Nothing here today but the Catch of the Day. Just wasn't a big news day on my end of the World. (that means i was either too lazy or too
busy to put anything together.) Hope your Thursday goes well. It's the last day of the work week for me, so I guess things are looking up. Guess being
the appropriate word here. Enjoy your day.
July 30th, 2008
Wednesday.
Hump Day. It definitely feels like it. Hell, I work a short week now and it still busts my ass. What's that about?
Speaking of busting ass, I hear that Mexican Ninjas are
very dangerous. Their 'Epileptic Style' of fighting is very unusual, but very effect. Notice the sounds. Original.
I know that ninjas are supposed to be masters of silence, but a Deaf Ninja
is just plain pushing it.
For the record, I honestly think the concept of City Ninjas is quite dangerous. Granted,
people are used to seeing strange things in the city; however, a man dressed in all black with his head covered usually means Mugger. I can see where the City Ninja might get a little
phuhked up himself.
Damn . . . . little Jumping Ninja got skills. The soccer ball kicks are pretty impressive. All those back flip kicks and somersaults
have me a little dizzy. Definitely got skills.
And finally, if you don't have ninja skills, then you Don't Have Ninja Skills. Ain't no need in faking the funk. Take your punk
ass back home before I send the Nogales Ninja after your ass.
July 29th, 2008
Tuesday. Sure feels like a Monday.
A little bit of humor this morning:
A man was laying in bed with his new girlfriend. After having great sex, she spent the next hour just stroking his penis, something she seemed to love to do. Enjoying it, he turned and asked her, 'Why do you love doing that?' She replied, 'Because I really miss mine.'
So maybe my luck hasn't been that bad afterall?
July 28th, 2008
Monday.
Well, it will be nice to get back to work and get some rest. It's been one of those weekends. I can't believe that the month of July is already gone. WatDhell?
On the bright side, it's one month closer to my birthday.
Your time killer for the day: "Escape From Island". Another
in the series of "Escape" games, this time you have to navigate and escape from a deserted island after your plane crashes. Fun little game. Brain wrecker at best. I tried to
go the ol' Jack Colton way, but there was no Rolling Stone magazine or bails of grass. Still a fun game.
I think this girls shorts are meant to Booty Hip-notize you. If it works, send me a $1,000.
If not, enjoy the movements.
For all of you who still don't believe in the Wii Fit, here's a nice little video to try and sell you once more. Oh yeah, disregard the muscle bound, half naked dude with the
nunchuks. No clue what he's doing.
And finally, it's all fun and games till you Knock Out Your Girl. Ouch. All I can say.
Hope you enjoy your Monday. No telling what to expect out of mine. If i make it home in one peice, I'm ahead of the game.
July 27th, 2008
Sunday.
Soooo...... my yesterday ended up being quite the adventure. At the last second, Tacy's boss asked me to drive to Columbia for him so i could pick up some
ammo at the gun show for him. Bud and his wife were already going, so I figured it would be cool to meet them there and spend the day looking at shit we couldn't afford.
Plus, a fringe benefit of doing stuff for "Goldie" is that he tends to compensate very well. Can't lose, huh? Where do I begin?
Goldie was supposed to have me his list by Friday night. We're talking several thousand rounds of ammo here, so the list was a necessity. I finally got my list and purchase funds
at 9 a.m., which is when I had planned to walk in the Gun Show door. Already running late, I had to fore go breakfast and put the new Jeep into the breeze. Traffic was a bitch. Plain and simple.
Saturday mornings, from 9 am to around Noon, are INCREDIBLY busy. That's when all the tour-ons have to check out of their hotels and leave. What should have taken me an hour took me two. In fact, a two hour trip from
Myrtle Beach to Columbia took me a little over three hours and many blood pressure points. (i get road rage bad. real bad.) Once I was in the area, no one could tell me how to get to the actual show. I had remembered
Bud telling me an exit number, so I was close; however, I was in such a rush I didn't take time to get exact directions. Luckily, and after a few unsuccessful phone calls, I was able to find a gas station where the
attendant knew exactly where to go
and even offered a few tips on parking. (yeah.... those tips didn't work either.)
