They’ve Got Brass Balls, I’ll Give Them That Much

31. May 2008

Great article on the Top 10 “Worst” Playstation Ads of all time. I put quotes around “Worst” because if advertising collects eyeballs, I’m not so sure it can be deemed “bad”. Plus, I and the writer of this article are probably not in the target demographics. However, there is some bizarre shit here: Worst Ads

I stumbled across this today and figured that some of you might find these “facts” amusing. The one about celery is a myth, as I understand it. If not I should be eating nothing but celery for the next few weeks so I can fit into that thong.

Let me start out this review with the following statements: 1. If you have accepted the fact that George Lucas has gone stark raving nuts, then there is a greater chance you will enjoy the new Indiana Jones. 2. If you think you can keep your lunch down as Shia LeBouf tries to be a Sha Na [...]

What about Hybrids?

With Oil being the scary topic lately, affecting everything from food to dating, we have learned to look elsewhere – Hybrids. These lush little dollies are the wave of the future right? My pal Enigma has the Honda version and loves it. Recently we have been discussing the battery replacement costs, which frankly scared the [...]

While just about everyone I know ramps up there computer for Age of Conan, I can not. Sure, I have a Dell laptop, which means upgrading is probably impossible. However, my computer is fairly new, and it more than meets the minimum requirements for the game. No, the problem with my rig is Windows Vista [...]

A friend of mine this morning shared this article with me regarding what the Big Oil Companies are doing with the landfall of money, that they are oddly getting during an oil crisis. Not sure how. Think about it – You are saying that the supply for a product is far lower than the demand. [...]

I posted Shatner destroying “It was a very good year” – a song made most famous by Sinatra, but I feel this may redeem me… somehow. Good bye Fellas, we love you.

Over the past three decades, the gradual reduction in true American innovation remains negatively correlated with the gradual increase in the mass media’s ability to continually flood the populace’s awareness with insignificant (read: statistically insufficient) stories of successful innovators. This has led to a broad-based false awareness regarding our true state of competitive effectiveness. Yes, there [...]

PC Upgrade Hell!!!

PC Upgrades used to be something I enjoyed. I would crack my case at any given opportunity to show off the amazing cable job I did, flaunt my new graphics card, HD configuration etc. As I got older and more and more vendors started producing more and more sub standard hardware with crappy drivers I slowly [...]

Thraxxus was being subjected to one of my rants the other day, and I would like to expand on it. Also, as much as I would like to mount a comeback to his pithy post comparing my thespian skills to Mr. Priceline, I shall resist. I’d rather be a Shatner fan than a Diceman acolyte [...]

Learned Behavior or Instinct?

15. May 2008

Humans are an odd species. Most animals are born with a natural instinct to survive. Many can walk or swim when born. In addition most animals need to stay with there parents for a very limited time before becoming self sufficient (some need not spend any time with parents). Humans; however are helpless; most behavior is [...]

TICK WARNING! I hate it when people forward bogus warnings, and I have even done it myself a couple times unintentionally…but this one is real, and it’s important. So please send this warning to everyone on your e- mail list. If someone comes to your front door saying they are checking for ticks due to the warm weather and [...]

What fun would the world be to a geek without gadgets. You know what I am talking about the necessary little elements of technology that you know your life is not complete without. They can fall into three categories (and oh yes I have examples) 1.) The ones you buy and stick on your shelf never [...]

I realized just how much filling up the tank in my car hurts the pocketbook the other day when it cost me roughly a thousand dollars for a full tank. Ok, I’m exaggerating a bit, but it was expensive. I know everyone is complaining about the cost of gasoline at the pumps right now, and [...]

I have now come to realize beyond any possible doubt that American business is doomed, and coming in a close second in the race to annihilation is the human race as a whole. Why do I say this: Ask yourselves these questions 1.) When in business did it become ok acceptable expected for a sales person to [...]

I visit one web site that could be classified as MSM – “Mainstream Media” to those unfamiliar with the dull acronym. CNN.com is my replacement for the local news – why should I care about the meth lab that blew up in Oakland, killing two squatters and their fourteen cats? Let’s face it, only [...]

I am a fan of most mainstream sports, but the worst kind of hockey fan. OK, I’m the second worst. The absolute worst type of “sports fan” is the bastard that hoards over his (her? really?) fantasy team like a liege lord, moving them in and out of lineups and cackling like the Crypt [...]

A while back we had this anti-blog blog going and then dropped off the face of the Earth. We even had this little following of devoted readers who would tune into our mindless dribble daily to see what other outlandish slander we may have produced. Needless to say we became quite gifted at manufacturing content [...]
