Sorry, no Xmas animation this year. Instead I’ll sing you thins lovely Christmas song.

Have yourself a merry little Christmas,
If a fat guy comes in sight
Take his sack of toys,
And beat him in a fight

Have yourself a merry little Christmas,
All your friends are gay,
Grab those reindeer,
And bury their bodies miles away.

Digging holes to bury evidence,
Next to the fence, behind the store.
Faithful friends who were dear to us
Now live in fear of us once more.

Chop up that sleigh
No one can prove a thing,
Get an Alibi
Hope no witness will attempt to sing.
And have yourself A merry little Christmas sting.

MERRY CHRISTMAS 2008 EVERYONE!!!!

\’He didn\’t taste too bad,\’ said Ashish to Victor.
\’I don\’t know,\’ said James. \’Horses eating humans doesn\’t seem right.\’
\’Could have been worse,\’ said Victor. \’Look at those poor heads all lined up on the side of the road.\’
\’Hey,\’ said Ashish. \’I recognise those two. They\’re the ones who had the shovels.\’
\’Well,\’ said James. \’Looks like their enemies caught up with them and beheaded them.\’
\’Shame,\’ said Victor.
\’Yes,\’ agreed Ashish. \’Still, look at the thousands more heads we have to pass.\’
\’I think we did that guy a favour, eating him whilst he was still unconscious,\’ said Victor.
\’He didn\’t seem that unconscious to me,\’ said James. \’The yelling, the screaming, the thrashing about.\’
\’Probably a nightmare,\’ said Ashish.
\’Or night terrors,\’ said Victor.
\’Seems like everywhere we go, death stalks,\’ said James.
\’We still have to work out how to cause a time loop,\’ said Dabidostein.
\’What would Jesus do?\’ asked James.
\’Probably not get caught in a stupid situation like the three of us,\’ said Ashish.
\’Okay,\’ said James. \’Then what would we three do if we got out of this and knew where we were in time?\’
\’I\’d probably hide a time watch for horses under that head over there,\’ said Victor. He wandered over and using his head knocked the head off the side of the road and into a ditch.
\’Nothing there,\’ said James.
\’Probably a good reason for that,\’ said Ashish. \’Because you might use the time watch to send us to some weird dimension. We\’d have to leave it somewhere that a person who knows how to use it will find it.\’
\’What are you saying?\’ asked James.
\’I\’m saying,\’ said Ashish. \’That as the expert in time watches and their use, I\’d leave it where I could find it and not you two.\’
\’How would you know you would find it first,\’ said Victor a little irate. \’It might have been left by me and be under this head.\’
\’Or under this head,\’ said James.
\’I\’d more likely leave it under this head,\’ said Ashish.
To any unsuspecting samurai who may have been passing at that very moment, it would have looked like three horses knocking over ever severed head left on the side of the road in some sort of game of \’guess which cup the pea is under\’. Strangely enough, this was pretty much what was happening.
\’Nothing under here,\’ said Victor.
\’Nothing here either,\’ said Ashish.
\’Do you think we might have got stuck in time forever?\’ asked James.
KICK! \’Not here!\’
NUDGE! \’Not here either.\’
BOOT! \’Ow! That was me!\’
\’Sorry!\’
STOMP STOMP KICK!
STOMP STOMP KICK!
STOMP STOMP KICK!
STOMP STOMP KICK!
\’Buddy your a dead head, a Big Head, a meat head,
Sitting by the road \’cause you got cut off today,
There\’s blood on your face,
Bodies not in place,
Gonna kick your head into outta space,
Singing, We will, we will kick ya!\’
STOMP STOMP KICK!
STOMP STOMP KICK!
\’We will, we will kick ya!\’
STOMP STOMP KICK!
STOMP STOMP KICK!
Stupid you\’re a samurai, a dead guy, a big lie,
Not a single time watch under you\’re head,
Listen what I said, kick you though you\’re dead,
I bet you even used to wet your bed,
Singing, We will, we will kick ya!\’
STOMP STOMP KICK!
STOMP STOMP KICK!
\’We will, we will kick ya!\’
STOMP STOMP KICK!
STOMP STOMP KICK!
Dumb-ass you\’re maggot food, warrior dude, really rude,
Not a hint of where the time watch is hid,
Kick off your lid, not worth a quid,
How many we have to kick till one of them gives?
Singing, We will, we will kick ya!\’
STOMP STOMP KICK!
STOMP STOMP KICK!
\’We will, we will kick ya!\’
STOMP STOMP KICK!
STOMP STOMP KICK!

