who said..

Who said basketball playas aren't smart? These are college students, damnit. Show them the respect they deserve. Especilly these ones from West Virgina. Okay, I probably won't not have noticed it either if I were them, but it is a funny picture none the less. Thanks Mary.

in case

In case you can't get into the site listed at the bottom of yesterday's post, here is the screen shot of John McCain's site. This is the best gag yet and how it was pulled off was priceless. I had a hard time getting in earlier today. I guess this guy is getting a lot of traffic.














A while back I made a joke about how the zune colors came to be. Here is a site that lets you make cartoons, so I made a version of that joke.

Just because...

Just because you are young, black, and funny, does not mean you know how to drive a supercar. In case you don't know, that is an Enzo Ferrari. Easily a million bucks of history he is driving here.
Eddie Griffin Crashes Ferrari Enzo - Click Here for more great videos and pictures! *warning.. this is kind of hard to watch*

-I don't know if this video is real or set up, but what is real is that Ford recalled thousands of trucks because they are shooting flames out the tailpipe. This video claims to be an example of it. I want to know what the odd ticking sound is. Yes, the truck is a diesel, but it is not that. Anyhow, here's the vid.


-John McCain comes out in support of gay marraiges.. especially between 2 really hot women. Too funny, read the whole story here.

Saturday.

-Ranger Rick came over today and helped us figure out what we are going to plant around the house. We went shopping and got a table and chairs for the patio. Those are nice and we will enjoy sitting back there looking over the pond. Found some low voltage lights at Menard's discounted down to $40 for 8 of them. Gotta love that.

-I went to Matt Hotch's website to see what he has been up to. I have not been there for a long time (almost a year). The site is very nice, but a year ago it was really impressive. He has a new bike there called the Vincent. Pretty bad ass looking bike. The brake disks are attached to the wheels instead of the hub. I guess Ranger Rick's Beul has the same setup. The other bike on Hotch's website has the disk mounted on the drive gear on the gearbox so that the back wheel is clean. Kind of a cool setup also.

Friday!

Closed on the house today. It was not the happy day I had hoped for, but I am glad it is done and we can get on with it now.

-Fark had this link to a big ass railroad. It is in the basement of our new house. Yea right.

-These are cool as hell. Who doesn't need a box-end fork? Here is the link so Steve can order a set.

Thursday

I am off work tomorrow. Closing on the old house. Glad to be done with that.

Fark had this one. Just the title alone is worth the click.

So I was thinking alot about the1984 spoof for Obama that has gone viral. Then today it came out who made it. After reading the article it kind of confirms what I was thinking. That the power is shifting now away from the main-stream political machine. I think that was the point he was making in that ad.
But there is also another really big issue here. It also raises accountability issues on how campaigns are run. They said in the article that some organizations are looking to hire him because he made a commercial with such impact, but he could have never done that if he worked for them. So who is to say that some party won't hire some geek under the table to make internet "user" ad's. No rules. No copyright infringement. No accountability. "they" are just expressing their opinions. So far over 2 million people have watched it on YouTube alone.
Stay tuned. I think this is going to be big.

The first kid in this video really cracked me up. Nothing like a good infant belly laugh to put a smile on your face.

OH HELL NO! School in MI bans students from having MySpace accounts. They say that 99.9% if parents support the move. If that is so, then here is another headline: 99.9% of parents in MICHIGAN SUCK ASS! Why would you wait for a school to tell your kids not to do something that you consider bad? Not to mention the fact that where does the school get off telling them what they can do at home.

sunday

I spent the day working on the other house. They are going to inspect it tomorrow. I had to take care of a few things before they did. That wound up taking up all day, but it is done.

" I don’t have much time to work on it,” says Olson, a high school senior in Michigan. “It’s more of a weekend project.
The kid is talking about the device he made in his basement that achieves nuclear fusion.
Oh, yea? Well when I was in high school I made a birdhouse!

-HERE is a really great story from Iowa that made it onto Fark.

-If you are going to document your crimes with a digital camera you are stupid. If you leave the camera at the crime scene, then you are beyond stupid. You are these guys.

-So the iPod has been out for over five years. Never have I seen one on sale anywhere. Why would they? Then there is this.

-and finally HERE is the coolest bathtub ever.
