Mulberry Movie

We made some movies back in the old country, but I have never heard of this one.

Blast from the Past I

You remember the Armsters. They were all tall and built insanely creative houses. They still have a business and still live at the same address behind the old homestead! Check the website. They still make amazing looking houses.

And what's up with this imposter?

Facebook has uncomfortably alien terminology for intimate moments

Where da gold?

Dream

A phoenix home whose backyard had a pool and was backed against Sonoran desert. Night. Morgan and Devin are still out playing capture the flag somewhere. You were blasting the stereo with Godspeed You Black Emperor, for a more dramatic and cinematic soundtrack to the match. I guess i was inside, finished..... In the morning, Stephe and Xris were present. Stephe and I were going to do errands, but Xris announced that, No, we had to go to the Middle Earth Store to get Stephe some hobbit clothing, because he looked like a hobbit. When Stephe rounded a corner, I took one look at him and saw that his nose was considerably huge. Like a proboscis monkey or saiga antelope. Then I awoke.

This is significant because Xris told me today at 9:54 AM :

Xris: I often have dreams with Nayt, Morgan and Devin.
Nayt: Can i quote you on that? On my keane brother blog?
Xris: yep

Flannigan's return

Greetings fellow warriors of parchment and terra firma. As my first addition to this blog I would like to extend my warmest memories to share with the two of my most trusted advisors....

Never have I been more proud in my days of young than one night as we were finishing a game of predator down at the reeds near tuttles point. That night I recieved an eery feeling, and being the youngest and thus the most easily frightened of the three of us, I humbly requested to be escorted back to the homestead by one of my brothers. Being pre-occupied with hunting multiple soldiers, Nathaniel was passed over as an option. Unfortunitely, I then had to go to my secondary option, my tormenting, neglected and vengeful middle brother, even though I knew what his answer would be. After a heartfilled and truly unsympathetic laughing fit, he prompted my retreat with a hasty "Hell no you little prick," and thus I carried on.

Now I may not have braved the mines of the dwarves or the armies of mordor, but I tell you I outwitted some fierce enemies and traveled with great celerity through the dark night. I thwarted the dark raccoons from the porches....and some other shit.

I made it back home to where mother cleaning in the kitchen. I bragged without hesitation about my travels and equal bravery. I could tell she admired it, even though it is her job not to show emotion. After a hug, I was quick to remember to ask my mother, "Mom, whats a prick?" She replied with great anger "Who taught you that word?!" and without wasting any time, "Devin did."

Not one to take soiling the mind of a child lightly, Devin was locked away in his chambers upon his return.

Victory.

The one that always gets me

There are some PBF comics that ALWAYs make me laugh. Never fails...

A Vague Bearing

Here is my political compass, which forces you into positions which require much more subtlety and sophistication than the options the questionnaire gives (i.e. 'which is better: controlling inflation vs. unemployment?' those two are not mutually exclusive!). An amusing excersise nonetheless, and a farily accurate barometer of where I stand. I know you guys have done it before but my views have changed even since I took this test over Christmas. Not that you care.

Some Things Never Change

Experts are gay, and This kid knows luck

Objectively speaking, this isn't all that interesting. But it's hilarious to see a kid "appear" to be an "expert" on the NCAA bracket on television. I wonder who this other guy who picked the sweet sixteen was.

Current Representation

The Big Aristotle?

Shaq has so many nicknames. Based on this photo, you could call him "Child Crusher" since he mercilessly squashed Toby for neglecting to wear his Suns jersey. I am happy the Suns won today (and that I got to watch) and that they wore jerseys that said "LOSS" on them (los suns). Against the Spurs, no less. Hey, anyone spot John McCain courtside? That's where I'd like him to stay: the sidelines.

Mulberria Wiki

Long ago in a seldom-travelled peninsular eden, a small tribe of farmlads began assessing territorial control. Their humble yet dominant civilization was characterized by a unique vernacular, highly specialized war games, clandestine professional sports teams and a population of sentient stuffed animals that achieved movie star status.

Mulberria was the given name to a previously unnamed swath of forest and beach biomes because of one byway that traversed the land named Mulberry Point Road. Where "Mulberry Point" was supposed to be was never discovered. Thus, "Mulberria" took precedence. Important clansmen chiefs included the Keane theocracy, a warrior elf named Duffy, a cross eyed cupcake eater named Harris, Two Dietz serfs (one dominant, the other whiny), and the O'Toole landfill hobbits who were really too small to have any power whatsoever until the rest either were killed, imprisoned or had moved away.

Not much is known of Mulberria in common history. Legend of a shape-bending "predator" which roamed the land hunting tribesfellows is a common story. Warring tribes in nearby lands were known to have "less-than-capable" athletes, which would explain Mulberria's far-reaching iron fist of control. Though unproven in achaeological record, Mulberrians were known to be undefeated in all athletic contests. Mulberrians were also known for their penchant for creating and acting in their own films, though the whereabouts of records and tapes are not known.

Major Historical Landmarks of Mulberria include the Field of Reeds on Tuttle's Point where many Mulberrian warrior carcasses had been discovered, an abandoned baseball card business in a treehouse as well as an abandoned bait shop ravished by raccoons, a battered fence with an incalculable amount of soccerball imprints, a stone trench filled with gold and imagination, several athletic fields, an abandoned garage filled with paint buckets and a 1932 edition of the Boy Scout handbook, and Stunt Mountain, where it was fabled that certain Mulberrians would prove their fortitude by sledding down its steep, rocky slopes in a yellow plastic contraption.

Mulberrians were scattered in the year 1995 after the collapse and migration of the Keane Theocracy. Their established and kind method of rule had become so comfortable that the remaining clansmen were incapable of recovering. Many perished. Today Mulberria lays buried under the heartless march of "progress" as many modern developers have stripped the land of its charm and colored it lame. The land is rich with memory and potential for a new culture to, once again, be "precipitous," to use a Mulberrian term.
