I gotta tell you this whole Foley situation is really amusing. Liberals are going apesacrappin' over it. But now, the same Democrats who are incensed that Bush's National Security Agency was listening in on al-Qaida phone calls are incensed that Republicans were not reading a gay congressman's instant messages.

The Democrats say the Republicans should have done all the things Democrats won't let us do to al-Qaida — solely because Foley was rumored to be gay. Maybe we could get Democrats to support the NSA wiretapping program if we tell them the terrorists are gay!

I think it's time to get a rulebook from those silly Democrats.

—Boy Scouts: As gay as you want to be.

—Priests: No gays!

—Democratic politicians: Proud gay Americans.

—Republican politicians: Presumed guilty.

—White House press corps: No gays, unless they hate Bush.

— Active-duty U.S. military: As gay as possible.

— Men who date Liza Minelli: Do I have to draw you a picture, Miss Thing?

This is the very definition of political opportunism. If Republicans had decided to spy on Foley for sending overly friendly e-mails to pages, Democrats would have been screaming about a Republican witch-hunt against gays. But if they don't, they're enabling a sexual predator.

Amusing amusing amusing.

Is that doofus hipster turd playing the barista giving you the evil eye over the Starbucks counter as you make your ghetto latte? Has he actually had the nerve to wander over to you and icily inform you that the milk at the condiment bar is not meant to help offset an extra dollar surcharge levied by his corporate masters on your coffee flavored drink?

First, karate chop him in the throat. Then, remind him that Starbucks HQ has explicitly condoned the ghetto latte:

"Customization is a fundamental attribute of the Starbucks Experience. We provide condiments to our customers so they can make their drinks to their liking and we appreciate their patronage. We trust our customers to make the choices that are right for them."

Of course, on the very same day they condone the practice, they raised coffee prices by a nickel. I recommend taking a few gulps of half-and-half straight from the carafe to get even.

TAKE THAT 'BUCKS.
Oh dear Lord George Lucas. What have you done.

"George Lucas has a message for studios that are cutting their slates and shifting toward big-budget tentpoles and franchises: You've got it all wrong.
The creator of "Star Wars," which stamped the template for the franchise-tentpole film, says many small films and Web distribution are the future.

And in case anyone doubts he means it, Lucasfilm is getting out of the movie biz.

"We don't want to make movies. We're about to get into television. As far as Lucasfilm is concerned, we've moved away from the feature film thing because it's too expensive and it's too risky.

"I think the secret to the future is quantity," Lucas said."

So quanitity of crap over quality? :(

Steve Irwin didn't die. It's just a trick and he is going to help get Jack Bauer from the Chinese.
I got all nostalgic after that and found these gems:


Watching Mr. Rogers moonwalk is awesome.

I saw this years ago and I'm still floored by it. He gave the senator GOOSEBUMPS and won $20 million to fund Mr. Rogers Neighborhood. You might think at certain points he's not going to pull it off, and that any man who just goes off into song lyrics is a loon, but if anyone could do it Fred could.

Here's the classic intro. Ahh the memories are flooding back.

Oh my God I remember this closing song... I'm glad he was my television neighbor.

When I have kids this will be essential viewing for them.


Mr. Rogers taught me it was alright to be afraid of going down the drain in the bathtub. But that I should face that fear because *HE* told me I would be alright.

I did and I am.

I miss Mr. Rogers. :(

I nearly died when I saw that. And here's some funny Dead Rising haikus:

Just shut up, Otis!
I know I'm in the food court!
The transciever sucks!


I hate it when the
female zombies try to take
a bite of my Frank

Who's leaving me weapons?
Uzi above the shoe store.
There every time, why?

You cannot die Frank
because if there was a war
who would cover it?

LOL.
Who are you to wave your finger?
You must have been out your head.
Eyehole deep in muddy waters
You practically raised the dead
Robbed the grave to snow the cradle
Then burned the evidence down
Soapbox house of cards and glass so
Don't go tossin' your stones around
You must've been high

You've made the past 8 years of my internet-searching life amazing. And my stock has never been better lol.

Google was unreachable the other day and I had to use Search.com but the scary thing was it took me about a minute to decide what search engine to use. When I thought about it, I hadn't used anything BUT Google in about 5 years.

