The Mollusk

Hey little boy, whatcha got there?
kind sir it's a mollusk i've found
did you find it in the sandy ground?
does it emulate the ocean's sound?
yes I found it on the ground
emulating the ocean's sound
bring forth the mollusk cast unto me
let's be forever let forever be free
Hey little boy come walk with me
and bring your new found mollusk along
does it speaketh of the trinity
can it gaze at the sun with its wandering eye
yes it speaks of the trinity
casting light at the sun with its wandering eye
bring forth the mollusk, cast unto me
let's be forever let forever be free
You see there are three things that spur the mollusk from the sand
the waking of all creatures that live on the land
and with just one faint glance, back into the sea
the mollusk lingers, with it's wandering eye...

Sometimes it seems like life is trying to tell you something. For example....this week it started with me going to waterloo with Neka looking for some new music. My current CDs make me cringe when I look at them now....I've out played them all, and I'm bored. I picked up Ween - The Mollusk. I love Ween, always have, they never cease to spark my interest and put me in a good mood. Anyway, the album is called The Mollusk and I started to talk to Neka about the mating ritual of snails (yes, this is a typical date with me) and how the snails are hermaphrodites and they do an unusal thing when they mate....they shoot a "love darts" into one another. Anyway interesting topic...check it out more here. The next day I went to see my little brother...it was his birthday and he just turned 18. We went to go see a movie and he wanted to see Slither. I didn't know what the hell it was about. But man, I really enjoyed that movie. They really don't make horror movies like that anymore. I'm definately going to buy that one when it comes out. "That looks like something that fell off my dick when I was in the war." Random quote from the movie....anyway, great movie...funny. The next day (today) I was doing the usual at work (getting pissed off at Nacho and thinking about pushing him off the 7 story building we're standing on) and I had to go down in this trench that was dug to shoot some points for collums. I started to chip away at some rock and dirt and I found this (well, this isn't the actual pic because it's a real hassle to upload my pictures onto this computer...anyway it looks like that.)....a prehistoric mollusk. Pretty kick ass, I've never found anything like this before. But yeah....why is it that I'm encountering molluscan things every day? Perhaps I should geek out on these guys for awhile and give the spiders a break. They are interesting. For instance....think about it.....how can these guys possibly survive? They're soft, slow, and easy to kill. Seems like easy prey for insects such as ants. But they're not....snail and slug defences lie in their slime. They use their slime to move and to mate...but they use a differant type to slime to protect. If an ant bites a slug...the slug excreats the defence slime which gums the ants mouth shut and glues him to the ground. The ant dies most horribly...and all of his friends laugh at him. Anyway, that's about all I have for now...check RB's blog for the wedding wrap up. I didn't get any pictures from it and I don't recall much....I wonder why?
