12/26/2002: Christmas Poll Results…

Christmas has come and gone, and I’ll be reverting the main page back to it’s usual blue form in just a little while. I know, I know – I still haven’t finished the advent calendar. I’m up to December 20th day, so there’s just four more to go. Don’t worry, I won’t give up when we’re this close. I’ll let you know here when it’s completely finished. For now, let’s take a look at the results of the Christmas poll that was on the main page throughout this month…

Who is your favorite Christmas icon?

Goddamn Jesus is the winner, with 1003 votes.
Ralphie takes home the silver medal with 921 votes. (my choice)
Baxter Stockman flies into third with 799 votes.

The rest: Somebody More Jewish (518 votes), Charlie Brown (367 votes), Santa Claus (343 votes), Frosty (200 votes), Rudolph (153 votes), and Charlie Mahogany is your big loser with 56 votes. Still impressive since Charlie Mahogany doesn’t exist.

There’s a new article up, about owl vomit! If you click ‘more’, you’ll see a screencap of the Christmas design for nostalgia’s sake once it’s gone.

I remember the owl vomit from science class. Of course, our school had no budget, so we got to watch the teacher do this on one piece. Yay School!

I remember having to dissect an owl pellet in 5th grade. I also remember it not being wonderfully enjoyable. On the up side, my allergies were (and still are) pretty bad, so I didn’t have to deal with the smell of it because my nose was stuffed up. It was a good thing, too, since we were doing it right before lunch…

I remember dissecting these at some point. I think it might have been in the nerdy summer-school things I always did (it was just like school, but during the summer, and worth no credit. hooray!).

I came in late that day, and everyone said they were owl pellets, and just assumed I knew what that meant. I didn’t, though.

Anyway, wedissected them, and then glued the bits on to paper and drew around them to make little scenes. I think I made mine driving a car. Either that or standing next to a Christmas tree.

Fuzzy memories.

We discected owl pellets in this "Science Club" we had in grammer school. It was kinda neat, or boring, one of them. We did get to keep the bones though, and I think I have mine somewhere around here (I was in 4th grade, so, they might be gone).

About two weeks after that, the club got disbanded. I’m not sure why, but from what I heard, the 7th or 8th graderes were jelious that they couldn’t join, so some of them broke into the room, grabbed all the animals, and flushed them down the toilets. Five hampsters, two guinnie(sp?) pigs, and two rabbits, one of which was blind in one eye. :(

I hope those bastards are rotting in Hell.

That was a cool article, I like stuff like that more more!

Ah yes…. owl pellets. I remember many years back, in my sixth grade science club field trip, we visited this nature reserve. This horrifically old and pot-bellied man couldn’t stop talking about the pellets. This all would be fairly dull if he hadn’t explained (and showed to us!) that the best way to remove bones and other goodies from the pellet was by using your mouth. Yes, the man willingly chewed on owl pellets to extract bones. He explained there was nothing toxic in the pellets, but does that really make it necessary? I’ll stick with my toothpick if the situation ever comes up again in life, and i know it will.

Damn. I wish I was lucky enough to dissect owl pellets back in grade school. I didn’t get to dissect anything until I was in the 11th grade, and that was only because my science teacher made a deal with me that if I didn’t show up late to her class anymore, she’d get me something special for the next quarter. I bit, and god-damn!, did she follow through! I got my very own cat, which also happened to be pregnant at the time of her internment. So, I spent an entire quarter separate from the rest of the class, in a tiny little room, reeking of formaldehyde, cutting up a dead cat. Ah, the memories of Lucky and I….. By the way, I don’t hate cats, but I know damn well that I could never cut up a dog.

If you think Owl Pellets are bad, I had to dissect a pig uterus in anatomy class in my senior year of highschool. Pigs have really big uteruses, actually. It was big enough to cover most of the lab table(about 2-3 regular school desks) and they all had fetal pigs inside (whole litters, we had extra credit go to whoever "delivered" the most).

I don’t think the school does that stuff anymore, because someone stole a fetal pig and made it a hood ornament on some girl’s car. This was near summer, mind you, and in California. Lets say the little piggy didn’t smell like bacon by the time she got to the car.