The gun show itself was PACKED. The venue isn't that big and they used every single inch they possibly could to showcase as much stuff as they could. Overall, it looked to be a pretty good event with a LOTS and LOTS of
AK's, SK's, and AR-15's for sale this year. I only wish I had made time to look. You guessed it. I didn't have a chance to "browse" at a single item. Hell, I was hours late. Bud and his crew had already scoured the place. . . . .
twice. I sure as hell didn't want to make them wait, so i set in on my shopping. Of the initial 4,000 rounds that i was supposed to get, only about 2,000 remained. Told you it was busy. Then I made the mistake of calling Goldie to see what
else he might want. I now think Goldie could be a woman. At his request, I covered the event floor three more times trying to locate all kinds of different ammo and supplies. All said and done, I think I walked out the door
with 3,500 rounds of loaded brass, powder, and pain. (Tanks Bud for helping carry all that stuff.) After loading up the Jeep, it was off to lunch. . . . . probably the only part of the day that went well. After eating, it was back on the road
for the return trip home where I got to ride in with all the NEW tour-ons that were arriving for the coming week. Only if it would have been that easy.
No more than 5 miles into my trip, a Suburban pulls up beside me and yells that my back tire is going flat. watDhell? I dive into the first exit and then into the first gas station. Sure enough, flat tire. Should have been no big deal. Hell, the Jeep keeps the spare
on the back. What could be harder? Try NOT having a jack and tire iron. Only in my life does the vehicle i choose to drive NOT have a tire iron or car jack. Yes, this is the new Jeep; however, we
purchased the Jeep used. Good thing I pulled into a busy gas station? No. I spent the next hour and a half begging anyone that would listen to borrow their jack and tire iron. Nothing. Nada. Zip.
It was either missing, at home, couldn't get to it, or I don't have the time. I was starting to think i smelled. The Roadside Assistance information was at home on the bar and Tacy was too busy at work to
even have a chance to get it. Franco lives in the area, but couldn't find my exact location. Hell, I even tried calling the D.O.T. Roaming Assistance truck. The dispatch lady laughed at me, said the calls were based on a "Assistance Needed" basis and
the fact I was sitting in a gas station put me pretty far down the list. I won't go into details on my encounters with different people at the gas station. Just know that i was losing ALL FAITH in humanity. And i was getting
quite pissed. The only person being any kind of helpful: the homeless guy sitting outside the store. Several times he checked on my progress and even offered directions to a the nearest mechanic. Good guy. After waiting forever, things finally started to
roll my way. Tacy called with the roadside assistance information. Franco had missed my exit, but rolled into the gas station just as I had started to dial for a tow truck. We set in on changing my tire using his
rig only to find that his jack was having "issues". I had not even had time to get pissed when my homeless buddy pointed to a truck that had pulled up behind me. The man inside the old busted pickup asked if i needed help and then pointed to the bed of his truck.
A full size car jack. There is a God.
I asked if i could use it. He said sure, and even got out of his truck to help me. He ran his own car repair business and was on his way home when he saw us working. It was only when i rounded the back of the truck with the jack that i noticed he
only had one leg. Yup. I begged people driving BMW's and Lexus's for HOURS and got nothing. This dude is poor as dirt, tired from a long day, and has ONE LEG!!! watD-bloody-phuhkin-hell people? And let me tell you this, when I say "help change the tire", that
sumbitch CHANGED the tire. He wouldn't let me in to help other than to finish and pull the lug nuts. Hell, most of it was done before I knew it was happening. The entire time we were talking and laughing. You would have thought we had all been friends for years.
Once we were done, I asked what I owed him. "Whatever you wanna give me." I gave him $25, a little over half of what i had in my pocket. I felt it wasn't enough, so i asked again if there was anything i could do.
"Do you know anyone who does prosthetics?", was his reply. I almost cried. Really.
Franco and I parted ways at this point, with him returning to school. I gave my homeless buddy most of my remaining money and thanked him for keeping me sane. He laughed and said, "We sane people have to stick together." Damn, tearing up again.
