A weekend with the Boston Bagadonuts

This weekend Vinny "Bagadonuts", his lovely wife Agida Zabaglione and and the Junior, Sonny Biscotti visited the Maggotx compound for some R&R. A visit to the shore, some pool time and Disc Golf along with imbibing our beverages of choice led to a very fun weekend.

Agida (who else) insists on a Visit to the Local White Castle to sample the Heartwarming or should I say, Heart-Burning? Cuisine (could this be another SFBC...?)

Night Disc Golf with Cubby and Chris L. + misc. nonsense

After work on Friday, swimming in the pool, BBQ'ing and some drinks, Maggotx was ready for something else to top off the workweek....Like Disc Golf...but it was dark outside...HHmmm, wait, I know, I'll call Cubby,,,,,he's always ready to play.

After calling Cubby we decided, that after he closed up the store, we would meet at Rutgers for some night disc golf. We met at the course @ 3:00 am where he, Chris L and I played tons of Disc Golf. It was a very serene and somewhat halcyon night, the only ones out at that hour were some indigenous assorted wildlife (including two dead squirrels) and us, the DiscGolfers . Dawn was spectacular, and if you've never played Disc Golf during Sunrise you are missing out my friend......Anyway, we played a total of 7, 18-hole rounds or 126 holes of golf. We finally knocked off @9:00 am.

Cubby, Chris L. and Maggotx

For night Disc Golf, Chris and I taped small light sticks on our discs, Cubby was using a high-tech push through light (which he has previously featured on his Blog at) :

During the night, the hi-tech disc-light unfortunately came off and Cubby "Disc-arded" his disc which no longer held the light properly.

The next day maggotx went shopping and photographed some weird things which I so willingly love to share with the Blog viewer-ship...(below);

Judge in porn trial had obscene website

A federal appeals court judge came under fire yesterday after a news report disclosed that he was presiding over a criminal obscenity trial even as graphic, sexually explicit material appeared in what he thought was a hidden part of his own Web site.

Alex Kozinski leads the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit, one of the nation's largest and most prestigious legal assignments. For years, the judge has drawn notice for his wide-ranging, irreverent intellect and his vocal support for the First Amendment.

The Romanian immigrant was named to the bench by President Ronald Reagan in 1985, when he was 35 years old. Since then, Kozinski has made appearances on short lists of candidates for the Supreme Court, as well as a legal blog contest seeking "the #1 male super hottie" of the federal judiciary. Kozinski nominated himself for the latter post, and he won.

The judge did not return calls for comment yesterday. But he told the Los Angeles Times, which reported the incident, that he did not think the public could have viewed the explicit photos and videos, available on a subdirectory at Alex.Kozinski.com.

The material included a picture of naked women painted to look like cows, a short video of a man with a sexually excited farm animal, and images of masturbation, contortionism

and transsexuals, the newspaper said.

He was quoted by the Times as saying he did not believe any of the images on the site qualified as obscene. "Is it prurient? I don't know what to tell you," he said. "I think it's odd and interesting. It's part of life." Before his website was blocked, visitors saw a message saying: "Ain't nothin' here. Y'all best be movin' on, compadre."

The issue came into focus on the same day that Kozinski heard opening arguments in the obscenity prosecution of Ira Isaacs, a self-described "shock artist" who peddled movies that portrayed bestiality and sexual incidents involving urine and feces.

Kozinski later yesterday granted a motion to suspend the trial until Monday after prosecutors said they need time to look into the Web site issue.

Tim loses Green Acres Tag #1 Chops down Massive Tree and makes new basket

During a Disc Golf session last week. Green Acres Tim, Tom K, and Maggotx played some serious rounds at Green Acres. Maggotx was down by several strokes and Tim and Tom were tied going into the 17th hole. Tim, preparing to play at the DG World's Championship was pumped and threw a nice drive. Unfortunately Tom pulled an ACE to Tim's par and a two stroke lead to finish up and steal the #1 Tag at GA. Here are some pictures of Tom K.'s Ace....

Tom's Ace Basket...note the adverse wet conditions and Tom's Take-No-Prisoners Smirk......

Tom K's Ace throw view to Hole # 17,,,,,pretty awesome....click to enlarge and note basket in middle of the two trees...

Afterwards, Tim selected a huge White Pine tree which had been felled by high winds during the last storm and decided to create a NEW DG basket (or facsimile thereof) ....

I will keep you updated on the progress of this new AWESOME basket...

( LATE NOTE: as of Sunday night Tim got his TAG back from Tom K. BUT lost it to Don T. who stopped by to play with us on Sunday. )

Ok....Check Out this LOGO for a Clothing Company...!!!


It's NOT me thinking Dirty....This was definitely intentional...or was it....You decide.....

The A-Style logo was invented and patented by Marco 1991, then 4 years ago, yellow A-style stickers were placed on all the traffic lights around Milan. A-Style is very much into “gorilla” marketing! Being a curious logo, it was spoken and written about lots, GQ, Men’s Health, Cosmopolitan, the largest Italian newspapers and more got on the trail to find out what this Logo was and where it came from.


At this time there was no income as A-style was just a Logo, nothing more. Some T-Shirts were printed and sold in a friend’s shop in the centre of Milan. Two years ago Marco was presented to Massimo, a real gentleman that worked in the clothing business, who saw the real potential of this Logo in the "Streetwear" clothing market. There are now 2 factories that make only A-Style products. Marketing is still done in exactly the same way, Gorilla, Abusive, or call it what you like but very effective and a HUGE success.

