Iron Man vs Bruce Lee

If you ever wondered who would win in Iron Man Vs. Bruce Lee, wonder no more:

Who would’ve thought that Iron Man is really Frodo and Sam?

Extreme Sheepherding

Over the weekend, I noticed that YouTube had put out a Windows Mobile application and I downloaded it to my cell phone.  It’s stow low and buggy, but it’s YouTube where I would otherwise not have it…

Anyhow, this is the first video I watched on it:

And so we learn that there ways to have too much time with sheep that don’t involve certain things that will not be discussed in this post…

When I say no parking,

I mean no parking!

We all get old

Aging happens.  Some of us try to deny it.  But we will all get old. You. Me.  Even the Dark Lord Of The Sith. Darth Vader has prostate cancer.  OK, so it’s only the actor who played him, but still Vader’s getting old….

Shall we dance

The Big Dance is upon us.  Both the Udub and Gonzaga are in.  Historically, both teams have been able to make it to the Sweet 16, and then they choke it.  Maybe they’ll do better this year….

Fun at work….

Recently at work there was a need to hire someone (only a temp position, just to cover someone who was on an extended vacation).  The first day we had the opening, I got a phone call from someone inquiring about a position. I was sufficiently impressed with this person to go ahead and schedule an interview, and I set the appointment.  On the day of the interview, this person shows up three hours prior, and I give her an application, and again remind her to come at the appointed time.  The appointed time comes and passes, and she no shows.  My rule is you no show an interview, I don’t hire you.  She called me the next day, and I called her our on the no-show, and she just said that it was a miscommunication.  I’ll buy many excuses for missing an interview, upto and including extraterrestrial abduction, but miscommunication is not one of them. I told her I would call her back (a variation of don’t call me, I’ll call you).  Three minutes later she calls me again.  Finally I have to lay down the law, and I tell her that her ship has already left the port.

Today’s lesson, gentles: if you’re really serious about working for me, then show the fuck up for your interview!

Welcome to Citibank

Saw this at The Consumerist. Welcome to the new Citibank:

The New F***ing Citibank - watch more funny videos

I don’t bank with Citibank, and my credit card with them has been paid off.  But still this hits the nail on the head.

Not been a good week

Saturday, I got a call that I didn’t want to get.  Bob Brisky, one of my best friends died Wednesday.  He died of lung cancer.  If somebody tells you that tobacco doesn’t kill, they’re full of shit…

30 Years Old…

It finally turned 30.  It’s the CD.  I was nearly 22 when I finally got my first CD player (what can I say?  I grew up broke, and I had to pay for all my toys myself).  A few years later, I got a stereo with a 51 CD changer.  Then I got my computer and discovered mp3.  But that is the nature of progress…

Proof once again that the Buffalo Bills are stupid

I was busy last week, so I didn’t get the chance to post an entry about T.O. getting shit-canned.  He may have talent, but there’s an awful lot of drama to go with that talent, and it takes away too much from the game than what he can bring.

Anyway, T.O. is a diva.  But the Buffalo Bills are stupid.  After all, they signed him….

So little has gone on…

Or so much has happened, and I’m just too lazy to write about it.

• One of my best friends is dying of lung cancer.  The first round of chemo didn’t work, and he’s too weak for another round.  If anyone tells you that tobacco doesn’t kill, they’re full of shit….
• TJ Houshmandzadeh is going to sign with the Seahawks.  I’ve never really foolowed him, to be honest.  He just has an interesting name.  May we have more success this year than the past…  And speaking of players with interesting names, we need to sign Maurice Jones-Drew.  The Seahawks do need a good running back…
• I don’t know if anybody told you, but the economy sucks.  AIG i heard is bleeding $460,000 dollars a minute, Citibank is close to being nationalized, and The Anti-Christ even shit-canned their entire Flight SImulator development team.  The former two, I could care less about, but the latter is going to hurt…
• My phone bill is going up.  I saw this rumor on The Consumerist, and so I longed on to T-Mobile, and it was true.  For only $10.00 more, I now have unlimited voice.  And that to my unlimited texting, and my total internet access, and my phone bill is not going to be the cheapest.  But, I’m happy with it, and since my cell phone is my only phone, I can justify it.  Besides, it’s still cheaper than when I was on the AT&T Digital One Rate ($110.00 a month for 600 minutes, no internet, no texting….).
• In 2 1/2 weeks Sounders FC will start their first season.  Yes, I am a soccer fan. It’s not as boring as The New World Order (Mind-Control Division), and I can leave the tin-foil hat behind…  You got to hand to the Mariners.  It does take a considerable effort to have a $100 million payroll, and still have a 100 loss season….

Oooooh Shit……….

Griffey is coming back….  I don’t know what the Mariners have been smoking, or if The New World Order (Mind-Control Division) itself is high….

I’ll be the first to admit that I’m no fan of his.  He’s an ungrateful jack-ass.  The people of King County are burdened with a stadium that he insisted on being built, and yet he spent less than one season here.  I think if they’re going to call Safeco Field the house that Griffey built, then Griffey should pay for it. Personally.

Nothing to see here. Move along. Again.

This is nothing really. Apparently one can now post straight from one's mobile phone straight to blogger...

Let’s have some opera!

Just because I can, here’s the entire Ring Cycle.  Slight truncated….

Betcha didn’t know that Elmer Fudd sang Wagner…

Oh, and he also did Rossini too:

So what’s been happening…

I haven’t dropped off the face of the earth yet.  Real Life sometimes intervenes, and I end up away form my computer.  Or it could be I’m just too farking lazy to click on the icon to fire up windows live writer….. A little bit of column A and a little bit of column b is involved.

Anyway, one of the stores located near my work called me in recently as there computer and a Very Important Piece of hardware wasn’t working (not a printer or a scanner, and what it is/was is irrelevant to the post at hand).  There problem was the drivers and the software were written for Windows XP, but the computer they were using had Windows Vista.  I showed them how to use compatibility mode, and we both agreed that there are two ways to lose money: gambling is the quickest, and upgrading to Vista is the surest…  I just hope that one day The Anti-Christ would put out something that doesn’t suck…

The latest toy

And I mean it literally.  Someone is designing a Lego cell phone.  I had Legos when I was growing up, and I made all sots of thing, but a functioning cell phone wasn’t one of them…

And in a Lego cell phone isn't your thing, then there’s also the Lego Space Battle cruiser Yamato…

And this was found form somewhere on them intertubes:

Just a reminder people

I just want to remind people that cocaine/frosted flakes and gunpowder do not mix…

Don’t try this at home (not that it’s really possible….)

Ok, I watched Star wars growing up.  You shoot laser.  Stuff blows up.  Like a planet, perhaps?  One of the scenes that stuck out in my mind was when they blew up Alderaan.  Anyway, somebody with way too much time on there hands has finally figured out how powerful the Death Star needed to be here.  Don’t let reality get in way of your Science Fiction…..

Six and a half years later

And I finally beat MechWarrior 4: Mercenaries…  The Anti-Christ actually did a fairly decent job (usually I just play the instant action).  Too bad they cancelled any further versions (I hear they even let go the Flight Sim people during the recent layoffs).  Damn, and this was better than any version of widows, too.

Spock. Now. You. Can. Try. This. At. Home.

Yep.  It’s the Star Trek Episode Plot Generator.  Pointy ears not included.  And neither is William Shatner’s toupee.  But then again, William Shatner isn’t included, either…