Whilst the three horses were stomping around and singing, three warriors appeared over the hill.
\’Hmmm,\’ said one. \’Who feels like some horse for dinner tonight?\’
\’I bet you can\’t shoot one from here,\’ said another.
\’I\’ll give it a go,\’ said the first one raising his bow and pointing down towards the horses.

Singing, We will, we will kick ya!\’
STOMP STOMP KICK!
STOMP STOMP KICK!
\’We will, we will…\’ THWACK!!! \’…kick ya!\’
STOMP STOMP KICK!
STOMP STOMP KICK!

\’Um, Ashish?\’ said Victor. \’We might have to stop singing. James has an arrow in his head.\’
\’Buddy you\’re a horse, a smart horse, a …\’ THWACK \’… great horse,
Gonna show how smart you are one day … uh, why have you two stopped singing?\’
Ashish looked around to find both James and Victor lying on the road in pools of blood leaking from arrow shots to their heads. He then looked up at the hill to see the warrior standing there with his bow aimed straight for him.
\’Oooh, boy!\’ he said to himself. \’Simon Cowell! Bloody singing critic!\’
THWACK!!!!!

Rules:- The person who tags you gives you five different words and you have to make five pictures based on those words using MS-Paint only. After doing the tag, you have to tag 5 other people and give them 5 words for their pictures.

• Malaysian Bloggers.
• Elephant Wrestling
• Orangutan bowling.
• Dabido Hippy Dance
• Jeff falling from the roof.

Extremely difficult for two reasons at present.  One, I don\’t have MS-Paint … like, I\’m on Ubuntu, dude.  Second, I\’m extremely lazy and can\’t be bothered drawing at present.  lol

This meme will have to wait till I have more time (energy).  I\’ll do it in one of my Linux drawing packages.  I think TUX paint or something might be MS-Paint equivalent.  But, at present I may have to wait till I\’m back from Malaysia before I actually do this meme.

In the meantime I might tag a few slacko people who haven\’t updated for ten million years.  They can use whatever graphics package they like as far as I\’m concerned.  Even paper and crayons if it suits them. 
First Slacko - Suanie

1. Chinese
2. Happiness (The emotion, NOT someone being happy)
3. Avantgarde
4. Glue
5. Horsehockey

Second Slacko - Lainie

1. Apple MacBook

3. Eurotrip
4. Fantasy Warrior
5. Angst (The emotion, NOT someone being angsty)

3. Sweet (The emotion, NOT someone being sweet and NOT a lolly)
4. Rockband
5. Durian

There, I have managed to tag five people who will most likely all ignore the meme altogether. 

Last minute plans regarding my trip.   My apologies to all those who live in Kuching.
I am cancelling the trip to Kuching now.  Was looking at the plane flights and I need to catch a late flight from Penang to Kuching and an early one out of Kuching to get back to KL for a party I\’m going to.  This leaves me a day to see Kuching, which I beleive is not enough to visit everything I was hoping to see.  Might stay in Penang for an extra day instead.  So, Itinerary will look more like this:

Dec 29th Go to work- Midnight goto Airport.
Dec 30th  - Fly to KLIA, arrive 6:45AM.  Take train to KL and then to MidValley to Hotel.

Dec 31st - No idea what to do during day.  Night time, party like an 18 year old maniac with nothing better to do. 

Jan 1st - Sleeeeep.  Then do something at night.

Jan 2nd to 4th - Site see (where to first? Wildlife sanctuary? Genting Highlands? Malaca?)

Jan 5th - Fly to Penang.

Jan 6th to 8th - Site see.  Fly back to KL on 8th.

Jan 9th - Nokia party.

Jan 10 & 11th - hang out.

Jan 12th - fly back to Perth.

Once again, my apologies to my friends in Kuching.  I will catch up another trip.  Next time I go Kuching instead of Penang.  I was looking forward to visiting with Orangutans etc, but, this will have to be put off just because it is rather expensive to fly into Penang and Kuching and see very little of either.  Sorry.

