I've been successful so far, but next time I may need to show up and demonstrate that I have 5 or more brain cells to be sent home.

Sweet! Buckyballs wont kill us anymore! Why you ask? Because the researchers believe the buckyball is toxic because in water it leads to the formation of an oxygen free radical which reacts with lipid molecules forming the cell membrane surrounding a cell! DUH!

How to start each day with a positive outlook :
1. Create a new file on your PC.
2. Name it "George W. Bush".
3. Send it to the trash.
4. Empty the trash.
5. Your PC will ask you, "do you really want to get rid of George W. Bush?"
6. Answer calmly, "yes," and press the mouse button firmly
7. Feel better...

As promised here are some highlights from Saturday night. Some how as a group we managed to take 80 pictures so I had to narrow it down a bit.

I finally figured out why my Internet Explorer keeps crashing. Stupid Yahoo pop-up blocker. Stupid stupid pop-up blocker. So I turned it off, and I realized just how much I've missed those pop-ups for legalized marijuana, hidden cameras, and "free" carribbean cruises. Ohhh, internet trash, how I have missed thee.

Busy weekend! You'll have to do your surfing on your own today :) Got some sweet party pics from the B-Day Bash to be posted soon, but for now here are some pics from the cubs game:

Beer of the Week: Killians Irish Red - This Killian's Irish style bottle is fashioned after the original bottle that contained George Killian Lett's famous amber lagar. The first recipe dates back to 1864, when George Killian's great-grandfather brewed the amber liquid in Enniscorthy, Ireland

I dont know what is worse the whole Dave Matthews Band bus incident, or this unfortunate, shall we say "dump"

All oxygen generators on international space station have failed. Manufacturing company out of business and lead engineer is dead. But NASA is not alarmed

Have you ever had a day of obscenely bad karma at work? First, I cut my thumb. Next, I tripped on a mat and slammed into the speed rail behind the bar chest first and maybe I cracked my sternum and dislocated my aorta and all the while I'm thinking such injury could have been avoided if I had bigger boobs. Finally, a box of shot glasses fell on my head. And how was your day?

Saw this on Amazon.com ... this time I read the disclaimer so I was prepared for the worst:

I'm not usually drawn to flash games (no need to pass the time during boring lectures anymore) but I found these quite amusing. As Wayne Campbell would say, "Game On"
-Lightning Pool
-Crazy Russian Car Puzzle
-The Air Race Game (Reqires a some bandwith and some patience)

The twins
Bond...James Bond
I will pump ::clap:: you up

Gunna keep it breif today...sorry, but if your reading this you should be watching MICHIGAN FOOTBALL

So with all these Haikus being tossed around I thought I'd share this one

I can honestly say my grandpa is guilty of this as well.

Kerry Rocks! (Not 56k Friendly)

You didn't think I'll let a post go by with nothing geeky in it did you?

Forgive me, Brad, for using your Blog as a vehicle for my own nefarious purposes and shameless self promotion - I'm like P.T. Barnum but without Elephants. For those who give a crap, I have finally updated my website. Here: Chainsaw Calligraphy.

Have a good long weekend. Or else.

åCheers to post #100 å

Here is a clever flash page. Wait till it loads and you can add your own leaves. You can even get the screensaver that will change from day to day.

I think this would make me a little nervous

Best away message I've seen in a while - "Is it ironic that the Miami Hurricanes' first football game of the season is being postponed by Hurricane Frances?" ~deyes

SECURITY MAN: Nine time out of ten, it's an electric razor. But every once in a while...(whispers)... It's a dildo. It's company policy not to imply ownership in the event of a dildo. We use the indefinite article: "A dildo". Never "Your dildo". (safe for work)

Beer of the Week - Guiness Draught - A unique mix of nitrogen gas and carbon dioxide creates the swirling liquid that tumbles, surges and eventually separates into the black liquid and the characteristic smooth creamy head that sits atop the perfect pint. With an initial malt and caramel flavor, Guiness Draught finishes with a dry roasted bitterness. Low in carbonation, it is always better served cold.

For my first post, I thought it would be proper to compose a Haiku about Brad's hair. Count the syllables on your fingers as you read silently to yourself or out loud to a friend.

Brad liked his big fro
He liked to hide things in it
Like pencils and pens

I also composed a haiku about Brad's new monitor, but it was... inappropriate.

AMD vs Intel Let me think...Dual 64bit processor vs mobile 80211g "optimized" processor. hmmm.....
Update: Intel does have a competitor Dual Core Processor also expected mid 2005

Idiots suck

I'm just kidding, I really enjoy my job and now I can make fun of all of you "scholars" when you have to cram for an exam or stay up to 3 AM to crank out an essay.

For all of you digital shutterbugs, check out this modestly priced digital frame. If that sparked your interst, then check out this one thats twice the size (and price)

Check out the new G5 iMac. It shinny and over priced so all you idiots who ran out and bought an iPod should really enjoy it.

In case you havn't notice, I've made some chages to the page. I've given an elite few the opportunity to publish their own posts to the page. I programmed the dynamic avatars so you can tell who is who. Please comment on what you think!
