Anniversary

Dear Baby,

Today is a very special day. On this day, one year ago, the first post was uploaded to this blog. Look how far we've come! It's been such an eventful journey.

In our one year up in cyberspace:

- We've been blogrolled by the famous bosey.co.in ! How about that?
- We were given the honour of "Best Blog Name" by shoefiend. (I still haven't spent my share of the happy thoughts (TM) )
- We were recently blogrolled by a kind gentleman, Mr. Ashok, which increased traffic to this site by a factor of 24 gazillion.

It's so strange, now that I think about it. At this very moment last year, I was very close to where you are right now. And at this time last year, you were very close to where I am right now. It's as if Time is playing a stupid trick on us. Funny, isn't it?

To Everyone Else,

I'd like to thank (I think I speak for Baby too) the 3 or 4 people that actually visit this site semi-regularly (This includes you, Escape Great Escape - you are the only person we don't know personally who actually comments regularly). Thank you for your time and your comments. They are well-appreciated.

I don't mean to bitch (ah dhang you), but it would be nice if some of the people who lurk on the blog (yes, sitemeter doesn't lie) came forward and left comments. It's ok even if it's just "You suk lol! u guyz r crazee!"

In closing, I'd like to say: "KP, GFY"

Thank you again,

Puppy Manohar (and Baby Vaijayanti?)

YKK Part Deux

Dear Baby,

I TOLD you there was something fishy about the YKK corporation. I wrote about it here. Now see what they've done!

This, mind you, is in Times Square! This is the heart of New York City! They are taking over the world! One zipper at a time!

Beware, baby, beware! (try saying that 15 times really fast)

Love,

Puppy Manohar.

KP


Dear Baby,

In my chemistry test yesterday I was posed the following question:

Write a detailed essay on Kp (15 marks)

I have sent you a copy of my answer; it got the full 15 marks.

Love,

Puppy Manohar

Write a detailed essay on Kp:

History and Background:


Kp, otherwise known as "El Kp Tan" (the Only Kp) was discovered in late 1982 in India, in an area now known as Bombay (town). The discovery of Kp was not a grand affair, and no one paid much heed to it, except the discoverers. Over the years, Kp has been observed in many places. These include, but are not limited to : the San Francisco Bay area, Greater Los Angeles County, Orange County, Bombay (town) and (very rarely) Bombay suburbs. It is said that environmental conditions to the north of Bombay (town) adversely affect Kp. This claim has, however, never been tested as Kp is more valuable than Gold or Platinum (Old Jungle Saying) and no one wants to risk tarnishing Kp.


Physical Properties:

Mass: 150 Kg

Density: 1182 Kg / cu. m (varies by allotrope)

Allotropes: There are 3 main allotropes :
Drunk Kp - 76.05 %
Stoned Kp - 23.94 %
Sober Kp - 0.01 %

Sober Kp is a very rare form of Kp and can only be synthesized under laboratory conditions from Drunk Kp or Stoned Kp. This process has only been recently discovered. Finding naturally
occurring Sober Kp is impossible and there are many cults devoted to this (vain) pursuit.

Stoned Kp and Drunk Kp are the naturally occurring allotropes of Kp, and they have some interesting properties:

- Stoned Kp glows in the dark.
- Drunk Kp fluctuates in density.
- Although Drunk Kp and Stoned Kp are both solids, they are capable of expelling volumes of hot gas from time to time in a process called "Enlightening".

It is possible to have a mixture of Drunk and Stoned Kp. Indeed, this is how Kp is most commonly found.

Chemical Properties:

Drunk Kp is a very volatile substance, and it reacts violently to many substances

- With Alcohols :
Kp readily "digests" alcohols, in a process called "Drunkification". Stoned Kp will exhibit more Drunk Kp behavior as drunkification increases. Note that almost all alcohols will be drunkified, with a few exceptions - one of them being JDNeOHL. Note that high volumes of Drunkification inhibit Kp's latent Good Joo behaviour.

- With Water:
This is an inverse operation to Drunkification, and is used in the Top Secret process to create Sober Kp from Drunk / Stoned Kp.

- With tetrahydrocannabinol:
Kp reacts with it to produce Carbon Monoxide and light. This reaction is responsible for the glow-in-the-dark property of Stoned Kp. When Kp has a high drunk and high stoned component, the glowing phenomenon observed is known as "Kpversence".

- Oxidation:
Kp oxidizes to give gold and -223 KJ of heat.

