Rise of the Morlocks



There is a new category of mutants for those who are so mutated that they cannot live within normal society. They are known as Morlocks. According to Wikipedia: Morlocks are humanoid creatures, said to have descended from humans but by the 8,028th century have evolved into a completely different species. Unable to pass as normal because of their extreme mutations, they often live in the fringes of society such as subterranean dwellings or Costa Mesa.

Key features in identifying a Morlock:
  • extreme mutation, physical and mental
  • inability to interact with normal society. The Morlock is often unemployed due to the nature of his/her extreme mutations. In order to survive in this cash money society, Morlocks often depend on their creative skills like photography, cooking or "consulting." Sometimes Morlocks can become successful at their creative trades, as normal society can be appreciative of their outside-box thinking, but these occasions are extremely rare.
  • often in the presence of other Morlocks
  • uncanny ability to ingest large amounts of mood-altering substances (especially Hank)
  • affinity for sugary and fatty foods

Some examples of Morlocks

If you happen across a Morlock, do not be alarmed. They are harmless. They may look different from you but all they would like is to be accepted.

Beach Blanket Blackout Bingo Birthday Bash Pics

The Beach Blanket Blackout Bingo Birthday Bash was a success! It was a mildly tame party considering that we went through several handles of alcohol (including a 2 gallon jug of sweet tea vodka), a keg, a several 30 packs of beer, wine and whatever booze people brought over. And let's not forget about certain edible things that about half the party ingested and then left to mutate in a hot, stuffy room.



We took up quite a lot of real estate that day.


A neighborly chat with Victor.



Even the cool kids decided to show up.



The birthday mutants!



Happy Birthday Hispannika!



The water was 75˚ that day.



We were visited by a pair of roaming Mariachi singers.



They serenaded our birthday mutants.



Hispannika showed off her Latina heritage.



"Ole!"



The guy in red drank several tequila shots



New boyfriend or old flame?




No wonder they stopped at our party.



Birthday mutant Jed.

Thanks to Goodie and Toby for tolerating the mess. Can't wait until next year!

oh yeah and don't forget to vote for Hank for Cutest Dog!

1st Annual Mutant Triathlon: The Results






Click on pictures to enlarge












The 1st Annual Mutant Triathlon was held last Saturday on June 27. It couldn't have been a more beautiful day, especially after the original date was postponed due to crappy weather. It turned out to be a fierce competition. Chiron seemed to be favorite to win (Forest: "I'm starting to think Chiron may emerge victorious!") but after the swim, Mark had a generous lead. Unfortunately he blew it by taking a shower, drying off and then leisurely put on his shoes like he was Mr. Rogers. Chiron followed Mark and was out of the HQ so fast our photographer couldn't snap a picture. Jed followed next with John close behind him. Goody came next followed by Hans. Hans was thirsty but there was no water out so he hydrated the way a true mutant would: with Coors Light. Jack beat Greg in the swim but Greg beat him to the HQ and was off on his bike towards the pier before Jack finished his Coors Light (WAJ!).

The bike stage was next. The mutants had to ride their bikes to the Newport pier, round the globe, get a mustache from Annika and Melody, and ride back. Chiron led the bike ride followed closely by Jed, John, Hans, Goody, and then Greg. The mutants then went on their run but Jack had still not returned from the bike leg. I guess he stopped at his house, had a cocktail and took a nap. He earns the "Most Mutated Award"

And now for the official results of the First Annual Mutant Triathlon:

First Place: Chiron


Second Place: Jed


Third Place: John

Fourth Place: Hans

Fifth Place: Goody

Sixth Place: Greg

Seventh Place: Dark

Last Place: Jack

Special Thanks to Cycle Cadam at Electric, Ryan Boyes at Volcom and Jack Coleman for providing the prizes. Thanks to Annika and Top Burnt Chef for the BBQ, Casey, Jenny, Matt for the awesome photos. Thank you Melody, Annika, and Matt for help administrating the Triathlon. Thank you to all who participated and we hope to see you at the next Mutant Triathlon!
