First of all, with the 5th anniversary of 9-11 behind us, I hope everyone took some time to remember those lives lost in New York, Washington DC and Pennsylvania on that tragic day.
And now...
BOOBS!
For those of you that haven't yet, go check out the newest set from the lovely Bowie!
Second of all, I am now the proud owner of the Bill Hicks group, The Puppet People, after taking over the group from everyone's favorite Scotsman, pAuLy. I hope to make it just as great and active a group as he did, and I'm flattered he felt I was worthy of the job.

How was everyone's weekend? Mine was spent being a lazy-ass sitting on this comp, browsing SG and playing City of Heroes. The most work I did was move stuff up from the sty I call an apartment to the attic space.
Plus, it would seem your Humble Narrator has broken his garbage disposal...again. When Satanic-looking black water rises up from it, then water drips from the bottom of it...yeah, that's not good. Thankfully, I live in an apartment complex where the office is really good about repairs (and it doesn't hurt that I've known the office ladies since I was 10). So, as I type this, I'm waiting on the maintenance guy to come fix it so I can do the dishes before I go back for the 2nd half of my shift @work.
Ah, my job. Remind me to avoid customer service gigs in the future if I can help it. People calling 411 are such friggin' douchebag tardy-tards sometimes. I'm still holding out hope that they'll put a button on my keyboard that I can press so the "brown note" plays on their end of the phone. Then hilarity on MY end will ensue.
Why? Because I'm a bastard that way. But you all ♥ me something fierce, so it's all good.
Kisses!

Tom doesn't like the onset of fall. Fall leads into winter. And winter leads into Tom cursing a blue streak w/each flake of snow that falls on his summer-lusting head.
I swear, if I win big $$$, I'm movin' to the friggin' desert of Arizona or New Mexico. I'll get a big ole' cactus, string it w/Xmas lights, and all will be well.
And from the looks of it, I should get a cheeky light-up armadillo, too.
Fuck winter up its smelly goat ass. That is all.

It's been a while, so I think it's time for another installment of everyone's favorite Freak Journal Segment!
KNOW YOUR MONKEYS
Capuchin
The capuchins are the group of New World monkeys classified as genus Cebus. Their name comes from their coloration, which resembles the cowls worn by the Capuchin order of Roman Catholic friars. Cebus is the only genus in subfamily Cebinae.
The range of the capuchin monkeys includes Central America (Honduras) and middle South America (middle Brazil, eastern Peru, Paraguay).
Capuchins generally resemble the friars of their namesake. Their body, arms, legs and tail are all darkly (black or brown) colored, while the face, throat and chest are white colored, and their head has a black cap. This general pattern varies from species to species, as well as among individuals within a species. They reach a length of 30 to 56 cm (12 - 22 inches), with tails that are just as long as the body. They weigh up to 1.3 kg (2 lb, 13 oz).
Like most New World monkeys, capuchins are diurnal and arboreal. With the exception of a midday nap, they spend their entire day searching for food. At night they sleep in the trees, wedged between branches. They are undemanding regarding their habitat and can thus be found in many differing areas. Among the natural enemies of the capuchins are large falcons, cats and snakes.
The diet of the capuchins is more varied than other monkeys in the family Cebidae. They are omnivores, eating not only fruits, nuts, seeds and buds, but also insects, spiders, bird eggs and small vertebrate. Capuchins living near water will also eat crabs and shells by cracking their shells with stones.
Easily recognized as the "organ grinder" monkeys, capuchins are also kept as pets, even when import of these animals is forbidden and in spite of assertions by some that monkeys are unsuitable as domestic animals. Zoos and circuses often keep capuchins as well. Sometimes they plunder fields and crops and are seen as troublesome by nearby human populations. In some regions they have become rare due to the destruction of their habitat.