With the few dollars I kept, I bought an Orange Mt. Dew, some snacks and headed home. I spent the ride home trying to put the day into perspective. It was then I got to see the most beautiful rainbow i think i've ever seen. What was better was that I got to see the ENTIRE thing. From
start to finish, as it spanned the horizon. I guess there's hope for us yet.
So that's the bulk of my day. I've left out a lot of stuff. Didn't want to bore you to death. Not really sure why I felt the need to vent all of this on the front page either. I guess i'm just wondering . . . . .
anybody know a good prosthetics guy?
July 26th, 2008
Saturday.
Well . . . . i'm not really sure watDhell is going on today. Maybe a lot. Maybe nothing. It's 8:00 a.m. and i have no clue. I'll be back in an hour or so to let you know.
Till then, enjoy the "Catch".
July 25th, 2008
Friday. Freelance Friday.
I know i've been promising all kinds of stuff for today, but I've changed my mind. No better way to finish out the week than MORE NUDITY. That's right, I had so
much fun posting links, and got such a good response, that I'm doing it again today. Just in case you need it spelled out, everything today is NSFW!!
First and foremost, Feature today is the ever beautiful Lia19. I used Lia as a "Catch" pic a few days ago and haven't been able to shake the thought since. In fact . . . .
DOUBLE CATCH today of Miss Nipples. Enjoy !!
Kate is always Kolorful. The clothes may hurt your eyes, but all the more reason to get her naked. (NSFW - nudity)
Sandra and Cameron are enjoying each other's company. That has to be one of the most complicated garters that i've ever seen. (NSFW - nudity)
A nice little Ann Angel Video for your enjoyment today. Definitely need to find that beach. (NSFW - nudity)
Adrienne and Nika enjoying themselves and each other while
frolicking in the field. (NSFW - nudity)
While we are on the subject of pairs, here's a Nice Blonde Pair from Playboy. Now let me tell you, there is some silicone and peroxide in that gallery. Whew.
Eyes are burning from here. (NSFW - nudity)
Aight kiddies. All for today. Hope your Friday goes well. Hope your weekend goes better.
July 24th, 2008
Thursday.
The promised political prose will have to wait until tomorrow. Need more time to "preview" some of this stuff. Can't afford to be posting bogus info. Soooooo
today you get a few quick links to get you through the day.
The 2008 Mommy of the Year awards are now taking applications.
This young lady does a fine job of teaching her children skills they will need in life. You did see the second kid, right?
Rainbow Ride Wrecks. First, I wish the cameraman would have filmed the
entire damn thing. Granted, no one knows when these things happen, but c'mon. . . . . little luck here. We had a rainbow ride located here at the Pavilion. Not sure what happened to it after they closed. I wonder . . . .
And finally . . . . . a Pit Bull Bites a Pig. A Cop that is. No offense of course.
Let this be a lesson though. Not only does the girl lose her dog, she's going to jail for assaulting an officer. Talk about a bad day.
It for today. Hope your Thursday goes well. My house is finally getting back into some sort of order. Then again, the weekend is upon us, so that could change quickly. Have a good one.
July 23rd, 2008
Wednesday. Wicked Wednesday.
Nothing but flesh today boys and girls. If you don't like skin, move on along.
Addison Rose is definitely a HOT little
firecracker. I all of a sudden want to join the Army. NSFW!!
2 is better than 1. I mean, really. Do I even need to say that? Lena and Michaela just help drive home the
theory. Yeah, that's it.NSFW!!
Maria Menendez is one fine rosebud. Not sure if it's the red chair or
hard wood floor, but those heels are really nice.NSFW!!
Adela At Sunset makes every day a good day. Hell, Wednesday just doesn't seem so bad if that's waiting
at the end of it.NSFW!!
The School Girl Look will forever be one of my favorites. Keep in mind, I've never been near any school that required uniforms, especially NOT an all girls school.
Danger Will Robinson. Danger.NSFW!!
Aneta Keys, up close and personal in polka dots. She's a mighty fine one too. NSFW!!
