Let's have one last colortini

Tom Snyder has passed away.  A sad day for all of TV-dom.

If you thought just one sun is hot enough

Then check out this one from APOD.  4 suns.  Get your sunblock ready.

A Hilton with Balls. Finally.

Paris's Grandpa has finally cut her off.  Instead of funding drunk driving convictions, 23 day jail stays, and sex tapes, Conrad Hilton's $2.4 billion will got to charity.  It's his money, let him give it away.  As for Paris, now is good time to start looking for a job, and join the rest of us who work for a living.

EDIT:  Apparently, he's cutting her off after all.

Just something interesting.....

This is a slow-mo of a tank round being fired:

 

This appears to be some sort of fin-stabilized round (most likely since most, if not all, tank guns in US inventory are smoothbore).  I want to say that it's a sabot round, but I don't see the sabots being discarded.  Perhaps any of you readers out there (maybe someone who shoots these for a living) has a better idea about what this is....

It's not supposed to...

Rain like a cow pissing on a rock in July. But, this is Washington, and we all have gills here.

EDIT:  I have now changed the settings on my cell-phone, camera.  My next picture won't be that small.

Nothing to see here.

But the Noodly Master. Ramen. Resized for my cell phone (and btw, I also use this form my desktop on my main computer).  Actually I just set up my mobile phone so I could post directly from it.

And the current GOP pick for President is:

None Of The Above?  All I'm going to say is one should vote his/her conscience.  If that means none of the current candidates fit, then don't vote for them.  I, for one, have voted for JP Patches and Gertrude for office in the past.

And he deserves every penny

Ichiro just got a 5-year, $90 million contract extension. I seen his performance in The New World Order (Mind-Control Division). I think the Mariners are still getting a bargain on this.

Today's Lesson is:

Always turn on the light in the laundry room before you start the washer.  Unless, of course, you're the type who likes to put a capful of fabric softener in his wash when you were going for the detergent.  At least they'll smell clean.......

This has been stuck in my head lately...

I don't know if they rock as much as Weezer does (at least according to Igwanarob's opinion in a recent post), but I can't get this song out of my head.  I do like the video, though.

A note to those who supervise

If you're a boss/supervisor/overlord, and your employees have access to really large and powerful shredders, then at least make sure you get out of your car before you piss your employees off.  For example:

I can now close my tower up again.....

I finally broke down and bought a case fan today.  When I upgraded my video card (which necessitated a new power supply), I was plagued with system bug-checks (you know, when Windows XP just restarts on you), as I have posted here.  With a new fan in place, I can now close the side of the tower, and use my night stand fan to cool myself.  We'll see how it goes....

It's the Fourth of July......

Have a happy National Get Drunk And Blow Yourself Up Day.  Only in America, can you celebrate freedom, independence, and liberty by burning your house down and blowing yourself up.  I for one will be leaving it to the professionals, and will be watching it on TV.  Well, if you're going to play with fire, just remember this:  If you still have all your fingers left when all is said and done, then you didn't do it right....

Where have the posts gone?

If you're looking for a particular post here and it just up and disappeared, it's probably because I just deleted it.  Not that I wanted to, but the links in them were stale, and it would be pointless to have a link go nowhere.......

Happy Birthday AT&T Gage Robinson

I know this is a wee bit late, but I was too busy stuffing AT&T Nick Trifonoff's mailbox with ecards....

Ok, it's been awhile

Since I posted here.  Sorry, but my bills just won't pay themselves, and I don't have access to a computer with an Internet connection at work.  And quite frankly, I think my boss would just prefer that I not write blog entries when I'm on the job.  Since my job is mostly non-IT, this is an easy directive to comply with.....  Having said that, there's been a buncha stuff that's been going on (in no particular order, by the way):

1. Mariners sweep the BoSox.  The team with the best record in The New World Order (Mind-Control Division) got their heads handed to them on a silver platter.  Don't fret.  It is still June.  The Mariners have all summer long to choke it before the play-offs come.
2. Chris Benoit.  I don't know of any appropriate link for this one, save for Google news.  Any way you look at it, this is a tragedy all around.  It now appears that he killed his wife and son &then hung himself.  Steroids are evil.  Of all the professional wrestlers who've passed away, many have died as a result of drug use or complications thereof.  Take, for example Davey Boy Smith (heart attack caused by past steroid use), 'Mr. Perfect' Curt Hennig (cocaine overdose) and Eddie Guerrero (heart disease from drug use).  I no longer watch WWE.  Vince McMahon needs to come clean on drug use in the WWE.  All of it.  Besides, WWE had jumped the shark long before. All Vince McMahon needs to do now is give Ted McGinley a title belt.
3. The iPhone is out.  So, I can pay $500.00 up front for a phone and then pay $60.00 - $100.00 a month to Ma Bell to use it.  I'll stick with my Samsung T619, thank you.  Besides, my calling plan has more minutes for a lower price (Thank you, T-Mobile).  I should also add that I am required to openly question the manhood of any person who uses an iPhone or a Mac.
4. Paris Hilton got out of jail again.  Paris, I have only one bit of advice for you: STOP BREAKING THE LAW! What you do with your riches is none of my business, but you are subject to the same laws and statutes that I am.  Break the law, go to jail.  End of discussion.

This is to put humanity back in it's place

Sure, man has done many things, some even being great (like General Tso's Chicken).  But in the big scheme of things, we aren't that significant, yet.  Hell, we haven't even been around that long, as Carl Sagan demonstrates:

Two Shutouts in a row...

The Mariners have won again.  Not only that, but they've not allowed a run.  Yes, they did get swept recently, but this was probably orchestrated  by The New World Order (Mind-Control Division) to make things interesting.  Caution is advised, as while the Mariners can be entertaining, you must always wear your aluminum foil hat, to make sure you're protected from their nefarious psychotronic radiation, as I have repeated before.  I can not stress this enough.

 Btw, The Cincinnati Reds (and Ken Griffey, Jr.) are in town tomorrow.  I don't know whether or not to welcome him, or to boo his ass out of the stadium.  Probably the latter.  The taxpayers of Washington State (and King County especially) are burdened with paying for Large Insurance Company Field, which was built to essentially his specifications (think the retractable roof), and he was gone less than a season after it had opened.  There are people who would welcome you back, but I say Ken Griffey, Jr. can kiss my ass.

What really happened after Anakin Turned to the Dark Side....

No, he didn't go trash the Jedi Temple like that moron Lucas would have you believe.  He was put on guard duty.  And Graham Chapman played Obiwan Kenobi (and did a pretty good job at it.  Think of how much better Star Wars would be if they had Brother Maynard and The Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch....

New Windows Live Writer released

The Anti-Christ has released another version of Windows Live Writer.  While it's still a beta, it now supports labels natively (the one draw-back to using the performancing/scribe-fire extension in firefox is that, while it supports labeling, I'm not the bestest of spellers, and I've misspelled my fair share of tags, as you can see....). It still supports Technorati tagging.  As for how well it posts, I wrote this post in it....