Expect some new nifty changes. I've been studying up on my Photoshopping skills as well as my web-design again, and this blog will be what I want it to be at some point. ::insert tacky under construction pic here::

I've switched my blog over to Blogger Beta, so posts are a lot more reliable. They post in under 10 seconds now. That's an impressive feat by itself lol. Bear with me as I work out all the kinks.
I heard this a long time ago but I heard it recently again and it really cracked me up. Lyrics are below but a listenable song is here.

Final Fantasy is an RPG
The only one that I need
It's the RPG for me
Final Fantasy is all that I play
All other games are lame
It puts them all to shame

I only play games that are popular
I only buy the games the magazines tell me to buy
That way I know I get good games for sure
I may have a shallow mind
But you can kiss my behind

Final Fantasy; it consumes my life
And that is probably why
I'll never have a wife
Final Fantasy has awesome music
And that is probably why it
Always gets remixed

I always buy the soundtrack to each game
Oh it is the only thing that I will listen to
Oh sure one day it may drive me insane
You may think that I'm a fool
Well I'm here to say "Screw you!"

Final Fantasy on PlayStation 2
With music by Nobuo
And graphics by Wong Chu
It is Final Fantasy number ten
Must save the world again
Right here from my own den

Hopefully I'll get through the game just fine
I don't know why I continue to play each game
They'll be making these 'til the end of time
Oh I guess that I will pay
For these new games 'til Doomsday


Anyone who has played will appreciate this.

Happy International Talk Like A Pirate Day!
Anjem Choudary.

"This week he stood outside Westminster Cathedral in central London to call for the execution of the Pope as punishment for 'insulting Islam'. He fulminated against Pope Benedict XVl, adding: "Whoever insults the message of Mohammed is going to be subject to capital punishment."

It's a long way from his days as a medical student at Southampton University, where, friends say, he drank, indulged in casual sex, smoked cannabis and even took LSD. He called himself 'Andy' and was famed for his ability to drink a pint of cider in a few seconds.

One former acquaintance said: "At parties, like the rest of us, he was rarely without a joint. The morning after one party, I can remember him getting all the roaches (butts) from the spliffs we had smoked the night before out of the ashtrays, cutting them up and making a new one out of the leftovers.

"He would say he was a Muslim and was proud of his Pakistani heritage, but he did-n't seem to attend any of the mosques in Southampton, and I only knew of him having white girlfriends. He certainly shared a bed with them."

On one occasion, 'Andy' and a friend took LSD together. The friend said: "We took far too much and were hallucinating for 20 hours."

Choudary failed his first-year exams, switched from medicine to commercial law and did his final year as a law student at Guildford, from 1990 to 1991, before moving to London."

It's good to know this guy is just a rambling stoner who almost failed out of college. Execute the pope? Yeah.....right.

So a dream of mine is to one day open up a restaurant or maybe a coffee shop/cafe.
I've even gone so far as to think of some names.

Java, The Hut
Grand Brew Auto (if it was a drivethrough)
Joe2Go
The Brew Crew
Brewed Awakening
Joe-mentum
A Whole Latte Love
Inbound Espresso
The Three Ami-joes
Coffee 2.0

Yeah I've given thought to this. Who wants to be a co-owner?
This really sickens me.

This nun was slaughtered as a result of what the pope said. Why on earth should the Pope apologize - he was quoting a medieval text! If a historian quotes Hitler, that doesn't mean that he supports those views himself. Any extremists, of any religion, who incite hatred and violence should be jailed. If they have moved here from another country they should be made to return. We should not tolerate such behaviour any longer in our midst. Spare a thought for the poor nun who has been murdered in Somalia her only crime was to be a Catholic. She devoted her life to helping people.

It's scary the reverberations that are occurring from this. Sometimes it's not that hard to see how forces could move against the Church one day.
This may be the best Sims 2 Machinima I've ever seen.

Hallelujah.

As it stands now, the recent oil-price slump has brought the national average for a gallon of unleaded gasoline down to $2.59, according to the AAA motor club. In the Seattle area, prices per gallon have fallen to $2.856 currently from $3.071 a month ago, a decline of 7 percent, according to AAA.

