this is a rare oops.
mtv2 had this on the screen with the audio of whatever show was supposed to be running at the time. i think its wild boys i hear. even during the commercials it ran like this. it ran for four hours at least. blatent mistake. but it made me continue to keep flipping back. im curious if they got more or less ratings.

Here's a groovy site for you (God help me if somebody made a post about it already and I'm simply repeating what has once been said).
It's ytmnd.com (you're the man now, dog).
The site features dozens of what are called ytmnds, web pages featuring a collage of a single image, optionally animated and/or tiled, along with large zooming text and a looping sound file.
Here's a simple, the first ytmnd: You're The Man Now Dog
Makes so much sense now, doesn't it? Not really, but this single page spawned dozens of spin-offs. Here's some of my favorites:
Batman: ualuealuealeuale: click and prepare to laugh.
Mr.T Shows Us How It's Done!: And how!
KITTY: Warning, cuteness overload.
Blue Ball Machine: Two words, Holy. Crap.
Vader on Wheel of Fortune: refresh this one until the audio and gif start at the same time.
Lol google.: They never cease to amaze me.
KAMIKAZE!!!!!: Bet he has quite a story to tell...
Ex Gon' Give It To Ya: When it absolutely, positively...
Professor X had ONE weakness!: Go on, guess what it is. It's so obvious.
Indiana Jones Can't Stop Katamari Damacy: Na Naaaaa Na-Na-Na Na-Na Na-Na...
YOUR ASSIGNMENT: Find one you think is funny and make us laugh.

Bruce: Open Letters
Obtained from: Kids in the Hall FAQ
Open Letter to the Guy Who Stole Bruce's Bike Wheel
Transcribed by: janet_langdon@magic.ca
Scott [Voice-Over]: And now Bruce McCulloch with an open letter to the guy that stole his bike wheel.
[Bruce enters, bike lowered from above. Lots of "Ah"s from the audience]
Bruce: Well, why did you do it? Are you some sort of jerk or something? It's *my* front wheel! What did you think, that I'd -- drive home and not notice it was stolen? What are you then? Some sort of *prick*? Some sort of idiot? Some sort of thief? What would you do with just my front wheel anyway? What good would just one wheel be? You human loser! Well, why didn't you buy your own wheel if you wanted one so badly. That's what I did.
[Music starts as Bruce turns away and stops when he turns back.]
Well, don't you think I need that wheel? Well, well, what were you thinking? JERK!
Scott [Voice-Over]:That was Bruce McCulloch with an open letter to the guy that stole his bike wheel.

Scott [Voice-Over]: And now Bruce McCulloch with an open letter to the people who watched the guy steal his bike wheel.
[Bruce enters, bike lowered from above]
Bruce: Well, you knew it wasn't his wheel! What did you think? He was coming back for the rest of his bike later? Well, why didn't you do something? Why didn't you say something? You human piece of apathy! Why didn't you say, "Hey! That's not your wheel! That could be Bruce McCulloch's wheel! We love him! And he loved that wheel!" Just eatin' brunch. Well, didn't you think I needed it? I did! Well, look at that! Feast on that act of violence! Good work, Einstein! Pus!
Scott [Voice-Over]: That was Bruce McCulloch with an open letter to the people who watched while the guy stole his bike wheel.

i'm a'gonna win!
you might have noticed the adorable little Mario section added to our sidebar. this is so we losers players can exchange our friend codes (screen names) and theoretically play together w/our DS's online.
what i assumed would be a cinch has turned out to be a big challenge. there are lots of talentedcheaters people out there. you can just tell they've spent their study halls pouring over shortcut maps and maniacally practicing every course. most of them are MUCH harder to defeat than the game's A.I. opponents. we old fogeys need a leg up, because winning this game isn't effortless.
the best basic strategy guide for MKDS i've seen so far comes from the great 1up.com. this is good for newbies and veterans: n00bs will learn the core skills, and vets will see what changes there are in this version of the game.
Mario Kart DS Strategies, Tips, Tricks, and Cheats from 1UP.com
most importantly, this article lets you in on when to use the starting line boost. i've had a bit of trouble with this, as it differs from the earlier Karts. "As soon as the number "2" in the countdown spins in and comes to a stop, smash the accelerator for a quick turbo injection to start the race with an unfair advantage. Careful not to start too early, though, or you'll redline your poor engine and start with an embarrassing disadvantage."

