HAIR
With a title like that...who needs enemies?
I've been thinking, which is something I do, of growing out my hair for a certain couple's wedding. My uncle apparently is doing the same, either that or he's got issues...probably both considering he's MY uncle.
ANYWAY, I just wanted to take a poll of sorts...to see if everyone thinks I should continue stuffing my hair inside my hat until it's long enough to pass for a Jedi Master...(no offense Master Windu)
Maybe I should post a picture of my hair at this moment to give you an idea of what you are about to vote on... brace yourself...
sooo...this is about how long it is now...wet.
And this is after head-banging for a sew seconds
I kinda like this style
dude...I am so vain.
lookat dat! It's like the cover of a bad celebrity gossip magazine, complete with celebrity in mid-sentence.
I really don't know why I put these things on my blog...
anyway...comment below..
"Let it grow!" or "Shave it all off!"

Longest, most pointless video ever...watch at your own peril.
Last night, I bought a video camera from a guy on Craig's list. We met him by an ATM at McDonalds in Norwood. Being a new camera, we couldn't just let it sit there on the ride home.....soo....

Haggis Myths:
It is in the nature of the haggis that it should be a creature shrouded in mystery. Over the years many misconceptions have developed about these reclusive creatures. Here we are happy to debunk the most common myths and set the record straight.
A haggis is just a sheep’s stomach stuffed with meat and oatmeal.
The most common mistaken belief about the haggis is that it is some kind of pudding made from sheep innards. This somewhat macabre idea dates back many centuries. Its origins lie in a Pictish fertility ceremony which featured a parade of creatures known to produce large numbers of offspring. The haggis was one such animal. However, as hunting techniques were not as sophisticated as they were then and - for reasons explained in The Haggis in Scotland’s History - haggis numbers were low, the Pictish priests often had to make do with a model for these ceremonies. Said model haggis was made from an inflated sheep bladder, hence the myth.
They have one leg shorter than another.
This misconception originated with a respected English commentator. However, the haggis’s legs are all the same size. Any apparent difference in length could be due to the haggis’s habit of standing in a bog to confuse predators. Quite why this would confuse a predator is unclear as the haggis would be unable to run away, being as it is stuck in a bog.
Its hurdies are like a distant hill.
A haggis is rarely larger than a foot long. It has a gentle rounded shape and a soft consistency. How it is like a geological feature quite escapes us. Suilven is a distant hill. It is 2,399 feet high and made from unforgiving glacier-scarred rock. Pretty unhaggislike, you would agree. We suspect that this one is down to poetic licence.
Haggii live with the monster in Loch Ness.
This is nonsense. Haggises are not aquatic. They are also extremely wary of any creature larger than them and would not consort with a large carnivore, even one supposed to be mythical. There is also nothing to suggest that there is any truth behind the rumour that swimming with haggises strapped to your feet will prevent monster attacks. There have been no recorded attacks on anyone by the Loch Ness monster, haggis attachments notwithstanding.

Summer Adventures: Sunken Ships off West Arichat Island
Twas late afternoon, I could hear the call of the gulls lost somewhere in the fog above my head. Staring out into the small Bay of West Arichat, I saw my two old friends...and I mean OLD.
Last time we came to Arichat my brother and I "Adopted" two, half-sunk, fishing boats as our own. The locals say that the owner, being angry at the Arichat government, stripped the boats and skipped town, leaving them to rot in the water, and in turn, making the island look trashy. But to us, it was as good as finding a treasure chest...
Two silent hulls sit low in the watery mist.
Jon and I, along with our cousins and Aunt Cari, took a little reunion tour the night we arrived
the hallway at high-ish tide: half underwater.
At high tide...there isn't much room to wander around. you had to find "stepping stones" to make your way across the boats.
The next day, high tide again...maybe we'll come back at low tide..
...Ahhh...that's more like it! Now we can explore!
All sorts of cool stuff
Remember that hallway that was underwater? Yeah...this is the same one at low tide.
Poor guy couldn't make it out before the water went down.
"sooo...think we can get it running?"
"Duuude! Look at this!"
We spent a good ten minutes pulling this thing off the side of the boat with a bucket tied to an old rope. Biggest Starfish I have EVER seen.
"It's sucking out my brains!!!"
Man the guns!
"You know...I bet we could make a zipline from this tower to the front of the boat"
So that's what we did!
rigging up the rope
Tying it off
Tadah!

Tadah!Now, this falls under that category of "Things that look fun, but can kill you dead." No one was willing to bet their life that an old rope that had been soaking in salt water for a few years could safely carry them over all the dangerous metal objects strewn on the deck. So we used this huge cannon ball thing tied to a pulley...it worked BEAUTIFULLY! I was pretty proud of our work. We were just about to forcefully tie my cousin to the pulley when some locals told us that if the Powers That Be found us here...we would be fined $2,000. Even though we could have made a killing (pun intended) charging $50 a person to ride the Zip-Line of Death...we decided it wasn't worth the black marks on our records...so that was the end of our Sunken Boat Adventure.
As we were leaving...we finally noticed this...doh!

Plymouth Plantation 2007
Twas a rainy morning in the small quiet town of Plainville, MA. Friends from upstate New York (Mark & Tina, Emily and Sarah Hankins) were visiting for a few days. We decided to take them to Plymouth Plantation for the day....rain or shine....or rain.
Glimpses of the sun before we head out
protecting our fortress from alien invaders
Just try and get us
I say...is that mother way down yonder?
a common item in colonial houses: The Bible
Can't remember this guys name...I'll just call him The Hoe Man
We had to be the ones to tell this man that he gets hung in the near future...Mr. Billington took it surprisingly well.
Art
The Bradfords
Cool dude building a house
Chillin in da Wig-Wam
Da Wig-Wam
hmmm...Sarah says, She doesn't look seaworthy to me...I'm not getting in!
This guy must have been cooooold....brrrrr!
Art
Art-full-ish
Jon chats with a woman who struggles with Narcolepsy
Thatching the roof
A leprechaun (William Brewster) & his daughter-in-law
More art-full-ish stuff
Art
nice warm fire...
mmmmm...toasty
Alas, we must leave this place...
Farewell 17th century
On the road again...