Should oil traders fear that this downward price spiral will get worse and run for the exits by selling off their futures contracts, Verleger said, it's not unthinkable that oil prices could return to $15 or less a barrel, at least temporarily. That could mean gasoline prices as low as $1.15 per gallon.

* As impressive as Kingda Ka may be, it is worth noting that it is not the first of its kind. While Xcelerator at Knott's Berry Farm was the first hydraulically-launched coaster, Top Thrill Dragster at Cedar Point (the coaster which formerly had the title of "fastest" and "tallest" prior to the completion of Kingda Ka) is the most similar in design. All of these coasters were manufactured by Intamin. The most notable difference between Kingda Ka and Top Thrill Dragster is that Top Thrill Dragster lacks Kingda Ka's second hill; it instead has a flat brake run. Kingda Ka's tower is 36 feet (11 m) taller than Top Thrill Dragster's, and its launch is 4 mph (6.5 km/h) faster. Another notable difference is that Kingda Ka lacks Top Thrill Dragster's "christmas tree" starting lights, making it hard to know exactly when the launch will occur.

* Kingda Ka is different from Xcelerator in that, like Top Thrill Dragster, it lacks Xcelerator's double banked turns near the end of the ride.

* The downward spiral actually twists slightly less than 270 degrees, because the second hill is angled back toward the station rather than parallel with the launch track. On the other hand, Top Thrill Dragster's brake run is parallel to its launch track, so it spirals a full 270 degrees on the way down.

* It is less than one foot taller than the Great Pyramid of Giza, however the original height of the pyramid was 481 ft. - 25 ft. taller than Kingda Ka.

* It is 151 feet (46 m) taller than the Statue of Liberty, including its pedestal and base. Interestingly, the Statue itself (not including its pedestal and base) is that exact height - 151 feet tall.


* At the top of the first hill, riders feel negative g force.

* At the bottom of the first hill, riders experience 3-4 times the normal g force on earth.

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

* Kingda Ka is 45 stories tall.

* Kingda Ka never runs in the rain, even a slight drizzle, due to the potential hazards of traveling through the rain at 128 mph.

* Kingda Ka's launch is almost double the speed of the launch of the park's Batman & Robin: The Chiller (70 miles per hour or 110 km/h).

* Kingda Ka's hydraulic launch motor is capable of producing 20,800 horsepower (15.5 MW) peak.

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

* Kingda Ka is visible from the NJ 37 bridge connecting Toms River, New Jersey to Seaside Heights, New Jersey, 34 km or 21 mi from Six Flags Great Adventure.

* Kingda Ka is briefly visible directly ahead when passing exit 8 on Interstate 195.

* Kingda Ka is almost double the height of Nitro, the second tallest roller coaster at Six Flags Great Adventure (230 ft or 70 m).

* Kingda Ka's second hill is higher than the highest points of the park's Rolling Thunder, Batman: The Ride and Skull Mountain. The second hill is also only 13 feet (4 m) shorter than the highest point of Medusa.

* One of the park's tigers, a rare golden tabby bengal tiger cub, is named Kingda Ka after the coaster.

* The skylines of Philadelphia to the left, New York City to the right and Atlantic City to the back-left can be seen from the top of the tower.

Here's why there was really an XBox 360 Shortage. (via Kotaku)

It looks like someone may have figured out what happened to a batch of those early Xbox 360s to make them lock-up and overheat. A German modder took apart two Xbox 360s and found that during assembly someone forgot to remove the protective layer of foil from the GPU heatsink’s heat transfer pad.

In other words instead of cooling, the heatsink was likely acting like a frying pan.

That matches up with the report received by Kotaku shortly after launch that a huge batch of Xbox 360s were recalled internally. In other words, they found something wrong and never shipped them out to stores, and a global shortage happened.

We read Thomas Edison made light but in Sunday school they said you did it. So I bet he stoled your idea. Sincerely, Donna

Dear God, Please send Dennis Clark to a different camp this year. -Peter

Dear God,

If you let the dinasor not exstinct we would not have a country. You did the right thing.
-Jonathan.

Dear God,

Maybe Cain and Abel would not kill each so much if they had their own rooms. It works with my brother. - Larry

Dear God,

If you watch in Church on Sunday I will show you my new shoes. -Mickey D.

