*Jeff Foxworthy voice*
If you child stops eating baguettes...he may be a jihadi.
The French post a warning advisory of ways to detect Islamisation of good French people:
Jeff Foxworthy could do a whole comedy routine based on this.
If you catch your son having sex with local goats...he may be a jihadi.
If you catch your son burning down synagogues...he may be a jihadi.
If your son replies to an inquiry of how school was with "Allahu Akbar!"...he may be a jihadi.

Donkey Milk and Horse Oil!
Sounds like a curse, doesn't it? In fact, it's the latest Korean skin care fad.
Donkey milk is self-explanatory, but horse oil? A Google search reveals that it's rendered from fat found under a horse's mane.

Bottle Message: Olympic Peninsula, WA - Haida Gwaii, BC
A couple searching for glass fishing net balls found it.
It was dropped by a professional surfer who was competing in a tournament, and lives in Hawaii. The bottle traveled several hundred miles to end up in British Columbia:
Ever dropped a bottle message? Everyone should do it at least once. I've done it several times, and had a fair amount of success at recoveries. I include a $5 or $10 bill to encourage replies and reward the finder.

They're Breeding Like Rabbits!
"Another nun gives birth in Italy."
No note in the article if it was a virgin birth.
Pope Francis will be disappointed, he said recently that Catholics didn't need to breed like rabbits.

It's January, So...
...that means that our neighborhood pair of Red-Shouldered Hawks are in my front yard, looking for cold-numbed earthworms to eat:
In previous years January has been so cold that the worms have actually been wormsicles, which the hawks seem to like as a crunchy treat. It's been mild this year, so the worms are chewy rather than crunchy. Hawk equivalent of bacon, I reckon. Chewy or crunchy, it's all good.

More Hopes Of Finding the "Lost Colony"
Follow-up to this post of mine from 2012.
"Researchers hopeful N.C. site is that of Lost Colony."
To summarize, archaeologists have done some digging and they're hopeful that the site shown in an ancient map is the site of Sir Walter Raleigh's Lost Colony (pic of map follows, with star-shaped area the current site of interest)

Son, Have You Rehabilitated Yourself?
Answer is NO.
A police officer shot and severely injured a convicted murderer who was stabbing a clerk working the night shift at a QuikTrip convenience store, investigators said.
He murdered his mother and went to prison for it, now he's stabbing random convenience store clerks, so back to prison with him. Would have been cheaper to US society if the cop had put one in his brain.

Not My Year So Far
Sorry for the absence. I spent last week at the hotel while my car was being worked on - - or not worked on, mostly, the majority of the week it was just waiting to be worked on, and I didn't feel up to posting anything. 2015 was going to be The Year I Acquired A New Car (or newer than 1993, anyway), funded by my tax refund and a little bit of savings, but my old car isn't cooperating in the plan, and wants me to spend it all on itself, instead. And now a tooth is making distressing twinges in my mouth, so that will have to be addressed, as well. Living paycheck to paycheck is biting me in the ass so far in 2015.

Sweet Work At a Sweet Duty Station
That would be the old Navy rate of Photographer's Mate, which used to be taught at NAS Pensacola, Florida.
The US Navy is celebrating its 100th year of Naval Photography, and this Stars and Stripes story looks back at the history.
The Photographer's Mate school at Pensacola was in high demand always, a fun job with civilian applications for after the Navy career was over, at one of the nicer US Naval facilities.

Where Do Criminal Get Their Guns?
I'd guess that most of the criminals in the Charlotte region get them from the woman in this article.
Here is her North Carolina offender information, scroll down and look at all the stolen gun offenses: suspect.

Don't Mess With Rufus
Rufus chop you up.
MEMPHIS, Tenn. — A Whitehaven woman, armed with a machete, took on a man who tried breaking into her home in the 5000 block of Horn Lake.
“I was swinging my machete thinking, ‘Chop him! Chop him! Chop him!'” Cheryl Nibley said.
She sprang into action Tuesday afternoon when she heard someone breaking into her house. “As I was talking to the police on the phone I was hearing my window coming up in my bedroom,” she said. “So I’m telling the police that he’s coming in the house! He’s coming in the house!”
As the window went up, Nibley brought her machete down over and over again. She has even given the machete a name, calling it Rufus. “Say hello to my little friend,” she teased, holding a foot-long knife up. “I chopped the blinds up. I chopped him up. I chopped the bed up.”
The video is hilarious:

Indoctrination Chronicles #15: Don't Read That Bible
A Missouri schoolteacher won't let a student read the Bible during free time.
These days the First Amendment is under just as much attack from Leftists as the Second is, unfortunately.

An Unusual Crime...
...but the usual suspects.
They poached 900 wild Venus' Flytrap plants. The wild plants are on the endangered species list, and only grow in a small area of coastal North Carolina.

Good New & Bad News
Good news is that scientists think that whale genes could help us live to 200 years old.
Bad news is you have to eat plankton and krill.

Wrong Word
"Gun violence fuels 40 percent surge in Charleston-area killings."
Let me fix that up for you:
Black violence fuels 40 percent surge in Charleston-area killings.
There, that's more accurate and the root of the problem.

Feral Humans
Feral black humans, to be precise.
I think it's getting worse, which is why white people acquiring CCW license are on the rise.
It's probably good at this point to re-emphasize John Derbyshire's Rules:
(10) Thus, while always attentive to the particular qualities of individuals, on the many occasions where you have nothing to guide you but knowledge of those mean differences, use statistical common sense: (10a) Avoid concentrations of blacks not all known to you personally.
(10b) Stay out of heavily black neighborhoods.
(10c) If planning a trip to a beach or amusement park at some date, find out whether it is likely to be swamped with blacks on that date (neglect of that one got me the closest I have ever gotten to death by gunshot).
(10d) Do not attend events likely to draw a lot of blacks.
(10e) If you are at some public event at which the number of blacks suddenly swells, leave as quickly as possible.
(10f) Do not settle in a district or municipality run by black politicians.
(10g) Before voting for a black politician, scrutinize his/her character much more carefully than you would a white.
(10h) Do not act the Good Samaritan to blacks in apparent distress, e.g., on the highway.
(10i) If accosted by a strange black in the street, smile and say something polite but keep moving.
Want to call me a racist? Fine, I'm a racist. If you don't heed these principles, though, don't blame me when you are victimized.

Happy New Year
Happy New Year to my readers. As is the case most years, I'm at work as I type this. My mom while she was alive would always call at midnight and wish me a happy new year; I miss that, and her. I wish all of you the best for the upcoming year.
