Motley Moose – Archive

As a newcomer who is an inveterate animal-lover, I felt it would behoove me to become better acquainted with the totem of my new, purple

homeland: the moose (Alces alces). So I asked a lot of questions and came up with many delightful answers…

In 2006 Matt traveled to 39 countries in 6 months. Later he traveled to 42 countries in 14 months and used a cast of thousands to make this video. So who is Matt? From his website

Matt is a 32-year-old deadbeat from Connecticut who used to think that all he ever wanted to do in life was make and play videogames. Matt achieved this goal pretty early and enjoyed it for a while, but eventually realized there might be other stuff he was missing out on. In February of 2003, he quit his job in Brisbane, Australia and used the money he'd saved to wander around Asia until it ran out…

Matt lives in Seattle, Washington with his girlfriend, Melissa, and dog, Sydney. He hasn't had a real job since Stride called him up. Matt doesn't mind working, but he doesn't much care for having to show up at the same place every day.

So can you dance like Matt? Supposedly Matt's dancing has evolved from 2006 to 2008 trip. Do you like to visit foreign lands like Matt?…

Did you enjoy the background music in the video. Do you know where is it from?

I’ll start:

Minutes turn into hours and add up to days, weeks and months of my life on the phone.  That said, the absolute bane of my telco experience is The Phone Bridge.  

DATELINE WAZIRISTAN:

In a rare public appearance, Al Qaeda CEO Osama bin Laden challenged President-Elect of the United States, Barack Hussein Obama to a basketball game between only the two of them.  In a hastily called press conference near the ibn-Fazal Notouri public square, Mr. bin Laden addressed a pool of war correspondents and two beat reporters from the Green Bay Packers’ Radio Network.  Although bin Laden and the rest of the al Qaeda management team are known for unorthodox tactics, this move has turned more than a few heads.

In prepared remarks, Mr. bin Laden had little good to say about Mr. Obama.

is very popular currently. But so are charges flying around about being a racist song….folks, please make up your own mind about the controversy…

Meanwhile, recently few underground bands hit the trail in North America. Here are few clips from StereoLab and The Editors. They are probably the best known secrets in the underground rock world..Stereolab is a Anglo-French Band who had been around since the early nineties. Stereolab are known for their guitars, percussions, Marxist overtones with French vocalist Sadier..listen to Peng!

Tuesday December 9, 2008 was one bleep of a bleeping, bleeped up day (in 100 seconds).

In order to define the Moosers I used the following definition while commenting in a MyDD diary.

Like MyDDers, Moosers (if I can use that word) are a bunch of diverse, esoteric, eccentric individuals.

I should have added “wonderful and talented” to the adjectives. So what is your definition of Moosers or how you would like to be defined as?

So what are you doing this weekend? Keep plugging us in to your weekend routine..

So what are you doing tonight? Are you feeling post election blues? From the election results it is clear that more work needed to achieve Equality for All Americans….

Which TV channel are you watching and what are you drinking? I’m switched on to the BBCAmerica and watching Ted Koppel and Larry Sabato. Thinking whether to get a glass of Tanqueray with tonic or with Bloody Mary mix…