Everyone else who wants to meet up, will be in Penang and KL on the above dates.  Hope to see you all then. 

\’Woooah!\’ exclaimed Dabidosuteen-san.  \’That horse is mean.  He just kicked those other two, killing them.\’

\’Good thing we still have these shovels,\’ said Jeimisu-san.  \’Protection against wild mad horses.\’

\’What about that guy lying on the ground?\’ asked Dabidosuteen-san.  \’ Who do you think he is?\’

\’I don\’t know,\’ said Jeimisu-san.  \’I can\’t even remember who I am!\’

\’Eh?\’ asked Dabidosuteen-san.  \’That is very strange.  Everyone knows who they are.\’

\’Really?\’  asked Jeimisu-san.  \’Then who are you?\’

\’Eh?  Me?  Oh, that is the weirdest feeling.  I can\’t remember.\’

\’Ah, so it isn\’t just me.\’

\’Look out,\’ cried Dabidosuteen.  \’That horse is looking at us.\’

\’Keep your shovel ready, he might charge.\’

\’Why do we have shovels?\’

\’Maybe we are grave diggers.  Maybe we are going to bury that guy lying on the ground over there.\’

\’ Oh, good idea,\’ said Dabidosuteen-san.   \’I think he looks like some sort of warrior.  Maybe he died in battle.\’

SNORT!

\’Eh!\’ exclaimed Jeimisu-san.  \’He just snorted in his sleep and rolled over.  Maybe he is the owner of the killer horse.\’

\’I think you are right,\’ agreed Dabidosuteen-san.  \’Maybe he is a killer warrior with a killer horse out to kill us poor grave diggers and take our shovels.\’

\’That horse is looking at me,\’ said Jeimisu-san with a slight cry of trepidation in his voice.

\’I think you\’re right,\’ said Dabidosuteen-san.  \’He is looking hungry.\’

\’You think he might be one of those horses that eats people?\’

\’I have heard of vampire cows in this area, but not much about ogre horses.\’

\’You think he is an ogre horse?\’

\’Yes,\’ confirmed Dabidosuteen-san.  \’He is an evil demon rife ogre horse with a million sharp teeth and a hunger for human flesh.\’

\’Okay,\’ said Jeimisu-san.  \’Let\’s run away then.\’

Before he could finish the sentence both had turned and run away.

‘What happened?’ asked Victor.

‘What are you talking about?’ asked James.

‘I have no idea,’ said Victor.  ‘I seem to have amnesia.’

‘Might be from a hit to the head,’ said James.  ‘Look, see.  Two guys lying over there with what looks like they hit each other in the head with shovels.’

‘Could have been that,’ said Victor.  ‘But, I seem to have rope tied to me.’

‘And we seem to be tied to that other horse lying over there.’

‘The one with te guy squished beneath it?’

‘That’s the one,’ said James.

‘Wonder why it’s not getting up?’ asked Victor.

‘Maybe it was hit in the head as well,’ said James.

‘Well, if those guys hit us in the head,’ said Victor.  ‘I wonder if we should give them a quick kick ourselves.  Just whilst they are already knocked out.  They’d never know it was us.’

‘Too late,’ said James.  ‘They just got up.’

‘So did that other horse,’ said Victor.

‘Where am I?’ asked Ashish.

‘Don’t know,’ said Victor.

‘No idea,’ said James.

‘Now I remember,’ said Ashish.  ‘We’re in medieval Japan.  We’ve been travelling backwards in time, and getting reincarnated as all sorts of things along the way.’

‘Completely nuts,’ said Victor.

‘Extremely completely nuts,’ agreed James with a nod.

‘No,’ cried Ashish.  ‘You have to listen to me.  We have to cause a time loop to encapsulate the error of us dying, then things will return to normal.’

‘We just got a hit to the head,’ snorted Victor.  ‘I don’t remember dying.’

‘And what’s quantum mechanics got to do with horses anyway?’ asked James.

‘Ah, see,’ said Ashish.  ‘Why would a horse know I was talking about quantum mechanics if they didn’t already know what quantum mechanics was?’

‘So,’ said James.  ‘I might have a degree in physics.’

‘A horse with a degree in physics?’ asked Ashish.  ‘You don’t think that’s a little peculiar?’