The Gypsy Moth Infestation at the Maggotx Compound...!!!!


The Maggotx Compound is getting Invaded by Alien Creatures.....NO, not from Outer Space but Alien to NJ...!!!! The Gypsy Moth History is outlined below for your edification and cultural enhancement:

The Gypsy Moth were first brought to the United States in the 1860s by a Trouvelot, an Idiotic French Asshole and scientist who wanted to breed gypsy moths with silk moths with the hopes of creating a lucrative silk market in the United States. He chose gypsy moths because, unlike silk moths which are very particular about what they eat, gypsy moths feed on leaves of over 500 types of trees and shrubs. Trouvelot believed that a cross between the two moth species would create a hardy silk-producer that would be easy to raise and inexpensive to feed. Unfortunately for Trouvelot, who was a MORON.... silk moths and gypsy moths are not even in the same insect family and cannot breed with each other. Although his dreams of creating a lucrative silk market in the United States were never fulfilled, Trouvelot did unintentionally start another multi-million dollar industry – that of gypsy moth control.

In 1869, while Trouvelot was working with gypsy moths, a small number of the insects escaped near his Bedford, Massachusetts home. Ever the Stupid MORON, Trouvelot knew enough about gypsy moths at that point to be concerned about their escape and reported the breakout to local authorities. He even wrote about the escape in scientific journals but no-one seemed concerned about a few tiny caterpillars. Trouvelot eventually returned to France ( To escape the wrath of his Massachusetts neighbors NO DOUBT) .

By 1881 there were so many caterpillars that virtually all vulnerable trees in Medford were completely stripped of their leaves. Yards and sidewalks were covered with caterpillars and frass (insect excrement), and caterpillars coated tree trunks, fences, and houses. Homeowners scrambled to find ways to control the outbreak, even burning the caterpillars off their trees with kerosene (not recommended for obvious reasons!).

Citizens’ outcry was so great that the Massachusetts Legislature appropriated $50,000 (an enormous sum at the time) to combat the pest. After consulting several prominent entomologists, a plan of attack was devised and implemented over the following 10 years. The goal was complete eradication of all gypsy moths in the United States. Egg masses were hunted and removed on a massive scale and highly toxic arsenic-based insecticides were sprayed on foliage, often to the dismay of property owners who rightly believed this cure was more dangerous than the problem.

This plan worked so well that by 1900 gypsy moths had for the most part vanished from the American landscape. The Massachusetts State Legislature decided that enough had been done and did not seek further funding for the program. The State’s Gypsy Moth Commission and Board of Agriculture, who knew better, vigorously protested this decision to no avail. Just as they predicted, gypsy moth resurfaced in Massachusetts soon after and began to spread to surrounding states. In spite of renewed efforts to control the insect (including an attempt at biological control by importing natural enemies from Europe and efforts to replace susceptible trees with less attractive ones), gypsy moth were established in the New England States by 1920. Eradication of the pest was not remotely possible by then, so control of gypsy moth became the goal. By 1922, gypsy moth had moved into New York and soon after spread to New Jersey and Pennsylvania, and then to points north and west.

TRUE STORY....Vatican: It's OK to believe in Aliens

Click the Title for the story Link:

Vatican says little green men are part of Creation

The Vatican's chief astronomer has said that belief in aliens is not at variance with Christianity and that any extra terrestrials would form "part of God's Creation".

Father Jose Gabriel Funes, a Jesuit, yesterday told L'Osservatore Romano, the Vatican newspaper, that "It is possible to believe in God and in extra-terrestrials". He said Christians could "admit the existence of other worlds and other forms of life, even those more evolved than ours, without necessarily questioning faith in the Creation, the incarnation and the redemption of mankind".

Father Funes, head of the Vatican Observatory, or Specola, said although many astronomers "lost no opportunity" publicly to profess their atheism, it was "a myth that astronomy favours an atheistic vision of the world". He said astronomy "does not favour the view of a Godless world. In fact, I think it is those who work at the Specola who bear witness to the fact that it is possible to believe in God and work with science in a serious way".

He said that the Observatory, formerly housed at Castelgandolfo, the papal summer residence in the hills south of Rome, would inaugurate its new headquarters in a monastery in nearby Albano next year. The Vatican Observatory also operates a 1.8 metre telescope at Mount Graham in Arizona in the United States.

Father Funes said that just as there existed a "multiplicity of creatures on Earth", so there could exist "other beings created by God, including intelligent ones.
We cannot place limits on God's creative freedom." St Francis of Assisi had described our fellow creatures on Earth as our brothers and sisters, "so why can we not also speak of our extra terrestrial brothers? They too would be part of Creation". He said that aliens, like humans, would be able to benefit from the redemption offered by Jesus Christ and "the mercy of God".

Hmmmmm.....BTW Remember this Twilight Zone Episode:...??????,,,I wonder if the Vatican saw it...?????????

Battle of Jersey Disc Golf Tournament

This Sunday May 4th we had the first Battle of Jersey Disc Golf Tournament. The idea was to have the "regulars" at each of the 3 private courses play against each other at all three courses. There were ten participants and the Battle ensued. We played at all three courses for a total of 54 holes of Disc Golf. It was a memrorable day and tons of Fun. I hope this becomes a yearly or even ab Bi-Annual event (Spring/Fall).

The Top 3 Winners which received place tags were:

1. DeBunker Hill Max
2. SideArm Mike
3. Cubby the Man The Legend

yours truly ended up at or near the bottom. There was some great playing present although I must admit we were pretty worn out at the end.

Here are some pictures I took before the tournament.