Myspace Trauma in the ER
Last night, my profile and picture apparently made it to the front page of myspace under their "cool new people" section. I watched my hotmail account fill up with over 400 emails (even after I shut it off.. or so I thought). This morning I decided that if I was going to weed through it all, I might as well share some of the more humours messages with my friends. So here we go.
*Baby, you're so sweet, you put Hershey's outta business.
*Hi there you cute candybar. Care to chat with a fun 26 year old guy from Sweden? :)
*i'm saw your profile and just had to say hi there but it would of been in a low issac hayes tone and my eyebrows woulda contorted themselves in a smooth suggestive manner
*With a look like that, how could any one resist you?
*im speachless... i wanted to tell you how beautiful you are but ... well i guess i just did.
Someone throw me a rope. I'm drowning in popularity over here, and I don't like it!

the XBOX 360 fiasco continues
so now this guy is suing Microsoft over his crappy Xbox. he is sort of making a good point, and that's probably all that will come of this. MS says that "only" 3% of consoles sold are faulty. that's more than there should be, IMO, but not it's not a tragic number. and this is probably another case of just a faulty power cord/adapter. i would be vexed if my 360 was screwy, but damn, i'd just take the machine back and write an angry blog post. then i'd play Kid Icarus.
in MS's defense, a far bigger deal is being made out of this than with video games in the past. are there really more defective systems or is all the bad press due to this being an extremely large American company with an extremely over-sized-priced-hyped piece of hardware? as you probably don't recall, a very similar situation happened with the glorious PS2. defects happen with EVERY console, but to what extent is hard to measure... it's up to the media to color public opinion.

but then, the original XBOX caught on fire, so maybe more people need to point out "minor defects" early.

Christmas, the time for greed and gluttony? I think not.
First, go here.
Next, go here.
Then, go here.
Last, go here.
Now that you've been brainwashed into thinking what a marvelous Christmas present this would make for a small child, a friend, or yourself, follow these links.
One.
Two.
Three.
Now, explain this to me. There are many people in this world who want for nothing, and yet appreciate nothing that they have in life. Is it now acceptable human behavior to teach your children that as long as YOU'RE not suffering you can do as you please (waste not want not), making it much more difficult for others to survive?
Parents, do the world a favor. Buy your kids a book for Christmas. Teach them right from wrong. And while you're at it, do everything in your power to protect them from the corruption they face each and every day of their lives. Don't expect the world to teach them everything they need to know, for the world is a very dirty place.. and as a teacher, I'll tell you we can't do it by ourselves. It's the only way this place is going to get any better. They are our future.

I Woke Up this Morning and Realized This
warm fuzzy Christmas feelings of kittenness
Nana used to always ask me if i'd seen the kittens yet. The Kittens are stars of a commercial that is about as esoteric as they get. 147 years ago, Bangor Savings Bank created an extremely simple little advertisement. their theme song was played holiday style, which worked very well, and two tiny kittens played under a Christmas tree. the only part that was really a commercial came at the end when the bank's logo would simply appear, or a narrator would give a quick holiday greeting from BSB.
the commercial is aired annually since it was instantly adopted as a tradition by all Mainers. this was probably a big surprise to the bank, but it's not about the silly bank. fortunately they know if they failed to air it, our response would be nothing short of a riot, and they'd have a public relations nightmare. hence, the kittens are immortal.
i figured i'd share, even though most of you will watch and go... so what? because I HEART THE BANGOR SAVINGS BANK KITTENS, and it isn't Christmas without them!
so here they are. beware the evil Quicktime format. mew!

Sugar plums and vodka dance in my head
Well, Zann has been quite busy the last few days. First she makes an appearance in my dreams, which is odd seeing as we've never met. What's even stranger is the fact that we were drinking alcohol in my dream, which I've never done. And to top it all off, I could actually TASTE the booze in the dream. Explain that. The first glass was wine, and then I had a glass of vodka (yes, an entire glass), and we topped it off with some sort of pink gingerale/cranberry looking mixture. I enjoyed the wine the most.
For her next trick, she gets a little wild and implements the new 301 Christmas template. After rummaging through grinch and charlie brown images, among others, ZIM was elected Xmas mascot 2005, (for those keeping track, it was a landslide.. ZIM won by at least 75% of the vote... Mike, Zann and I all agreed, although Jo-Jo was requesting Jerry a.k.a. the mouse. 3 to 1. Sorry Jo-Jo.)
I suppose after all her work this weekend, I'll have to forgive her for finally convincing me to open a myspace account. Mutter.
Drink all the nog... that kills me.