Now, if the links above are not enough, check out Milkman's Book. More links than you could ever click in a marathon baby oil session. Enjoy those.
July 22nd, 2008
Tuesday.
I definitely think i need a nap. It's only Tuesday and I feel like this week has been going forever. Work is a mess, not really sure watDhell to expect there.
Tacy is still out of town, so i'm completely useless at home, but that's probably nothing new. Hell, the cats are even extra lazy so far this week. A nap is what i need.
Hmmmmm . . . . . got some decent stuff to post, but i think i'm gonna wait. I feel better when i have time to organize my thoughts, and today is just NOT that day. Hope your Tuesday goes well.
Link Dump tomorrow, followed by political soap boxes on Thursday. I promise, I'll show you a fun time yet.

Monday
HAPPY BIRTHDAY PINK DEATH BUNNY ! ! ! !
Incidentally, it's my Grandmother's birthday as well, so Happy Birthday, Nanny. Got to make sure and cover all bases. Never know who is gonna visit
the page on a day-to-day basis. I hope both of these beautiful, young ladies have a great and fantabulous day.
Take a look at ImageChef.com if you want to have some photo fun. Imagine PhotoShop alive and free
on the web. Ok, so you may not have that many options, but you can definitely do some artistic damage here. From cards to signs, templates to your own photos, lots and lots to do
here.
Now I claim to be good at the coin operated claw machine and I have plenty of worthless stuffed animals to prove it. This Girl, however,
takes the cake on wanting it all. I still think that a sledgehammer to the front glass would have done a much better job.
Hope your Monday goes well. I'm not really sure what to expect from mine, but I'm keeping my hopes high. We shall see . . . .
July 20th, 2008
Sunday.
Soccer is OK in my book. Not a big fan, but I don't necessarily hate it. Girls soccer, well that's another story. Got to love girls running around, getting sweaty.
And before you chuckle, these girls have talent. Don't believe me? You try The Donut Shot
during rush hour traffic. I imagine a cop would be REALLY mad if you busted his windsheild while he was getting fueled up.
Enjoy your Sunday. No real plans here other than following the wind. Speaking of which, absolutely NO storms yesterday. Hell, I don't think it even rained here. And i was
getting excited. WatDhell. Oh well . . . .
July 19th, 2008
Saturday.
Now this looks quite interesting. Tropical Depression #3 formed outside my backdoor overnight and is now bearing down on the area. Weather forecasters
have no real idea where its going or what its doing. Figures, huh? This is what i can tell you: it's raining outside and the wind is blowing. Nothing more for now.
The British Open continues today with Round 3 action. The Shark, Greg Norman, is currently sitting in second place at the ripe
old age of 53. It's actually pretty funny to listen to the interviews with Greg. Apparently his new wife has put something special on him. Every interview is basically him saying how happy he is and how much
marriage has made his life super fantastic now. He gushes how he doesn't care about winning, but rather just have some fun. WatDhell? Of course, he DID marry
Chris Evert,
the tennis player, so I can see where the excitement may be. (hint, hint, wink, wink, nudge, nudge). I don't really expect Greg to win the Open. Then again, no one in the World expected him to be in the final pairing.
Time to find my rain slickers and a float. Have a good Saturday.
July 18th, 2008
Friday.
I had the pleasure of watching the VH1 Honors - The Who last night. Damn good show. While I'm only a moderate fan of The Who, it was fantastic to see
different bands perform their stuff. One of the best performances was the Adam Sandler Introduction
of the band itself. I really believe that Sandler could make a fortune just doing parody songs. My second favorite song of the night, "Squeeze Box", by Tenacious D.
Yup, you heard me. Jack Black ROCKED IT !!! Sad thing is, other than the Foo Fighters Intro, everyone else sucked. Incubus and Pearl Jam both let me down.
Don't let me spoil it, watch the videos. Bust your speakers. Respect The Who.
Blondes are your Feature Friday. Before anyone complains about me featuring God's Q-tips, I have more requests for blondes than anything else. Just doing what ya'll ask me.
