Here's tonight's sermon

It was preached about 5 years ago, but's its still worthwhile.  Here's Pastor Deacon Fred from Landover Baptist Church preaching to a bunch of atheists:

Yes, Landover Baptist is a parody/satire website, but they've done it right on, and this is worth the laugh.  Now, if he were only in the Chosen Attire (Full Pirate Regalia) and he were preaching about The Noodly Master.

Can you tell?

As you can see from the depressing shade of grey in the sky, I have today off. And my boss hasn't called me in.

If you've ever wondered about.....

Star Trek vs. Star Wars Vs. Babylon 5 vs. Farscape etc.  This won't solve your problems, but it does show all the ships to scale with each other.

But did they have car insurance?

OK, I am currently watching Walking With Cavemen on the Science Channel, and I have to think, would Australopithecus Afarensis use Geico?  And why is the gecko in those damn Geico ads looking a lot like the mascot in SuSE?

Avast, ye scurvy land-lubbers

It be International Talk Like A Pirate Day, one of the holiest days in the pastafarian faith (Ramen).  Splice your main brace, shiver yer timbers, & buckle yer swash.  It's time to go out on the 7 seas and plunder.  But first, get yer pirate name here.  This year, I'd be Iron Roger Rackham.

If you thought American sports fines were stiff

The check out what FIA did to McClaren.  They lost all their manufacturers' points and they were fined $100 million.  When I last had the chance to track Formula One, the average fine was about $10,000.  Before today, the stiffest fines I had seen issued were from the NBA (word to the wise: don't piss David Stern off, even though he is a roody-poo, candy-ass pile of monkey crap).

Happy Anniversary

Voyager is now 30 years old.  I was only a child when they encountered Jupiter and Saturn, and didn't really pay attention to it.  Until I saw the National Geographic articles.  I've been fascinated with space exploration ever since then.

So I get a day off today

And Western Washington gets record-breaking rainfall.  It's all a conspiracy between my boss and The Weather Channel, I tell you....

A thought for tonight.

This occurred to me while on the bus: Respect is a two way street. Don't complain about not getting it when the driver tells you to watch your language. Unless, you like walking after you get banned from Pierce Transit.

EDIT: Yes. I know already I can't spell....

Moving Update

Lease has been signed, security deposit has been paid.  Move in starts tomorrow.  My other roommates have found places to go.  It's just we now have to get there.

If you don't see me for a while....

It's because my Real Life® (ie $day-job & my move) is going to be taking precedence in my priorities for the next week or to.  Until then:

Reader, adieu.

It's a holiday today.

No it's not Holiday, nor is it International Talk Like A Pirate Day.  It's Left Hander's Day.  A day that I can celebrate (being a southpaw, too).  Some other southpaws include (in no particular order):

  1. Matthew Broderic
  2. Charlie Chaplin
  3. Kirk Cobain
  4. George H. W. Bush (not the current moron in the White House, but his father)
  5. Bill Clinton
  6. Isaac Newton
  7. Benjamin Franklin
  8. Leonardo daVinci
  9. Michelangelo
  10. Ned Flanders
  11. Napoleon

You can have too much coffee

As this 17-year-old learned the hard way.  You don't need that much coffee to see The Underpants Gnomes (in fact if you don't wee them, then you haven't had enough).

Who's going to win

Pirates or Ninjas.  Of course, being a devout Pastafarian, I have to go for the Pirates.  After all, they are The Chosen People of The Flying Spaghetti Monster.

Moving.....

I will be moving soon.  I've already been to my new apartment, and I have the keys.  If all goes well, I will sign the lease and move in next week.  My access to the Internet shouldn't be that interrupted (I've got the cable guy coming in on Saturday to set up service at my new apartment, and I've made the arrangements to have the computer there.  This is something I don't want to do (moving is such a pain in the ass), but I have to.  On the bright side, the bus line I'll be one is so much better (chief at $day-job will be so much happier that I can stay later without having to make arrangements ahead of time). 

So long, Puyallup.

Found

Today while cleaning my room, I noticed an anti-static bag underneath one of my speaker shelves.  It turns out to be my old 56k modem that I thought I threw out.  I've upgraded to broadband (and I connect through an Ethernet card, so I can use a router firewall), and I eventually took out the modem, as it had come loose and was causing installation issues.  I'm still going to keep it, as it does have HPNA, and it may come in handy later on (more importantly, I have the drivers for it).