- Reduction:
Kp reduces in the presence of Vanadium Pentoxide to give Platinum.

- Acidification:
Kp reacts with organic acids in the presence of Sulphur as a catalyst to give a substance known as Kpus Vitriolus, accompanied by loud sounds.


Radioactivity:

Radioactive behaviour increases as Kp becomes more drunk or more stoned. There are two main isotopes of Kp, unimaginatively named Kp-Pl and Kp-Fktrd.

Kp-Fktrd is formed when there is an extremely high Drunk coefficient. At this point Kp is in its most dangerous state and needs to be kept out of reach of humans. Permanent tissue and liver damage can occur if the proper precautions are not taken. Exposure to large amounts of Kp-Fktrd has been known to incite rage in laboratory rats and other fauna.

In contrast, Kp-Pl is a benign isotope and is used to enable dating (ah dhang you). A measure of the Kp-Pl to normal Kp molecules is Kavorka. When there is a higher ratio of Kp-Pl to Kp, Kavorka is high and dating becomes easier. This mechanism of Kavorka -> dating is known as "Luring into KPtivity" and is commonly observed.


Handling and Other Notes:

Drunk Kp is a dangerous substance and should be kept away from young children and morons. Owing to the fact that Stoned Kp can easily be transformed into Drunk Kp, it is advisable to keep young children and morons away from this as well. This property has led Kp to be banned in many South Asian countries. The possession / sale / trafficking of Kp is a serious offence and can lead to punishments ranging in severity from Public Flogging to Execution. Kp has, however, been decriminalized in some states of the US and the EU for recreational use with the caveat that it is illegal to possess more than kp units of Kp. Kp is on the banned list of substances in the EU's RoHS (Restriction on Hazardous Substances) directive. Kp is freely available in India, and law enforcement is very lenient towards it.

In recent times, Kp has become a mandatory presence at any party or other such social gathering. Many times, parties have been declared to be "duds" or "miserable flops" when required amounts of Kp are not present. Since Sober Kp is impossible to attain, the social standing of the host of a party increases exponentially as an inverse function of the Drunk / Stoned quotient. This is mainly because, as the ratio of Kp-Pl increases (as Drunk coefficient increases), the KPtivity effect comes into play and the higher Kavorka keeps party-goers entertained.

Thus we see that Kp is an important substance in our lives. It must, however, be treated well to ensure that accidents do not happen.

Pwnam


Years ago one people invented something that Europeans travelled across the globe to trade in. There is one state that has that substance in abundance. This state will soon start harvesting it.

Today, all people who cultivate that substance will celebrate and pray to the God of that substance. The ultimate substance of superiority.

Here's our salute to Pwnesh, The god of Pwnage.

Happy Pwnam to all the haves and have beens of the world of pwning.

Do you wanna get pwned?

Authors' Note: Onam is the harvest festival of most people from state of Kerala. We do not intend to criticise, mock or undermine the beliefs nor the symbols and spirituality thereof. This post is a product of a random creative outburst, a central theme of the blog. If anyone finds this post offensive. Do inform us, we shall remove it.

So much for the joker


Puppy,

I swear this is not inspired by the Joker.


I'm a traveler, a reveler, every street to me is familiar.
I eat at every kitchen; I shop at every store.
I'm a cavalier, I'm a howler, I'm a bourgeois middle leveler;
Nothing feels like home anymore.

I'm a prowler, I'm a bowler - a heavy metal growler.
I dance at every club, sway at every show.
Bargainer, harangue-er, a compulsive headbanger;
My throat is parched and my feet are sore.

I'm a juggler, a smuggler, a daylight burglar.
I am priest; I am a whore.
I'm a fabler, a parabler, a left wing babbler.
I won't tell you anything you haven't heard before.

I'm a messer, a cross dresser, I'm a pointless point stresser* ;
I fly the skies; I crawl on the floor.
I'm a pauser, I'm a tosser, I'm an unidentified saucer;
I'm always in your face, I'm hard to ignore.

I'm a blower, I'm a flower, I'm a "will go where you go"er;
I bomb bay, I bang a lore.
I'm a fresher, a party basher, I have the youth I treasure;
I am a graduate, I'm a sophomore.

I'm a stunner, a slow learner, I am a rat race runner;
I get what everyone has in store.
I'm a winker, a thinker, a really social drinker;
But I'll guzzle all you can pour.

