to the upcoming year.
The other projects I mentioned before are going all right, but slower than I expected.
Just thought I'd post this picture to keep a little bit active in this blog. And damn...I didn't realize that I hadn't posted here in 20 days.
I wish all of you a Happy New Year, along with a healthy and prosperous 2011.

Goodbye For Now
I'm sure you've heard of the old saying, "See you later, alligator!"
But I found recently that there are other ways to say goodbye and use animals in the salutations:
But I found recently that there are other ways to say goodbye and use animals in the salutations:
- Keep it real, spotted seal;
- Oh take care, gruff black bear;
- Lotsa luck, you silly duck;
- All best wishes to little fishes;
- Gotta go, buffalo;
- In a few, cockatoo;
- Bye bye, fruit fly;
- See you soon, you big baboon;
- Peace out, river trout;
- Good day, sting ray;
- Another time, porcupine;
- Ciao, brown cow;
- I bid adieu, mon caribou.

A Happy Hanukkah...
which starts at sundown tonight, to all of my Jewish readers, and especially to Ben Grimm, also known as The Thing of the Fantastic Four.
You didn't know he was Jewish? I cite Wikipedia:
Born on Yancy Street in New York City's Lower East Side to a Jewish family, Benjamin Jacob Grimm had an early life that was one of poverty and hardship, shaping young Grimm into a tough, streetwise scrapper. His older brother Daniel, whom Ben idolized, was killed in a street gang fight when Ben was eight years old. This portion of his own life is modeled on that of Jack Kirby (co-creator and original artist of the Fantastic Four)...(Kirby) was born Jacob Kurtzberg, grew up on Delancy Street, his brother died when he was young and his father was named Benjamin.
If you want to read the rest of the article, please click here.
By the way, the drawing was done by Kirby.
As for the writing on Ben's collar, I don't know what it says. This gentile is no Hebrew scholar.
