It’s been about a year and six months since Owl Pellets went into semi-retirement. But, we’re back and under new management (just in time for OP’s 4th birthday!!!). But remember, please keep heading over to Mangold’s blog MBITAC (also found on the Owl Pellets’ blogroll) — He’s got some great stuff going on over there.
So tell your friends. Tell your family. Tell your dog. Owl Pellets is back. This is a BFD.
Can we officially stop paying attention to all the rumors floating around for Batman 3? Christopher Nolan’s made it known that he is NOT working on Batman at the moment, and he’s smack in the middle of filming “Inception,” which doesn’t wrap until December. So clearly he’s not scripting or casting for Batman 3. And even if he was, does anybody seriously believe what all the film websites have been reporting? Megan Fox as Catwoman? Really?? Eddie Murphy as anybody??!?! I’m still hearing rumors that “Inception” is secretly “Batman 3,” or just serving as a test run for Leo to see if he can play the Joker. Christ people. You have to be seriously dense to believe any of this nonsense. You can stop paying any attention to these rumors at LEAST until “Inception” finishes shooting, and probably until it’s released next summer. Ok, I’m calm now.
Poor, poor Owl Pellets. I forgot your birthday (which was this month) two years in a row (that would be both of your birthdays). In any case, happy birthday.
Owl Pellets was founded just over two years ago.
Found this in The Anchorage Daily News today,
Bus driver lent a helping hand
I was at the bus stop at Alaska Regional Hospital when a guy walked over to the stop dressed in socks, sweat pants, a T-shirt, and wrapped in a blanket. Unusual dress considering it was 15 degrees. He looked like he had been in car wreck so I asked what had happened, and he said, “The husband did this.” He had been seeing a married woman and the husband came in, beat, kicked and stabbed this guy. When the police got there he was a bloody mess and without his clothes. The doctors treated his injuries, gave him some drugs for the pain, gave him some clothes and sent him on his way.
We got on the bus when the guy realized he would have trouble getting home, walking a number of blocks from the last stop, so I asked the driver if there was anything we could do to help him get home. He told me, “I’ll take care of it.” I didn’t know exactly what he meant but as I got off at my stop, the driver reassured me that everything would be OK. I would like to personally thank the driver on outbound No. 15 who helped a guy who made some wrong decisions.

Tonight (Feb 11th, 2009), Joaquin Phoenix appeared on Letterman. This is one of the most bizarre things I have ever seen in my life:
Highlights
Full thing
After watching all of this, I’ll I can think is, “Letterman is a badass and Joaquin Phoenix could possibly be a tool.” According to The Huffington Post, “It must be seen to be appreciated.”
Call it a guilty pleasure. Call it a sin. Call it whatever you want, but I like Coldplay. Why? They make me feel all warm on the insides of my ribs. I’m tired of hiding it… Coldplay is fun and enjoyable to listen to. Don’t like it? Well, guess what? You can shut your face.
… just thought I’d let ya’ll know.
What a Harry Beard! Oh. ha. ha. ha.
Check out this article on beards, beards, beards or you can watch the video or you can just read some excerpts here:
According to the marketing research company The NPD Group, sales of electric shavers and men’s facial trimmers have dipped 12 percent just in the last year while beard-related activities are, well, bristling.
Beard Team USA, a division of the World Beard and Moustache Championships, boasts 36 chapters in the U.S. alone, many in urban hotspots such as Los Angeles, Dallas, St. Louis and New York. There are beard contests and beard blogs, mustache movies and facial hair fundraisers.
…
Facial hair is a way for men to bond, he says, the male rendition of the shoes-and-purse love you often see in women. Beard clubs and bulletin boards act as a sort of fraternity, offering camaraderie, community involvement and support — not to mention a steady supply of beer buddies.
I happen to be sporting “recession stubble: 5, 6 and 7 o’clock shadow in desperate need of a time clock.”
Finally, I have to give a shout out to my friends and founders of The Bruigher Beard Club of Montana.
I attended the Inauguration of President Barack Hussein Obama on January 20th, 2009 . I also survived PurpleGate.
What was PurpleGate? Google News search it.
What is up with Owl Pellets and Google Image Search? If you search “doomsday,” “bret mckenzie,” or “devendra banhart,” an Owl Pellets image appears on the first page.