Now for something REALLY ENTERTAINING. We all know that "wrasslin'" is fake. We also know that sometimes things can go terribly wrong. Something tells me, this is one of those times.
It's Raining Chairs is by far the greatest show of audience participation
you will ever see. I'm thinking at the end of the day, somebody got phuhked up by all this. Not sure if it's the guys in the ring, or the people in the crowd.
July 17th, 2008
Thursday.
If you are a FireFox user, then today is your day. PicLens is a photo viewing tool that will
blow your mind. Currently, you can use PicLens to view picture galleries with: YouTube, Flickr, Facebook, MySpace, Google Images, Photobucket,
DeviantArt, Picasa Web Albums, Smugmug, FotoTime, Fotki, Bebo Hi5, Friendster, and most other image search websites. Actual use is very easy. Once you are on a PicLens friendly page, you simply click an icon in
your browser, and WHAM. Picture viewing at its best. I'm currently researching a way to
integrate this within one of my sites. I'll keep you posted. In the meantime, go to
Google Images and try it out.
Very impressive.
For you hackers, it's British Open Time. Should be a pretty interesting tournament considering that Tiger Woods
won't be there. As I type, the first round is underway with gusting winds and rain. Yup, it's definitely the British Open.
Hope your day goes well.
July 16th, 2008
Wednesday.
I am sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo running late, that it's pathetic. I really should
be in the car and driving to work; however, my day would surely be shit if i didn't update. No, really. So with that said, pictures are here and i'm out the door.
July 15th, 2008
Tuesday.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY VIOLET STORM ! !
Not to be confused with Stormy, Violet is a friend from home who has only recently joined us on the Forum. If you get a chance, stop by there and wish her a
Happy Birthday.
While on the subject of birthdays, don't forget to stop by and wish a Happy 90th, Nelson Mandela. While
you've missed the big screen showing of all the messages (it was june 27th), you can still drop the ol' man a line wishing him well. Nell-o has been through a lot to make
it to 90. Here I am aching and bitching at 35.
A quick reminder that sign-ups are under way for the 2008 Fantasy Football Season. Last year we fielded 16 teams and had great time
making fools of ourselves. We use the Yahoo! setup, so if you have a Yahoo email address, you are ready to go. You can head on over to Yahoo's Sign Up Page and
get registered. Here is what you need to know:
Group Number: 20038 Group Password: shark13
To up the cuteness factor around here a bit: an Envelope Opening Bunny. Would be kinda cool to keep
one of these on the desk. Be hell on the cats though. Who am I kidding? I only check my mail once a week. The lil sumbitch would starve if left up to me.
Enough cuteness. Had to finish up with a little ass kicking. Nobody beats Bruce. Deal with it.
July 14th, 2008
Monday.
You can definitely tell that today is Monday. Not sure watdhell that's about, but it's definitely gonna be one of those days.
Make sure to catch this year's Baseball All-Star Game. Even if you
despise baseball, this is the first and last year that it will be played in Yankee Stadium. A lot of history in the "House that Ruth built", but I guess
threes a lot of money in a
new stadium, huh? Homerun derby is tonight, which is always a blast. Watch what you want. It'll be gone next year.
I'm out of here till tomorrow, kiddies. Enjoy the day.
July 13th, 2008
Sunday.
Double Catch for the 'Bestest' day of the month. Every day should be the 13th.
A quick follow-up from yesterday, I've started to get a few reports back from movies being watched on Watch-Movies.net.
So far, The Incredible Hulk is a very nice version. Good quality and sound. Plus, HellBoy II has just
hit the download list. It has a pretty high star count, so I'd expect that's a good copy.
Mental note to self: NEVER let Mack manage my money. I had completely forgotten about the Stock Market Challenge until Wesley reminded me a few days ago. Funny thing is: he had lost his link to the game entirely, so
I didn't feel so bad. Fourth place out of nine isn't that bad. I'd probably have a better chance taking your $100,000 and betting it all on a single blackjack hand. The way the Stock Market has been going recently,
that sounds like pretty good investment advice.
Enjoy your Sunday. Tomorrow is back to the grind.
