Project 365 - Image 254/365
Rolf and Ice-Bat have been watching TV shows pretty much all evening about the 9-11 disaster in New York 9 years ago.
Rolf explained that he was munching on some cookie crumbs back on Uglyworld when he heard about the disaster on one of the intergalactic tv channels.
Icy kept himself cuddled into Rolf in silence as they continued to watch the stories and events that occurred that day.

Uglyworld #760 - Plan-tastic (253-365)
Project 365 - Image 253/365
After allowing me to use my "weekend of relaxation" pass last weekend Trunko and Turtle have been feverishly working out where they would like me to take them this coming Saturday.
Babo has already deemed that Sundays from now until I get home are classed as rest days where I'm not allowed to do anything except have a long lie and sit around with my feet up - I didn't dare argue with him on that one for several reasons you can no doubt imagine.
Turtle has aspirations for me to drive him South East to the plateau's and steep cliffs which can be found to the east of the Oregonian city of Bend (which he already passed through several weeks ago when visiting the 3 Sisters mountains and Deschutes National Park).
Trunko would rather head due West and then a little North to visit Astoria and on to the coastline at the Pacific Ocean.
I've decided to let them debate it out amongst themselves and let me know the winning destination.

Uglyworld #759 - Champion Of Good Causes (252-365)
Project 365 - Image 252/365
Peaco has a habit of jumping on pretty much any eco bandwagon that decides to roll through whichever town we're staying in at the time.
Tonight in the hotel room he discovered the little notice which tries to get guests to re-use their towels instead of using a new one everyday and for once he wasn't too hell-bent on making sure everyone else toe'd the line.
"I believes whats the sign tells us, buts back on Uglyworld we has no towels, we simply rubs ourselves down with leftover cookie crumbles, and if any full cookies is lefts, we eats thems".
Everyday's a school day with these little guys around...

Uglyworld #758 - Ox and Ice-Bat's Secret Revealed (251-365)
Uglyworld #758 - Ox and Ice-Bat's Secret Revealed (251-365), originally uploaded by www.bazpics.com.

It's a question pondered by people from all walks of life all over the world, why does Ox have one eye closed all the time.
Thanks to new technology on Uglyworld it's been possible for the very first time to be able to go back in time by means of a slow-mo camera and check out the moment that changed Ox forever.
It turns out he had been making fun of Ice-Bat for months at the fact that he never seemed to be able to acquire a sun tan, and after many, many, many warnings to back off Ice-Bat finally flipped out and poked Ox in his left eye with a point stick (It does look like a needle, but Ice-Bat explained that there's no such things as needles on Uglyworld, only pointy sticks).
So there you have it, thanks to the slow-mo time jumping camera we've finally been able to lie this one to rest once and for all.

Project 365 - Image 250/365
With today being not only Labor Day in America but us also reaching day 250 out of this years 365 project Cinko decided to take Doug outside for some much needed air and exercise.
Everything was going to plan until Cinko found a baseball lying in the grass and decided to make Doug go fetch it for him.
Doug's reply, "Narrrrr, ruff, yip, yip, grrrrrrrr!" which translated into English meant "Are you crazies, looks at the sizes of it!".
Doug's retort didn't go down too well with Cinko who stormed off muttering to himself, "Why does everyones have to finds a problems with things, I just tries to makes everyone have funs!".

Uglyworld #756 - Secrets Of An Ugly Marine (249-365)
Project 365 - Image 249/365
This evening Babo decided that it was time to put on a masterclass in self defence for everyone to watch and enjoy.
"You musts all remembers that having to fights is never a goods thing, but whens you has no other options then is always goods to knows how to defends yourselfs", Babo explained before asking for someone to be the would-be assailant for his demonstration.
Peaco was pushed forward towards Babo by Ice-Bat and Ralf who quickly retreated back to the safety of the back wall where Trunko and Poe stood excitedly.
Babo gave everyone a quick overview of what he was about to demonstrate, "The arts of being ables to quickly disables an attacker is alls about surprises and believes me when I tells you this - there is no biggers surprises that when you can removes an arm that they didn't knows they hads!".
Babo gestured to Peaco to come at him as quickly as he possibly could, Peaco was approaching almost like lightning yet Babo was able to quickly side-step, grab the "non-existent" arm and pluck it away from Peaco who tumbled to the floor in astonishment.
Peaco stared towards the pink arm Babo was holding tightly in his grasp, partially amazed at the fact firstly that Babo was able to move so fast, and secondly coupled with his thoughts of where the hell the arm had come from in the first place.
Babo's first lesson went down a treat with everyone else who whooped and cheered with excitement as Babo helped Peaco back to his feet.

As Friday night finally rolled round unknown to me Babo had ensured that everyone knew their respective tasks inside out for this coming holiday weekend, and Cinko was given the task of ensuring for one final time before I arrived back to the hotel that everyone was ready and primed for action.
Rolf was given the task this evening of being the "guard dog", to ensure that a long lie was going to be possible for me, all in all the sort of job that any Uglydog would relish - chasing maids away from hotel room doors.
Hopefully he stays focused on his task and doesn't go chasing bouncy balls down the street instead.
(Hopefully after some recuperation time on Saturday I can finally get round to checking out everyone's latest uploads, things have just been totally CRAZY here and it's been hard enough trying to get a photograph online each day never mind find the time to check out everyone elses pics).

Uglyworld #753 - We Can Backs Ups Your Memories (246-365)
Project 365 - Image 246/365
Thankfully Babo realised this week that me not calling one night last week to say I'd be home late wasn't all that bad, as this week the minimum I've worked has been around 14 hours, with the most approaching 19 hours (all in a single day).
Babo took this all in his stride and assigned all of the other guys jobs to keep things running "tickedy-boo" as he likes to call it:-
* Poe has been put in charge of making sure my alarm is set each morning (as I'm normally too sleepy to set it myself before falling asleep)
* Babo himself is looking after making me breakfast each day
* Turtle has taken it upon himself to look after what was an ever growing pile of laundry
* Rolf and Ralf have continued to terrorise the maids when they tidy up the room (it's pretty much their favourite thing to do)
This left Trunko with no major task of his own, so he took it upon himself to spend some of his own hard-earned cookie cash to buy a memory card which he then filled up with photographs of myself and Mireille on all of our adventures.
After I had thanked him I asked what inspired him to do this, to which he replied, "We is all missing homes too, and wishes either you can be's back theres soon, or everyone else can comes to visits us! This memories card has spaces left so you cans also backs ups your memories if you likes".
At the current rate I think option 2 is looking more and more likely as my stay seems to get extended a little bit each week, at least now I've loads of cool pics and "memorisations" as Trunko likes to call them of the fun myself and Mireille have had on our holidays to Scotland and elsewhere.
Turtle even suggested to me this evening when I arrived back in the hotel room that, "Maybies makes more sense that you has long lies and makes sure you doesn't gets burnts out, we can adventurise another times ok".
I may just take him up on that offer after the week that's slowly drawing to a close here...