I'm a hammer, a jammer, an email spammer;
I am the cop, I am the chor.
I'm a gunner, I'm a burner, I'm a fatal table turner;
I'll play you fresh tunes, you can be sure.

I'm a giver, I'm a lever, the sender and the receiver;
I am superlame, I am hardcore.
I'm a kneeler, I'm a stealer, I'm the freedom dealer;
Whom do you think free trade is for?

I'm a slacker, I'm a cracker, I'm an assembly-code hacker;
I use VI, bitch, I don't need anything more.
I'm the sleeper, the reaper, I'll send you there way cheaper;
I'm the Bush, I am Al Gore.

I'm the trier, I'm the crier, I'm the hellish fire frier;
I wait for you at the door.
I'll ignore ya, I'm a lawyer, I suffer from paranoia;
I'm very bored, I think life's a chore.

I'm strong, I can fight, I am also really bright;
I pretend I'm seventeen, but I'm really 34.
I'll atone, I'm alone, I am the evil clone;
I'm asexual, I regenerate with spores.

I'm free, like a bird, but I'm a big lizard.
Some people call me joe, you can call me dinosaur.
I'm a baller, I'm a caller, I throw my heavy dollar;
Don't walk on my lawn it is for show.

I'm a maker, I'm a breaker, I'm an early morning waker;
I'll be free at six, call me at four.
I'm a flyer, a littler higher, I'm a new things trier;
I float on air, I'm made of foam.

I'm a juggler, I'm a struggler, I'm a holy potion smuggler;
I do it for salvation, don't try this at home.

regards,
Baby V.

Globalization

Dear Puppy,

I heard a real great economist say the following about Globalizaton. I think I love it to so much I am starting a new religion with this as my preamble.

But that’s just idle chatter
Our system brings reward to all
At least all those who matter."

Some more sample letters

Dear Umesh Rao (Jr.)

Please refrain from loudly singing "rain rain go away" during the monsoon season. I am a humble farmer and, as a humble farmer, it is my duty to inform you that rains are an integral part of our life. Without rain, there will be no crops, no farm, and hence, no humble farmer. You now see how your incantations are promoting farmer genocide.

Of course, it is not entirely your fault. Western culture and a colonial hangover are to blame. Still, I will appreciate it if you stop singing.

Thank you,
Yours sincerely,

Dearest Disha Ma'am,

We have been neighbours for over 15 years now, and my family and I have always supported your literary efforts, but I must complain that it is getting out of hand. We are not as young as we used to be, and I have small children in the house, so I am requesting you to please confine your writing sessions from 10 am to 5 pm. The noise is really disturbing us.

Thank you for your understanding,

Dear Akhilesh mami,

I forgot to drink the hot chocolate you made for me the other day. I took the cup and used it as stumps on the bowling end. You know how tough it is to buy real stumps and other cricket paraphernalia.

Since our bowling side did not take any wickets (not even run outs) and since after that innings we basically fought with the other team, the hot chocolate is intact.

Please do pick it up from the school ground. Give it to me tomorrow in school. I will sip hot chocolate in your English class.

regards,

Dearest Pappu Manning,

I do not appreciate your tone of voice (sic) in this letter. I am afraid this will have to be reported to the authorities for cyber-bullying. I am a firm non-believer in the Coyote Fear Club (CFC) and I think global warming is a myth too. So please take your propaganda somewhere else.

Mrs. Manickjee Cooper,

I thank you on behalf of the Indian Joint Family Movement for signing up for the Nuclear Non-proliferation Treat.

The agenda of this party is to get as many individuals drunk, copulate and then reproduce in to a highly complex joint family with convoluted parental and spousal relationships.

Please bring your own intoxicants in the spirit of pot luck.

Hey Mona

Will you water my plants daily? My apartment is right below yours and I see that you drop a lot of your water while watering your plants. I have placed the 'kundis' (marathi for horticultural soil enclosures) so that the excess water falls right in to them. Still, if you can just make sure that they are watered regularly.

I personally hate plants, I don't care a lot about anything green. But since, hence.

Yesterday in your lecture, you spoke about armpit implants. Does it involve prosthetic arm pits?

I believe prosthetic armpits will be a better option as they would not sweat and forbear ominous odours.

Thank you for your offer, but at this moment my friends "cap" has been reached. You will have to apply again next year to be considered.

Sorry for the inconvenience, but hopefully you will regard the old saw "you snooze, you lose" the next time you apply.

Sincerely,
