my favorite headline from today...

now this is some good news:

Herald Sun: 3 coffees a day 'saves livers' [25jul03]: "DRINKING three cups of coffee a day can reduce the risk of fatal liver disease by up to 40 per cent."

sweet. my coffee addiction should counter my high-volume beer consumption. if i drink half coffee, half beer, i wonder if they'll immediately cancel each other out?

Star Wars Galaxies Character Builder...

so i posted awhiles back about the availability of Star Wars Galaxies, the massive online multiplayer...i know a number of my friends are on it, and one of the guys at work showed me this character builder site, where you can enter your own character data, or template out a character to see how your points will spend...saves all that time doing "math." it's pretty cool...

so here are the stats for my character, Traze Feraus.

news 'o the day

well, i thought it was a funny concept:
‘Hunts’ of nude women draw fire

apparently, many people find it offensive and abusive to women. this from las vegas, nevada. you remember las vegas? i think the state motto is "got whores?"

the men don't even sleep with the women, they just hit 'em with paint guns. i've played paintball. yes, sometimes it leaves a bruise, if it hits you wrong. but these men are hunting employees of the company, they aren't stalking the city paintballing any 'ol naked strippers. so critics, get over it...if someone offered you $2500 for 20 minutes to run in boxers through the woods while someone shot at you with a paint gun, you'd probably do it. hell, i would.

so here's what it is: it's funny.

but here's what it isn't: it isn't a political outlet. a quote from the article: "The women who think this is abusive and degrading need to put their attention where it should be, and I think that’s Afghanistan."

...where the f**k did that come from? i mean seriously, how do you string together such disconnected topics?

thank you, jackass. now stuff your political opinions and get back to taking large sums of money from stupid people.

headline of the week...

honestly, you just gotta read the article:
Pirate in trouble for sausage assault
see what happens when you run around dressed as a giant sausage?

personally, i love the photo of the giant smiling hotdog compassionately attempting to help the fallen sausage comrade. you just can't look seriously helpful as a 12 foot tall hotdog.

not a good product name...

i figure i owe you a pretty good post, after neglecting the site for two weeks...

so here you go.

you know what had to happen here. somewhere, in a boardroom, a new product was announced. and it needed a name. a meeting was called. a bunch of people sat around a table and threw out a bunch of names. some good, some bad, some that already existed. no one could agree on a name. then a guy like me cracks some wise-ass comment to make everyone laugh. "we could call 'em nut poppers," he says. but no one laughs. worse, the director liked the name. the guy can't explain that it's a joke, because it has already gone too far. and so we end up with this:
