Words of Wisdom from Bucky

"When you live in an apartment building, even reaching up for the heavens can land you in a toilet." - Bucky Katt


Who is Bucky Katt?


Bucky is the star of the whimsical comic strip Get Fuzzy. He's an egotistical control freak of a Siamese Cat who spends his time conning his roommates out of money, causing general havoc, and trying to eat a monkey. His roommates are Satchel Pooch, a dog of some sort who's a bit lacking in the brains department, but is genuinely good natured, and Rob, their owner who puts up with Bucky's antics better than you might expect. A while ago, Bucky went through a phase where he would speak only in quotable phrases...so I quoted him here.


By the way, there's this online video you just HAVE to see...


Yeah, about that. Somehow, word got around that I might be a bit of a hockey fan. Not sure how these things get started, but there it is. So, when a Youtube/CNN/Yahoo/Google/MSN video of a Zamboni on fire made its way onto the Internet, roughly 1/3 of the earth's population had the same reaction: "I need to send this to Jeremy!"

Yes, it's pretty safe to say I've seen the video of the Zamboni on fire once or twice.

It's not that I don't want people sending me Youtube Links, but enough with the flaming Zamboni!

Actually, what's only slightly interesting about the Zamboni fire is that I've been to that rink. This particular incident occurred at the Ice Works Skating Complex in Aston, PA...home of the Neumann College Knights. Back when RIT played NCAA DIII hockey, we would play against Neumann quite often. However, RIT moved their hockey program up to DI, depriving everyone of their opportunity to say, "Hello Neumann."
