I've mentioned in previous posts that I make every effort to maintain a good rapport with the fine folks at WPSSCC. The main reason is because they control the world and I don't want any problems. But another is because they have access to and track all sorts of information that the rest of us wouldn't have even known existed.Recently, I contacted WPSSCC to get some info on who you weirdos are who actually read this stuff I spew. Imagine my surprise when my favorite WPSSCC representative (Heather) told me that I evidently have a very dedicated reader in the freaking Philippines(???).
At that point, the only thing I knew about our neighbors waaaay the hell out in the Pacific was that Arnel Pineda who most recently took up the lead vocal duties in my favorite band ever (Journey) is a Filipino guy that the group found singing cover tunes on YouTube -- touching story, actually.
Oh yeah -- and the fact I bought some fake Nikes on eBay once from a Filipino seller. Anyone who knows me also knows that I am a sneaker connoisseur, so I was outraged when the shoes turned out to be about as authentic as an $8 bill, but that's neither here nor there and I'm rapidly digressing.
So, I decided I should take the time to learn more about this interesting little island nation.
The picture above is of a golden crowned flying fox-- the largest species of bat on earth, found only in the Philippines. This thing has a wingspan of at least 5 feet and loves figs.
You mean to tell me that you people have what amounts to a housecat the size of some Haliburton unmanned aerial vehicle swooping around that place all willy-nilly?!?!?
F*ck that noise, Homie.
The lead singer of Journey, counterfeit items out the wahzoo, and the world's biggest bats: I salute The Philippines!
I hope you people are proud of yourselves.
