bike ride

the weather was finally nice enough to go for a long ride today : ) rode all over the place, then stopped kinda near the plaza and relaxed on a bench in the sun for half an hour. i haven't got to enjoy being outside in months; i was thrilled.

the west bottoms

here's a pair of pics from google street view of the creepy KC West Bottoms, and a huge warehouse that they call "The Edge of Hell."
(took me a while to hunt it down on street view, as the address on file for "The Edge Of Hell, Kansas City, MO" doesn't take you to the right side of the warehouse.)




and here's me there earlier this year, when we stumbled upon it while leaving the circus. no joke.
(i'm the one groveling for mercy and begging the gargoyle not to eat me)



click around in the map to explore the west bottoms yourself:

neat graphic

The relative sizes of, and distance between, Earth and Moon, to scale, with a beam of light travelling between them at the speed of light.

a quote from a forum (edited for clarity):

Me and a few friends attempted to naked ninja someone last night(refer to bottom of post).

We went into the wrong room, the room of someone none of us knew, and he got incredibly angry with us.

He came downstairs with a fucking sword (yes...a fucking sword) swearing that he would cut all of our wieners off. He proceeded to call us a bunch of "fucking indie faggots"...we laughed...he cried...the end.

Naked Ninja - Trying to run, naked except for only a belt, into a room where a friend is having sex.
