| Below: The gritty details. Sausage by its very nature is full of stuff most of us would prefer not to know about but this boasts of Pork Spleen and Mechanically Separated Chicken. Click photo to enlarge. |
| Above:: I found this little gem at a 99 cent store in Garden Grove. The erie lable is reminicent of a canned good from the 50's, which is why I plunked down the 49 cents to buy it because heaven knows I would never eat this stuff. (yes I collect weird canned goods) |

| Above Left: My Mexican girlfriend is pretty hip on all the good places to get great Mexican food but there was just something really disturbing about the window painting at this place. Note that all the pigs are smiling. Out of frame to the right are two large shrimp sitting at a booth eating shrimp cocktail. "Taqueria", by the way, is basicaly spanish for taco-stand. |

| Above: It's crazy, the stuff you find on a lot when a double-wide has moved out. The dirt beneath seems "sour" as described in the book " Pet Cemetary", and is completly unpolluted by any living plants or even fungi. This mummified Opposum seems to have died and dried out rather than be ravaged by scavengers or insects. Click photos for more ghastly detail. Note the human-like hand clutching the earth below. Sadly, opossums have taken a bad rap by their Rat-like looks but are harmless scavengers that prefer fruit, insects and carrion. They also boast being the least suseptible to rabbies of most animals, including man. More Cool Facts on Opossums www.opossum.org |
| Slacker-Cam FAQ's Q: I can't see a damn thing. A: I sometimes forget to turn on the camera or some idiot will reboot my worthless work computer in my absence. Take heart, there are really a lot of better things to look at on the net. If it is really important to you, you can message me about it on Yahoo messenger. Q: Does your camera latch-up? There are times you don't move for an hour and look catatonic. A: From 11:30-12:30 I play a network game of Starcraft with Engineer-Gary and Tech-Jason. If you think I am lethargic you should see Jason in his eBay stuper. Q: In one frame I see you slouching in front of the computer and the next your arms are in a big cabinet up to your elbows. What gives? A: I am very adept at feigning "looking busy" when I hear my boss walk in to the production area. Q: Who is the skinny guy? A: Tech-Jason. Q: Are you the fat-ass with the goatee? A: Yes. Q: What the hell do you do there? A: We build marking and coding equiptment that use CO2 lasers to burn code on to products. A very high-tech Branding-Iron |

| Left: This creepy-ass little guy was found crossing the road in Baker Canyon, basicly in the middle of knowwhere off Black Star Canyon. Not the least bit shy, it crawled right over my boot. My finger is actually quite far away and put it in as close as I dared for scale. This Tarantua spider is actually about 5-6" across. This variety is harmless to us humans. |
| Right: Ever wonder the fate of old Disneyland attractions? This is the Bertha Mae of the Mike Fink keel boats. She is on blocks at the Dunkle Bros. shipping yard next to my work. Her sister ship the Gullywumper was the one that tipped over in 1997. All guests' survived but the keel boats were taken out of service, seamingly never to return to the Rivers of America. |
 |
| Above: The Bertha Mae is only one of the many strange goings on at Dunkle Bros. This Porche is another. The Dunkle Bros have an elaborate Porche museum in the administation area of their building. |
