  • That Spoiled Meme

    A lot of people seem to be doing this meme to determine if you are spoiled. I got about halfway through it and got annoyed and punted on it. I gotta agree with the commenters on the above post that this was obvious written by someone young who doesn’t have a clue.

  • Overheard on the Mud

    Seen while hanging out on one of the various muds I spend time on:

    My Son is listening to the exchange between me and the controller and wants to chime in on the conversion. I said to my son, “Just hang on; I will give you a chance”. I never should have said that because now he is all excited to talk on the radio. As I start to turn inbound on the turn, the Approach control said “Contact tower when established on the localizer”. So I told my young Padawan Learner “OK, when this needle gets here on the dial, push the radio button and tell the tower that 93 Romeo is inbound on the localizer”.

    Now imagine this, I am giving basic instrument instruction to a 9 year old. Before I can give him something simpler to say he keys the mike and says “REBEL BASE, THIS IS RED 5. WE ARE STARTING OUR ATTACK RUN ON THE DEATH STAR”.

    Now this was post 9/11, and before I can key my mike and say anything, the tower jumps on and says “RED 5, YOUR CLEARED FOR THE APPROACH TO THE DEATH STAR. REPORT HITS AWAY”

    I’m still curious the source of this, so if anyone has seen it elsewhere let me know.

    EDIT: Original story can be found here I recommend checking it out.

  • Unstuck

    Quiz of the Moment:

    After you die…
    Unstuck in Time

    After death, you will become unstuck in time, and re-live various moments of your life. Time will cease to exist. One moment you will be learning to catch butterflies, the next you will be using your walker to go to the bathroom. You will live on forever in this way, constantly reliving the sweetest and not so sweetest of moments.

  • My PersonalDNA

    Another week another test. This one is my PersonalDNA, a mapping of my personality. Here it is:

    Kind of interesting test, but not much different from others like it.

  • Compare and Contrast

    Swiped from Bookslut. Compare and contrast Brokeback Mountain and Curious George, as written by a freshman.

    Although Curious George and Brokeback Mountain share many similarities, they also share many differences. Both involve men in hats, but the meaning of the hat changes.

    Curious George is the story of a monkey and the man he adopts. The Man in the Yellow Hat works in a museum, where he never figures out that Drew Barrymore has a crush on him. He must be gay or something. He gets sent to Africa to find a statue that could save the museum. He doesn’t, but he could of if he had figured out how to read the map. A monkey steals his hat, which is like stealing his identity, but it’s a hat. It’s an example of nature’s inhumanity to man. [Confessions of a Community College Dean] [via Bookslut]

  • The IT Crowd

    I just took in the first three episodes of The IT Crowd, a new comedy on Channel 4 UK. It’s about the members of an IT group working in the basement of a large company. It’s silly, has many geeky moments, and is pretty damn fun (though it did take an episode or two for me to get into it. The show is from Father Ted creator Graham Linehan and seems to have much of that same kind of feel.

    Recommended if you like british comedy shows. You can find it at the usual bittorrent sources.
