By Professor DLG'er


In todays lesson, our helper shown at right is going to help us learn how to "ponder" big words.

Our helper shows that all you have to do is:
 
  *Slap on your best 'sh*t eatin grin'
  *Blankly stare off to your left


And voila!!!  Pondering big words!!!

Writing my own newspaper column after Izetta's words of encouragement: "Maybe you should be writing a column in the paper too! I'm sure that other people would be happy to hear of these prices, and I'm also confident that you could explain it in a way that makes sense to your regular, average Joe. You know, not too many big, fancy words that are incomprehensible"



Fish is good for you
By DLG'er, filling in for IC at the paper this week.

Salmon is full of Omega 3, which makes it good for you.  Eat lots.

Words Of Wisdom

By Professor DLG'er
Do not attempt commercial projects (grinding up fish waste, growing vegetables to sell- you know, commercial projects) on your personal property that is zoned residential.  Higher ups will see this as not following the rules like everyone else and you will be ordered to halt.

Introduction To Advanced Aerodynamics

By Professor DLG'er
In todays lesson, we are going to use a blistering hot day and our vehicles for our learning experience.

Imagine yourself driving down the road on a very hot sunny day.  It must be 90 degrees inside your vehicle.  Either your vehicle doesn't have A/C, or the A/C is broken.  What do you do?  Do the following:
  • Roll your driver side window down all the way
  • Rest your forearm on the door, with your hand pointing forward
  • Cup your hand (palm up) and lower your arm slowly 
  • Once your hand drops below the mirror, you should feel a blast of air
  • With trial & error, you should be able to direct the blast of air up your arm and to your body
  • Palm below the mirror worked for me, you might have to try above the mirror
Once you can successfully direct the blast of air to your body, you have passed the 'Introduction To Advanced Aerodynamics' class!

I'm sure that other people would be happy to hear of these prices, and I'm also confident that you could explain it in a way that makes sense to your regular, average Joe. You know, not too many big, fancy words that are incomprehensible"



IT'S NOT FAIR!
By Dlg'er

Some overseas farmed fish get to use the organic label.  Wild fish doesn't.  Those farmed fish eat wild fish.  It's not fair!

Writing my own newspaper column after Izetta's words of encouragement: "Maybe you should be writing a column in the paper too! I'm sure that other people would be happy to hear of these prices, and I'm also confident that you could explain it in a way that makes sense to your regular, average Joe. You know, not too many big, fancy words that are incomprehensible"



GETTING MORE $ FOR YOUR CATCH
By Dlg'er

Buyers will pay you more for your fish if you chill your catch.

I wonder...

...is Izetta Chambers really, really, really smart?  Or does she need to open up her biology book and thesaurus when she writes her bits for the Bristol Bay Times and uses words that nobody understands.  And that picture...she should snap a new shot.  Maybe she could focus her eyes on the camera this time and wipe that blankety-blank grin off her face.

Don't know what you have...until you see what other people pay for it

Me in the summertime:  Catch some fish to sell for 50 cents or so per pound.  Every now and then pluck a couple out to bring home.  Slice em up into fillets for the freezer to eat during the dark wintery days.

Me not too long ago:  Walking through the aisles in a Carrs Quality Center.  Some frozen salmon fillets thawing in an open refrigerated bin caught my eye.  A closer look revealed price tags ranging from $15- $20 for a single fillet.

Me after seeing the price tags on the thawing salmon fillets:  Hmm...maybe I should slice up a few extras this summer.    I guess I didn't realize what I had until I saw what other people are paying for the same thing.

REACTIONS TO GETTING A CUT ON A FINGER:

Me:  Dammit!!! I cut myself!!!  Where the hell are those band-aids...

Izetta Chambers:  Blast!  It appears as if (opening up a human anatomy book) I have nearly severed a blood vessel, hence the blood flowing out of my finger.  If I apply a slight pressure to the wound, the blood should coagulate.  Coagulation is a complex process by which blood forms clots.  It is an important part of hemostasis, wherein a damaged blood vessel wall...

More Photo Shop Miracles: Sneak Peek

Just a sneak peek of what's to come in "More Photo Shop Miracles"

Google "kathy mclinn" and choose images as the search option, somehow DLG'ers profile pic shows up.  I would like to change that.  Kathy's pictures certainly deserve to be shown on the WORLD WIDE WEB, not DLG'ers when you do a WORLD WIDE WEB search of her name.

