How funny!

So I crawled onto a laptop today and found myself too tickled by this picture.

Doodlebugs and Humans

In an effort to understand humanities relationship with doodlebugs better I entered the term doodlebug into their youtube to see how we have influenced their culture. The results were startling.

Pillbugs?!

Pillbugs?! WTF!

Film Review - Straw Dogs ****1/2

Lucky for me, while randomly roaming around nature with no real idea where the fuck I was headed, I ended up on the window of a house whose inhabitants were just starting the DVD of Sam Peckinpah's classic film, "Straw Dogs".

It follows Dustin Hoffman as a bookish mathemitician whose childish wife convinces him to move out to her hometown in the boonies of Great Britain. Her old friends begin to really mess with Dustin Hoffman and the tagline of the movie is "Every Man Has A Breaking Point", so you know it's gonna go down.

Unfortunately I couldn't hear the movie and can't even really understand English. I would have had a lot more interest had they shown some of the local insects. I've never been to Britain and surely they might include a british doodlebug, beetle, or even a bug I haven't seen yet! Here's hoping Peckinpah decides to "bug out" for his next movie!

I strongly recommend Straw Dogs, just know that it's not really about bugs, which may put some bugs off. Me, I just love great movies.

****1/2

SPEAK OUR GOD

Come on, Doodlebugs, let us not forget why we are here. We were put on this earth by our God, Allfather Doodle Bug, pictured below as he sacrifices his life to the evil ones so that our race would not be destroyed.

As the Allfather taught the Early Ones who rode atop his great shell "A Doodlebug's purpose is to Doodle. What does it mean to Doodle? That is up to every Doodlebug to figure out for himself." This is a message that means a lot to me, and I roll and pray everyday for guidance in understanding what Doodling means to me.

I am young and surrounded by those who say the Allfather never existed, that Doodling means nothing. If Doodling is meaningless, then that would make us simply bugs, no better than the Flies in the air or the demon Ants who mindlessly devour everything in their path. No, I say we are better. I say we are more. We are not just bugs, WE ARE DOODLEBUGS!

I am sorry if this got a little intense. It's just that I am very passionate about the things I believe and think we are heading towards a dark time where the pleasures of the shell and an ignorance of the past hold sway over Doodlebug culture. I hope every true Doodlebug is doing his part to turn the tide of ignorance and converting those who think they are only bugs, to Doodlebugs.

REVIEW - The Stump Outside

THE STUMP OUTSIDE


Let me go on record- this stump may be the best place I've ever lived. I wouldn't say it's perfect, but it's close. Read on to find out why.



You can tell just by seeing the images that this stump is easy on the eyes. A few of my doodlefriends have taken to calling it "the grotto", and the name fits. There is a large area surrounding the stump covered by small plants, and traversing my "yard" has been a pleasurable experience. The dirt is soft and the place is largely free from predators, though I was forced to use my doodle armor ability a couple times when I encountered the following monster-



I believe the encounter was a fluke, and I haven't seen the monster in some time.

The inside of the stump is the highlight, I wish I could have gotten pictures but the flash on my camera isn't working. As you can see from the exterior shots, the stump is very large, and while my review may change this, I'll be honest- hardly anyone else lives in the area. I'm not sure how such a good property could be so empty, but as of this writing, it's just me and my doodle friends, along with some beetles and a ladybug. The roots of the stump go pretty deep, and my doodle friends and I have found some pretty incredible spelunking spots.

You're probably wondering why I said the place wasn't quite perfect. The ONLY flaw-


The sprinkler system. Water is fine and good, but the frequent sprinkler use has made for the occasionally muddy day. In the end, given what this place offers, the sprinkler isn't so bad, but I sure hope it squirts less once the heat of summer dies down.

All in all, I can't recommend the stump outside enough, unless you really dislike water.
