Slingboxing

Sunday, July 19th, 2009

By jove if I’ve paid for my cable TV I want to watch my cable TV.  No matter where I am.No matter what time it is.

You know you want the same thing.

So what are you going to do about it?  I said, WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT IT?!

WE WANT CABLE AND WE AREN”T GOING TO TAKE THIS ANYMORE!!

So we each have to go out and get a Slingbox so that we can solve this problem once and for all.

YEAH!

More posters

Sunday, July 19th, 2009

In my ongoing search to find hilarity and randomness on the internet (and then post it here for your eternal enjoyment), I present to you one of the most random images ever conceived. Yeah, it’s awesome.

In addition to that bit of awesomeness comes something that is both wrong and funny. I haven’t decided if it is more wrong than funny, or more funny than wrong. I’ll let you judge for yourself.

If You Give a Computer a Router

Sunday, July 19th, 2009

If you feel the need to expand your home network and bring another computer into the cable modem fold, you’re going to need some kind of router.  The Linksys router would do the job for you.

But if  you give a computer a router, it’s going to want a wireless modem.

So you give it the wireless modem.  Then it wants to download full length movies every night.

So you let it and it runs out of memory after 6 months.  Then it wants another computer pulled into the network.

You can see how this goes.

Chaotic Good

Sunday, July 19th, 2009

Continuing on with the previous theme of examples of the classic D&D alignments brings us to today’s topic of Chaotic Good. This has to be one of the strangest alignments that the game has to offer. I would always imagine someone randomly roaming the countryside performing random acts of kindness. My previous example of the Chaotic Good alignment was Minsc. This may be too obscure for the masses. He was a character in the Baldur’s Gate video game series who was hit over the head too often, carried a miniature giant space hamster, and like to yell, “Butt kicking for goodness.”

Here are some more examples:

V for Vendetta – “Governments should be afraid of their people”

The Mythbusters – “Seeking the truth AND blowing stuff up”

House – “It’s not lupus”

Wolverine – “Do the right thing, even if you have to kill EVERYONE”

Bilbo Baggins – “I may be a burglar, but I am an honest one, I hope, more or less.”

The Incredible Hulk – “Hulk SMASH!!!”

Mary Poppins – “Mary Poppins, practically perfect in every way”

The A-Team – “Pitying fools since 1983″

Misuse of Music

Sunday, July 19th, 2009

Ipods have become the bane of my existence. Don’t get me wrong – I love mine. It’s red and sleek and has more memory than I could ever hope for. And it’s one of the older ones so it doesn’t even have as much memory or even features as the newer ones have.

But EVERYBODY has one and they use them at the most inappropriate times.

Like during school.
Like when I’m talking to them.
Like when I’m answering their question and they tell me to give them a second so they can skip ahead to a song they like so they can listen to it WHILE I’m answering their question.

GRRR!!! ARGH!!!!!

Harry Potter Book 7

Sunday, July 19th, 2009

Harry Potter has broken the $150 million mark and is on its way to make an unfathomable profit.

Do any of us wonder why book 7 is being split into 2 movies?

By show of hands, how many of us think it’s because the book is long and they don’t want to leave anything out?

Yeah I don’t believe it either.

Decorating Choice

Sunday, July 19th, 2009

In the rental in which I currently live, the decorators did something kind of interesting. They used porcelain tile to cover the counters throughout the house.

As a matter of fact they used the exact same tile for the floors, shower stall and counters. This makes a bit of sense because then you don’t need to keep extra tiles of 3 different varieties on hand for when a tile gets cracked and needs to be replaced. And since this is a rental aesthetics aren’t that big a deal to either the owner or myself.

However, if this were my house to decorate, I’d definitely change it up at least for the shower stall.

Personalized cards

Sunday, July 19th, 2009

I’m willing to bet that everybody reading this article knows somebody with a birthday or an anniversary this month (if not, then next month). With all of these birthdays and other celebrations coming up, you better plan ahead with the perfect card. Even if you’re hosting the party and need to send out party invitations, you can get the cards that you need for much cheaper than the local store online. Party on!

Chaotic Evil

Sunday, July 19th, 2009

With even more popularity for the inspirational posters or motivational posters with funny captions, we will be reviewing some other options for chaotic evil characters. The type of characters that do bad stuff without warning. Being mean and destroying stuff just for the heck of it.

Alex from A Clockwork Orange – “Real horrorshow”

Hannibal the Cannibal – “I ate his liver with some fava beans and a nice chianti”

The Joker – “Why so serious?”

Norman Bates – “A boy’s best friend is his mother”

Caligula – “Let them hate us so long as they fear us”

The Crimson King – “Ya ken?”