Dear God,

Please put another Holiday between Christmas and Easter. There is nothing good in there now. -Ginny

Dear God,

I bet it's very hard for you to love all of everybody in the whole world. There are only 4 people in our family and I can never do it. -Nan

Dear God,

Thank you for the baby brother but what I prayed for was a puppy. -Joyce

Dear God,

I think the stapler is one of your greatest inventions. -Ruth M.

Dear God,

I went to this wedding and they kissed right in church. Is that ok? -Neil

Just found out an interesting fact.

"Japanese Valentine’s Day is backwards. Unlike the Western holiday, men do not give women chocolates, but vice-versa. A month later, males return the favor by giving women chocolates on White Day."
So the Winter Olympics are on us again. I don't enjoy these as much as the summer but they're still good fun nevertheless. If you can't find it in your busy schedule to catch them then drop on over to NBC where you can watched every event for free (after a short delay of course). Beats missing them altogether.

Today is Valentine's Day.

"The origins of Valentine's Day are uncertain. Many experts believe that it originated with Lupercalia, a Roman celebration honoring the wolves Romulus and Remus. During this festival, young men struck women with a goatskin hide called a februa. Receiving the blows was thought to make women more fertile and to ease childbirth. At Lupercalia, the names of all the young women in the city were placed in a box. Young men drew a name from the box and the couple would be paired until the next Lupercalia. Lupercalia was replaced with Valentine's Day by Christians.

Others trace Valentine's Day back to the rule of the Roman emperor Claudius II. In the 200's C. E., Claudius become frustrated when he had trouble recruiting soldiers into his army. Believing that the young men did not want to leave their wives and children, Claudius banned all marriages of single young men. However, a priest named Valentine disobeyed Claudius and performed secret marriages. Claudius found out about the marriages and sentenced Valentine to prison until his death on February 14, 270 C.
E."

So beat your partner with an animal hide or get married in secret but if you really want to be special do something amazing for her NEXT week. After all you shouldn't just be treating her amazing on this one day only...right? Don't be one of those sad pathetic whining jerks who sits around and curses the day. So you're alone for Valentine's Day? Yeah so is like 75% of the country. Focus on what the day means...it's about Love and Caring. And if you don't have someone, being happy that they've found that in this world. It's a good thing.

The longer I'd stall
The further I'd crawl
The further I'd crawl
The harder I'd fall
I was crawlin' into the fire

The more that I saw
The further I'd fall
The further I'd fall
The lower I'd crawl
I kept fallin' into the fire
Into the fire
Into the fire

And the more that I knocked
The hotter I got
The hotter I got
The harder I'd knock
I just gotta break through the door

Gotta knock a little harder
Gotta knock a little harder
Gotta knock a little harder
Break through the door

Whew...it's been a rough few weeks. So much is happening lately. Sorry to anyone who's been trying to get in touch with me lately things have been CRA-ZY. When it rains it pours, that's for sure. Recently a close friend of mine from college tried to commit suicide, but thank god she's alright and is finally getting help. It's scary how you never know about some things until it's too late.

Got to see the kids last weekend. We saw Nanny McPhee, not a half-bad film. I've always have respect for Emma Thompson ever since I saw Wit where she plays this college professor who gets cancer and eventually dies from it but realizes a lot of things about her life. Very good movie.

I finally put 2 of my Netflix Movies back in the mailbox this morning lol. I've had them since October, so it was about time to actually be GETTING something out of my Netflixxing.

Even though I said I'd hit Punxsutawney Phil on the head with a shovel if he even thought about seeing his shadow...well I won't do that. I love Phil. And he didn't run AWAY from his shadow, so maybe it really WON'T be 6 more weeks of winter. I mean with the weather lately it's been pretty mild. I'm hoping February isn't a bitch.

Yay Cowboy Bebop! Love this song.