July 12th, 2008
Saturday. Sit at home, Saturday.
Alright, so today's link is definitely a time waster. In fact, I can almost bet you'll spend at least an extra two hours at your computer today. If not today, the first
day you click the link, you most likely will. What can be that good?
Watch-Movies.net is an every day person's dream. For all of you who are constantly asking me where to get bootleg movies and the like . . . .. .
HERE YA GO. What's better . . . . . you can download OR stream online and watch from your PC. I guess I should also tell you that these are CURRENT DAY MOVIES. I watched Hancock at Wesley's house the other day and I, myself, downloaded
"The Mutant Chronicles" to watch later tonight. Bear in mind, a lot of these videos will be poor quality or the sound may be jumpy. However, also bear in mind that you are not paying $8+ to pay for a movie that you may or may not like.
Incidentally, I'm glad i didn't pay for Hancock. I'm just saying . . . . .
Take some time today and watch some movies. It's too hot to be in the heat as it is. Tanks to Wesley and Franco for finding this one. Really good stuff here.
July 11th, 2008
Friday. Fleeting Friday.
I suppose the best way to start your extra day off is to sleep incredibly late. Unfortunately, I didn't do that. I did sleep a little longer than I usually do; however,
it was just long enough to make me late for the few things i have planned today. In other words, this will be quick.
At some point today, maybe i should re-do my home with Super Mario Wallpaper.
Talk about a nice touch to any room. Of course, a Resident Evil pattern would be even cooler.
Requested Feature Friday. I received quite a few favorable responses the last time I posted body parts, so I couldn't resist the request. I still have a few more requests to work on,
so bear with me.
Hope your Friday goes well. I'm off to cut grass and do yard work before the rain makes a comeback. Till tomorrow.
July 10th, 2008
Thursday.
Who would have ever guessed that those toy guns that shoot lil yellow balls we played with as children would ever hit the big time?? How big? Well, there is a
AirSoft World Championship that's held. That should be enough said on the enormity of it.
Cool thing is, these guys are able to move easier and look cooler with lighter guns and smaller ammo. Still wondering how you tell if you hit someone . . . .
Canadian or not, this 13-year old Can Shoot Some Hockey. The Spinning Death Shot is one of the most impressive things
I've ever seen in the sport. Hands down. I would break my neck just trying to get out on the ice. Expect big things from this boy.
Last day of the work week for me. Hopefully it goes smoothly. Hopefully.
July 9th, 2008
Wednesday.
It is definitely a Hump Day today. Hell, I'm only working 4 days this week, so this should be my Thursday. Notice the word, Should.
If you get the chance, click the Battle Dawn Banner today. The link will actually benefit Kendall,
the leader of our group, and he definitely needs all the help he can get. As for myself, I'm thinking it's about time to kick the habit once again. I originally got back into the game
with the sole purpose of helping Kendall get started. Now, 500+ hours into it, Kendall is ranked #1 and the SHRK Alliance is in the top notch as well. It's a good start. After the last 24 hours, I've come
to realize why I had stepped away to begin with. Too much of a time killer and stress builder. I haven't made a final decision yet; however, it's looking like I may see the outside before Summer is over
after all.
With that said, I'm out of here kiddies. Work calls and until I win the Lotto, I must obey. Hope your day goes well and I'll definitely see you tomorrow.
July 8th, 2008
Tuesday.
Hmmm . . . . . . . i'm thinking there is something Wrong With These Buildings. Then again, that
little trick with ATM would probably save me a fortune.
I've been a fan of Seether since Day 1. Love them boys. So let's take a listen / looksie at "Fake It". This song will forever
rank up there with my favorite Seether songs. I definitely need to see these guys live again.
And finally . . . . "The Devil Went To Jamaica" is a fantastic parody on a classic song. I think, in time, the parody could become a classic
as well. Too damn funny.
Off to work. Hope your day goes well.
July 7th, 2008
Monday.
Someone has some explaining to do. FedEx Delivers The Wrong Package. That's right,
someone's 200 pounds of marijuana went to the wrong address, thus leading to some people getting busted. howDhell do you get that much herb through FedEx? I've lost all faith now.
