Back to the islands this Friday! Yesterday I saw this video clip on both weather.com and cnn.com. Seems Isaac was fishing off Oahu minding his own business, when “Chompy” decided he wanted to fish too! From the end of Isaac’s pole!
When I looked at it yesterday there were 400,000 plus views. This morning, 1.9 million. Chompy has a lot of fans. Enjoy your weekend and have a great Quirky Friday!

Been trying to get myself into some kind of shape for this summer that doesn’t resemble a dud spud. Who better to turn to for fitness tips than the U. S. Marines? Seems even when they play, it involves mud and running. I particularly like the different outfits, the tutus rock, and the free shower at the end.
Writers need to have fun, exercise and get some fresh air in our heads, so maybe this is one way. Or a simple trip to the gym works too. Check out how the Marines play in Oahu! Happy Quirky Friday!

This Sunday many folks will be celebrating Easter. But almost everyone can use it as a great excuse to eat chocolate. I am a huge rabbit fan and the Easter Bunny and I go way back. Growing up my neighbors had a pet rabbit and we had a wild rabbit show up in our backyard. Love those bunnies!
This fixation of mine created some interesting moments while traveling in Istanbul, Turkey in 1983. I was collecting a rabbit figurine in each of the 16 countries on our organized camping tour. My 27 camper buds were always on the lookout for rabbits for me even though one former Australian sailor referred to it as “Bunny Hell.” I think he was kidding.
Needless to say, at the Grand Bazaar in Istanbul the whole “bunny rabbit” concept was not getting across. I was making ear signs and hopping and doing all sorts of things to try to get my message across. The vendors kept shoving camel and cat figurines at me. No bunnies. It wasn’t until later we thought maybe there are no rabbits in Turkey. Who knows?
But we have very special rabbits here in Oregon as part of the Endangered Species Program. Along with the Oregon Zoo’s work breeding California Condors we have the mighty Dwarf Pygmy Rabbits. They have returned bunnies to the wild since this video, but here is an intro on Dwarf Pygmy Rabbits 101. Happy Quirky Friday. Go bunnies!

Who can believe a short three months ago the fabulous Lily entered our lives at the Oregon Zoo. This feisty young lady stole our hearts and is making a name for herself as a fearless go-getter. Seems she has a talent for smearing camera lenses too. She’s a pistol!
Check out her most recent baby book video showing how fast she is becoming a big girl. Kids these days, they’re growing like weeds!
Happy Quirky Friday!

The end of another busy week and time for Quirky Friday. In between gearing up for spring cleaning and getting the dreaded taxes finished, anyone up for a game of golf? Never golfed myself, but these kangaroos thought the nice green fairways were the perfect place to grab some snacks.
Best of luck to the two news anchors trying to get through this story about the marsupial invasion of the Australian Women’s Open. Not sure how they mark that on the scoring cards, but I do believe the kangaroos get to play through! Fore! Happy Quirky Friday!

There may not be much creativity in Washington, D.C. these days, but this country rocks when it comes to up and coming filmmakers. Found this gem on YouTube and it made me smile. Besides a good three act storyline complete with character arc, these GPs have got some darn good firing skills.
When the going gets crazy in this country, the crazy go to the Guinea Pigs! Happy Quirky Friday everybody!
