Explain Something To Me
I’m posting a photo after the break that’s slightly NSFW, and I want you to tell me exactly what the hell these people were thinking. I want to know what the people in the photo were thinking, and I want to know what the hell the photographer was thinking.
Over 600 pounds of man!
Don’t mess with this dude’s favorite Jimmy Dean sausage. Just sayin’.
Check My Machine
So I got myself a new email machine over the weekend, as a reward for my two months of getting the hell out of my shithole apartment. My old one was about to get flung into the street thanks to its lack of RAM and dwindling battery life anyway, which was making simple internet surfing and blogging a chore.
Now I have a super-spiffy new machine to run into the ground over the next few years. Yaay!
It’s a Windows Vista machine. I hear everyone hates Vista, but so far aside from the 24 straight hours of downloading and installing updates, I don’t have any big complaints. Nitpicks though? Yeah I got some of those.
For example in the control panel there is no longer an icon for "Add/Remove Programs". That was too crazy simple and so it has been renamed as the much less helpful "Programs and Features". This, of course, also bumps it way down the list in your control panel, which is sorted alphabetically.
My new laptop has a built-in webcam and so I was looking forward to installing Microsoft Netmeeting and harassing my friends at work. Netmeeting is no longer included with Vista. Instead they’ve replaced it with a program that doesn’t do videoconferencing at all. Thanks for that.
Otherwise I think Vista is kinda neat. It’s like the Mac guy and the PC guy had a baby. How’s that mental image for ya?
What What?
This is from last night’s episode of South Park. At the time I was ready to declare it the funniest thing they’d ever dreamed up, but then this morning I found out that this is actually a parody of something that actually exists. I consider myself pretty net savvy, but I’d never seen the original version. Still, kudos South Park. Kudos.
Hitler Kaput!
So Russia has made a goofy Mel Brooks-ish movie about Hitler. And while this trailer is entirely in Russian with no English subtitles, you can get the gist of it: silly faces, funny gags, and lots of boobies.
I’m not sure Russia is using its new democracy to the best of its ability.
About 1:25 in though there’s a very bizarre cover of a popular Britney Spears song. I want this version as an MP3. You will too.
