And the hits keep coming...

Ran across this doozy this evening. Easily cracks my top 5 as one of the funniest things I've EVER seen. Also makes the top 5 list for scariest. Because unfortunately, these people live amongst us all. What hurts the most is that I believe in God (or some higher power/spirit/being). And it's people like this that get all the press, and destroy the credibility of reasonable, sane Christians.

After that ridiculous presentation, I realize now that Mike must still be hanging out with Boner.

Domesticated

The product I've been eagerly awaiting was finally delivered to my home today. And I'm not even ashamed to admit that I LOVE IT! My hatred for folding laundry is well known, but now, not only do I get perfect shirt folds every time, it's kind of... fun? (Wow, that sounded like a sound-bite from a HSN commercial.) Now, as much as I love this thing, I think we all know it's not going to replace my dependence on "fluff-and-fold" laundries. It ain't that damn fun. But nonetheless, it resolves my pet-peeves of not being able to fold my T-shirts consistently and quickly.

As seen on TV!

And just to make sure I kept some semblance of masculinity, you know I had to get mine in black.

Quick Hits - 5/30

I really need to discuss the NBA Finals, but I can't. Don't want to jinx anything. Let's just say though after last night's win, I was like Hammy from Over the Hedge.

Time Warner is the worst. First, my HD DVR crapped out, and so I ended up losing something very special I had recorded. Kobe's 81 point game. That was bad enough, but now the box they've replaced it with sucks! The old box was a MOXI, this new one is some piece of crap with the worst user interface imaginable. Yes Melissa, I know... it's TiVo time.

It pains me to no end to say this, but that Digital Underground album that came out earlier this week? Eh.

Got the Wii Fit this week, and it's definitely a workout. One of the reasons is that your "trainer" goes so damn slow, you're forced to do every repetition with perfect technique, and you need to hold that position longer than you normally would. Also, this game has shown me that apparently I have no balance whatsoever.

The Lost season finale last night was awesome. Lots of revelations. But since we're talking about Lost, my head is spinning even more so than before the episode aired.

I'm re-reading Watchmen for about the fifth time. I know it's already in post-production so it's too late, but can we please put a stop to this Watchmen movie? I normally don't care about books (even comic books or graphic novels) being made into movies, because I think of them as two different mediums that each bring something to the table. In theory, comic books can work because you're not necessarily re-telling a story that has already been told. It's why comic movie sequels work so well. The first movie is normally a re-hashing of the hero's origin, which has already been defined. The sequels allow the movie writers more freedom to tell stories that have never been told, while getting to play in the sandbox the original comic authors have created. In the case of Watchmen, Alan Moore's brilliant piece of literature is a book with a definitive beginning, middle and end. Will moviegoers allow the screenwriters any freedom with this revered text? I know I won't. It's way too dense, complex and intelligent to possibly work in a single movie. What hopefully will end up happening is what happened with Sin City. Just shoot the movie(s) panel for panel, and hope that the acting and visual effects brings a new element to an already outstanding tale. My take.. Watchmen has been done, and it was done perfectly the first time around. Please, please, please, leave it alone. Oh, and you know I'll be one of the first in line to see it.

Quick Hits - 5/24

"Trading Places" is undoubtedly one of my favorite movies, and an all-time classic. But I wonder if I'm the only one (even after 50 or so viewings) that still gets confused by the ending? I get the premise, (they sell the frozen concentrated orange juice shares high, and buy low) but who were they selling/buying for? How'd they get on the trading floor? Ah... I won't think about it too much.

ESPN columnist and contributor Jemele Hill has one of THE best sports blogs out today. Nicely designed too. She always has something intelligent, thought-provoking, and relevant to say, without yelling and screaming at you. (Yeah, I'm talking about you Stephen A.)

I wish video game developers would start paying more attention to how Nintendo makes their signature games. Yes, high-definition graphics and rendering is great. But you know what would be cool? Creative, imaginative and just plain fun gameplay. There's a reason I'm spending most of my time racing a cartoon plumber around a psychedelic racetrack, as opposed to grinding through the next lame-ass first person shooter.

I'm sorry ladies, but the "Sex and the City" movie is going to be TERRIBLE. Don't say I didn't warn you.

You know I have so much to say regarding this year's NBA MVP and playoffs. Every thought will be articulated upon the ending of said playoffs.

Digital Underground's new album "Cuz a DU Party Don't Stop" is coming out this Tuesday!

The number of people in a meeting is inversely proportional to the number of good ideas or tasks that come out of that meeting. Examples:

• Inter-departmental meeting on Wednesday; 12 people, 1 decent idea, 1 shitty task to complete.
• Departmental meeting on Tuesday; 8 people, 2 really good ideas.
• Team meeting last week; 3 people, 4-5 good ideas that were thoroughly discussed and transformed into 3 task items.

There is no discernable difference between Coors Light and water.

This Wednesday night bowling league is going to give me so much blog material. Unfortunately, I won't be able to post 75% of it because there are people at work who read this blog. And they might be easily offended.
