Goofy, off-the-wall or silly things I might find or think.

Shire Slammed on Drug Move

I really enjoyed the Lord of the Rings books. I also enjoyed the movies. So when I saw Shire Slammed on Drug Move I was pretty upset since I had no idea the hobbits were partaking in such activities. According to the books and movies drugs were purely the realm of orcs, Gollum and Ray Charles.

It turns out that if you go actually read the article that they’re just referencing a pharmaceutical company. What’s up with that? I call that poor reporting.

IT Geek says Matrix is so 1992

In an interview with an anonymous IT geek who went by the screen name of ‘1337hozer’ I learned that while many geeks enjoyed the Matrix for its very interesting approach to special effects, philosophical implications and Carrie Anne Moss some were really disturbed that Neo, the main character and hero of the Matrix series and the rest of the gang ‘plugged into the matrix.’

Come on! Wireless would so be the norm of the time if they had hovercrafts that were polidirectional in their control.

Other geeks were not available to comment as my Internet Explorer browser contracted yet another virus.

Evening Soap Star Doesn’t Get Her Show

Marcia Cross is not gay. Or so the report on CNN.com (this is important journalism mind you) quotes her as confirming. However, what really, really, really, really amused me was the brilliance of her statement about people’s obsession with her sexuality:

“I do think it was really weird, though, that there was all this curiosity about something, like that — about sexuality,” she said. “And I thought what a world we live in that that’s so important.”

Marcia, can I call you that? OK. Marcia, you are on Desperate Housewives which is basically a show about sexuality. People have apparently been watching it and you [the show] have won a few awards along the way for it. When you wonder why people think sexuality is so important, look at your pay stubs, that’s the answer. America is particularly obsessed with sexuality. The people don’t care if you’re gay, straight, bi, trans, tri, or any other sort of sexual as long as the information that they’re given is slightly misleading, feels edgy, naughty or graphic. If you don’t know why people wonder… it makes me wonder.

Harry Potter 6

If you’re a big Harry Potter fan, and I’d say that’s all of my readers except you, you can pre-order the sixth book, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, at amazon.com. Of course if you’re like me you’ve never read one of them. I’ve only seen one and a half of the movies. I have noted that various political figures keep making reference to it to get the young voters out. I don’t think that “John Kerry Went to Hogwart’s” bumper stickers will turn the next election around. Of course if Hillary Clinton runs then there’ll be a really good chance for them to win if they can use “This Witch is from New York” stickers. They will be popular at least in California and elementary school classrooms.

Dish Washer with Acid Rain

A Gassy dishwasher may cause some women to panic given the already high levels of gas emitting from their husbands. But Wait! There’s only carbon dioxide in this washer and it is really, really innovative. If this thing catches on then Las Vegas hotel/resorts could save millions of dollars. Texas might be able to up the water quality so that you might consider putting it into you. Water bills would go down, electricity bills would go down and the presidential rating would go up. Or not. However, it is really, really neat and I hope that some day I can turn one on and say to my grandkids, “Get your finger out of your nose.”

Recommended Reading

Farley Farts is a book that Abby picked out at the Library. Being a good mom, Jessica let her check it out. I strongly recommend this book to help get more dads reading to their children. Sure it’s about an amphibian with gas, but since most guys relate so well to this I think that it’s a must read.

My favorite part of this book is actually when Jessica reads it. There’s a mild awkwardness about it that makes it a book that we’ll most likely be adding to our library 🙂

End Times Fiasco

If you thought that end times debates and movies were bad (examples: Water World, The Postman and Dances with Wolves) you should check out this disservice: jacqueline stallone’s rumpology. This is future telling by the tale end. Or to put it another way: How to tell your future with your fanny. I’m sure the puns and such could go on for some time, but I just had to share this insane site.

Hotel Follies

Yeah! Hotels are so fun to stay at alone. I’m loving ‘going home’ to be by myself. Last night I was watching Emiril Live and realized that

  1. There is absolutely nothing on television worth watching at night on ‘basic cable.’
  2. Emiril is the Benny Hinn of Food Television. He works that crowd like a seasoned manipulator.

Funny Quote of the Second

On the ashtray outside of the Alt-N office is a small 3M sticky note that reads:

After staring at all of these butts I’m starting to feel like a proctologist.

Sure, it’s slightly off color, but nothing more than a very slight tan and, I don’t care for smoking…