‘Not at all,’ said Victor.  ‘I have a doctorate in medicine.’

‘Think about it,’ said Ashish.  ‘Doctorates in medicine?  You both don’t really believe horses can get doctorates in medicine do you?’

‘Of course we do,’ said James a little hesitantly.  ‘I have a vague notion I recieved one at some time … though I can’t remember when or how.’

‘Ah, wait,’ said Ashish.  ‘There is a quicker way to do this.’

‘He’s turning around,’ said James.  ‘WHy do you think he’s doing that?’

‘Maybe he’s going to fart at us,’ said Victor.  ‘It’d be very rude if he does.’

Then, before either Victor or James could react, Ashish lifted both hind legs off the ground and planted a hoof each square in the middle of each of their foreheads.  They both fell unconscious to the ground.

We Interrupt This Story … My Faithful Readers from Malaysia, just so I can get an idea as to WHO if anyone wants to meet up in Penang and Kuching and WHICH days/nights suit people.  I just want to get a good idea so I can book my accommodation and flights from KL to each location.
I arrive in KL on the morning of the 30th of December.  I will hopefully get to go out that night with some people.  31st I will hopefully rest up a little ready for a BIG NIGHT at Blanc Le Club\’s New Years Eve Party.  The 1st I will probably recover from raucus dancing and other NYE evil behaviour.

This means from Friday the 2nd to 12th I have an OPEN SCHEDULE.  Please help me close some of days off by finding me things to do in or near your home towns to do.  Yes, by all means talk amongst yourselves to organise blogger meets [put out posters - Meet Dabido in Person … and throw tomatoes at him] and other activities.

If your area is famous for something … Orangutan rides, Elephant wrestling, Monkey baiting … then PLEASE, PLEASE get a small group together and POST IT HERE so I don\’t get a clashing schedule.

Remember, I WANT to go to Penang and Kuching for a few days each, SO PLEASE tell me when it suits you.  I will probably do them back to back (ie fly to either Kuching and then Penang or to Penang and then Kuching).

I will make a TENTATIVE schedule of this and tell me if this is a BAD idea (or try to sort yourselves to work around it).

How about I travel to Penang on the 5th and stay there till the night of the 6th, then fly to Kuching on the 7th and stay there till the morning of the 9th and fly back to KL that day.  Does this suit Penangites and KuchiKuchiKooites ????

Those dates again -

5th Fly KL to Penang

7th Fly Penang to Kuching

9th Fly Kuching to KL

OR [just to chuck a monkey amongst the monkey wrenches], should I just fly out to Kuching and spend three or four days there?

Any arrangements requiring eating, remember I am a  vegetarian.  Rambutans and durian are welcome.

IDEAS?  SUGGESTIONS?  MONKEY SOCCER ANYONE?

\’This is dreadful,\’ said Victor.  \’We seemed to have gone back in time.  Something bad has happened in order to have us reincarnating backwards.\’

\’We could hit Ashish over the head and see if he has an explanation,\’ said James.

\’With what?\’ asked Victor.  \’We\’ve only got hoofs.  How do we pick up something to hit him with.\’

\’Wait a second,\’ said Ashish.  \’Which one of us are we hitting on the head?\’

\’You,\’ said James.

\’Shhhh,\’ said Victor.  \’I was going to surprise him.\’

\’It\’s not like hic-cups,\’ said James.  \’You dont\’ need to surprise them in order to do it.  You just hit them.\’

\’Wait a minute,\’ said Ashish.  \’Why were you going to hit me over the head?\’

\’To get rid of your amnesia,\’ said Victor.

\’Amnesia just means I\’ve forgotten my past.  It doesn\’t mean I\’ve gone completely stupid,\’ screamed Ashish.

\’His gone histerical,\’ said James.  \’Quick, hit him.\’

\’Oh, no,\’ cried Ashishura-san.  \’My horse seems to have gone hysterical.\’

\’Give him a good hit over the head,\’ suggested Jeimisu-san.  \’That usually quiets them down a little.\’

Before anyone could say anything more Dabidosuteen-san had pulled a wooden sword out of a scabard and hit Ashish over the head.  Ashish\’s eyes rolled and he fell to the ground with Ashishura-san not able to dismount in time.  Ashishura-san\’s leg got caught beneath the horse and the ground.