Call Me Call Me

I close my eyes and I keep seeing things
Rainbow waterfalls
Sunny liquid dreams
Confusion creeps inside me raining doubt
Gotta get to you
But I don't know how
Call me call me
Let me know it's alright
Call me call me
Don't you think it's 'bout time
Please won't you call and
Ease my mind
Reasons for me to find you
Peace of mind
What can I do
To get me to you

I had your number quite some time ago
Back when we were young
But I had to grow
Ten thousand years I've searched it seems and now
Gotta get to you
Won't you tell me how
Call me call me
Let me know you are there
Call me call me
I wanna know you still care
Come on now won't you
Ease my mind
Reasons for me to find you
Peace of mind
What can I do
To get me to you
Come on now won't you
Ease my mind
Reasons for me to find you
Peace of mind
Reasons for livin my life
Ease my mind
Reasons for me to know you
Peace of mind
What can I do
To get me to you

Dear stupid dog, I've gone to live with the children on Jolly Farm. Good bye forever. Stewie.

P.S. I never got a chance to return that sweater Lois gave me for Christmas. Umm, I left the receipt on top of my bureau. I'm probably over the thirty day return limit but umm… I'm sure if you make a fuss they'll at least give you a store credit or something. Umm.. It's actually not a horrible sweater. It's... It's just I can't imagine when I would ever wear it you know? Oh I also left a button on the bureau. I'm not sure what it goes to, but I can never bring myself to throw a button away. I know that as soon as I do I'll find the garment it goes to and then it'll… Wait a minute, could it be from the sweater? Did that sweater have buttons? Hmm… Well I should wrap this up before I start to ramble. Again, goodbye forever.

P.P.S. You know, it might be a little chilly in London, I'm actually going to take the sweater.

"I Remember"
Do you ever wonder where
We would be if we'd have tried
A little harder?
It seems like yesterday
That we were making plans
For the future
But it's been so long
Since I have known the truth
These dreams we've left abandoned
And I'm haunted by your face
And the memory of your kisses
Sweet kisses
Do you remember?
I still remember so much
I remember never feeling so alive
Do you remember?
I still can't forget your touch
We swore that we would never end
We knew our love transcend space and time
Do you remember?
I still remember so much
I remember never feeling so alive
Do you remember?
I still can't forget your touch
We swore that we would never end
These memories slip away
The ghost of what we were
Is fading
But there is no more pain
Which is funny 'cause that night
I was dying
Now I don't even recognize
The girl I swore that someday
I would marry
But I can't forget her face
And I can't forget her kisses
Sweet kisses
Do you remember?
I still remember so much
Or how we swore that we would never be alone
Do you remember?
I still remember so much
I remember never feeling so alive
Do you remember?
'Cause I still remember so much
We swore that we would never end
We knew our love transcend space and time
Do you remember?
God I remember so much

I love Stabbing Westward

It’s a rare condition, this day and age,
To read any good news on the newspaper page
Love and tradition of the grand design,
Some people say it’s even harder to find
Well then there must be some magic clue
Inside these tearful walls

Cause all I see is a tower of dreams
Real love burstin’ out of every seam.
As days go by, we’re gonna fill our house with happiness.
The moon may cry,
We’re gonna smother the blues with tenderness.

When days go by, there’s room fr you, room for me,
For gentle hearts an opportunity.
As days go by,
It’s the bigger love of the family...

Infinity Points if you get it without looking.

From Gizmodo:

If you were going to score free DVDs somehow, what better way then to steal Netflix rentals from your neighbor’s mailbox? Just ask your jolly mailman! He’s already jacked up Mr. Thompson next door for 503 movies. Gloria Flores used to work for the USPS until she admitted to stealing over 500 DVDs in the mail from Netflix. She got 3 years probation and 100 hours community service. How’d she get caught? People in the town of Lyons started not receiving their Netflix rentals and called the Postmaster to complain. An investigation was launched and sure enough, Flores had stolen everyone’s movies. Even Gigli.

Sonic Says




"Kids there's nothing more cool than getting a hug from someone you like. But if someone tries to touch you in a place or a way that makes you uncomfortable that's NO GOOD!
No one has the right to touch you if you don't want them to. So what do you do? First you say "No" then you get out of there!"

THANKS SONIC!

That's ridiculous!

Tuesday, January 03, 2006

Been super duper busy lately so lack of posts have been a mix of that coupled with vacation.

New Years was a blast, now it's a 4-day weekend. Awesomeness for that. Hope everyone had a very Happy New Year!

In east Germany after WW2 there were shortages.