While I'm not looking for an apology anymore, now would probably be the wisest time for one to come out.  An apology will remove this photo, and prevent a flood of future "more photo shop miracles" touch-up photos that is soon to come.  Planned release date is May 24, 2010- one whole week from now.  Once something hits the WORLD WIDE WEB, seems like it's kinda permanent.

Good News

Good news:  There was no mix up.  The photo touch up procedure was in fact IC's.

Excellent news:  We have located Kathy McLinn's before/after photo touch up procedure.  This procedure was also long and drawn out.  Once we prepare her procedure for uploading, we will share it with you. 

Possible Photo Shop Miracles Mix Up

...I need to double check my records to make sure that the photo I described as IC's has not been mixed up with Kathy McLinn's.  Stay tuned!!!

Is it good luck, or stealing?

You find a $100 bill on the ground.  There are people around.  What do you do?  Ask them if they lost $100?  What if you just stick it in your pocket?  What if the first person you ask says it's theirs?  Are they lying?  How do you know?  I would think about sticking it in my pocket before someone else does.  Of course it matters to me who the people are that are around.  Is this good luck, or stealing?

EXPLANATIONS ON THE BARS OF SOAP USED IN THE SHOWERS THIS MORNING:

Me:  Wow!  This new soap really lathers up.  It smells awesome!  I'm only buying this soap from now on...

Izetta Chambers:  Soaps are useful for cleaning because soap molecules have both a hydrophilic end, which dissolves in water, as well as a hydrophobic end, which is able to dissolve non-polar grease molecules. Although grease will normally adhere to skin or clothing, the soap molecules can form micelles which surround the grease particles and allow them to be dissolved in water. Applied to a soiled surface, soapy water effectively holds particles in colloidal suspension so...

The Shatterproof Beer Cans

I wonder when Bethel is going to have their next vote to decide on how to control the flow of booze into their wonderful little city.  Let's go wet, let's go damp, let's go wet.  It'll be good because this, it'll be bad because that.  Blah, blah, blah.  According to my favorite online paper, the last vote had a 35% voter turnout.  They compared it to the last Anchorage vote for mayor, which had a 30% turnout.  I don't know what Bethel's normal voter turnout is, but I'm going to guess that it's well below 35%.  I can also guess on what Bethel residents see as the most important issues going on in their wonderful little city.  Booze on the mind.  Whether someone drinks or not, booze on the mind.

Makes me think about another little place in Alaska that once decided to prohibit the sale of glass bottles.   Glass bottles that contain booze in them.  Because people go crazy and go around smashing those glass bottles over peoples heads?  I wonder what it would be like if the little spot on the map called Dillingham decided to go damp or dry.  The booze from Dillingham not only causes major problems in Dillingham, but in all surrounding little villages.  Assault, rape, kids doing bad in school because their parents drink 24/7.  The list goes on & on.

So if you tell someone that they can't do something, it's going to work like magic and solve all of the problems.  Right?  Tell them it's illegal to drink because horrible things happen when they do.  They won't drink anymore.  No more assaults & rapes.  Seems to make sense to me, knowing that most of these assaults & rapes are alcohol related.    Ban something and everything will be ok.

Wrong, in my opinion.  Only makes it harder to get.  They have to put more effort into getting it.  Spend more money in the process.  The little infant in mommy's arms is going to have less formula because mommy & daddy have to spend more money to get the banned booze.  Banned booze costs more, and more money doesn't just appear out of thin air.  That more money for banned booze is going to come out of the light bill money, food bill money, the little infant's formula & diaper bill money.

So why do people continue to vote on something that's not going to be effective?  The respectable people in the neighborhood "know" what's right, because they don't have the same problems as "boozers" in the neighborhood.  Maybe some of the "boozers" see that they have some problems and are desperate for solutions.  Who knows.    

My solution:  Don't ban glass bottles.  Don't ban the booze that comes in them.  There's a slim chance that the little infant in mommy's arms will have extra food because there's extra food money.  Because buying a bottle of booze won't cost ten times its normal price.  Don't put more restrictions on something that's going to be done anyway.  Make the consequences harsher for law breakers who broke the law as a result of consuming alcohol.  Adding restrictions to alcohol use only MAKES more law breakers.
