Hey Silverhorner....yes...it's just you and me...I have been so remiss in posting lately that visitors to Silverhorn Lodge have dropped off to just you....oh-oh and this the height of the tourist season. So the good news is, this one is just for you! I wonder if my loss of readers has anything to do with the lack of creativity to my post title...I mean.."Monday Post" what kind of a catchy, cutesy Silverhorn Mountain title is that?
This is from the Am I Stupid? Files. The pilot of a Beechcraft Bonanza airplane made what could be described as a little 'faux pas' when he forgot to lower his landing gear as he landed his plane in Kansas. Lucky for him his little plane skidded down the runway and finally came to a stop leaving the pilot shaken but not stirred....he wasn't hurt.
Apparently the pilot got distracted by another plane taking off and plum forgot to lower his wheels...he forgot...distracted...what? Never seen another plane take off?
OK..OK so I once forgot to pull the outboard motor up when I was beaching my aluminum runabout boat...but at least I didn't say it was I was distracted by another boat...it was one of the lodge guests in a bikini!
And from the "Oh My, What is the World Coming to Files" a bus driver in Germany threatened to throw a girl off his bus because she was too sexy.............too sexy......too sexy........he threatened to throw a girl off the bus because she was too sexy....Apparently the driver stopped the bus, opened the door and told her to find another seat or get off the bus, her cleavage was distracting him every time he looked in the mirror. Which was frequently. The girl moved, but was embarrassed by the situation. Uh-huh..I dunno about you but on behalf of all the male bus riders I want this driver fired!
From Marcello, recently reinstated as Chief Garden Gnome here at Silverhorn Lodge, we have this Animals On The Run report. It seems a red panda bear (they come in red?)at a zoo in Norfolk, Virginia made a break for freedom from her cage for the second time in less than a month.
This time the zoo opened to find HidnSeek, (not her real name, it's actually Yin) missing. Although she is good at escaping, she seems to be a little dumb when it comes to hiding, as she ran right back to her first hiding place where she was caught the first time she escaped.
The likely university educated, degree holding, card carrying zoo keepers can't seem to figure out how she is escaping which doesn't say much for them. She is a panda bear, c'mon she can't be that smart can she?
HidnSeek's little adventure has landed her in a "special" holding area (ala Guantanamo Bay) until the zoo folks can figure out how she is escaping.
Otherwise things are going great here at the Lodge, a typical summer of blistering in the summer sun and dripping in the summer rain. I gotta go, I am off to a special evening class at the local adult education centre....I am learning to be a bus driver....

North Korea Shuts Down Kareoke !!
Hi Ho Silverhorners! It's me again, your favorite blogger situated high atop virtual Silverorn Mountain. Well this is our week for things from the orient I guess...and you know us, we like to get around...this is not a good news story though....well..maybe it is depends on your point of view I guess....
The evil empire of North Korea (...um...are they the evil empire? I never can remember) anyway...they must be because get this, their security agency has closed down kareoke bars and internet cafes because they are a threat to society....what?????
OK maybe internet cafes...there isn't anything any good on the internet...oops...um...well yeah, but Karaoke!!!! What the Hell??? According to the news the Ministry of People's Security has ordered that all the kareoke bars and video screening rooms and internet cafe's that don't have state authorization have to shut down now...immediately...right after cousin Huey finishes his rendition of Achy-Breaky Heart...no wait...on second thought, shut it down now!
Yup, well that's what happens when you have a socialist regime...the end of kareoke and open mic nights....I suppose wet t-shirt night was stopped months ago.

Toilet Money
Hey Silverhorner's welcome up to Silverhorn Lodge, high atop lofty Silverhorn Mountain, your virtual mountain escape!
Did you hear about what is happening in Tokyo? Money in the crapper folks...lots of it apparently. Yup envelopes containing 10,000 yen and nice little notes are being found in municipal bathrooms around Japan. According to the news report, civil servants are baffled.....uh-huh...yup..we knew that...what's that got to do with the money?
To date about $16,400 worth of yen has been found in men's rooms in city halls along with notes telling the finder to 'make use of the money for self enrichment' which I think in english translates to go get drunk you are $82 richer! Whooomever (I'm never sure how to spell whooomever) is leaving the money is somewhat trusting if not naive, considering they are also leaving a note that says, "one Per Person" uh-huh...
I dunno about you but I got a Yen for Yen! Sure makes toilet water worth a little more doesn't it?
Some of the found packages have been turned over to police for safe keeping until someone claims them.....wha...well...that puts a little better spin on this...of course it's mine...if you are in Tokyo wondering who owns the toilet money, it's me! Send it to me please, I was wondering what I did with it....