Congratulations! You got 63% of the questions right!

You've reached the point where people consider you an expert. Whether
they need you to get them through that one unbeatable level, or show
them the easiest way to get around a puzzle, they know they can turn to
you for advice. You also know quite a bit about the gaming world in
general, and probably spend a lot of time in IRC and on message boards
discussing new rumors. As such, many people justifiably consider you a
defining source of gaming advice, even though they secretly wish you
would shower more often.

(CNN) -- Scientists analyzed the portrait of the Mona Lisa, a woman with famously mixed emotions, hoping to unlock her smile. They applied emotion recognition software that measures a person's mood by examining features such as the curve of the lips and the crinkles around the eyes.

The findings? Mona Lisa was 83 percent happy, 9 percent disgusted, 6 percent fearful, and 2 percent angry, according to the British weekly "New Scientist."

Stolen from Kotaku:

A blogger got a chance to have a quick chat will Williams about gaming while the comedian was working on a film in the area.

Here’s the conversation:

“Hey Robin - do you still play online games?”
“Oh way too much!” he said.
“What are you playing these days?” I asked
“Battlefield 2 - the 2 stands for 2 in the morning.”
“Oh really? What class do you like?”
“Hmm?”
“What class do you like to play as?”
“Oh - the sniper. I’m always the sniper!” he said enthusiastically.
“Well I’ll watch out for you”
“Well you can try - but by the time you see me you’ll be dead!!”

LOL oh Robin.

**Edit**

Found an interview from awhile back confirming Robin loves the games I do as well :)

" * vertical orientation alone does not scratch DVDs

-Movement could be someone running through the house and sending shocks to the system through your floorboards
-Movement is often done on purpose when friends try to show friends the cool way in which the ring of light reorients itself with its fancy mercury switch
-Movement is often accidental, as when annoying controller cables are tripped over in the dark, jarring the Xbox 360
-Sometimes, people just get sick of poorly designed boss fights, and kick their Xbox 360s in frustration
-And sometimes, customers are committing fraud by purposefully destroying games that have been played to completion so that they can be exchanged for store credit that is used to purchase new games"

That's my nephew ;P
I know it's long, but just read it . . .

The story goes that some time ago a man punished his 5-year-old
daughter for wasting a roll of expensive gold wrapping paper. Money was
tight and he became even more upset when the child pasted the gold paper
so as to decorate a box to put under the Christmas tree. Nevertheless,
the little girl brought the gift box to her father the next morning and
said, "This is for you, Daddy." The father was embarrassed by his
earlier over reaction, but his anger flared again when he found the box
was empty. He spoke to her in a harsh manner, "Don't you know, young
lady, when you give someone a present there's supposed to be something
inside the package?"

The little girl looked up at him with tears in her eyes and said, "Oh
Daddy, it's not empty. I blew kisses into it until it was full." The
father was crushed. He fell on his knees and put his arms around this
little girl, and he begged her to forgive him for his unnecessary anger.


An accident took the life of the child only a short time later and it is
told that the father kept that gold box by his bed for all the years of
his life. And whenever he was discouraged or faced difficult problems he
would open the box and take out an imaginary kiss and remember the love
of the child who had put it there.

In a very real sense, each of us as human beings have been given a
golden box filled with unconditional love and kisses from our
children,family and friends. There is no more precious possession
anyone could hold.

Friends are like angels who lift us to our feet when our wings have
trouble remembering how to fly. Think positive and act. This is nice
finding something positive out of every negative, which we don't always
manage to do.

I am thankful....

For the partner who snores all night, because he is at home asleep with
me and not with someone else.

For the taxes that I pay, because it means that I am employed.

For the clothes that fit a little too snug, because it means I have
enough to eat.

For my shadow that watches me work, because it means I am out in the
sunshine.

For a floor that needs mopping, and windows that need cleaning, because
it means I have a home.

For all the complaining I hear about the government, because it means
that we have freedom of speech.

For the parking spot I find at the far end of the parking lot, because
it means I am capable of walking and that have been blessed with
transportation.

For the pile of laundry and ironing, because it means I have clothes to
wear.

For weariness and aching muscles at the end of the day, because it means
I have been capable of working hard.

