She should be a motivational speaker

This is an actual quote from my mom’s boss—something she said to her 2nd grade son after his Valentine’s Day party on Friday, which involves candy and chocolate passed out to all the students:
Just realize that every time you put sugar in your body, you’re killing it
The mom is 40.  She is deathly afraid of [...]

Dumb ass is as dumb ass does

D’oh!

Finally going to get a good night’s sleep

Ever since Saturday-ish (though I suspect it’s actually been longer and I just didn’t notice), my computer has been awaking in the dead of night in a zombie-like fashion, which wakes me up and forces me to make it go to sleep again.
I even tried putting it in Hibernate mode, which is essentially off, but [...]

PETA forces close on phone ad

I’m not fan of Verizon and basically indifferent to PETA, but I do not see a problem with this ad.  OK, the dogs (pit bulls) are in a reletively stereotypical role, since while the animals do have a penchant for killing and maiming things, not all of them do.  So I see that.  But PETA [...]

Mars Attacks!

So of course the exciting news is that Mars has some form of water on its surface, which means it may potentially be a great natural habitat for simple, one-celled organisms, or possibly members of Congress.
Of course, this being America, and America generally being a blood-sucking leech, several Nebraskans have already figured out how to [...]

Forget the nudists…

They’re creating a “black list?”
Why not a “white list?”  Huh?  Why must the BLACK list be connected with a NEGATIVE connotation?
And what about BLACK eyes?!  Why not BLUE eyes, since that’s what color they really are?  Or is BLUE not racist enough for you pigs??

I’m back! I think…

Well!
I get back from Vegas only to find out that while I was gone, a comedy of errors took place.
First, a lightening storm obliterated both the modem and the wireless router.  Then, my car’s Check Engine light came on.  Shortly thereafter, my dad’s car overheated.  Then a man who was supposed to fix the washing [...]

Someone with too much time on their hands

I decided to do something today I never do: Go to weather.com and see what the forecast is.
While there, I noticed a link on the right-hand side that said: “Check mosquito activity in your area.”
They PAY someone to check mosquito activity?  How?  Some guy stands on the corner with meat sauce sprayed all over his [...]

Next month: Blogger Tycoon

…Unless they’ve already done it.
Seriously, something needs to be done about this Tycoon franchise.  I know we hound EA for making basically every concievable Sims game possible, up to and including “The Sims Pawn Shop Stuff,” but in the meantime, something’s slipped under our noses the whole time.
The Tycoon franchise is out of control.  While [...]

Photobucket crap

Does anyone else’s Photobucket look really screwed up? Instead of a left-hand navigation column followed by several rows of pictures, everything is now spread out in a single column with only one column of photos smashed into the left-hand side of the screen at the bottom? WHY?? It looks terrible and is [...]

Bleeerrgh

I just got done with four hours of CPR training and stuff for my summer job.
As boring as it was, it had its moments of hilarity, especially during the movies, which featured clearly under-competent actors attempting to be way too dramatic given the fact (a) there is no emergency, (b) they’re doing CPR on a [...]

Heart attack on a plate

I just saw a commercial for some “Southern Fried Chicken Biscuit Something-Or-Other” for McDonald’s. Chicken I don’t mind—in fact, it’s the chicken meals I hate the least at McDonald’s—but this thing is intended to be eaten for breakfast.
Who wants chicken for breakfast? And fried chicken at that? Besides, possibly, a wolf?
No doubt [...]

Vader attacks!

There’s a whole lot of fail going on here.
I think the most important quote in this entire story is:
Hughes claims he was drinking heavily and can’t remember the assault.
I’m also startled by the statistics at the bottom of the story. I love sci-fi and “Star Wars” as much as the next guy, but apparently [...]

EA is FAIL

That is all I’m saying.

The legal system has failed…

…when someone who runs over someone else’s pet sues said pet owner for damages instead of the other way around.
