Saw That One Coming

So what happens when you try and pull a prank on a ninja ... well bad things happen and you should have known better. I mean your roommate is Asian ... and by the looks of it, training to become a ninja ... or he just has the common sense of a 5 year old.

We Get It

This was a rather humorous comic that I Stumbled Upon the other day. Yes ... I know its bad when math jokes make me laugh but whatever floats your boat right? Take it or leave it folks, and remember ... whatever you do, don't divide by zero. Unless your Chuck Norris that is.[Not From Concentrate]

Because He Can, Thats Why

So there are people in the higher powers of the British government that are questioning why Prince William was allowed to land his helicopter in his girlfriends front yard. Well you know what, he is the Prince ... possibly future king of England, I'm pretty sure he gets to do what he wants. I mean seriously if I had the means to fly a military helicopter to impress my girlfriend (assuming I had one) I'm pretty sure I would do it. This situation reminds me of one of the best works of art of this century.

Stinger: Son, your ego is writing checks your body can't cash. You've been busted, you lost your qualifications as section leader three times, put in hack twice by me, with a history of high speed passes over five air control towers, and one admiral's daughter!
Goose: Penny Benjamin?

This guy knows how to play the game thats all I'm saying. And secondly I would like to know why this is such a big deal. Just another example of how the media uses stupid stuff to fill their papers. As much as I am sorry for a girl getting kidnapped in obscure African country it really has no effect on my life. I am sorry, I'm just getting tired of it. And lastly, to Prince William, your making us all look bad son. I mean guys do have the capacity to pull off pretty impressive stunts now and then but seriously ... not only are you a prince, you fly a helicopter, oh and did I mention ... you could be the next KING OF ENGLAND. Some guys just have it too easy.

This Kid Eats Pain for Breakfast

Okay I legit feel bad for this fine specimen of humanity. I mean eventually he will make millions being the godfather of an organized crime syndicate so powerful that movies will be made with him burning people alive in the opening scene. But right now this kid really doesn't have much going for him. Somehow I don't think he knows how to throw his weight around ... and he certainly has enough of it. So kid, if you make it through middle school ... my hat is off to you.

Another Fish in the Sea

Just remember that if you are one in a million there are 6,602 other people just like you.

I was cruising the internet looking for stuff to blog about and was frustrated by how friggin repetitive it is. And how many blogs there are. I swear I think I saw the RC Car playing the Mario theme song on five different blogs in an hour. Now this phenomenon I believe is referred to as the "echo-chamber." So what am I doing? I mean I've had a few posts about things I have observed in Romania but other than that I am just another wall for the echo to perpetuate. And this brings us to the larger problem of why do we blog. I mean everyone and their mother blogs. But then I was reminded of a thought I had about theater and how sometimes it is as much for the performer as it is for the audience. This is really just me thinking out loud. The 49th Pensieve is really a place for me to take what is redundant and spin it. One of my favorite memories of high school was when I read the morning announcements in such a way that I got reprimanded by the principle. So here is to me making the interesting stuff quirky.

Say What? [Deja Vu]

Being a strong supporter of George W. Bush (wow the last two post just alienated half my possible readers ... I'm on a roll) I have been bombarded by countless people telling me that he cant speak and anyone who sounds like him should not be allowed to lead our nation. I'm actually fairly certain that I received a book of "Bush-isms" one year from Santa. So it is nice to see every once an awhile someone else make a mistake ... and better yet, for someone to catch it. Now I have always been a believer that I am more concerned with what the President does rather than how it sounds in a press conference so I am not criticizing Obama for those mistakes. The first minute or so is just John Stewart being John Stewart but the second minute is what this post is about ... but take a minute, have a laugh.



Sounds to me like Mr. Obama isn't quite sure as to how that magic wand that he seems to have in his pocket actually works. Its a swish and flick motion Barack ... swish and flick.

Hi, I'm a Ninja [Tech Time]

I am a bit of a technology nerd if you haven't figured that out already. And one of the hazards of that particular field is ending up behind a giant wall that is your operating system and throwing insults at the opposing camp. So yes ... I pledge allegiance to the little four colors of the Microsoft flag. And yes, I love to hate apple. I stumbled upon this little comparison the other day and thought it was original enough to share with you. I've always wanted to be a ninja.I know that is a little small but follow the link to see a more legible version.

Best Fanboy Tattoo Ever

Okay so I am a serious fan of Tay Zonday. Maybe that was a bit much. Take two: I love Tay Zonday's music and could probably watch the Cherry Chocolate Rain commercial 25 times a day. But someone out there is following in the footsteps of the Zune Guy and got a tattoo of Tay with the famous line from the original Chocolate Rain. Check it out.
I applaud who ever is the crazy dude who had this put on his arm ... somehow I doubt you remember the experience. Personally, I'd probably go with the Zune tat cause their logo is pretty sweet. Anyway for those of you who have never heard the melodious magic that is Tay Zonday ... I decided to add my favorite video of his for your enjoyment. I would probably sell my soul to sound like him ... just kidding ... but seriously. Also check out his cover of Swing Low Sweet Chariot [link]. His voice was made to sing that song.

On a Similar Note (good advertising):

The Wrong Team Won

I believe Robert Mugabe is feeling somewhat similar to someone who fixed a horse race and lost. Don't you hate that? You spend all that time and effort into intimidating the opposition and putting on a horse and pony show of an election (so over-rated) and now look ... people actually took you seriously and actually voted. I mean who does that? Clearly it was a formality. So now you have to go about the process of demanding a recount, declaring the opposition an act of treason and blaming it all on the British. Completely ruined the morning. Fortunately the army is already spread across the country for that intimidation factor so it is no trouble to have them start beating people as well.

Zimbabwe is in some serious trouble for those of you who don't know. They need our prayers.

BMW V8 [Its a Guy Thing]

Everyone loves a good V8. Chainsaws, pickups ... hell, I'd put one in a screw gun if I got the chance. I mean I'm not even a car kind of guy. Sure, someone usually has to tell me my mouth is hanging open whenever an Enzo drives by. And nothing will ever beat Top Gear's bit on that old Toyota pickup. But having driven a Ford Tempo most of my driving life, I know how good it feels to step down on a V8 and feel like you could pull a building down ... or actually pull one down, whatever the case may be. All of this is to say BMW just came out with M3 with a V8 engine. Now normally that would not concern me however the guys down in their marketing department are geniuses. This is what commercials should be like:

Keep in mind that there are no computer generated effects in that video. Absolutely amazing. And the geek in me goes, "that was shot at 10,000 frames per second!!!" And the Tim the Tool-Man Taylor in me ... well he grunts.
