Huge Big Boy
This giant statue, on loan from some HQ is parked on the lawn at this recently remodeled Azar's. They added a drive-thu. It was fairly fast.
The statue actually got honks and hoots from drivers waiting at the light.
"Actually sir, he was never really gone. He still offer quality food at ..."*
I believe that he's about 17' tall, but I'm not sure. It certainly got attention. It was just so odd, that I had to take a photo.

Crawling
I got the chance to see a fairly rare event ... a cicada crawling before its molt. I saw one on the tree, thinking that it was a husk/molt I removed it and dropped it on my neice. She had been holding them and putting them on the tree, so I was surpirsed when she screamed. She said that it was still moving. I could hardly believe it, but it was. She grabbed the crawler and I put it back on the tree. This is one of a few shots I got of it. Others are on my flickr account.
I didn't see it erupt from the tree. Moments after that, my neice found the carcass of one. It was headless. I know that there are some wasps that specifically target these insects. I'm not sure what killed it.

Scott's
Oh, sure. Just go straight down Lafontaine Avenue, left onto Inferior Blvd. , right onto Bush Street, then left onto Terra Haute Lane. I think when you're close, you'll know.

not between friends
How to lose friends or kill enemies. Eat these like rice, measured in cups dry to fan away fans. Destroy them by giveng them tons of these. Soon, they will buy air from anyone, regardless of price.
It's the new BK friendless meal ... 2 orders of large onion rings, BBQ sauce and chilli.
According to one source, the Outback Onion:
Dipping Sauce
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 teaspoons ketchup
2 tablespoons cream-style horseradish
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon dried oregano
Dash ground black pepper
Dash cayenne pepper
The Onion
1 egg
1 cup milk
1 cup all-purpose flour
11/2 teaspoons salt
1 1/2 teaspoons cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground black
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
1/8 teaspoon dried thyme
1/8 teaspoon cumin
1 giant Spanish onion (3/4 pound or more)
Vegetable oil for frying pepper

Movies Grim(m)
Brothers Grimm: Fairy tales with darkness. It's interesting that they had Heath Ledger in "fairy tales" as he was later in Brokeback Mountain, but I don't think I'll further that.
The movie was darker, less light and less levity, than the previews led me to believe. I would rate it a 4.7 overall based on conept, use of suspense, character development, acting, special effects. 4.7 is not a good ranking ranking from me, though I give few high numbers. I won't watch it again, as my score here shows, in that the suspense will be gone, few elements were worthy of watching twice and I never gave a care about any of the characters. The most notable person was Johnathan Pryce.
I saw on I-am-bored.com that Rocky 6; Rocky Balboa, is coming. How can I be sure, there are trailers. It is a cold hard fact that sheep were stupid. So, I'm sure there are some sheep who will see it, as they saw I (good), II (okay) III, IV, V -- that's just courteous to see it. Apparently the phrase, "there is no tomorrow" wasn't remembered.
"Tomorrow never dies", I guess, was the phrase remembered.