Actually, I'm just pissed they didn't accidentally leave it here.
For those of you who appreciate a good, humorous, yet technical read, you are gonna love, A Stress Analysis of a Strapless Gown.
Laz sent me this yesterday afternoon and I love it. It does get a little technical, but it also shows that science can explain/prove just about anything. Now if someone can show me the formula to develop a black hole so i can throw all capri pants into it, then we are cooking.
I hope your long weekend went well. Mine was very restful . . . . or at least should have been. No one to blame but myself and the damn need to be in front of this computer. watDhell is that about?
July 6th, 2008
Sunday.
First and foremost, a little clarification on yesterday's cryptic post. Nothing is wrong, believe it or not. Kendall has seemingly ended any chance of a quiet day
at home by earning our team a First Place Standing in Battle Dawn. Now the game
is a lllooooooooooooonnnnngggggggggg way from over (approx. 125+ days remain), but it still makes for exciting play. Now, does this mean that I'll be strapped to my desk
chair for the next 5 months? Well . . . . it is the SHRK Alliance, so yeah, I guess it does.
Speaking of games, with the Olympics coming up, I thought I'd share a little game with you. Virtual Ping Pong is
definitely tough and definitely a time killer. The mechanics/movements are easy, it's the damn computer opponent that's tough. Hell, I figured the South Korean would go easy, but I'm guessing he had Greyhound for dinner cause
he was tough. Let me know how you do.
If ping pong is a little to complicated, try the E-Racer Game. Talk about a simple game. Erase the blackboard as fast as you can.
Simple. Of course, that "fast as you can" part is what will give you some trouble. I logged a miserable 17.5 seconds on a board that had Eddie from Iron Maiden. Surely someone can beat that. If not, we all deserve to be cleaning the slates when
we're done.
Hope your Sunday goes well. Not sure what I'm doing today, but it will definitely involve laying on the sofa at some point. Till tomorrow.
July 5th, 2008
Saturday.
It's gonna be one of those days. I can tell already.
July 4th, 2008
Freedom Friday.
HAPPY 4TH OF JULY ! ! !
What better way to celebrate than with fireworks. Below is a small sample of videos that I found to honor the day. They are all courtesy of YouTube, so feel free
to click away in mixed company. I'll be back later in the morning to throw some commentary beside each link.
Nice Shot(s) -- U.S. Marines doing what they do best: Kicking Ass. Nice background music from Filter and I would
definitely agree with the title. "Hey Man, Nice Shot."
Air Force / Marine Compilation -- I'm not going to use any of those terms like, "Shock and Awe" or "Thunder and Lightening". Those
are so overplayed. To me, it's all an ass kicking anyway.
Superior Slideshow -- A slide show of the "Greatest Military In The World", this little piece brings together some of the best images
from the best (worst) places. Fantastic photography, killer musical score.
Thunderbirds Video -- Ahhhhh, the pride and joy of the United States Air Force. I grew up watching both the Thunderbirds and Blue Angels perform at various
air shows. I have no preference of the two, especially considering that I can't even dream of pulling off some of these
maneuvers. Talent. Pure talent.
Marines Kicking Ass In Fallujah -- Did I mention that Marines kick ass? Here they are
tussling in the town of Fallujah. I'm guessing that after shooting that many rounds with your rifle, you are very damn glad that the tanks
roll in and mop up. Gotta love armor.
Wasting Insurgents Compilation -- At this point in warfare, I think this may be the new meaning of "Death From Above". Some of our guys need to improve their aim, but then again, when the shells are that big, you don't have to
be exact.
Damn Good Body Armor -- So..... when they do all this praising, and the guy gets back up, does that mean their god has forsaken them?
Long Range Ass Busting -- I'm not exactly sure what they are shooting here. I've read goats and i've read snipers. Either way, it's damn good shooting.
Today's Feature is xoxo Leah. She's a hot little thang who believes in peroxide and make-up, but you can't hold that against her. Her body is smokin', so I imagine there a lot
of other things you'd prefer to hold against her.
