Owned

Silver Spring just got OWNED. By us. We closed on our house. Exciting I know. We will be having a party there in no time.

Speaking of getting owned........




That guy is probobly going to get the hell beat out of him behind the scenes. But seriously, Who throws a shoe?

Honestly?

Yeah I'm sure somebody has already made the joke but it's still funny.

Anyway, that's rediculous. Almost as rediculous is the lack of 13th floors in buildings. This is the stupidest architectural commonality. If you're on the 14th guess what? You're actually on the 13th floor. Get over it. This idea is almost as crazy as the 7 1/2 floor in Being John Malkovich.

Random thought. I want to climb the globe in Leisure World. Anyone down for it?

I went home to Connecticut for Thanksgiving. Had some good times. Going back again for Christmas.

As I was driving I saw this girl driving a mustang with the liscense plate Soulja Grl. Come on. She obviously wasnt as cool as Soulja Barney.

As I was driving I also saw a sign in Maryland for a decoy museum. I'm sure some of you may have heard of it before but my first thought was that they have this fake museum. They trick you to come up and then oh suprise there's no museum it's just a decoy.



NEWS..............................

I can't believe somebody stole an ambulence in november.

The worst part is that it has happened before.

And even before that.

In a world like this, who are you going to call?

This whole bailout situation is getting messy. Maybe if GM made the prototypes that people actualy wanted they would increase their profits.

Not Porno

So we saw Zach and Miri Make a Porno. Pretty good movie.





..... and to answer all you questions, no the movie is not titled "Zach and Lorna." You all think you're pretty funny don't you. Not original.





But on another fun note. You know what are sweet drinking games. Here's some original ones that I've wanted. They would be perfect for Shotfest 2000(Shotfest 2000 is a party that I want to have with nothing but shots everywhere. Many different kinds of shots pre-mixed in pourers to provide a great atmosphere. The would have nothing to do with the year but each successive Shotfest would increase in number. 2001, 2002, 2003, etc.)


Kind of like plinko from the Price Is Right except instead of getting money you get a random shot. I went to a party once in college where they had actually constructed their own....... How creepy was Bob Barker's microphone by the way. It screamed out serial molester.

I feel like everybody used to watch that show when they were home from school sick. The big wheel was so unfair though. Everything else was based on the skill of price guessing and then the chance to go to the showdown comes up to a random wheel spin.

Anyway back to the drinking, this one is pretty cool as well.

It is like shot roulette. Roulette is evil, I found out first hand. I still claimed victory. In this roulette though there could be no losers. Unless you count losing your lunch.

So now that we have determined that drinking is fun. You know what else is fun?

CAT IN A BOX

Yeah I think so as well.

For all you that own a Wii, and those that should be getting one because it's cool. You need to watch this video. The guy gets kind of technical and crazy but watch it through. He explains how it is possible to view 3-d wii through your TV. I was skeptical once I first heard about this but seeing it in action is amazing.

STUFF I FOUND>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Check out this picture from a circular. This scale really sells itself.

Why would you want a scale that says Uh-Oh when you step on it? Very motivating. Way to really sell this by putting "Yikes" on it as well. This could only work as a gag gift.

NEWS>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Some of you know my feelings about pirates. How they are just like the terror bringers of our current time period and why should they be celebrated and what not. However it is fun and I can't knock that.

Pirates are back and in a big way. Piracy has skyrocketed this year.

http://www.cnn.com/2008/WORLD/africa/11/18/kenya.tanker.pirates/index.html

Especially in Somalia where pirates in little boats capture enire ships with rocket launchers. Apparently there are 17 ships being held right now including one loaded with armored vehicles.

Who is to blame? I blame Johnny Depp.

Just kidding. I blame Jerry Bruckheimer.

Doesn't he look a little too much like an aged Clay Aiken in this picture.

On another note people magazine announced it's sexiest man of the year.

Lastly, as stores begin to close locations left and right, it seems gift cards are a poor choice for this Christmas. Apparently Circuit City, Ann Taylor, Zales, Pacific Sun, etc. are getting hit hard.

We got us a townhouse

So they accepted the contract that we put down on the townhouse and we're now just waiting on the inspection. If all things go well we should move in in a couple months. It will be a bit of work but it will be worth it in the end


HALLOWEEN >>>>>>>>>>>

So I wanted to be Chris Hansen for Halloween (from "To catch a predator." If you haven't seen it, it's a real addicting show.)
However, I needed one person to play a decoy young girl and one person to play a creepy guy predator and I couldn't convince anyone to play along. I decided my costume wouldn't be as great just by itself so I will just have to hold off until another year when I can recruit the two other people needed. Keep that in mind everybody.

Instead I went as Jim Halpert from the Office

I think I made it work. Check out the Jim smirk face. That's right, I got it down. Maybe I could play Dwight and Michael as well one year.


COMMERCIALS>>>>>>>>>>

The Oxyclean guy is kind of intense. But I feel like he belongs on the just for men beard commercial. His beard is ridiculous. It's practically darker than his hair.

Speaking of commercials, how creepy is the voice on the empire carpet commercials. He sounds like a stalker. And that jingle. It doesn't even rhyme. It really bothers me that they have this sing song jingle that goes nowhere and doesn't rhyme.

Lastly why does the empire carpet guy have his own bobblehead. I guess anybody can have their own bobblehead these days.
STUFF I FOUND>>>>>>>>>

So once again it's time for the section where I find something wierd and took a picture with my camera phone.

This backup camera is a little rediculous first of all. See if you can see anything wierd going on.

Bet you missed it. Look at the screen that displays what is seen on the backup camera. Why is this guy so close to running over his wife and child. Maybe he should've stopped before he was inches from their faces.

NEWS>>>>>>>>>>>>>

So voter approved the decriminalization of weed in Massachusetts. I bet I know a couple people who are thinking of moving to Boston now. If you get caught with it up there now supposedly they will only confiscate it and give you a $100.00 fine with nothing going on your record. Basically that downgrades possesion to the same level as possesion of alcohol by a minor to put that in perspective. Not that I know anything about possesion of alcohol by a minor or anything.

Jaywalking, I do it sometimes. But I am smart about it. I make sure no cars are coming, unlike the mothers darting across the street with their baby carriages. Damn you Wheaton traffic

The Beatles knew how to use sidewalks.

Aparently now DC is going to get real strict on ticketing for jaywalking, so watch yourself.

Nader? What is wrong with him? He can't at least wait a couple months to make himself a jack ass. This soon after the election? He uses the term "Uncle Tom" when referring to Barack Obama. Don't Watch this if you don't want to be made upset. I guess Nader wants less votes next time he runs than the 1% of the popular vote he managed this time.
