."


Here is the original code:



< ?php

*/

header("Location:../index.php");

/* pretty impressive huh? */

Back issues and the Cthulhian girl

No, not the physical kind, but the kind where I have neglected to put up stuff that I wanted to. Actually, this is the 2nd post, so I can't go that far back!

Anyway, here it is. An image of the lovely ElvenTiger impersonating Cthulhu:



I especially like how her eyes look "off" based on her head and hair. Also, the snarl helps a bit too. :)

I will have more strange photos and ideas as the weeks progress. Hope you enjoyed this installment! :)

Blessings and weirdness,
BlackLion

P.S. And I am addicted to smiley faces in my posts! So if you don't like it, then now you know why! ;)

Welcome to my Lair...mwahaha! (insert random cough and or evil-thwarting subplot)

Welcome to BlackLion's What!?!

I will say what is on my mind and show you weird and interesting "stuff" from my home and on to the internet. By "stuff" I mean, pictures of a young cthulhian girl, self-referential indices, and trails of object d'art from a teenage boy.

All this and more!

Please stayed tuned...Same Bat Time...Same Bat Channel (#5).

Love and blessings,
BlackLion