Hope you enjoy the videos. In this day and age, I thought it the appropriate way to kick off the holiday. Regardless of your political beliefs, you have to support our boys in the trenches. Day in and day out, they are the ones
doing their jobs regardless of the cost. Hate the Boss, not the worker.
Be safe. Lots of drought conditions throughout the country, so be careful if you shoot fireworks. Till tomorrow.

Thursday.
Fantasy Football Registration continues. We are using Yahoo once again, so it's FREE to play. None of us are really
that good, so it ends up being a lot fun. We managed to field 16 teams last year, so it would be nice to top that. If you think you are interested, visit the Fantasy Football Thread
over on the Forum. All the sign up info can be found there.
Now that's one good Dead Bolt. Fellas, learn a lesson here. This is a prime reason why you don't
leave the strange chick behind after a night of raw, sweaty sex. They'll get girl cooties on your deodorant. A repost by request, this little video makes me smile.
Here's a PERFECT example of my luck: TechTV Fumble. Not sure if I'm the old man or the old part, but that about sums it up
for me. You've seen this one before as well; however, I wanted to put both of these videos back into system, plus it gives everyone an easy link to pass around. Or at least, I hope to pass around.
Last day of the short week. I hope the work part goes quick. Hope.

Wednesday. Whistle Along Once Again.
I really enjoyed posting the music last week, so i thought I'd share a few more of my favorites with you. The song above is way up on my list of favorites and for many reasons. First and foremost: Candy Dulfer Is Hot. Let's be real. She was smokin back then.
Second: Dave Stewart Kicks Ass. The man on guitar you may recognize from The Eurythmics or even a Tom Petty video or two. Dave is truly one of the Masters of our time. You may just not know it yet.
Slight change of gears ahead. "Bullet With A Name" is one of my favorite driving songs. Not really sure what that's about, but it gets me where I'm going. The video, courtesy of UTb, is a Trigun compendium that happens to have good quality sound
and video. That's rare. Good editing job for a great song.
Did someone say Tom Petty earlier? How funny. "Southern Accents" is a fabulous song in so many ways I'm not real sure where to start.
Tom Petty is so fantabulous I could even begin to start gushing. Incidentally, I've now watched the Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers biography on the Sundance Channel a total of 4 times through. Did I mention that it's 4 hours long?
Oh yeah. Well worth it. I had the pleasure of seeing Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers show last year and it impressed me so much, I had to find a concert video.
I have to tell you that there is a Johnny Cash Version of this song. I'm not sure if its the song or the fact that it's Johnny Cash. I mean, I hate country music, but can
listen to the Man in Black ANYTIME. There will never be another voice or personality like Johnny. I should warn you that it will most definitely make you tear up. If not, let me know. I'll come to your house and kick you in the ball sack a few times.
Not to leave you on a down note, let's take a trip down memory lane. Or should I say street? "Techno Sesame Street" has been around for a very, VERY long time. I still love it to this day.
Every time I hear it, I imagine the entire cast at a seedy nightclub, getting all hammered and ugly. Cookie Monster molesting young girls for their "cookie". The Count trying to rip off the tip jar. Bert and Ernie grinding on the dance floor. Mine those were good times.
Hope you enjoyed the tunes. If not the tunes, the videos. If not the videos, then today's Catch. If you're not happy after that, kiss my ass.

Tuesday. Half Way Through.
July 1st. WatDhell? If I'm correct, this is pretty much the half way point of the year, and I really have nothing to show for it. Now it just a matter of
starting now or writing off the whole year. Some holes are just tooo damn deep to dig out from.
First lesson of July: Don't Wave At Tanks. Talk about dedication
to your trade. While common sense tells you its about to happen, the cameraman stays with the shot. . . . . pun intended.
Hmmmmmm . . . . . . after having quite a bit of difficulty with my FTP client, I'm thinking i may be done for the day. It's not that I don't have more to post, I'm just simply out of time. Hope your Tuesday goes well.
Half way through the year and half way through the week. Enjoy.