\’Arrrgh,\’ Ashishura-san screamed.  \’Get it off me.  It hurts.\’

\’We could cut his leg off,\’ suggested Jeimisu-san.

\’You could cut the horse in half,\’ yelled Ashishura-san.  \’It would be easier on me, you know!\’

\’Horse might be more useful alive,\’ said  Dabidosuteen-san to Jeimisu-san.

\’But how long will it be out for?\’ asked Jeimisu-san.

\’Don\’t know,\’ said  Dabidosuteen-san.  \’I\’ve never knocked a horse out before.\’

\’Why don\’t you try lifting the horse off me?\’ suggested Ashishura-san.

\’Could tie the other two horses to this horse and get them to pull it up,\’ said Jeimisu-san.

\’Good idea,\’ agreed  Dabidosuteen-san.

So it was that Dabidosuteen-san and Jeimisu-san tied ropes to the unconscious Ashish and the other end of the ropes to their steeds.

\’What do you think they\’re doing?\’ asked Victor.

\’I think they want us to pull poor Ashish in two,\’ said James with a little fear in his voice.

\’Those callous bastards!\’ said Victor.  \’Couldn\’t they just leave him and continue without him?\’

\’Maybe they\’re hungry,\’ said James.  \’I\’ve heard that horse tastes quiet nice.\’

\’Where did you hear that?\’ asked Victor.

\’Well, okay, I\’ve been eating bits off one down in the basement lab whilst you weren\’t watching,\’ admitted James.

\’Raw?\’

\’No! Not raw,\’ said James with indignation in his voice.  \’Been making horse burgers.\’

Before the conversation could finish, Jeimisu-san and Dabidosuteen-san gave both the horses a whack on their buttocks to tell them to get moving.  The shock caused both horses to instinctively gallop, unfortunately it was in opposite directions for a while, till the weight of Ashish stopped them and caused them to circle back towards each other.  With each rope acting as a radius of a circle, the two horses arced back together, clashing heads and knocking themselves unconscious.

\’Any other bright ideas?\’ asked Ashishura-san.

\’It was your idea,\’ screamed Dabidosuteen-san back at him.

\’Hold it,\’ yelled Jeimisu-san.  \’How about we just dig him out?\’

\’Okay,\’ agreed Dabidosuteen-san.

\’Just make sure you don\’t hit each other over the head with your shovels,\’ said Ashish.

\’Who would have thought it,\’ said one Japanese soldier.  \’I was sure Tokugawa was going to win the battle, but his horse just ran straight into those spear men and off he went.\’

\’Yes,\’ said another Japanese soldier.  \’He would have united Japan and made a great Shogun.  Instead, we will nee to put up with more wars and squabbles for years.\’

\’And his second in charge,\’ said the first Japanese soldier.  \’His horse just stopped and threw him straight into the spears.\’

\’Yes,\’ said the second soldier.  \’I\’ve never seen anything like it.\’

\’Over here,\’ called a third Japanese soldier.  \’I\’m sure I saw those horses come this way.\’

\’Shhh,\’ said the first soldier.  \’Not so loud.  Noroburu\’s soldiers might hear you.\’

\’Let\’s just get those horses and get out of here before we get killed like the rest of the army,\’ said the second soldier.

\’Psssst,\’ whispered the third soldier.  \’Ashishura-san!  Deibidosuteen-san!  I can see the horses.\’

\’Good work Jeimisu-san,\’ said Ashishura-san.  \’Let\’s get those horses and get out of here as quick as we can.\’

\’I had a dream I was a horse like that once,\’ said Deibidosuteen-san.  \’Weird dream, where I slipped over in the heat of battle.\’

\’Or maybe you were a Chinese philosopher dreaming you were a butterfly,\’ said Jeimisu-san.

\’We should give our horses names when we catch them,\’ said Ashishura-san.

\’Yes,\’ agreed Deibidosuteen-san.  \’It would be very honourable to do such a thing.\’

\’I\’m going to call mine, \”Hung like a horse\”,\’ said Jeimisu-san.

\’What if it\’s a mare?\’ asked Deibidosuteen.

\’I will call mine \”Disco Queen Jabby Football\”,\’ said Ashishura-san.

\’What\’s a \”Disco Queen\”?\’ asked Dabidosuteen-san.

