Post Easter Post

Monday, April 13th, 2009

So, Easter weekend was pretty good. Hung out with soon to be in-laws, ate lots of deviled eggs, ham, and rolls. My future Mrs. proved once again how awesome she is by getting me a Classics Erector. (I still have my original Erector, just missing his crane.) I don’t know why that Toys R Us still had him, but he was the only one. He’s got great paint apps and his saw blade isn’t bent. (Apparently so many blades were warped that it’s mentioned on the tfwiki.)

And of course no family event is complete without an inappropriate joke from me… I tend to make ones that dance the line between ‘plausibly innocent’ and ‘perverted.’ This year was no different…

Did the basement dwellers of the world hear my plea? Perhaps, because I found an awesome spam comment tonight.

Do advertisers seriously think that anyone is going to buy products from them if they have Engrish addled asians coming up with their blurbs and shooting off their pitch and product links en masse to the unwashed internets?

Apparently not, because they’re not even trying anymore…

Where the heck is the rest of the Lugnut guide? Why haven’t I posted things to entertain you? And why does this site still bring in 50 to 100 unique visitors on days when I haven’t posted for a while?

Behold! The answer to some of these questions and more…

Google, Econ, and The Frito Bandito’s Speedo

Friday, February 13th, 2009

One of my future Mrs.’s college classes is an economy course where she has to read a book called The World is Flat. It’s an interesting book, despite my personal distaste for college, and the snippit that she read to me today has justified the $12 price of the book.

It makes me worry about the cost of the class, though.

I don’t really think I can set this up any better than just quoting the story, and saying that the basis for the chapter is how Google is helping to ‘flatten’ the world and bring people and business together.

Jangly Pals- Dancin Capn’ Jack!

.

What do Captain Jack Sparrow, a bottle of Jack Daniel’s Whiskey, and a family friendly Christmas gift exchange have in common?

The answer? A drunk uncle, a monkey, and a very uncomfortable holiday.

What?

You should see my answer to why a raven is like a writing desk.

Seriously, though, here’s the tale of what came to be of that aforementioned bottle of walmart whiskey.

Dear Douglas

Dear Doug,

It was nice to have you crash at our place the other night. Staying up late watching Dr. Horrible’s Sing Along Blog, The Legend of Neil, and Father Ted.

But I want you to know, Bacon saw the note you left in the bathroom.

Later I found Bacon lying on the bed, begging me to eat it.

You really hurt it, Doug. But you’ve made your choice.

(Unless Cheese is French and into threesomes, cause Bacon might be into that.)