For the alarm that goes off in the early morning hours, because it means
that I am alive.

And lastly...

For too much e-mail, because it means I have friends who are thinking of
me.

THINK POSITIVE!!
Pearl Jam ~ Oceans

Hold on to the thread
The currents will shift
Glide me towards...
You know something's left
And we're all allowed
To dream of the next
Oh, ohh the next, time we touch...

You don't have to stray
Tho oceans away
Waves roll in my thoughts
Hold tight the ring...
The sea will rise...
Please stand by the shore...
Oh, oh, oh, I will be...
I will be there once more...

Thanksgiving Rescue. These people rock.
Pearl Jam has a new album coming this year...and as a dedication here are some of my favorite Eddie Vedder quotes of all time:

"We're very reluctant to disclose song meanings. If a person lends their own interpretation of a song, it becomes their song, too. Music for some people is very personal; they need it.

"If you just feel like saying, '**** this, **** that, **** everything, **** you -- I'm getting the **** outta here... Living is the best revenge..."

"Hey Listen A$$hole, one more ****er throws a ****ing quarter out here, and we're out of here, I'm tellin ya ****er, what the **** your blowin it for ****in everybody. Hit me with a ****ing quarter again, and **** it, I'm outta here, we're all outta here, **** you, and if anyone sees someone throw change right next to them, you have my permission to personally beat the ****ing holy shit out of them. Thank you very much, ****ing idiot. AHhhhhh, that felt good. Thank you." -After being pelted with quarters from some moron.
"If you landed a Premium Xbox 360, you just cost Microsoft $126. That’s the number that Business Week is giving regarding how much Microsoft is losing on each Xbox 360 being sold. Losing money on console releases is nothing new. Sony did and will again, it’s part of the game, lose money on the hardware, make it back in software. Similarly, the report says that the original Xbox contained $323 worth of parts and retailed for $299. So the hit to Microsoft is a little bigger. Unless you landed a Core pack. In which case, we owe you a hug." via Kotaku.

TAKE THAT MS. I costed you money yay.

So I've got my XBox 360 and is a sweet piece of hardware. Way to go Microsoft, you've entered the hardware business finally. The XBox was an asthetic nightmare, however the 360 looks like it could belong in any living room.

So people WERE camping. It was pouring but tents and the like were up outside of Best Buy last night. My pickup was painless and prompt. Stopped at EB at 10 to get my ticketed number, (11). My guesses were very accurate as there were only about 20 preorders on shipment 1. I'm glad I'll be nowhere near that mall until Black Friday if we decide to brave that.

What surprised me most isn't that there were campers, or even parents with young boys, or even girl gamers. The most surprising thing was the solo-parents who were really committed to getting that Christmas gift for their kid. It's kind of touching in a way. There definintely was that 30-something hippie guy who labeled him self an "radical liberal." Damn sandal wearing hippies.

Manhattan....Kansas...see the campers

NJ Target Camper Interviews

XBox 360 Inventory Locator

And here are the 5 rules of NO NOs for Camping Line Etiquette:

#1 Consorting with store employees. The quickest way to turn the line against you, Benedict, is to laugh it up with employees. From the line's perspective, they've already hoarded two-thirds of the available consoles and are guilting the weak minded into purchasing outrageous bundles and/or warranty plans.
#2 Pulling your car up to the curb and blasting the radio. You may think that everyone loves country music as much as you do, but they don't. Just wear headphones and keep the humming to a minimum.
#3 Wearing "I Love Morgan Webb" T-shirts. It's just obnoxious. Besides, just because we didn't think to wear ours, doesn't mean we don't feel the same way!
#4 Playing football. You're not fooling anyone. We know you've never played a sport in your life. Don't start at the launch line where one bad pass could end with several cracked PSP screens.
#5 Saving spots. Don't expect it to be all candy and roses if your pals try to sneak into line with you 5 minutes before the doors open. Countries have gone to war over less and you will not survive it.

XBox 360 Supports XLink Kai!

I've used XLink Kai for about a year now. It's an IP-tunneling software that allows you to play other XBox, PS2, Gamecube, PSPs, or DS's by tricking your system into thinking there's one right next to it. If you're not apt to buy an XBox Live account...you can still play for free! :)