\’I don\’t know,\’ said Ashishura-san.  \’But, I have a vague memory that it was popular in a time long ago that has faded with time.\’

\’You didn\’t get hit over the head again?\’ asked Jeimisu-san.  \’You seem to have that happen a lot.\’

\’What are you talking about?\’ asked Ashishura-san.

\’No time,\’ said Deibidosuteen-san.  \’The horses are close enough for us to grab the reigns of.  Let\’s fly like the divine wind.\’

\’Eh!\’ said Ashishura-san.  \’Okay.\’

With that the three Japanese soldiers each grabbed a mount by the reigns and hoisted themselves up onto the horses backs.

\’I thought you said they were harmless,\’ complained James.

\’I thought they were hiding from the other soldiers and would leave us alone,\’ said Dabido.

\’I just threw mine,\’ said Ashish.  \’Look, he\’s landed on his head.\’

‘Jozu desu ne!’ said a voice in the mist.
‘What?’ asked Ashish.

‘Arigato,’ said another voice.

‘Okay, where are we?’ asked James.

‘Bzzzt,’ said another voice.

‘At least we know Victor is still with us,’ said Ashish.

‘That wasn’t me that time,’ said Victor.

‘Eh?’ said James.  ‘Victor’s talking again.’

‘I was talking before,’ said Victor.  ‘Not my fault you couldn’t understand plain Austrian.’

‘Sumimasen,’ said another voice in the mist.  ‘Kendo ga jozu ja arimasen.’

‘Okay,’ said Ashish.  ‘I’m slightly freaking out with the weird voices I can hear.’

‘Do have someone on your back by any chance?’ asked James.

‘On my back?’ asked Ashish.  ‘No, but I think someone has me by a bridle.’

‘Uma,’ shouted a voice.  THWACK!!!!

‘Ow,’ said Ashish.  ‘I just got smacked across the mouth.’

‘Uma,’ shouted the voice again.  THWACK!!!!

The was an awkward silence as Victor and James wondered what was happening.  After ten seconds the sound of hoof beats could be heard nearby.  The person who whacked Ashish across the mouth twice, climbed onto Ashish’s back.  He pulled a katana from his scabard and held it aloft.

‘Ichi, ni, san, DA!!!!’ he cried, rammed his spurs into Ashish’s side and waved his katana in a meanacing way.

‘Owwww,’ screamed Ashish.  Shocked into action Ashish started running.

‘I’ve never seen Ashish run before,’ said Victor.

‘Hey, we’re out of the mist,’ said James.

They could see a large contingent of Japanese medieval spearmen ahead of them, and they realised they were galloping at full speed towards them.

‘Ah, this looks a little dangerous,’ said Victor.

‘A little?’ asked Ashish.  ‘You should be up front with me leading this thing.’

‘GAMBATAIIIIII!’ screamed a thousand voices.

‘”Little” certainly is an understatement,’ said James.

‘I just realised,’ said Ashish.  ‘My amnesia seems to have gone.’

Just as he said this a spearman lowered his spear piercing the side of the commander riding on top of him.  The body of the spear came crashing onto Ashish’s head, knocking the poor horse off balance.  His rider slipped and fell to the ground where he was quickly finished off by the enemy spearmen.

James faired far better by suddenly stopping before the speamen throwing his rider into the awaiting spears.  Victor, tried to stop, but lost his footing and skidded sideways.  Several other horses and cavalry men tripped or fell over him into the awaiting mass of sharpened weapons.

‘Okay,’ said Victor.  ‘Hooray for us.  Now, let’s run away.’

‘Good idea,’ said James.

‘Oh, darn,’ said Ashish.  ‘My amnesia is back.’

‘Let’s run over there,’ said James.  ‘There seems to be a forest or something over there.’

‘Good idea,’ said Ashish.  ‘We can hide amongst the trees till these crazy people stop killing themselves.’

‘Let’s go,’ said Victor, but he’d had such a head start the other two didn’t make out what he’d actually said.

‘How are we going to get back to Albrecht’s place?’ asked James.

‘Who?’ asked Ashish.

‘Albrecht,’ stated James.  ‘So we can turn back into humans.’

‘Dude,’ said Ashish.  ‘You’re dreaming.  We’re horses.  Have been for the last ten years.’
