The 2009 Garden & Squirrel Solution

As you may or may not know, this crazy inflated Monkey enjoys partying, girls, bananas, girls, watching MTV reality shows, girls, and yes, gardening. In the midst of all the other exciting stuff going on, I forgot to mention that I have a bunch of veggies growing once again for the 2009 summer season. Last year saw several of the leafy green vegetable plants such as broccoli and spinach get eaten by rodents or probably deer. This time around I set up a special area up on a hill with a protective fence around it. We bought fence and a bunch of the other necessary gardening stuff at the local Lowes store, and now it actually seems to be a real garden since nothing's able to eat away at the plants. Anyways, this year's crops include: cucumber, squash, green pepper, broccoli, tomato, zucchini, and due to a mixup at the Lowes, Okra. Okra's apparently like grits which are a treat in the south. The Okra (rhymes with Oprah) got planted up on a hill in the hopes the deer would eat that one, because everyone tells me Okra is yucky, although one of the relatives says it tastes great fried (what doesn't?) I'll keep you all updated on how the veggie situation goes, but as of right now the cucumber/squash seem to have flowers, there's two small tomatoes budding and then a green pepper growing nicely by itself.

That brings me to another interesting nature situation, since I mentioned preventing critters from getting into my garden. We've got a bird feeder set up right outside our front kitchen window to provide entertainment and bird-viewing. The birds seem to love it there as we see everything from cardinals to bluebirds and woodpeckers stopping by for food. At times they even like to let us know when the container needs to be refilled. Unfortunately, it's not just the birds who seem to be munching away on the birdseed. It's those rodents with the big bushy tails filling their fat bellies up, and constantly driving the family dog bonkers. That at times can be entertaining, as just the other day I saw 3 squirrels all together going after the bird food in the feeder and down below. So needless to say we are looking to prevent squirrels from invading the feeder. I started reading up on solutions and learned about these devices called squirrel baffles. They're dome shaped-thingies that you attach to the feeder that prevent squirrels from climbing the pole or going onto the feeder. Pretty nifty and less mean of an apprach, because the next solutions are putting hot cayenne pepper into the birdseed or the alpha male says he's going to shoot the squirrels with a BB Gun...Just giving you squirrels fair warning!

PETA Vegetarians Gone Wild!

Hello fellow party animals, this Sunday marks one of the biggest holidays in all of the United States...as well as the day in which the national water level goes down the most during one period of time....That's right, it's the SuperBowl! Time for football, cheerleaders, parties, fun, food, snacks and of course those beloved Superbowl commercials which many of us are more interested in than the game itself!

One commercial which is getting a lot of attention is the PETA advertisment. It's been banned from airing due to it's "steamy nature"...The ad takes a look at vegetarians in a whole new sexy way!

WARNING: THIS VIDEO IS HOT IN NATURE! My girl Christi Paul of CNN HLN (Headline News or Hot Lesbian News) breaks it all down...



Watch the unedited PETA Veggie Love ad in its entirety!

PETA argues that other ads for burgers or chicken, etc make people fat, boring and bad in bed...Right on PETA! There's nothing wrong with showin a little "veggie love"... PETA also want to make Michael Vick undergo psychiatric counseling due to what he did with dogs...The group is definitely making moves, and any group that defends my rights as a modern day party animal deserves my backing...

You can get special 3-D glasses for Sunday's game, which you can pick up at various locations/stores including Dollar General. These special glasses will let you see ads in 3-D during this Sunday's Superbowl....That PETA ad woulda been something to see huh? Broccoli, Squash and Eggplant just bursting out the screen! Enjoy the big game, I'm predicting a Steelers victory, but it's always great to see the underdogs win!
